Tudor Oaks Redevelopment Continues Independent Living – Tudor Oaks is creating 18 new apartment homes

in the independent living Dogwood Wing. These completely remodeledhomes are in great demand and have already been reserved by active

seniors who want to be part of the community. They are looking forwardto a swim in the pool, coffee and a snack in the Butternut Bistro, a movie inthe Olive Wood Theatre, grilling on the new Party Patio or a stroll around themany newly landscaped areas of the campus.

Assisted Living – In this phase of redevelopment we are building additionalapartments in the Windsor House assisted living wing of the Community.These new apartment homes will be larger one bedroom and twobedroom apartments to meet the needs of existing and futureresidents, and will be available later this year.

Frances Henry Health Care Center – In addition to the newIndependent and assisted living construction we are alsoadding a new building to the Health Care Center. This newlydesigned area features a new floor plan and a special sectiondedicated to residents who only require short termrehabilitation. The Rehab Center will offer residents privaterooms with showers, TV’s, telephone and WiFi all designedto enhance your rehab stay.

With these new additions to the campus Tudor Oakscontinues to define itself in themarket as “the community ofchoice” formanyseniors.

EVERYTHING IS UNDER ONE ROOFI came to see the Art Gallery exhibit, saw the swimming pool and was impressed by the fact that all levels of care and activities are under one roof. – Dolores Coleman

QUALITY OF ENTERTAINMENT ABOUNDSMen’s coral group, sheepshead card game, bible study, Catholic Mass and weappreciate dining with different residents each day. I swim almost every morn-ing … the pool is by far my favorite amenity. I don’t think we had any idea ofthe quality of entertainment we would see when moving here. It has been ex-ceptional. – Alfred Woyak

LOVE THE STAFFLisa (Fitness/Wellness Director) is a fantastic instructor and her exercises areexactly what seminar speakers have told us we need. The pool is a tremendousasset. All employees are respectful, friendly and very efficient. – Patricia Bardonner

MAKING FRIENDS WAS EASYI enjoy my neighbors here in Birch wing. I am pleasantly surprised at howquickly we came together not only as neighbors but as friends. Before I camehere my idea of a retirement community, like so many who are afraid to moveinto one, was that I would be up rooted from familiar things particularly oldfriends and neighbors. I asked myself a number of times if relocating to TudorOaks was the right thing to do. Would I be able to make new friends like theones I would be leaving. Well, that old wives tale went out the window the firstweek I was here. – Margaret Pearson

OUTSTANDINGThe physical plant is beautiful and well maintained, plus the residents andstaff are outstanding. I enjoy my independent lifestyle. – Robert Zeit

LOVE THE SPACEThe determining factor in selecting Tudor Oaks was the 110 acres of spaceplus a swimming pool, greenhouse and well designed apartment. Living in acommunity is more enjoyable than I expected. – LuAnne Thompson

PEACEFUL AND BEAUTIFULI love the quality of the apartments and facilities plus the peaceful environ-ment and beautiful landscaping. – Guy Osborn

SOCIAL ACTIVITIES AND CONTINUING CAREWhy is Tudor Oaks different from every other retirement community, besideshaving 110 acres to enjoy? For one, it is continuing care all under one roof.This means the campus goes from independent living to full time nursingcare. Second, you are no longer alone and continual help is a pull cord awayproviding a safety net, if you will. Third, social activities, fitness classes,restaurant style dining, church services, golf cart tours, green house, bookclub and maintenance help, to name just a few. Take a tour and you will beoverwhelmed by everything. – Louise Osborn

MOTIVATIONAL AND RELAXINGThe exercise classes motivate me to “keep moving” which is great. Thewhirlpool is very relaxing and enjoyable. The food is excellent! – Karen Olson

EVERY DAY IS EXCITINGTudor Oaks is a cheerful and happy place with many offerings for good health.The food is great! I could not be happier. Each day has been an exciting daysince I moved here! – Doris Danneberg

WELCOMING EVERY STEP OF THE WAYA determining factor for selecting Tudor Oaks was the location. The open 110acre campus offers the beauty of nature, fresh air, a peaceful and serene at-mosphere. I invite folks to visit Tudor Oaks NOW while they are physically ableto enjoy the environment of our community. In due time we have the availablehealth care facilities right here on our campus. Our Welcome to Tudor Oakscampus amidst construction was beyond description. We parked our car andwalked toward the building unsure of where to go. A maintenance employeeheading home, greeted us and said, “Come with me”. He unlocked the doorand said, “your keys are on your kitchen table”. We walked in and SmartMoves had placed everything where it belonged. We were home. The WellnessPrograms have “kept me in shape” and activities have added zest to my life. Iam happy to have the opportunity to be a resident while health enables me toenjoy the activity and social life of Tudor Oaks.

– Dan Schowalter

FRIENDLINESS & CARINGThe friendliness of both staff and residents, as well as the variety of activitieshas exceeded our hopes. Tudor Oaks is a fun and friendly place to live. It is acaring, yet not interfering “family”. We are blessed to be a part of an out-standing new home-life. – John Gruber

COMPLETE CARE, AND A MAN CAVE TOOMy wife is in the best health center – I went to 7 other locations before select-ing Tudor Oaks. I enjoy life in my independent apartment and can swim at7:00am every morning followed by the 8:30 exercise program. I like the ManCave too. – Ken Schneider
