A life beautifully focused

Dr. Elliot Coleman shares his talents at The Evergreens

The first thing you notice about Elliot Coleman is his kind and easy-going way with people. He’s a good storyteller with a winning smile. It’s no surprise to learn Dr. Coleman’s warm and caring bedside manner was one of his greatest professional attributes as a cardiologist.

Since retiring, he’s applied a similar focus to the art of photography. His pictures are displayed throughout the apartment he shares with his wife at The Evergreens, a beautiful Acts Retirement-Life Community in Moorestown, New Jersey.

Elliot’s photography has been a hobby for decades. He developed an interest years ago while serving in Vietnam. Over time, he honed his craft and learned new techniques and equipment.

“I started taking pictures with a Canon, stopped and started throughout my life, and picked it up again when we’d travel,” he notes. “Now I’m using a digital camera…and it’s much easier.”

Dr. Coleman came to The Evergreens a few years ago on a lark. “We really had no immediate plans to move. We didn’t appreciate how much better our lives would be here, but what we found was just perfect for us,” he says. “We fell in love with the place right away and moved in just four months later. It’s wonderful doing the things you love.”

The commitment to healthy living, the profound sense of well-being, and the spirit of community and friendship are found throughout the campus.

Jim Petty, Senior Vice President for Strategy and Mission for Acts Communities is proud to add, “We’ve been very successful offering the best of today’s healthy lifestyle while providing long-term peace of mind and security. But it’s the communities themselves, the social networks built among residents, the relationships with staff, and the pervasive dedication to service and compassion that extends through every part of living here.”

As a continuing care retirement community (CCRC), The Evergreens offers more than just maintenance-free living today. It also provides long-term comfort and security. And with Acts Life Care ® residents know they’ll pay for future care in today’s dollars should their needs change.

These days, Elliott can often be found helping his friends edit their photos, as they capture all the picture-perfect moments of the good life at the evergreens. Find out how you can zoom in on a retirement you’ll love. Visit The Evergreens today. (856) 372-5819, AboutActs.com/ Sun
