John Meyer had the program today. He introduced LeRoy Tinnean from "The Gardens" Assisted Living community in Jefferson. Assisted Living provides a combination of housing, supportive services, and personal health care designed to respond to the needs of individuals who require assistance with activities of daily living. There are 38 apartments in the complex, with 33 currently in use. There are 25 full and part-time employees at the Gardens. LeRoy shared some of the upcoming events and answered questions from club members. LeRoy and his wife Nancy (Gardens Marketing) have lived in Panora since 1993. Thanks to John & LeRoy for an interesting program!!
