In the hustle and bustle of being
one of thousands of commuters w ho
travel up and down Maplewood
Avenue each day on your way to
doctor appointments, you might not
notice Moore's Retirement Home
Inc.. the newly-opened, stone-facade
.retirement home nestled awav on a
tranquil lot in the medical district.
And as > ou walk along the

few steps and hear the mellow
reu'rb or the chiming doorbell. u>u~
forget the surrounding neighbor
hood and get the impression >ou are
visiting a home as warm as your
grandmother's.
Gearldine Moore said that after
looking at a house in the Re\nolds
Park area, she decided it was too
small. She looked at the Maplewood
house last October and decided she
liked it better.
When 1 looked at this one. I
said This is the place, she said.
But she said tinding the right
house was the eas\ part The next
question was how were the\ going
t^ handle two mortgage payments.
To 'make matters worse, her
husband had been laid off, so the
Moore s had to rel> on her sole
income.
1 just didn't see how I was
going to do it. slu said ? I was
. 1
already paying for the house where
we live. I thought, well, these peo
ple want to sell it. There's no other
way. It s tough. But how we did it. I
don t "know, "
fully licensed by the state and has
the capacity to house four residents
in private rooms and two more in a
semiprivate room.
The 5,880 square-foot house is
as cozy as your own home and has
two full baths, a living room,
kitchen, formal, dining room, laun
dry room, activity room and a busi
ness office on the main level. The
upper level is not yet furnished, but
the Moores said they have the
option of using the area that has a
finished half-bath and enough room
for more bedrooms for employee
quarters.
Owning their own retirement
home has been a dream of the
Moores for years.
Herbert Moore said he wanted
to open a retirement home 16 years
ago. He said stashing away money
in a savings account over the years
has helped make that dream come
true.
"When I was unemployed, if I
tract northed to sav^ something, we
might not have been here," he said.
"If you go into business and get a
business loan, you still have to have
something saved."
Gearldine Moore is well quali
fied for working with the elderly.
She has been a nurse for 28 years,
and a geriatrics nurse for 14 years
for Carolina Medicorp Inc. at Knoll
wood Hall Nursing Home, where
she currently works with 50
Alzheimer's disease patients.
The Moores said they are
equipped to handle any elderly
patients who are able to walk and
are not completely bedridden.
The home also offers at least 10
hours a week of physical activity for
its residents. The Moores plan to
take the residents on field trips when
the whether is warmer.
Gearldine Moore and her husband, the Rev. Herbert L. Moore have ful
filled their dream of establishing their own retirement home.
Gearldine Moore is the home's add at least two full-time staffers on
president and administrator; Herbert each of the three shifts to attend to
Moore is the vice president; and residents in addition to other staffers
their son. Darryl Moore, is the book
keeper and treasurer. They plan to fiesT

\orth Carolina Youth Legislature last weekend in Raleigh with Michael 4.
Mclntyre, youth program director of the Winston lake Family YMCA.
Winston Lake YMCA Youth Attend Legislature
*
Youth from the Winston Lake
1 Family YMCA's "Youth N Govern
ment Program" participated in the
first "YMCAs of North Carolina
Youth Legislature March 3-6.
Michael A. Mclntyre, youth
program director at the Winston
Lake Y. along with students Samuel
Walker and Eli Beaty, represented
the Y in the legislature held at the
state capital. For four days, youth
from throughout the state gathered
to cam on the task of writing bills,
discussing those bills in committee,
defending those bills on the floor of
the Senate and the House, and
deciding which bills would become
law.
"This was a fantastic experi
ence for the youth," Mclntyre said.
"It gave them a first-hand look at
how our state government really
works. It more importantly gave
them a very positive forum to
express their concerns and issues
while giving them practical training
on how to articulate those issues and
concerns both in written form as
well as verbally."
"This was an experience that
we enjoyed tremendously," said
both Walker and Beaty. "It was both
fun and quite a learning experience,
and we both would highly recom
mend it to all students."
Walker said the most enjoyable
part of the legislature was the debat
ing."
. "I really enjoyed the exchang
ing of viewpoints. TTiis gave me the
opportunity to go up against some
very bright students." he said.
For Beaty, it was getting to
learn about the concerns of other
students from around the state that
was most enjoyable.
"The legislature gave me the
opportunity to meet and talk with
my peers from around the state of
North Carolina, and although we
come from different geographical
locations, most youth share the same
concerns."
Walker, a lOth-grader at Glenn
High School, and Beaty, a 9th
grader at North Forsyth High
School, both plan to be a part of the
program until graduation.
The YMCAs of North Carolina
plan make the legislature an
annual event held in March.
Mclntyre indicated that the
YMCA was forming a "Youth 'N
Government" club at the YMCA,
where emphasis would be the lead
ership development of high school
youth. One pat of participation
would be attending the annual youth
legislature. Any youth interested in
becoming a part of the "Youth 'N
Government" club should contact
Michael Mclntyre at 724-9205.
