Laughter is often the sound heard resonating from the halls of this beautiful home. The four women, who live here, Courtney, Cheryl, Maureen and Tara, know how to have a good time, whether it’s playing games, watching television, eating dinner or just enjoying each other’s company.

According to House Manager, Buffy James, they are all like sisters and they look out for each other. “It’s wonderful to see them interact with each other,” she says.
