Located in West Wareham, Mass., the average age of the residents is mid-70s. The community was awarded $1,400 to build a ramp at the front door of the community office to aid all Members of the community and bring it up to Americans with Disabilities Act compliance. This ramp provides residents and guests access to the community office.
