Friends Village, Styer Campus sits in a quiet, park-like area of Newtown, Pennsylvania, and has been serving older adults since 1897, carrying on Quaker values like dignity, purpose, and kindness in how it supports its residents, and you'll find gardens, walking paths, and outdoor seating where people can visit and enjoy nature. The campus is part of a nonprofit that welcomes people of moderate or middle income, with a mission to make care accessible, and has a long history of offering a home-like, clean, and friendly setting, where residents get the support they need, whether they want independent living, assisted living, memory care for Alzheimer's or dementia, or skilled nursing services.
The Styer Campus features villas and cottages with private living rooms, and some have full kitchens or kitchenettes, while floor plans include studios, one- and two-bedroom apartments, and two-bedroom deluxe units, all designed to help residents live with comfort and privacy, with amenities like housekeeping, three meals a day made with nutrition in mind, Wi-Fi, pets allowed, and emergency response systems included in the rate. Staff help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication management, while services also cover transportation, parking, and regular housekeeping, with a team that's known for being helpful, responsive, and joyful.
Programs cover a wide mix of options, such as yoga, the Senior Planet program, storytelling, cultural activities like Japanese calligraphy, outings, birthday celebrations, and monthly health topics, with activities meant to keep residents engaged mentally, physically, and socially. There's 24-hour support in memory care, and personalized programs for those with Alzheimer's, along with round-the-clock medical care in skilled nursing, so people can adjust care as needs change, staying in the same community-a setup known as a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), which is good for residents who want to age in place without worrying about moving.
Meals are served daily with menu options to choose from, and there are gardens and walking areas outside, so residents can stay active, comfortable, and connected. Friends Village organizes open house events so visitors can tour the campus, meet the friendly team, and see what the community offers, and the staff go out of their way to accommodate needs. The environment feels truly welcoming, with a focus on wellness, independence, and creating a sense of belonging. The community supports growth through specific programs like Life with Purpose, Growth & Change, and Monthly Health Topics, while also offering respite care to give short-term relief for caregivers. The overall goal is to let older adults experience meaningful, comfortable living with the freedom to join in as much as they like, all within the safe, historic setting of Friends Village in Newtown.
