“Grand Lake Gardens is perfect when maintaining your home and yard become a burden, but while you’re still active. Since moving here, I’ve resumed (after decades) playing my trumpet and recorder. Before that, I didn’t have the time to do the things I really enjoyed. Residents are honest-to-goodness, caring human beings—it’s nice to be in that environment every day.”

“My mother lived at Grand Lake Gardens for 18 happy years. We visited her many times and got acquainted with the community. The people are wonderful. Everyone has a story to tell about their lives. The intimate size of the community allows us to eat together, socialize and get to know each other on a more personal level. I love getting together with my knitting group and gardening in the resident gardens. It feels like being around family.”

“I only see beautiful at Grand Lake Gardens, the view of the Zen Garden from my balcony is wonderful! It was the people that first attracted me to Grand Lake Gardens. The residents are welcoming, they make you feel at home immediately. And the staff is so kind.”

"From the moment I walked through the front door, I felt like I was home. At Grand Lake Gardens, I have found a wonderful group of people my own age who have become the greatest neighbors anyone could ask for. I am creating new memories. The community spirit here is awesome. I feel safe, secure and stimulated. For anyone interested, I highly recommend taking a tour.
