"Longview’s close connection with Ithaca College inspires me to be a lifelong learner – and teacher – all at the same time. Whether I’m enrolled in a class at IC or part of an intergenerational program at Longview, staying connected with young people creates energy, curiosity, and fun that’s unlike any other place I’ve lived."

"Since graduating from Cornell, I’ve lived and worked in Ithaca several times. Two of my children are here, so Longview is an ideal solution for me. My neighbors and the staff are so friendly and nice. I have a never-ending list of things to learn and do here."

“Marian and I are so grateful to live at Longview. The physical beauty of the place itself, its caring attention of all staff associated with Longview, and the amazing space and comfort of our apartment. We simply could not ask for more.”

“I enjoy the inclusiveness of this community and the gift of being able to have pets, and how wonderful each and every staff member here is, no matter what our needs.”

"We’ve been very fortunate. With my back issues, it’s been a perfect set up in terms of no stairs, maneuverable for those of us with physical limitations."

"Our decision to move to our patio home is one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. We love the peace and quiet of the location along with a safe place to live."

"It's been a very enjoyable time here. I love the variety of activities, and everyone is so cheerful and helpful. I get a lot of enjoyment in playing the piano for services"

"I find the friendships, the people, are interesting. The activities are very stimulating. I especially like the Ithaca College courses. I think that is a reason to come here instead of somewhere else. It's absolutely wonderful to audit a course."

"I am a recent resident at Longview and have found both the facilities and the staff to be well equipped to service my needs. There are a multitude of activities to allow anyone to become acquainted with other residents, socialize and make new friends. I am particularly happy with Longview's connection to Ithaca College, with access to all their facilities and the ability to audit courses at the college."

"I am still able to drive, but there are shopping trips offered through Longview when I no longer want to. We also like being able to plant things outside in our back yard. We’re always trying to plant something out there. Longview also gave us a raised bed, so we have a complete garden."

"Getting a full, nutritious meal once a day is a very nice thing to have, and we don’t have to do dishes. Longview has a very attentive maintenance team, and it’s very nice not needing to fix things ourselves. Longview has a good variety of entertainment as well. I enjoy much of the musical talent Longview hosts."
