Senior Living Options
A community that’s full of life, service, and spirit.
The Timbers of Shorewood began with the vision of two military veterans who wanted to create active retirement living in a community that would stand apart from others in both service and spirit. That vision and their experience of more than thirty years with senior communities served as the foundation in developing The Timbers of Shorewood, an exceptional senior community in an ideal setting.
