From friendly neighbors to organized community events, it’s easy to feel at home – and for many residents, that’s one of the best parts of life at Amblebrook.

As Nancy puts it, “If you see someone you don’t know, you go up to them and you introduce yourself. And that’s been kind of the whole atmosphere here. It’s just so relaxing and open and welcoming.”

“We’ve had a lot of classes there. That’s where the veterans group meets and that’s where the history club meets,” David says. Nancy agrees: “And I’ve also taken two painting classes in there. There’s a resident here who teaches art, and I really enjoyed it. A wine club is another one, and culinary club.”

You use it all,” she adds.  “It’s just so accommodating to have everything there. I think they’ve thought of everything.”
