My father lives here in an independent apartment. It's lovely. He really enjoys the social interaction, planned activities (like trivia before dinner every day, weekly bingo, and weekly live music). He reports that the food is excellent, which he enjoys with friends daily. From living alone, to living with dozens of great friends, it's been a remarkable change in the quality of his daily life. My children enjoy visiting as well... they have a wonderful holiday party and the grounds are nice and my kids like feeding the fish in the pond. Extremely pleased with our experience.
