Golden Inn & Village in Santa Ynez honors own Class of 2016 with anniversary celebration

 
 

Nineteen residents at the Golden Inn & Village were thrown a graduation ceremony of their own Friday to mark five years since the housing facility opened its doors and welcomed the senior group.

The Golden Inn & Village — home to 62 low-income and very-low-income seniors — was established by the Rona Barrett Foundation in November 2016, also when the 19 original residents moved in. 

"We couldn't think of a better way to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the Golden Inn & Village than to honor the original residents who were here the day we opened our doors," said Rona Barrett, CEO and founder of The Rona Barrett Foundation.
