You Can Hear the Birds Sing!

Friday, May 11, 2012

Many times in the lives of seniors, you hear about all the challenges and frustrations of "growing old".  Recently, a couple moved to our Community and wrote us the following note that shares their feeling of moving over a hundred miles away to join this retirement neighborhood of new friends.

In November, 2011, Ron and I moved from northern Indiana to the Community.  It was a difficult decision to move out of our comfort zone-the community where we had lived all of our married lives, our friends, our church, the home where we reared our children.  What to take, what to discard.  it was the best decision we could have made.  We love our home on a quiet, peaceful street in Brookside Addition.  You can hear the birds sing.  We were accepted and welcomed by friendly neighbors and staff.  One lovely lady offered to share Iris rhizomes in the fall.  It is comforting to know that a nurse is only moments away and we will be cared for when our health declines.  It is reassuring to know that there is a security on duty. . .  We stay in touch with our old friends and embrace our new ones.  We enjoy the variety of programs and facilities available to us.  Our adult children are 100% behind our decision.
