“...that’s why they say when your husband dies, get a dog.”
“Most seniors realize that unless I can do emails and download pictures, I’m never going to see a picture of my grandchildren...”
“There is no typical day here...sometimes golf, tennis, computer club, drama club...everyday you can do something new.”
“We wanted more than just a golf club, and The Villages has a lifelong learning college where we can take classes.”
“I am using this taperecorder to record my mom talking so we can record her stories and preserve her memories.”
“Residents need help getting out of bed, getting into the bath, sitting down, getting up... sometimes they won’t do that stuff unless we’re there.”
“After I fell I couldn’t drive anymore, so I couldn’t live on my own and I had to move into assisted living.”
“Everybody worries about their health as you get older, trust me.”
“The residents have a button and emergency chord to alert caregivers when there is an emergency, but if they fall, sometimes they can’t use them”
