Dateline: Oct. 30, 2023

Fine weather and a festive atmosphere on October 26th blessed the Grand Opening of Hillsbrook Village, a brand new, four-story facility, offering 119 units suited for independent living, assisted living, and memory care living conveniently located on Chester Turnpike near Routes 3 & 28, close to shopping and services.

Executives from Everbrook Senior Living were on hand to welcome residents and visitors and officiate at the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony.

Bob Kelley and Paul Botana-Gumbs shared their recollections of this project. Bob admitted that it seemed like a crazy idea at the time to start a major construction project in 2021 during the height of the pandemic. But they overcame every problem they encountered and completed the project.

While Bob looked on, Paul carefully approached the ribbon with the proverbial huge scissors in hand and finally cut it.

 

 

After the ribbon cutting ceremony, visitors entering through the main lobby were greeted by Hillsbrook staff who offered tote bags, donuts, chocolate bars, key fobs, and other items. In the dining hall, visitors enjoyed a variety of sliced cheeses, cold cuts, and beverages.

A trip to the 4th floor Library rewarded visitors and residents with some excellent desserts.

As an enticement to encourage visitors to check out several locations in the facility, a free raffle was held with holiday food baskets as prizes. All you needed to do was visit each location and get your raffle card stamped.

Upon leaving the event, you were greeted outside by an array of attractively carved pumpkins provided by Aubuchon Hardware.
