RETIREMENT LIVING

"Living at The Park at
Trowbridge has been a
wonderful change for me. I felt
at home right away. I've enjoyed
my apartment much more than
I ever would have imagined.

At first, I was worried that I'd
miss my old neighborhood. The
truth is that I've made a lot of
new friends through fitness
activities, crafts and other
things going on here.

My kids sometimes complain
that I'm never in my apartment
when they call, but I know it
puts their minds at ease that
I'm so busy.

Call or visit
The Park today!

Living at The Park at
Trowbridge is like being with
friends all day long. I never
dreamed my life could be
so much fun!"
