Break your hip, and it can be even worse. Half of those who do, never regain their pre-fall level of functioning. The...

“This was a good move.”
Margaret moved into independent retirement living some years sooner than she had planned, and she hasn’t regretted it for a minute. While researching where she might like to live once her own home got too much to manage, Margaret found she liked the lifestyle at and location of Mulberry PARC.
