Sarah and John Brintnall: Living Life to the Fullest for 5 Years

For Sarah and John, The Heritage at Brentwood® was an immediate fit when they visited five years ago. It was clear this community provided everything they wanted in their retirement: an active, social, and engaging lifestyle.

“After John and I visited The Heritage, we realized this was the place we wanted to be. It was active, it was social, it was everything we wanted to do in retirement, and we were ready,” said Sarah.

Beyond the social opportunities, John appreciated the maintenance-free living, which freed them from the stress of home upkeep:

“I liked it because there wasn’t any mowing the yard, trimming the shrubs, cleaning the gutters or worrying about the roof. It’s all taken care of here,” he said.

With a shared philosophy of staying physically and mentally active, the Brintnalls love how The Heritage supports their wellness goals.

Sarah said, “John and I believe if you rest, you rust. You’ve got to keep your mind active. You’ve got to keep your body active. And The Heritage provides that with the HealthyLife Center.”

“Our calendar is so full. You can’t do everything every day—you have to pick and choose, which sometimes is a little difficult.”

John added, “I love the fitness center. It’s got so many pieces of equipment—you can exercise any part of your body. Plus, I ride my bike, and the Brentwood trails come right into our development. We’ve got 48 acres here.”

Whether walking around the community on a beautiful day or hitting the treadmill when the weather turns, Sarah enjoys both the natural beauty and fitness amenities. She also highlights the importance of The Heritage’s LifeCare®:

“Understanding LifeCare here was very important to John and me. Before we moved here, John had a knee replacement. I had to take him four days a week for rehab. Here, it’s right down the hall.”

Dining at The Heritage is another highlight for the Brintnalls. Sarah raves about the diverse and delicious meal options, with two fabulous restaurants to choose from:

“We have eight different entrées; we always have four desserts made by our Pastry Chef. It’s fabulous.”

John also added, “In our prime restaurant, it serves filet mignon. It’s unbelievably soft and juicy—it’s one of the main dishes.”

In their words, The Heritage has become the perfect home:

“I love The Heritage because it became the perfect home for us. Don’t wait too late,” said Sarah.

“It’s a great social place. There are all sorts of things to do that you want to do while you can. We know more people here at one time than we’ve ever known in our whole life,” said John.

Douglas Gross: A New Chapter of Vibrant Living

Douglas and his wife moved to The Heritage a year and a half ago after his wife experienced several falls. The decision came down to one key factor—immediate access to care. But once they settled in, they discovered a world of activity and engagement they hadn’t expected:

“This was a good place to come where she would get immediate care when needed. And there are so many activities here for us to be involved in. We’re more active now than we’ve ever been in our lives,” said Douglas.

From art classes and bingo to library activities, Douglas and his wife found themselves busier than ever. The community’s extensive resources—including excellent medical facilities and access to physical therapy—provided peace of mind for both of them.

He said, “We have a wonderful medical facility. She has access to physical therapy when she needs it. So it’s wonderful for us. It’s a great lifestyle.”

Douglas also emphasizes the beautiful, expansive grounds at The Heritage, where he enjoys walking daily:

“We have beautiful grounds here, where I walk three miles a day and enjoy the outside.”

With an impressive array of amenities like a state-of-the-art fitness center, casual social bar, putting green, and more, Douglas is constantly on the move:

“The putting green is a fun place for us to hang out and socialize. We have a little competition a couple of times a week to see who makes the most putts. So I’m very busy. My wife wonders where I am most of the time!”

The Heritage® offers a rich community and inviting atmosphere, which Douglas believes is one of its greatest strengths:

“The facilities here are wonderful, but we have a wonderful community. The people are friendly and inviting. That’s probably as good a thing as anything within The Heritage.”

His final piece of advice? Don’t wait too long to make the move:

“A big mistake that people make is they wait too long to come to a place like The Heritage. It is very important to come here when you’re physically able to engage with other people.”
