Cross Keys Village - The Brethren Home Community Revenue and Competitors

Cross Keys Village - The Brethren Home Community traces its roots to 1908, when church leaders and congregations of the Southern Pennsylvania District of the Church of the Brethren bought a farmhouse near Carlisle, PA, and founded the Brethren Home for the Aged at Huntsdale. \r\n\r\nThat small facility operated successfully for more than 40 years until the house was destroyed by fire in 1951. Fortunately, all residents and staff escaped the blaze.\r\n\r\nResponding to this adversity, the Brethren Home’s trustees decided to purchase the Cross Keys Hotel near New Oxford and relocate to this larger building. The new facility opened on October 20, 1952, and soon was serving twice as many residents as had been at Huntsdale. The old hotel building was razed in the 1970s, and the Brethren Home evolved into a modern continuing care retirement community, offering nursing care, sub-acute rehabilitation services, adult day services, personal care, and independent retirement living. \r\n\r\nIn our more than 50 years at Cross Keys, our campus has grown from 19 acres to more than 250. Much of the new space is devoted to residential housing for more than 500 villagers who live in cottages, country homes, and apartments of various sizes.\r\n\r\nIn 2006 we changed our name to Cross Keys Village - The Brethren Home Community, reflecting our leadership as a not-for-profit continuing care retirement community. Throughout the years and all of our changes, we have kept the accent on Christian love and community.\r\n\r\nOur Mission: A Brethren ministry dedicated to enriching the lives of older adults\r\n\r\nOur Vision: To be a leading innovator offering older adults a life infused with quality and purpose
