“It was hard for my mom to leave the farm after my dad passed, and then she moved to a townhouse,” Tracy Russell VanWyk of Newton said, “But loneliness was hard on her till she moved to Park Centre. Having people to see, dine with, and visit with has been a true blessing! The team is wonderful and friendships are even better! Knowing she’s there has been a huge relief to her daughters.
