n June, Wally and Beth Scherer left the crowded conditions of Northern Virginia, where they lived for 26 years, to begin their new lives at Patriots Colony in Williamsburg.  Wally was convinced a Greenspring Home was the right size for them.  “We certainly did not want to go from a four level split home to a townhouse or apartment,” he said.  “This house is a rambler.  We opted not to have the finished upstairs because we prefer one level,” Wally commented.

One added option the Scherers are delighted with is the enclosed sunroom.  It makes a pleasant television/ newspaper room for the couple.  The couple’s decision to relocate to Patriots Colony grew out of a commitment to move only once for their retirement.  “We did not want to have an interim move,” said Wally.  Many of their friends and associates had moved to houses in the country, and had to move again when they needed care.  “We agree with the concept of a continuing care community from the examples of friends and families,” added Wally.
