One of the things you give up when you move into an assisted living community is space. There's no denying that an assisted living apartment is probably smaller than the family home you left (or will leave). There's a reason it's called downsizing. But that's not a bad thing.

They bring together people of faith for fellowship, spiritual study, prayer and other activities designed to grow a person's relationship with God.
