This was the philosophy that guided a group of men and women who founded Sherwood Oaks. This handful of volunteers who would later become the first residents of the retirement Pittsburgh community, collectively visited over 50 retirement communities in Pittsburgh's metro area before they incorporated, raised funds and bought 84 acres of farmland in what was then sparsely populated Cranberry Twp., PA.
Sherwood Oaks is licensed for 77 beds, about typical for the area, where senior care communities in Butler County average about 72 beds.
