GenSmart Suite at Senterra is Making Life Easier for Veteran and His Family; New Homes in Lake Elsinore by Pardee Homes Priced from the High $300,000s

    LAKE ELSINORE, CA, September 15, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- As only one of just a few surviving veterans of three wars, Henry E. Felton has a lot to be proud of. His granddaughter, Jamie Truett, is not only proud but devoted to her distinguished grandfather, who received numerous commendations including a Citation from the President of the United States and Secretary of the Navy for extraordinary heroism at Iwo Jima in World War II. Felton's 30-year United States Marine Corps career also took him to Korea and Vietnam. Truett's devotion to Felton is evident in her desire to make his life easier by bringing him to live with her young family in a new home at Pardee Homes' Senterra in Lake Elsinore.

Truett started advocating for her grandfather on a regular basis about 18 months ago by constantly checking in on him at a nearby senior care facility then caring for him full time after a recent hospital stay. "I wanted to get him out of his current situation and into our home but was anxious about finding the right solution," said Jamie. "I knew he needed family around so we considered expanding our home in Menifee until we discovered Senterra. The idea of owning a home with a GenSmart Suite with its own entrance and spaces for living, sleeping and eating was the perfect solution. At 94, Henry needs a little assistance with everyday life. With the GenSmart Suite he will have his own quiet space, away from the hustle and bustle of my active young children, yet he is just steps away. My ultimate goal is to make him happy and at home and our new home is just what we wanted and needed."

Felton, who served our country as a Master Gunnery Sergeant, has many historic stories from his military career and generously shares them with visitors, including one about the odds he overcame after exposure to Agent Orange during time served in Vietnam. "I was told I'd be in a wheel chair the rest of my life and then told I wouldn't live past September when I retired in August 1970," said Felton. "Now I can't wait to get settled into our new home and am looking forward to Jamie learning how to cook for me."
