Seniors Stay Independent and Active At Rose Glenn Village
Don’t expect a slow pace of living at Rose Glen Village‚ a residential community for senior citizens.
The residential facility is designed for independent living‚ offering services such as a dining room‚ housekeeping and transportation for shopping and doctor’s appointments. The idea is to help active‚ independent seniors stay that way‚ says Martha Nichols‚ com munity relations director.
“We are providing a need that really had not been met before with this beautiful retirement community‚” Nichols says of the 100-apartment complex‚ which opened in February 2007. “It’s wonderful for people who are tired of cooking and having to keep up a house.”
And there’s very little time to sit around at Rose Glen. An arts and crafts room jockeys for activity with the game and card room‚ and a near-daily regimen of field trips and other activities keep the rocking chairs – if you can find any – from being overused.
“The community is really behind us‚ and people really like it here‚” Nichols says. “We’ve got lots of wonderful activities in-house‚ and we take lots of road trips. It’s a wonderful place for people who want to cut back on their home-owning responsibilities‚ but still have a great place to live.”
