Since we were "in the neighborhood," we stopped to visit another Acts retirement community at Brittany Pointe Estates. Situated on 34 acres, it is said to reflect the charm of the region of France for which it is named. Brittany Pointe Estates is a gated community with about 279 independent living apartments, 37 assisted living units, and 92 skilled nursing beds.

We also saw an area of garden plots, but did not see outdoor games (they could have been in the central courtyard). The nearest hospital is two miles away, and the Philadelphia airport is 39 miles/45 minutes away.
