In The Game of Life, players wind their way around the board earning money, buying a home and adding children. Depending on the throw of the dice and the decisions made, players end up retiring to “Millionaire’s Mansion” or “Countryside Acres.” Carmel Valley Manor isn’t the mansion or the quaint country shack in the game, but it is a nonprofit Continuing Care Retirement Community run by a board of directors who adhere to the community’s original mission of providing high-quality housing and healthcare to senior citizens. Choose from a studio, to an apartment, or up to a full-sized home – there’s an array of price points available. Residents enjoy well-prepared meals in a recently renovated dining room with a stunning view of the Santa Lucia mountains. And there are a bevy of activities, both indoor and outdoor, as well as discussion groups, field trips and more. Carmel Valley Manor residents have won the game by landing in the best senior living facility in Monterey County.
