Life at Highgate
These days, Jerry takes the Highgate transport van to coffee with friends on Tuesdays.

In between, he’s attending Resident Council meetings, playing games with his neighbors, and even doing arts and crafts.
“My life has been pretty good since I moved to Highgate,” says the 92-year-old. “I don’t feel lonely anymore.”
