• Testimonial: We can’t say enough about the care. Ross’ Mom and Aunt were both in the Personal Care Unit. It is very home like. It is not as fancy as some places but we were so pleased with the care they received and it is such a nice location. It is nice to know that the people of Newtown look out for their seniors. It shows the community cares about its senior citizens. It is very personal care. It is nice to know you have a place of such quality close to home. You are treated like one of the family.
