THE ERICKSON TRIBUNE

For the past year Heidi Ryder, who’s a member of Ann’s Choice transportation department, has enjoyed getting to know what she likes to call “the amazing residents” of this bustling Bucks County community.

“I started here last September and I’m continually inspired by the people who live here at Ann’s Choice,” says Heidi. “They are some of the most active, enthusiastic people I’ve ever met.”

Heidi and her husband, Bill, discovered that first-hand when they accompanied 30 residents on a 10-day tour of the Canadian Rockies this past May.

“It was a pretty hectic schedule,” says Heidi. “We stayed in different hotels almost every night and our mode of  transportation was almost everything you can imagine in order to really experience the beautiful scenery.”

That included seeing the Canadian Rockies via the Mountaineer Rail Line, a seaplane, a helicopter, a ferry, a gondola, a lake boat, and even white water rafting.

Beauty You Can’t Beat
“We visited so many beautiful places, we’ll never forget it,” says Heidi. “The white-water rafting may have been one of the most exciting. These were real rapids, but everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves.  Lots of people also like Victoria Island and Chateau Lake Louise.”

“When I moved here didn’t know anyone. I had no idea they had these kinds of extended trips,” says Audrey Rheiner, who has traveled to a number of great destinations with Ann’s Choice. “You never have to worry about your home while you’re gone. Plus, Ann’s Choice handles all the details of the trip. You don’t have to worry about making arrangements, you just enjoy yourself.”

And in case there’s ever a medical emergency while traveling with Ann’s Choice, doctors far and wide can contact the  community’s medical staff and get up-to-date medical information through Centricity, the community’s confidential electronic medical records system.
