when we thought that it would in the future we are going to find our way into a Retirement Center we started looking at all of the retirement centers in the area and what were you looking for was a retirement center that had community where people were really relating to one another Westminster was heads above as far as the friendliness of the residents and it was it was just so outstanding to us on our first visit here I walked in and just started wandering around on my own and everywhere I went I was just amazed at the beautiful little garden areas the restaurants just the general overall attractiveness and feeling the people were so welcoming and it really was an easy decision Westminster and other CCRCs which is continuing care retirement centers they are not your mother's nursing home they're a full-blown community of people who are active and involved in lots of activities and I go to the gym three days a week and that's another extremely friendly atmosphere and makes us feel good about ourselves that we're out there exercising those days it's just the loveliest way to spend a day you can go outside and greet people you can go back in your home and have your quiet time there's a place to walk out in in the gardens or go on the hiking trail you could go to the fitness center and exercise or take a swim there's there's every opportunity here to live the lifestyle you choose without being encumbered by the problems that home owning can bring you the most life affecting thing that happens here is the relationships that begin to develop very rapidly and people are just so kind inviting us out to dinner inviting us to do things with them and it's just it's an amazing process of assimilation and it doesn't take long we both like to play cards so he went to a pinochle group I think for the first one and he mentioned to one of the people there that we both like to play bridge so lo and behold we were called to play bridge probably in within two weeks whatever lifestyle you choose is is okay here people won't force you to go out and do anything that's your that's your opportunity my favorite campus activity is that I love the walk and one of the hidden benefits here at Westminster is we have a lot of corridors and so I walked the quarters every day we've met so many lovely people and the food suits us very well in our casual lifestyle if we don't have dinner plans with somebody in ocotillo or Donnelly's we will go to the cafe because of the meal that they're serving that night they serve some very outstanding meals for me I'm not planning meals anymore I love to cook and I always said if somebody would come in and give me a menu for the week I'd be delighted that amenity is just 99 percent with me there was a definite reason that we moved to Westminster and the reason was that we investigated all of the CCRCs around the area and we were looking for community where people were relating to each other and we found that at Westminster if someone is not happy at Westminster it's his or her own fault because there's plenty to do everybody's friendly and without big extension the friendship on our part we just were made to feel very much at home life isn't perfect but this is as close to it as it gets i I don't I don't think I'd want to live anywhere else honestly the most meaningful part of being a not-for-profit organization is seeing how our charitable acts impact the lives of our residents and their families Westminster villages charitable purpose provides residents with the peace of mind of knowing that they may continue to live here enjoying all of our services and amenities regardless of financial difficulty they may encounter
