Wrapup of Hillsbrook Village Grand Opening

A Festive Occasion at Hillsbrook Village in Allenstown

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.
