  CELEBRATING THE 150TH ANNIVERSARY OF GREEN HILL RETIREMENT COMMUNITY

                        Tuesday, April 19, 2016

  Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in celebration of the 
150th Anniversary of Green Hill Retirement Community located in West 
Orange, Essex County, New Jersey.
  Green Hill Retirement Community is devoted to providing personal care 
to older Americans of lifestyles ranging from all levels of need. Green 
Hill continues to preserve the vision of its founders set 150 years ago 
by working to adapt to the changing needs of their community.
  Established in 1866, Green Hill is a nonprofit facility dedicated to 
providing compassionate care to seniors and their families. Originally 
founded by the Society for the Relief of Respectable Aged Women in 
1866, following the end of the Civil War with just 13 residences, Green 
Hill currently continues to expand and innovate new ways of living such 
as the launch of their Green House Homes development in 2011. Though 
the world has changed greatly since 1866, the need for selfless 
personal care continues to grow.
  Additionally, Green Hill provides families of elderly loved ones with 
all of the necessary resources crucial in the transition to a senior 
living community. Green Hill provides the tools and services required 
to evaluate the level of need for each prospective resident, determine 
what financial resources are available to them, and explore their 
different lifestyle options at Green Hill. Green Hill understands that 
transitioning to a senior living community can be stressful for both 
the prospective resident and their family; therefore Green Hill is 
dedicated to all efforts helping to ease the process.
  In addition to the quality care that Green Hill provides to seniors 
on both ends of the need spectrum, including those independent and ``on 
the go'' as well as those who require full-time assistance, Green Hill 
also offers an immense selection of recreational, educational, and 
social activities. These programs increase the comfort of living in the 
convenient metropolitan location of Green Hill.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in thanking the members and supporters of 
the Green Hill Retirement Community of West Orange, New Jersey for all 
of their service to the community, and in congratulating them on their 
150th Anniversary.
