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.
