What our residents say
José Luis Guzman, 73 years old
“I was looking for a home and a friend recommended this place very well. I have lived here for eight years. I feel good and comfortable. The administration and the apartments are great and there are many activities. I enjoy the green areas and I walk every day for an hour.”Nilda Alers, 71 years old
I used to live in Rio Piedras. I needed a place and I came here. I worked as a nurse for 36 years and I was looking for a place I could keep without too much work. I have lived here for 8 years and I like everything. I felt good in this place from day one. I go out into the hall and quickly meet someone to talk to and don’t feel alone. I made new friends. Also, the administration organizes many activities and we travel to the rest of the island all the time. I thank God for finding me this place. It’s like living in a palace.”
