"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.
