Hanging out starts to mean something different after 50 years. But while those wild days at the club—grooving to Blondie or Earth, Wind and Fire in bell-bottom jeans—are no more, “having fun” is still the primary goal. And with weekly wood-carving, photography, acrylic painting, ballroom and Greek dancing classes, the Carmel Foundation packs fun into every activity. Take note of the affordable meals, local excursions, movie nights and 24/7 health care support: That’s senior living done right.
