A well-known assisted living facility on Rt. 412 in Lower Saucon Township has been shuttered.

Earlier this week, a reader alerted Saucon Source to the fact that Weston Rehabilitation & Nursing Center on Leithsville Road is no longer in operation. Its Google business listing also states that it is “permanently closed.” It wasn’t clear when the business closed, or why, but according to its website Weston was a 44-bed facility with “a holistic approach to resident centered care.”

“Renovation plans are in progress and feature fully upgraded private and semi-private rooms with wi-fi, as well as a state of the art rehabilitation and wellness gym, life enrichment center, private dining room and bistro, and outdoor recreational facilities,” the website further stated. “Our future plans for building a greenhouse will allow for farm to table dining with organic gardens, and whole foods.”

Saucon Source reached out to Renaissance Senior Homes of Easton, which owned the facility, for more information. We will update this article with further details if any additional information is received.

Weston Rehabilitation & Nursing Center was formerly known as the Mary Ellen Convalescent Home.

Opened in 1964, it was recognized as being one of the oldest family-run businesses in the township in 2011 when then-owners Nancy and Lynn Keck were presented with an Outstanding Business Award at Hellertown-Lower Saucon Community Day.
