For Bill and Marie DeLorenzo, moving to Fairhaven, a premier continuing care retirement community in Sykesville, Maryland, was a life-changing decision. After 63 years of marriage and a lifetime of living in traditional homes, the couple made the leap to apartment living—and they couldn't be happier.
“We’ve been married for a long time, 63 years, and we've never lived in an apartment, and especially never in a high rise,” Marie shared. “I adjusted immediately. It never became an issue. I always thought I would not want to live in an apartment."
"The people who live and work here are so friendly and welcoming, and I just feel so secure, so safe,” she added.
Fairhaven’s vibrant and welcoming atmosphere has made it easy for the DeLorenzos to embrace their new lifestyle. With a bustling calendar of events, nightly entertainment, and an active, engaged community, there’s never a dull moment. “One of the things I really like about Fairhaven is there’s lots of activities going on, there is always something to do, and the nightly entertainment is wonderful,” Marie said.
Her husband, Bill, agrees wholeheartedly. “All these activities really enhance the camaraderie,” he said, emphasizing the close-knit relationships they’ve built with fellow residents.
The DeLorenzos are taking full advantage of Fairhaven’s amenities, which foster a healthy, active lifestyle. With opportunities for fitness, social engagement, and intellectual stimulation, Fairhaven keeps residents engaged and thriving. “You can do a lot,” Marie said, “and we probably have not done as much as we could do.”
Fairhaven isn’t just about an active lifestyle—it’s about peace of mind. As a continuing care retirement community (CCRC), Fairhaven offers the security and reassurance that residents will be well cared for no matter what the future holds. From independent living to assisted living and skilled nursing care, Fairhaven provides excellent healthcare services at a predictable cost. It’s a unique opportunity to prearrange future health expenses, ensuring residents and their loved ones never have to worry.
For Bill and Marie, this peace of mind is invaluable. The safety, security, and sense of community they’ve found at Fairhaven have made their new home a perfect fit. “It’s wonderful,” Marie said.
From the beautiful apartments and cottages to the exceptional healthcare services and abundant opportunities for fun and connection, Fairhaven has everything residents need to live their best lives. For Bill and Marie, moving to Fairhaven wasn’t just a change of address—it was the beginning of a new chapter filled with joy, community, and endless possibilities.
