Social Life.
"There is plenty of social life. I have met everyone in the building. There are many group meals and activities, but you always have the choice to join in if you want to or not. People are very respectful if you want your privacy, too."
"It's easy to go out, too. You can get tickets for Access and they will drive you directly for your doctor's appointments. There is a bus that comes right to the end of our driveway, and it can take you into town."
"Living here is the best thing for senior citizens because we are very secure, content and have no worries. This makes our life richer, easier and more joyful. We have a real concern for others."
"I wouldn't want to live anyplace else. This is family to me."
"You can be alone here, but you are never lonely. It is easy to make friends. There are always plenty of people to talk with and many social activities. I recommend staying active and joining a committee. Every month, there is a committee that puts together group lunches or dinners. People are always getting together to play cards or bingo every week. It is important to stay busy."

Apartment Living and Life After Loss.
"Living here has been a gift from God. I just love it. I am originally from Chicago, and I moved to California when I retired, but that was not a good place for me to live for my health. My daughter suggested that I move to Pittsburgh. We were driving around and saw the apartments and that was it. I have lived in apartments all my life in other cities, but this one is the best. I will never move."
"The best thing that happened to me is living at St. Augustine Plaza. The environment affords the opportunity that is friendly, caring and safe. This truly is a 'new way of life.'"
"When my husband died, of course, I missed him very much, but I didn't have that feeling of lonesomeness because of living here. Everyone is helpful, and I'm so happy here."
"I moved into here in 1995 from a house and at first, it was not easy. Very quickly, I realized that you don't have to worry about shoveling snow during the winter, about the roof leaking or any other hard work. No doubt about it … you realize all the benefits. Plus you feel so secure."

Housing.
"My friends who come to visit me here are always so surprised at how clean everything is. Everything is spotless. The apartments are just immaculate."
"I have enjoyed living here for 20 years. I love the location and the view of the city from my balcony. The building has been well kept and the new security cameras make it really safe. The manager has done a good job improving the building. The staff has been wonderful with helping the residents. If you have a problem at all, all you have to do is speak up."
"When I walk into our building, I get a good warm feeling. The other residents are like family. It's a place where I feel safe and secure. We have everything we need including a chapel and an exercise room. I enjoy the parties and dinners we have in our recreation room. During the warm weather, I enjoy sitting outside and watching the people go by. When I have a problem, I know the staff will help me out. I couldn't live in a better location."
Our Caring Staff.
"The women religious who work here and the people who live here are lovely. They helped me so much when I first moved here. Since I was coming from another state, they helped me find new doctors and helped me change my health insurance. They helped me with all the paperwork."
"I have never met such wonderful or such dedicated people like the women religious who manage our apartment building. This could not have been a better experience."
"The women religious are the best. They are always willing to help and are always there for whatever we need. We feel very blessed to have them as our managers. I know that I am very lucky to be living here."
