I have a good story to tell you about the Birches… My father ended up here in March of this year (2024) after being in hospitals and rehabs for 3 months due to continuous falls. He was pretty beat up and very frail when he arrived. The staff immediately took him in and took over his care. I live in Newtown and was there every day, but the staff really led the effort to convalesce him. My family and I (after much deliberation) decided to put him on hospice care. Best decision we could have possibly made. We had so many different resources available to us suddenly. My dad was in even better care than before and an angel named Cay from Gentiva hospice took over his care and counseled our family. It was truly life saving. My father passed away peacefully and comfortably on May 16, 2024. We were shattered, but the entire hospice team was there for us… and our mother, his wife of almost 70 years. She was still living in their small house in Buckingham Springs (a wonderful over 55 community). Our family decided we needed to move my mom into the Birches, she fought us for several months. I became fed up in mid July and just picked her up and brought her there and stayed with her for the first twelve hours or so. The next morning I came over to see her and she was already off and running. Making friends, learning the routine's, etc. I realized she was so lonely living at her former house with literally no one to talk to since my dad was gone. It is now almost mid December and my mom is thriving! She has a close circle of friends that spend all day together. When I visit her I spend time with her friends daughters and sons that also visit at the same time. It's one big happy family. I cannot say enough good things about the staff at the Birches. The caregivers know my mom very well and are always letting me know the slightest thing they notice regarding her physical or mental health. My mom is very safe, well taken care of, and loved at the Birches. Her meals in their beautiful dining room are excellent as well. The Birches is not a large facility, so when you call their main number to inquire about your mother or father, the receptionist will respond with something like "she just went outside to sit on the front porch with her friends to enjoy the sun". It's very comforting to know. I was there on Friday of last week to visit and walked into a full blown party with an Elvis impersonator. I'm not sure who enjoyed it more, myself or the residents. If you are thinking of a place for your elderly parent, at least stop by and check out this one. I toured many, and NONE compared to warm feeling I got at the Birches
