The "secret" is out about how great a city Ithaca is to live and retire in. The March 2005 issue of Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine listed Ithaca as one of the best places in the US to retire, based on three criteria:

Vacation cities with outdoor and recreational activities
Urban settings with easy transportation and high quality services
College towns with cultural and educational opportunities.


	In 1870, the Ladies Union Benevolent Society (LUBS) was formed to provide a secure homelike setting for older women. By the year 1876, through the generosity of Jane McGraw, "The Home" was built. From these roots and the commitment of LUBS came McGraw House, built in 1971 for both men and women.


	The mission of McGraw House is to provide a secure senior living environment which: supports and encourages independence provides privacy allows individuality welcomes diversity fosters a sense of community enhances the quality of life


	Some of the amenities available to our residents here at McGraw House include a full-time Service Coordinator to assist residents in obtaining necessary services as they age in place. We also have an in-house meal option, serving dinner every night (except Saturday), which can be purchased at very reasonable rates. Residents rave about the quality of the meals and the variety of choices. In addition, we feature special buffets and holiday meals, and always have high attendance at these events. Weekly teas are a nice treat and offer a chance to get to know your neighbors. The McGraw Times, our monthly newsletter, keeps residents informed of upcoming entertainment, events, weekly grocery trips, and news about the House.
