Ginny Lowery, Scottsdale, AZ

My husband and I left the home of our dreams at Scottsdale Ranch and moved to our new home at Classic Residence by Hyatt and The Plaza Companies more than six years ago; we’ve never looked back! Time has flown because we have stayed so busy. The camaraderie is great.

Ralph and Polly Eilers, Dallas, TX

Life is great here at Classic Residence by Hyatt in Dallas!

Kathy Bond, Highlands Ranch, CO

Jack Mathews, Reno, NV

I've found a home at Classic Residence by Hyatt in the fullest meaning of the word. The staff has created an atmosphere which is fun and entertaining. I enjoy being pampered.

Mary Bein Stulce, Hollywood, FL

It’s great to have so many choices and to live in such a caring and warm community. The staff is wonderful, and my fellow neighbors are always good for a laugh and to enjoy my life with.

Rabbi Seymour Friedman, Aventura, FL

One of the best things about living at Classic Residence by Hyatt is the opportunity to keep learning new things.

Jean Rusmore, Palo Alto, CA

Jim and Sue Shepley, Scottsdale, AZ

People have wondered why we moved here from a home only a mile away and while we were in good health with no apparent need of health care. I’m glad you asked! We didn’t want the thing that made us ready for this place—health concerns—to be the very thing that would prevent us from qualifying for the life care program. We had a life outside of here with family, church and business activities, so we didn’t need what we thought people who moved in here needed. Was I wrong! We’ve made at least 100 new friends and have become more involved than we had ever expected.

Sally Freeman, Highlands Ranch, CO

Classic Residence by Hyatt is the right choice for me. I don’t want the home upkeep anymore. There are many activities to choose from and I can continue to participate in my outside interests and hobbies. It’s good because I can shut the door and leave, knowing that my home will be looked after.

Paul and Arlynn Tramble, Reno, NV

Irving Perfit, Boca Raton, FL

I came to Florida with reluctance. After spending three months at Classic Residence by Hyatt in Boca Raton, however, I fell in love. I finally feel at home.

Tom and Patty Woods, TidePointe, Hilton Head Island, SC

We like it fine here, and, while we miss living in our beautiful Marsh Island home, there are enormous advantages to having someone else prepare the food for you, clean the house, and deal with the thousand issues of home ownership, ranging from discouraging the termites to fertilizing the lawn, disposing of the trash, fixing the roof, etc. We think TidePointe does a wonderful job of maintenance, keeping the grounds attractive and clean. The meals are excellent, and our chef shows considerable talent in having a wide variety of choices and frequent innovation. We are firmly convinced that nine out of ten people procrastinate in considering making the move to a facility like TidePointe, so that they tend to come here too late, instead of too early. We believe that it is worth while starting the process early, allowing you to enjoy a wider choice of the available facilities.

John W. Salzer, Naples, FL

We have lived in the Naples area since 1986 and had decided that in a few years we would look at Bentley Village, A Classic Residence by Hyatt. We felt that Bentley Village definitely has the country club atmosphere that we were accustomed to and offers everything that we wanted. Most important was the long-term care that would relieve our children of any worries about their parents.

Bernee Bloomfield, Glenview, IL

I placed a deposit and moved into Classic Residence by Hyatt at The Glen eight months later. That was nearly four years ago, and it remains one of the best choices I've ever made in my life. I enjoy the peace of mind knowing long-term care and service are available. I also like the camaraderie and companionship. There are a number of activities to choose from, so there is always something to do. Plus, the dining program includes incredible menus—the food is gourmet. I just love it here.

Caroline Crapo, Monterey, CA

Janet Mooney Parham, Hollywood, FL

Coming to Classic Residence by Hyatt was one of the best choices I’ve ever made.

Robert Rosenberg, Scottsdale, AZ

Living at Classic Residence by Hyatt and The Plaza Companies has truly been a godsend to me. I have made many friends and am very involved in the community.

Ali Williams, Naples, FL

My husband and I were afraid we would miss our large home in Port Royal, but here at Bentley Village we have a really big apartment with so many windows and sliders plus a lovely porch for my orchids. We also have the same Florida feel we had in our home for so many years. We are so happy here! We love the food, the entertainment, the parties and the graciousness of all of the Classic Residence by Hyatt family. All my children agree that Bentley Village is a wonderful place!

Eric Rad, Plantation, FL

I like to keep active, involved and intellectually engaged. Classic Residence by Hyatt in Plantation certainly provides me with many opportunities. The Nova Southeastern University professors do an excellent job of teaching thought-provoking on-site courses for the Institute for Learning in Retirement. I also like to volunteer, helping out as a blackjack dealer. And as past Resident Association president and current board member, I work with residents and staff to make our community the best it can be. I have been living in this community for five years, and there is always something to do here.

