This is an impressive place, bigger than many assisted-living type facilities, and with a lot going on inside.
There are two halves, for actual assisted-living and for more independent living. In the middle is a large social area; when I arrived there was a choir singing, with many residents enjoying the show. There are plenty of common areas and activities, including music, crafts, even a pool and hot tub. The dining areas are nice, and the food smelled great as I walked past. The menus have some standards plus daily specials.
The rooms vary from small studios to large multi-bedroom units. I saw one corner one-bedroom with a view of a nice pond, a balcony, and a large living room- would make a fancy apartment. Others were smaller, just like a hotel room, and others are larger. All are bright and open. As with other facilities, there is pretty much a sliding scale of care, from minimal to full. Cost vary accordingly. Again, as with others, this type of place is not cheap. But, you do get a lot for what you're paying.
The residents seem happy, and as active as they can be, or want to be. Plenty to do. A nice place to live. I hope I can afford someplace like this. Check your insurance and savings, and get long-term-care insurance, so you don't have to worry about it. read more
