A typical day begins with help as needed with dressing, bathing, and grooming. Breakfast choices range from cereals to omelets and beyond. Then you may choose from our daily roster of activities, sign up for an excursion or simply decide to relax in your own apartment, drop by the library to read the daily papers or plan a bridge game with friends. You may choose to sit and listen to our grand piano play all your favorite melodies, or you may keep your hairdresser appointment and have a manicure.

A Bingo game may be in progress in the activity suite, a computer advisor is on hand to help you e-mail your grandchildren, and, weather permitting, perhaps you may venture out on a group walk. The bus is departing for Westgate Mall Shopping Center in the afternoon, but a TV special catches your eye. You may be interrupted by lunch with colorful choices displayed just outside the dining room to help you decide. Then, perhaps a movie is announced or - a nap.

The day will not end with dinner. There will be Rummy, Bridge, TV, movies, salsa lessons, a local choir sharing songs - or a chance to reminisce with an old friend who has chosen retirement here, as well. Then you return to your own apartment filled with your familiar furnishings and keepsakes. The days will never seem long enough to incorporate the rich array of educational, social and recreational choices.
