Willow Wing, a Higher Need of Care
Friends Home is currently renovating 10 rooms in the main building to become our Integrated Memory Unit, called Willow Wing.
The area will provide a secure, intimate setting for our residents who require additional safety and/or thrive in a smaller, less stimulating environment.
Residents will be supported by Montessori-trained staff and given every opportunity to participate in social events and activities that benefit their well-being.
Take part in this initiative and leave a lasting legacy on the Kennett Square community for generations to come.

“Personal, loving care for the elderly.”
- S. J. Palumbo
