A Life of Service: How Claire Built Community—and Found a New One at Arbor Terrace

On this episode of The Golden Gang, Community Sales Director Amanda sits down with Resident Ambassador Claire of Arbor Terrace Morris Plains. Claire shares her remarkable path from raising five sons to a decades-long career in public service—recreation director, welfare director, and eventually director of human services—where she championed seniors with programs that brought thousands together. She also reflects on choosing assisted living after her husband passed, staying active with family and friends, and why Arbor Terrace fits her lifestyle today.
