Everyone here has been welcoming and friendly, and there are lots of activities -- classes, trips, a great pool, a hiking group, library, etc. and several places to share meals, to keep us mentally, physically, and socially involved (all planned with pandemic precautions in place). But best of all is the peace of mind we have knowing that whatever happens with our health, there are facilities here that can care for us in the future.

He worked in the Obama administration and also was probably (nobody knows) fired for insubordination by Obama! He's almost as old as this crowd was. Pretty good and fast lecture. As a young guest, I didn't feel that comfortable asking questions. But most of mine were asked by some other old folks. I'm glad I came to the event! The event space was appropriately large and it was filled.

They offer residents a full cafeteria and there are plenty of games and books around the facility. There is also a brand new library that opened in early 2014. If you want to be a resident you'd better get on a waiting list as I've heard the waiting list is about 10 years. It is well worth it in my opinion.

Our Board of Directors, CEO, Finance Officer, Marketing etc are not able to adequately answer what I consider a reasonable question. Here it is and I've been asking this question for the past 2-3 years and other residence have expressed the same frustration over the same issue long before I got here. "How are our Monthly Fees determined"? What elements/cost factors make up a determination to charge a particular monthly fee (which increases every year)? All we get is "it's complicated." Or some vague well it's, not just square footage, it's other things but they cannot, or chose not, to delineated those factors. Worse yet, if they don't know, we need someone else handling our management. We pay our CEO very handsomely ($250K annually) and to not be able to tell the people paying his salary how they are being billed is unconscionable to me and causes questions about handling of funds. Before signing to live here, I asked the same question and still couldn't get an answer and if I declined to sign, they would just go to the next person on a long waiting list. I had already waited 5 years. So even though I signed, I felt I had not choice if I wanted to live here. Maybe you can get an answer! If so, please Post and advertise.

The turn over of Nurses and Certified Nursing Assistants (C.N.A.) is overwhelming and never been seen at our facility before! They need a change from top down and do something to attract and retain staff. A sign-on bonus and retention bonus would be a start. Along with shift differentials for staff working 2nd & 3rd shifts. This is becoming too stressful for current staff having to work extra hours to fill in for vacancies. We've even had to bring in Agency Nurses for coverage. Something we've never done before here at GR.
