Enter with caution. This place, being a low income Apartment Independent living establishment is very different from any other place you might be use to or expect it might be. Alot of folks that live here are nice. But there is far to many who make it their business to be in your business. Lots of talk about issues and complaints about the way this place is ran. Expect to pay 3,564 dollars (present cost) a year to eat in the dining area, which is mandatory. The food is not health food by any means. Institutional processed food at best. On your arrival, they will pick a seat out for you at a table for four. You won't know anything about the people you are to have three meals a day with. Hopefully you connect. Expect to be treated with pure disrespected from wait staff, curtain people scattered about you and constant coughing of those who neglect to cover their months. I say wait staff because they degrade you for not know the rules at the get go. Maybe you will be treated differently. You can not live here unless you pay for there Meal Program. Only folks in building 3 get out of paying for RMDC meals. You will get an ear full from alot of them about the place at first and you will see for yourself what I mean. Let me put it this way. Picture yourself in a restaurant, where everyone enters the doors mostly all at once. Your sever is slow, sometimes fifteen minutes goes by, you go to the salad bar and the dear 80 something year old coughs over all the fixing (I'm sure not on purpose) then you sit down and hear people near your table talking about other people in there, you try to cope with this atmosphere three times a day. Hope you get the picture. I'm not telling you to stay away. This place best fits elderly folks who can do very little for themselves or you just don't want to cook, buy , clean , ect, this may be your place. I've heard to much negative around here so it is in your best interest to keep to yourself. I repeat..it is in your best interest to keep to yourself. You might find a trusted friend, but watch out it is very click_ish. One more important complaint I have heard. The Kitchen staff will bring your meals to your room, knock, set your food on the flood in front of your door, maybe cake on top and walk away. I have seen a cat even wondering the halls. Enter with caution. Not for everyone. read more
