“The fact that [dad] doesn’t worry about the upkeep of his home being isolated in bad weather is a comfort to us.The wooded grounds are lovely and spacious, providing a serene view from almost every window. The building connections to the main clubhouse provide easy access to the hub of activities and dining. The apartments are clean and updated, with a very comfortable layout.

Now that Mom has moved in, she is taking advantage of the pool classes and regularly exercising. The opportunities for intellectual, social, and spiritual stimulation, as well as entertainment are impressive.
