"I've got to find a new place for Morn, but I've never done this before. What can rot, tell me about Alpine \ray? What do I get for the money? I don't even know what questions to ask!" We're here to help. We've been providing a safe and lovely home for seniors for over twenty years. For less than the cost of the nursing home, Alpine Way has private apartments with private showers, 24- hour on-duty licensed nurses, a shuttle bus to downtown shopping and doctor appointments, a variety of activities, social areas for gathering and visiting, a beauty and barber shop, chef-prepared meals, laundry services, and security. Everything is on one level (no stairs!) and parking is available for residents who still bring their cars. A full-service hospital and several clinics are just a few blocks away. Best of all, we are complimented the most for our friendly and helpful employees. If you're ready to help Mom find a new home, come and tour Alpine Way. We'd love to treat you to lunch, show you our lovely apartments, and answer all your questions.
