The Birches of Newtown
reviewed on: 03/09/2015 by AnonymousThe Birches in Newtown is a wonderful facility with great caregivers. My aunt elderly aunt (97) resided there a short time, but during that time she was well-cared for and I was kept informed always as to how she was doing. She seemed very happy there and even with her poor memory (dementia), she was included in activities and made to feel important and treated with dignity. I live a distance from Newtown, PA, but felt comfortable leaving here there, knowing she was being well taken care of.
Thankful Family
reviewed on: 10/14/2019 by AnonymousThank you so much for the care that you give our Aunt & Uncle. From the very first day that they've been at The Birches, we know that they have been in excellent hands. Uprooting them from Acton, Mass. was a necessary step towards insuring they they might have a better quality of life... as they were no longer able to care for themselves. Although their transition to assisted living has been a challenge, the care and love and patience of your wonderful staff has made all of the difference in bringing them back to full health, and helping them in "settling-in" to their new home here in Newtown. We will be forever grateful to all of you for all that you do for them.
Decent Tour
reviewed on: 03/07/2017 by AnonymousI had a decent tour of this community. The lady that gave the tour was professional. The community was nice, and clean. It was an okay experience, but I didn't get the feeling that this was the community for my mother, and her needs.
Just do your homework!!!!
reviewed on: 01/25/2017 by AnonymousI recently toured this facility and I found there to be a strong odor as you entered the memory care unit. I mentioned this to Carrie who was taking me on this tour. Some of the patients seemed "out of it". I did leave a deposit for my parent for sometime later on in this year. There are questions yet to be answered, as in percentage of yearly increases, emergency evacuation routes, educational levels of aides, medications administration by house physicians, and visiting hours. Do the memory care units have the same aide every day? I would like to see the odor gone before I place my parent in this facility. Before anyone commits their parent to this facility, drive around the facility and then compare to other facilities' area for their residents.
Care and cost
reviewed on: 08/22/2017 by AnonymousWe liked this community. The staff was nice and caring. They wanted more money for different services for care. The community did not offer one price for the services needed. We wanted to find a community with a set fee for everything. Families should consider a tour to make sure they know what they are paying for.
