This is the Best p[lace to live. There are so many activities that I sometimes have 5 items a day which of course I do not have time to do them all Aquatics in the pool, balance class mind body exercise class many lectures by residents and people from the outside. Many art classes. I sign up for every event and place we go to on the bus with Sharon!! Wonderful museums, restaurants art galleries even an alpaca farm!! I have been here four years and never run out of things to do. Our church is right here in Nelson Hall which is great. Nelson Hall is wonderful with all the activities and the outside concerts which I attend all. We do not have to leave campus with everything available right here. Sharon is super with all her bus trips and Pam is great with the selection of concerts. Marti is great as our movie presenter and Zack is such a help with all the visual art things. Having the Market is so handy that we can buy most things we need. Transportation to doctors and the shopping busses are a real plus. We do not need a car. Kim is tops in the baking department.!! The bakery items are superior. Having two restaurants is great for variety. The food is good and the staff are so efficient and friendly. It is a blessing to have rehab right here attached to the Independent part of Elim. With Lisa and Fran here in the beauty salon we are so fortunate. We never have to go out for hair appointments. It is wonderful to have the nursing staff and all the medical facilities such as removal of wax in ears hearing aid tests blood tests podiatrist right here in house. I must give a great Wow to Matt and his staff for the landscaping which is magnificant!! Our maintenance and housekeeping people are all so efficient, qualified and friendly. It is so nice to just walk down for a cappachino in the bakery and chat with so many different wonderful residents and staff. It also takes quite a while to get my mail as I chat with more people along the way. As yo see I love living here very much. Irene Schaefer
