Westrum Senior Living at West Whiteland is a proposed personal care facility. Personal care is a type of senior housing where residents get help with daily tasks such as meals, medication and bathing. County records describe a building of about 54,390 square feet on roughly 6.8 acres in West Whiteland Township, with 125 parking spaces.
Two buildings already on the site would stay in place. The records do not say what they are used for now or what they would be used for.
A township Planning Commission agenda from September 2022 includes a staff memo on the Westrum Senior Living plan. It shows the project went through a conditional use application, which is a special approval from the township supervisors. It also shows a land development plan review. A 2026 township agenda item mentions licensing and easement documents for the project, which suggests it was still active. No news coverage or organized opposition was found.
What it could mean nearby
- The 125 parking spaces point to daily traffic from staff, visitors and deliveries. No traffic study was found.
- Keeping the two existing buildings may mean less new construction on the site.
- A personal care facility adds senior housing and care jobs, but the number of units and staff was not found.
Where it stands
The county's latest filing is dated 2024-04-03. Township records show a conditional use review in 2022 and later business items in 2026, so the plan appears to be in the later approval and implementation stages. Next usually come final plan approval, permits and construction, and then state licensing of the facility.
