"It's been a fascinating and rewarding experience to be a Board member at this time.  Our founders anticipated needs for the elderly and gave us Arbor Acres.  Thirty years later it is the Board's responsibility to continue to deliver a high quality of life for present and future residents." ~Judy Briggs, Former Board Member



"Projecting the needs and growth for Arbor Acres in the future is an ongoing process, and I can truly say this is a working board to make sure Arbor Acres remains a premier retirement community." ~Emma Graham, former Board Member and Resident



"I am impressed with the excellent  benefits that Arbor Acres provides employees.  There is a commitment to promote from within, opportunities for additional education through the employee scholorship fund, a wellness program, supervisor training, and Arbor Acres works hard to keep salaries competitive.  The result is a healthy work environment with satisfied employees which means a lower job turnover rate." ~Don Eppert, Employee Relations Committee chair and Board Member



"I am often asked by friends and colleagues what my parents like about living at Arbor Acres.  My answer is everything!  My parents have found that living at Arbor Acres nutures the soul, the staff has a caring attitude, there is beautiful art on the walls, the residents are happy, the food is excellent, and the activities are varied and interesting.  What a comfort, and blessing to our family." ~Lisa Purcell, Board Member
