At Ann’s Choice, an Erickson retirement community in Bucks County, Pa., just about every resident has his or her own reason for moving in. For some it’s because the community is located near their family. For others it’s to have access to the amenities or the topnotch medical facilities. Still others just love living on the beautiful campus.

Howard Bishow says he has been a member of Socrates Circle for about eight months. “The name alone attracted me,” he says of the group that meets twice monthly at Ann’s Choice.
