Families can expect a warm, welcoming environment with a highly regarded staff and a beautiful, peaceful location in Newtown. While long-term residents often thrive through social activities and a sense of community, prospective residents on a fixed budget should be aware of annual rent and meal cost increases.

Key Review Excerpts
“My father spent his last 7 years at Friends. He made many friends here and enjoyed a lot of activities. We're grateful to the staff for taking such good care of him.”
“He received warm and competent care by the staff. He first stayed in the Independent Living apartment which was very well cleaned and maintained.”
“If you or your loved one is on a fixed budget, the cost goes up substantially each year. My mother moved in at the end of the year and in January they increased her rent after only a few months of being there.”
