Meet Our Residents

Sam Zachary, Resident since March 2007

In a Sunday school lesson I was studying, the writer was discussing and defining the word, Shalom. He pointed out that there is no single word in our English language that carries the full meaning of that wonderful Hebrew expression. We usually translate it as peace. But it means far more than that. He put it this way: "Shalom is where peace blends with safety and wholeness without need."

Peace, safety and wholeness without need. That almost exactly describes my experience at Arbor Acres. The only thing I might add to that is 'wonderful new friends.' Arbor Acres is my Shalom.

Dot Peacock, Resident since January 2001

Planning ahead is one of the kindest gifts you can give your children and grandchildren. That's why I made the decision to move to a house at Arbor Acres while I was still healthy and able to enjoy all Arbor Acres has to offer.

This is a true community with choices of accommodations and choices of how to spend your time and who to spend it with. I have made wonderful friends here. It is truly home to me now.

If you are thinking about a move to a retirement community, don't wait too long. You make the decision so your children don't have to!

Leslie Warhover, Resident since January 1998

I may be in my 80's, but I haven't slowed down yet. There is so much to do here. I barely have time to do it all. I feel very much a part of the 21st century here at Arbor Acres. The setting is perfect, the people are friendly and the food is delicious.

My granddaughter, Kelsey, was six years old the first time she visited me here. She said, "Grandma, you've got it made! You've got a wonderful house, a swimming pool and free ice cream whenever you want it." ...Then, she asked, "Will you still be here when I come to live at Arbor Acres?"

Elizabeth Callari, Resident since September 2004

The first time I walked through the Lakeside glass doors of Arbor Acres, there was a sense of calm, comfort and friendliness. Everyone called each other by name and there was obvious respect. The second time, the same thing happened! Then I knew I'd be making a life-altering decision. The staff taps into your strong and passionate abilities and then offers that expertise to other residents.

Doris Whitt, Resident since April 2007

On the day I moved into Arbor Acres, there was a knock at the door and my new next door neighbor invited me to have lunch with her. A staff hostess greeted us, called me by name, and seated us with some lovely people.

It was the beginning of a warm and friendly experience that has been an ongoing wonderful adventure. It didn't take long at all to feel I belonged here. When I walk down the hall, it is like a small town where everybody knows everybody. Now, I'm an officer in the Arbor Acres Resident council. That didn't take long!
