Participate with us

I enjoyed sharing ideas for retirement centers with residents at Hunters Pointe, when I was in Montana visiting my friend Joan.  I told them about the Crown Center for Senior Living and learned what they do that's similar ... or very different.  I'll share this sign from Hunters Pointe with my friends here:  "Don't just live with us — participate with us!"  We do that, here at the Crown Center:  participate in events, bus trips for shopping or eating, volunteer work to help others around us, and gardening, for instance.

A slightly different angle shows the entrance to Hunters Pointe (off to the left), with a deer's head on the wall.

We have a group of knitters here at the Crown Center, whereas the residents of Hunters Pointe have a quilters group.  This is the room where they get together, and that's a quilt on the wall that they were in the process of piecing together when I was there.

Looking down from the third floor near the elevator, the stairs and dining room are visible beyond the second floor corridor.  To the left on the second floor is the table for working jigsaw puzzles, and to the right is a small table with a chess or checkers board on it.  And two more deer heads.  On the two unseen walls of the atrium are another deer head and an antelope head.  It is Montana, you know.

Both places seem like nice places to live, homey, welcoming, and full of activity.
