NEW OXFORD, Pa. (April 23, 2026) — Cross Keys Village – The Brethren Home Community today celebrated the groundbreaking of its Hearthside expansion, marking a significant milestone in the organization’s continued growth and commitment to high-quality senior living.
Residents, local officials, project partners, and community leaders gathered at the Cross Keys Village campus for the ceremony, which included remarks, a ceremonial blessing, and an official shovel turning to commemorate the start of construction.
“Hearthside offers the kind of vibrant, connected lifestyle that today’s senior adults are seeking,” said President & CEO Beverly Asper. “This expansion allows us to meet increasing demand while continuing to invest in our community that prioritizes vitality and wellbeing, engagement, and peace of mind.”
