Louise is an energetic woman with a circle of friends “who live up the street,” and one especially close friend who “just clicks with me,” she states with exuberance.

When you meet Louise, a guess at her age would be late seventies, and her laugh and verbal response are an expression of disbelief yet pleasure that she appears so much younger than she is.
However, like many Palm Village residents whose life style is so healthy, her lovely appearance hides the fact that she is eighty-five.
Her story of why she moved to Palm Village is similar to the story of many who reside here. Her husband had Parkinson’s disease and her children suggested that they should move to the retirement community. They sold their home and moved to a two-bedroom Patio Home so her husband could have access to the health services provided at Palm Village.
Mrs. Friesen’s husband eventually moved to Skilled Nursing and her walk to the on-campus center was easy. “Because we were at Palm Village, he was very well taken care of by the staff and yet I could visit him and help him as much as I was able to.”
And her reply to the question of what’s best about living at Palm Village is also concurrent with the reply of most residents. “I feel safe here. There are many activities and we can participate in as many or as few as we like. The property is very big and I get plenty of exercise just walking here”, Louise states. She enjoys the group trips to the movies and off-campus places to eat as well as the many planned activity trips.
And again the common Palm Village Resident attitude resonates when Louise is asked how could life be improved and what would she tell other people in her age bracket. Her chuckle dominates as she says, “No complaints, life is good here. I tell people don’t wait too long to move here. I am very happy we came here when we did.”
