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. On top of everything the location in Newtown borough is fabulous.

The time my Father spent at Friends Home was a wonderful time for both of us. We enjoyed the quaint and beautiful Dining room and grounds. He spent a lot of time wandering and exploring the interesting town of Newtown. Sometimes I had the pleasure of joining him. It was good to know that town folk kept an eye on him and other residents. He received warm and competent care by the staff. He first stayed in the Independent Living apartment which was very well cleaned and maintained. They were always responsive to my concerns. His, daughter, Evelyn.

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. It continues to go up 3% each year. While that may seem standard, the total monthly fee also includes food, so the 3% increase is also on her meals. Please consider this when making your decisions. If we were to decide to move her out after only a few years to something more economical we would lose the buy-in making her first two years extremely expensively. My mother is relatively young and will likely live a long time. It’s unfortunate that the powers that be don’t think long term to keep their residents happy and make them feel valued. Perhaps their plan is to rotate their residents to keep the new resident buy-in fee free flowing.
