Even Beadle, the more introverted of the three, finds plenty of activities to satisfy her own interests. “I love to take language courses here. And it’s so easy to just go downstairs with my husband and watch a movie. There’s so much to do all day long; we really stay busy,” she says.

Finding free time
With so much to do, they say they often look forward to a free day. But even as such an active threesome, they say they still find time to themselves.

“We like to walk around the campus outside,” Cook says. “It’s about a mile, and you’re safe. It’s very quiet and peaceful.”

In fact, the three try to fit in fitness whenever they can. “Because we live across campus, we often come to lunch in the Tides Café as a way to force us to walk over and back,” Hann says.

Besides walking, Hann and Cook accompany each other to the Fitness Center, and Cook also likes to relax with a few laps in the pool. When they truly want to relax, though, they find peace and quiet in their own homes.

“Before I came, the one thing I worried about was my privacy,” Beadle says. “But it’s very private in your home. Then when you go out you have all these people around who care about you.”

Feeling of family
The caring nature of their community is one of the aspects the three sisters like most about living at Seabrook. “There is a feeling of family here, not just my sisters, but every one else,” Beadle says.

“When my husband was in the hospital, everyone cared. When Pat’s cat was sick, everyone would come up to me and ask how the cat was doing. And every holiday they really make it special,” she says.

Even Hann’s daughter, who lives nearby, has joined the Seabrook family and found something that sparks her interest. She began attending the French Conversation Society in October and now joins the group at every meeting.

“There are so many options of things to do; living here is like living at a college campus for people our age,” Cook says. “And even though we have each other for companionship, we’ve met some really nice people and made a wonderful group of friends to do things with as well.”
