“My late father spent quite a few years at the Timbers and really enjoyed his stay. The apartments have nice layouts, lots of activities for folks to do and lots of helpful and lovely neighbors. The sunset from his apartment was especially wonderful. (nevermind the dirt, he was unable to get outside to tidy up)”
“My 93 year-old mother-in-law moved into an assisted living apartment at Orchard Path nearly 3 years ago and we have been quite pleased with the facility and staff.”
