Stafford Village - National Church Residences
Construction is nearing completion on The Hartford at Stafford Village. Groundbreaking took place in the spring of 2021 to redevelop the National Church Residences (NCR) senior living community. NCR captured the event and has compiled a video to commemorate the groundbreaking and celebrate all those who played a part in this redevelopment. The Hartford at Stafford Village is expected to open in Summer 2023.
Questions or concerns about construction can be emailed to Elford construction contractor Andrew Durant.

Initial Information Shared with Old Worthington Residents by NCR
National Church Residences, a central Ohio-based national non-profit that provides senior homes and services across the U.S, has been a part of the Worthington community since 1973. Over the past two years, National Church Residences invested more than $100,000 into capital improvements to its 88- unit Stafford Village/Stafford Court senior campus located east of High Street between Stafford Avenue and North Street. These improvements focused mainly on accessibility and safety at the site, which was originally built nearly 50 years ago.
National Church Residences has begun a community outreach effort to explore the need and possible expansion of senior housing options at the site. Over the past several months, its representatives have engaged current senior residents, neighbors, civic leaders, community partners and other stakeholders. National Church Residences anticipates completing this initial information gathering before creating and sharing any formal plan or requests with the greater community and eventually the City of Worthington. National Church Residences embraces and is dedicated to a community-focused planning and zoning process that allows multiple opportunities for public comment and input.
