A local retirement facility, initially enjoyed mostly by teachers and other educators, but reportedly open to any profession now. It is a relatively small, personal faculity.<br>First, l went to volunteer with a Hospice client. Now, I go to donate extra items l receive as a result of my donating to various causes.<br>There are always clients sitting near the front desk, some ambulatory, others in assistive devices, others sitting outside enjoying themselves. ALL in a good mood and interacting with each other. The two staff l have met at the desk have always been greatful and welcoming.<br>It appears as if it is a large interactive, friendly family.
