Personal Care / Assisted Living
Hearthstone was founded on a simple premise, to provide quality affordable personal care services at an affordable price. It is a locally owned and managed company founded by 2 local friends who met in grade school way back in 1965. Their ambitions were realized when they opened their first of two Berks County communities where parents such as their very own could call home.

How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I started in the nursing home industry in the 1980's which gravitated towards assisted living. My goal was to develop, construct and operate affordable communities where parents such as mine could afford to live in.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
Our fantastic staff provides real quality care for our residents, "that really makes all the difference". Anybody can build a drop-dead gorgeous building, that is easy.
