“The image has definitely
evolved,” she says. “People
younger and younger are mov-
ing here. Thankfully, they don’t
see us as the depressing ste-
reotype of a retirement home.”
“People come here in their ear-
ly retirement years and they
just fall in love,” she adds.
One of the ways Cross Keys
Village is changing percep-
tions, Mindy says, is through
their philosophy of ‘living with
a purpose.’ They give residents
choice, she explains, including
the choice of various ways to
stay active and productive. Ev-
ery season, they offer countless
courses, classes, exercise pro-
grams, trips, groups, art, crafts,
music, gardening, worship, and
more volunteer opportuni-
ties than any other retirement
community. These options are
all available for residents on
any given day, allowing them
to fully customize their retire-
ment living experience.
Cross Keys Village has a range
of Residential Living accommo-
dations to suit various budgets
and lifestyles. The campus in-
cludes an apartment building,
cottages, larger Bridgewater
homes, and the upcoming
‘Hearthside’ residences – beau-
tiful new buildings that will fea-
ture 10 flats each, all with ga-
rage space.
The same notion of choice ap-
plies in the village’smain Health
