Let's put a contract together So they gave me the basic plans and I took it from there I knew what I wanted to do and I accommodated the plans to meet my Lifestyle even which way a door opens that way or this way or the way, there were sliding doors to accommodate space The marketing team is wonderful here It was very easy for me to coordinate with the marketing people and the contractors they couldn't have been better. It was an absolute Wonderful experience. I maximize every square inch of closet space and storage space Everything is top-notch quality of every component not only the woodworking but the floor materials top-notch top of the grade Units for the people that are not architects and didn't have the experience that I had the marketing people helped them a great deal They make it as easy as possible Oh the maintenance in this building is incredible we have to put in a work order, but that's alright They have come the next day if it's a critical experience, like my faucet broke.

My name is Meg Mann and I am a retired teacher and then went into ministry We've been in every possible place that there is in the area for people as they retire and My mother lived here for 30 years and had the best care ever. She left it here. She loved the people What I love there was the compassion they cared for her There are people we've talked to and they'll look at us and go oh my gosh, you're so young why did you do that? Because we'd rather settle here when we can make that decision ourselves And because this is where we wanted to be It's rare not to have a program at night we went to one where the guy was an expert in pyramids and all the archaeology that went with it It's such a good place you have everything at your fingertips if you need it and this is a place where it has always been full of compassion and caring We have only one child if we had left our three-story house to her to empty and take care of With an acre of land. It just didn't seem like a fair thing to do but I think my daughter feels comfortable with us here because she doesn't have to worry about us and that's what we liked Where do you find that elsewhere? I haven't that's why we're here Now you're making me laugh
