Active Life at The Village
No matter what you like to do, The Village at Gainesville offers nearly every opportunity imaginable. Current resident, Gail Long, exemplifies this, and she enjoys the lifestyle of choice that she has here at The Village.
Gail originally moved to Gainesville in 2016 to live with her brother but wanted to move somewhere she had more opportunities for activities and socializing. She began searching for an active senior living community that could keep her occupied with the things she likes to do most.
“I looked at a few communities in the area, but The Village had the most to offer,” Gail shared. “There were more things to get into and places to go.”
Now, as a resident at The Village, Gail enjoys volunteering by helping with vespers, working in the community’s convenience store, volunteering for the residents’ association and participating in Bible study. When she’s not out and about in the 104-acre community, she likes to relax in her apartment home by reading, doing puzzles, catching up with friends on Facebook and watching some TV.
“I really enjoy my lifestyle at The Village,” Gail beamed.
Gail can live such an active lifestyle because of the excellent services available to residents of The Village. The services provided, such as housekeeping, dining and maintenance, lift a large burden for many residents. Gail especially appreciates housekeeping services that come every two weeks to her apartment home, and she also enjoys the delicious dining options.
“I don’t have to cook, and I don’t have to clean up!” Gail joyfully exclaimed.
Becoming part of the community
On-campus activities are a great way for new residents to meet new friends. They bring neighbors together in a unique way that you wouldn’t find in a typical residential neighborhood.
“The first person I met here told me that it’s really important to get out and see the community,” Gail recalled. “Once you get out, walk around and meet people, they’ll take you around and show you where to go. My favorite part of living here is that I’ve gotten to meet some of the greatest people.”
