I am still active and independent. Why would I move to The Village at Germantown?
Our apartments and patio homes provide the opportunity for active and independent senior adults to enjoy their current lifestyles while relieving the burden of home maintenance and putting their minds at ease for the future.

If you are still undecided, do what many of our future residents have done. They visited other retirement communities and asked these questions: What is the setting like? How close is the community to my favorite activities? Who is on the development and management team and how much experience have they had? What are the amenities? May I have a pet? Is there on-site health care? In the end, our future residents decided nothing could compare to the quality, value and excellence of The Village at Germantown.
