"I was lonely at home; I missed laughter. My move to The Park at Trowbridge

was a wonderful experience. The entire community is warm and gracious

and I was welcomed like royalty. I like everything about The Park at

Trawbridge—the wonderful staff, food, transportation, entertainment,

friends and neighbors. And now I can choose to be by myself or

surrounded by friends. I've never had it so good."
