Like a handful of other residents, Pat and Bill made Wake Robin their new home during the pandemic. They relocated from California and were eager to begin a new chapter of their lives in a quintessential four-season New England setting by Lake Champlain. “We fell in love with the environment,” Bill, a former public defender, said. “Wake Robin is our ideal place to be active both in our cultural pursuits, as well as in our exercise interests like swimming and hiking.”

While still living in California, Pat and Bill enjoyed the support from Wake Robin as they made their transition. The Marketing Team helped them finalize home choices through Zoom and FaceTime, and Wake Robin coordinated travel and lodging plans with them. “I’m so grateful to be here,” Pat, a career social worker, said. “When we arrived at Wake Robin and had to quarantine, we found the kitchen stocked with ‘Welcome Home’ food and gifts. The entire staff made our trip from California to Wake Robin possible because of their stellar communication, care, and dedicated manner to helping us settle in.”
Pat and Bill dove right into the Wake Robin lifestyle. They frequent the new fitness center often and swim laps in the Aquatics Center. They’ve also taken advantage of the one-on-one trainings offered by Wake Robin’s physical therapists. They’ve explored Wake Robin’s four miles of wooded trails, which is a great way to know the campus
Reflecting on the adventure he and Pat took, Bill was clear on how they’re doing at Wake Robin. “We know that this was the best decision we have ever made in coming to live here!”
