Rotary Villas offers safe, secure and comfortable home

There’s no place like home
Whether you’re just starting your family, are an empty
nester or perhaps you’re starting the process of downsizing
for retirement, there truly is no place like home.
That’s why making an informed decision on where you’re
going to live as you age gracefully is so important.
Moving from a single-family dwelling can be a positive
experience and for those who have made that decision,
many have discovered that their lifestyle improves tremen-
dously and your new residence quickly becomes your new
home.
Debbie Brown, general manager of Rotary Villas at Cro-
cus Gardens, said that it doesn’t take long for their new res-
idents to feel right at home in the safe, secure and
comfortable environment they provide, but what’s even
more rewarding is to see is how their lifestyle changes.
