From around the corner or around the globe, The Gladys & Henry Crown Center for Senior Living is home to a diverse group of older adults. Ranging in age from 62 to over 100, fully retired or still employed, our residents have a variety of interests, abilities and lifestyles. All contribute to making Crown Center a wonderful and vibrant community in which to live.
"From my very first days at Crown Center, I learned the meaning of community," according to Sylvia Slotkin. "As I tried to find my way to the lobby the first time, it became a group project. 'A little to the left,' someone said, 'You're almost there, Sylvia,' another voice added. Sylvia is blind, so she had a double challenge learning how to navigate in her new surroundings, but with a little help from a lot of new friends. Sylvia could rejoice at her accomplishment and bask in the warmth of so much good will.
Faye Stickney, a new resident since October 2007, expresses her feelings about living at Crown Center in this way: "My stress level is down, my health is up, I have lost weight, and I'm happy and comfortable. It's this place!
