PSL and Doylestown Hospital sign Asset Purchase Agreement

Today Doylestown Hospital and Presbyterian Senior Living (PSL) announced an agreement for the transfer of ownership of Pine Run Life Plan Community (“Pine Run LPC”), a 532 unit/bed, five-star-rated Life Plan Community in Bucks County, PA.

After an extensive evaluation period and careful consideration by both parties, Doylestown Hospital and PSL have executed an Asset Purchase Agreement (APA) for Pine Run LPC. Closing is expected in the third quarter of 2023.

Doylestown Hospital will continue to work jointly with PSL to offer high-quality medical services to the Pine Run Villagers and residents. As part of the Pine Run purchase agreement, Presbyterian Senior Living will honor the contracts of current Villagers and residents.

In March 2023, Doylestown Hospital and Presbyterian Senior Living (PSL) entered into a nonbinding Letter of Intent in consideration of the acquisition of Pine Run LPC. Following receipt of regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, PSL will assume full ownership of Pine Run LPC, including Pine Run Lakeview Personal Care. PSL intends to continue operating Pine Run LPC as a Life Plan Community under a new name, Pine Run Village.      

Dan Davis, President and CEO of Presbyterian Senior Living said “Presbyterian Senior Living is grateful to all the people that have worked diligently to get us to this next step.  We are confident that the efforts of both organizations are leading us forward to continue the tradition of excellence at Pine Run and we look forward to the next few months as we finalize the necessary details to bring Pine Run into the PSL family.”

According to Jim Brexler, President and CEO of Doylestown Health, “During this process of due diligence, we were pleased that our early impressions of PSL were validated. PSL is a non-profit, mission-driven organization with a long history and deep commitment to the health and vitality of seniors.
