"Dad sits at home all day while I'm at work. I'm afraid that he's just wasting away. He can't do the things he used to do and his friends are gone, but he'd never go to a nursing home. What can I do?" For less than the cost of the nursing home, your dad can live with friends his age at Alpine Way. Activities will keep him busy and happy. He can go for van rides, enjoy events like Music in the Park and Lion's Club ]heatre, go fishing, or stay in to play cards Assisted living apartments now renting! and shoot the breeze about the good old days. All activities are optional, so if he'd like some quiet time, he has his own private apartment for relaxation. If someone you know is stuck at home, come and tour Alpine Way.
