At 91 years young, Muffy Barhydt continues to embrace new experiences, stay active, and build meaningful friendships.
“I love being part of the book club, and I thoroughly enjoy playing Bridge with various groups. I also really look forward to the Current Events discussion group each ...week, and the lectures and concerts are always wonderful. I was also surprised that living here has led me to develop new interests. The Wellness Coordinator, Megan Boyd, has a superb exercise program, and I now go to Chair Exercise three times a week. It’s terrific!"
And the loveliest surprise of all was that I’ve made new friends here. Who can believe that at almost 92 years old I’d be making new friends. It makes all the difference to be so connected with other residents.”
