Moving to Sun City Roseville My parents moved to Sun City Roseville many years ago to be closer to me. My dad‘s health was declining due to his Parkinson's Disease. He'd been diagnosed with it 10 years earlier but had done a great job of "holding it at bay" by staying very active. They had spent the past ten years living in a warmer climate where he could golf daily. Turns out that was the healthiest thing he could’ve done. TODAY'S Senior Retirement Community But now the time had come to be near me to help both of them with various health issues. (Not to mention, get in more grandkid time!) … Continue reading...

Looking for A Large Home With a DOWNstairs En-suite?

Kaye Swain Roseville Real Estate Agent sharing large home for sale with downstairs en-suite
