"Longview’s close connection with Ithaca College inspires me to be a lifelong learner – and teacher – all at the same time. Whether I’m enrolled in a class at IC or part of an intergenerational program at Longview, staying connected with young people creates energy, curiosity, and fun that’s unlike any other place I’ve lived."
Allen Minsky
"Since graduating from Cornell, I’ve lived and worked in Ithaca several times. Two of my children are here, so Longview is an ideal solution for me. My neighbors and the staff are so friendly and nice. I have a never-ending list of things to learn and do here."
Sunny Kuskin
"Longview has been a wonderful adventure for our family. When suddenly a stroke changed our family's lives during the pandemic, good friends raved about Ithaca College's Center for Life Skills, a multi-dimensional course held during the academic year at Longview."
"Our LV resident goes by wheelchair every day to whatever activity attracts him on the Daily Events Calendar. He explores the seemingly endless opportunities without fear of getting lost. He proudly states, 'I never worry. Everyone here is kind and will help lead me to where I want to go...I'm surrounded by friends.' When we go through the building, a cook or a receptionist, an instructor or an aide will greet our loved one by his name."

"We’ve been very fortunate. With my back issues, it’s been a perfect set up in terms of no stairs, maneuverable for those of us with physical limitations."
