Q£.. "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.
We'd love to treat you to lunch, show you our lovely apartments,
and answer all your questions.
