The town of Halstead is a quaint little place. The elderly have a little community in the Halstead housing authority. Each person gets a little apartment with amenities like a laundry room and share a clubhouse. A friend of mine lives there. She enjoys the friendship with others in her little area. The entryway to her unit has a little fence and flat porch area so she can walk without climbing stairs. The threshold is also flat so someone with a walker or wheelchair has no problems. The little duplexes are comfortable and cozy. She has had two birthday parties in the clubhouse. During the week, there are card games, exercise equipment and a quilting and craft room. It's a nice place to retire in. read more