William and Myrna Ebert, Highlands Ranch, CO

The life care program at Classic Residence by Hyatt is very important to us. We realize we may not need it, but we are willing to pay for it up front. We’re also looking forward to sitting down to dine without having to prepare or clean up. Plus, we will not be charged for extras like parking or housekeeping. We believe that Classic Residence by Hyatt offers the best value.

Elaine Tiegen, Aventura, FL

Volunteering in the Classic Residence by Hyatt library is a wonderful way to give back to the many great people who live at this community.

James and Kathleen Hecker, Chevy Chase, MD

Anne Kent, Boca Raton, FL

I love all the activities that Classic Residence by Hyatt has to offer. I have resided here for 12 years, and I know all the exercise I get keeps me happy and healthy.

Henry Margulies, Teaneck, NJ

I'm a long-time New Yorker and have many good friends there. Living at Classic Residence by Hyatt in Teaneck lets me stay close to them and to be near my son and daughter. As head of our Resident Activity Committee, I help choose cultural programs and concerts that will appeal to all of the residents. I'm happy to participate and enjoy the time I spend working with others. Now some of my friends live at Classic Residence by Hyatt because of my recommendation.

Dr. James and Dolores Conway, Glenview, IL

We were initially attracted to Classic Residence by Hyatt at The Glen by the company's name and reputation. It is because of Classic Residence by Hyatt's experience with understanding the needs of older adults that our high expectations have been met. The well-trained and caring Classic Residence by Hyatt staff is always concerned about our well-being and comfort. We have fine dining, interesting new companions, and a host of events and activities to enrich our bodies and minds. It is also reassuring to know that the continuum of care is there for us should the need arise. We are very pleased and happy to be part of the Classic Residence by Hyatt family at The Glen.

Dorothy Fitch, Dallas, TX

When I moved to be closer to my family, I chose Classic Residence by Hyatt. There are many advantages to living here. I have a spacious apartment home with large rooms and beautiful views of sunsets and city lights. The staff is exceptional, the meals are wonderful, and the residents are so congenial. Best of all, whether I'm off to theatre in London or to Portugal, Morocco or Peru, I can lock the door, have nothing to worry about, and enjoy myself. I'm very happy!

Helen Stein and Lorraine Tondreault, Boca Raton, FL

We met each other after moving to Classic Residence by Hyatt in Boca Raton. Now we're the best of friends. On any given day, you can find us power walking or on the treadmill. And three days a week we're in the pool for aqua aerobics. We need to stay active because of all of the goodies Lorraine bakes! There are just so many wonderful people here that you're bound to meet someone and develop incredible friendships—like we did!

Marge Bennett, Reno, NV

Bill Albrecht and Patsy Davidson, Scottsdale, AZ

My husband Bill and I wanted to give our children the best gift of all and found it at Classic Residence by Hyatt and The Plaza Companies. It includes peace of mind and security both for now and the future. Best of all, we are having the vacation of our lives. These three years have been so full of fun, friends and activities. We feel so fortunate to have found the perfect match when it comes to senior living communities.

Olivia Lynch, Naples, FL

I met Irene Whaley after moving to Bentley Village, A Classic Residence by Hyatt, about eight years ago. We're both very active and wanted to live where there will be help if and when we need it. At Bentley Village, we can be busy whenever we want to be. The social life is absolutely fabulous—it's wonderful to meet so many new people. And we have the best parties. Everyone enjoys the music and dancing. We're all like family. With so much to do here and so many people to see, we're always on the go!

Dorothy Matthews, Yonkers, NY

I moved from Florida to Classic Residence by Hyatt to be closer to my son, who lives in Manhattan. All of the real estate agents he spoke to said this is the best community. Now I get to be closer to my family. There's a lot to do here—I love to read and enjoy the library and bookmobile visits. And I like to go on the outings as often as possible. Plus, it's nice having people around you. The staff is always here when you need them.

Fred and Ruth Darling, San Diego, CA

We moved to Classic Residence by Hyatt at La Jolla Village over two years ago. It has what we want in a retirement residence—a nice apartment in a convenient location and friendly people with interesting backgrounds. We also like having the Wellness Center on site. It gives us, as well as our children, peace of mind knowing that it's there if we ever need it. We love the place!

William and June Traupel, Aventura, FL

We lived about a mile from the new Classic Residence by Hyatt in Aventura and watched the community grow from our balcony. When we first saw the model, we thought it had such ambiance. And, after we looked at several other places, we decided Classic Residence is simply the best. We like the beautiful design and that everything is bright, shiny and new. We couldn't be more pleased about having made our move here!

Helen Rider, Aventura, FL

I lived in a condominium complex that has pools, tennis courts, restaurants and lovely views. I had everything I could ever need there except for one thing: The security of life care. That's why I moved to Classic Residence by Hyatt in Aventura. As a resident, I've continued my lifestyle with the assurance that, should anything happen, I will be well taken care of. I'm among friends at Classic Residence by Hyatt. You can't get all that at a condo!
