We have spent close to 2 weeks at Church Hill Village in respite care. Church Hill is beautifully managed with kind ,attentive staff, fine food and well selected activities. We heartily recommend this facility

About a year ago it became apparent that my parents could no longer live independently in their own home. In researching options our priorities were to keep them together, and keep their two small dogs with them. Of all the facilities we visited Churchill was the most welcoming and accommodating of their needs. The dogs have been welcomed and are very much part of the community. As Dads needs increased the staff adjusted and made sure he and Mom had all the support necessary. The maintenance department has been stellar. Mom enjoys the recreational activities and having physical therapy available on site is a nice perk. Mom is still able to be part of her beloved Newtown community. While of course she would prefer to be in her own home, Mom tells people that. "If it has to be, this is the place to be."

My grandparents “new home” has been nothing short of amazing. They’ve been there for about 6 months now and I can’t express how grateful I am to the entire staff for keeping them entertained and cared for. It feels like family when I walk through the doors to visit. It’s the small things that my grandparents notice like all of the servers know their drink order, maintenance is quick to hang a picture for them etc. There is not one staff member that hasn’t been exceptional. I feel so happy that my grandparents are comfortable and in a place that truly goes above and beyond. I’ll gladly move in when the time comes 50 years from now, haha! Thanks everyone!
