From Global Classrooms to Duncaster

As retired teachers who have taught in a variety of places, we were West Hartford residents for many years. Prior to that we both moved a number of times around the U.S. and abroad. We chose Duncaster after considering several options because it’s a Life Plan community. It provides us the security we desire—for the rest of our lives.

I love being connected

I chose a Life Plan community because I love being connected. At Duncaster, I’m surrounded by amazing people who’ve led amazing lives. We share stories about where we’ve been, support each other no matter where we are and have a real sense of togetherness. And we do what we can to extend that feeling to the greater community.

There’s so much more of life to explore and I still have more to offer the greater community. At Duncaster, I get to prove it every single day.

Some of my friends are perfectly happy to just sit on the sidelines and watch life go by. But not me. I had to find a place where I could stay active and engaged. A place that offered more than just the proverbial rocking chair. Why? Because there’s so much more of life to explore and I still have more to offer the greater community. At Duncaster, I get to prove it every single day.
