Testimonial

Person's Name
"All the activities are just wonderful. I like to take trips. I participate in an exercise class and the PACE program for my arthritis. I volunteer a lot. I work in the Village Mercantile, I usher once a month in the Tree of Life Chapel, and I help with sing-a-longs in the memory care facility. I actually volunteered in the Village Mercantile before I moved in, which was great, because I got to know a lot of people ahead of time."
