“Today is the one month anniversary of joining Walden Place Senior Living. I chose Walden Place because they welcomed my cat, Helen of Toy, and I knew a resident who was happy here, and my tour of the residence impressed me. I needed a place to live that had a community to share meals and meet friends. I joined in on craft and art activities, exercise group, Bingo and Scrabble, and live music performances. I’ve gone on bus outings to coffee shops, ice cream parlor, and grocery stores. I feel safe, welcomed and loved.”
