Oldest living twins reach century mark at The Fountains

Americans are not only living longer, they are living better, thanks

to healthcare advances and the evolution of supportive living

environments which, by design, help people age well. That’s the

message that The Fountains hopes America will wake up to on March 5,

2003. On that day, Maggie White and Pat Taylor -- the oldest

identical twins living in the United States -- will celebrate their

100th birthday! The odds for twins born in 1903 to live to see their

100th birthday are said to be 1 in 700 million.

The Fountains operates 20 retirement communities in 14 states.

They specialize in creating stimulating environments that support

people in their quest for lifelong well being. The Arizona-based

company was named Business of the Year by the American Society on

Aging in 1996, the same year they opened the Fountains at Sea Bluffs

in Dana Point, where Pat and Maggie reside. The Dana Point community

was recently honored with two Best of Seniors’ Housing Design Awards

for its assisted living and memory care residences called The Inn and

The Gardens, respectively.

The Fountains, together with Pat and Maggie’s family, have planned

a suitable celebration for the famous sisters, who look forward to

their big day.
