New friends made at Arbor Rose
Ann Duncan & Ken Leslie
A New Friendship, A New Chapter
Ann Duncan and Ken Leslie moved into Arbor Rose one day apart in 2018 but they didn’t meet until they were sitting in the courtyard last summer.
They soon learned they had much in common – both were widowed, both had children and grandchildren, both loved the outdoors. Now they are pursuing mutual interests including exercising at GoodLife Fitness, doing jigsaw puzzles and reading – all while observing social distancing… and wearing matching masks. Even with the restrictions during the coronavirus, living at Arbor Rose at Jerome Home has not been hard, they said. And their friendship has helped. “It’s much better than living alone as I was,” Ken said. “Here, they can’t do enough for you. I’m more than pleased I moved here.”
