February 08 News

Tennis, Golf, Bowling Anyone? You Bet!
Have you heard of the Wii? It's an interactive digital game system played on a TV.

If you visit Grand Villa on Thursday afternoons you'll see our residents throwing a bowling ball, swinging a golf club and serving a tennis ball — all with a digital controller. The best part of the system is almost everyone can play. Players report they get a workout, too. Yep, it's a lot of fun and games at Grand Villa!

Welcome to our new residents! We’re glad you joined our family.

Icicles in Florida?!

Brrr! The water in the decorative fountain by our entrance was stopped cold by overnight low temperatures. Residents were surprised to discover icicles in Florida this morning.

The cold weather is expected to last a couple more days with lows in the 30s and highs in the upper 50s. Temperatures in the 70s are predicted for the weekend.
