Q2. "Are you on one level? I don't
do well with stairs anymore."
Yes, we are! You won't have to climb stairs to get to your
spacious apartment, and you'll pay less than you do at the
nursing home! For less
than the cost of a semi-
private room, you can
get a 900-square-foot,
independent apartment
at Alpine Way with 3
chef-prepared meals
a day, parking nearby,
a kitchenette with a
refrigerator, and, of course,
24-hour licensed nursing services available when needed.
If single-level living in a beautiful setting appeals to you, come
and tour Alpine Way. We'd love to treat you to lunch, show you
our lovely apartments, and answer all of your questions.
