visited this facility today. Toured with staff member. STaff was very friendly and facility was very nice. More services available with respect to medical services provided on site. Restaurant style dining. Small kitchenettes in each room - size of that depends on room size. usually @ 98% capacity so getting in might be harder. Physical therapy available on site. Elder daycare also available on site. Lots of extra charges as level of care required goes up - to be expected. This place was a little more expensive. Very clean and residents looked very happy. There is a bus for outings.

1st Assisted Living facility we visit...

1st Assisted Living facility we visited. It's located at the intersection of 2 very busy roads in Brentwood so lots of nearby traffic and some concern about residents walking out of parking lot into traffic. Entrance area is sort of like entering a 3 story high end hotel with concierge services, fresh juices & coffee, and an activities director leading entertaining activities for the residents in the large common areas. Awesome menu with multiple entrees to choose from in all 3 meals. Residents all knew and interacted with community manager during the tour. We watched an exercise class and participated in hang man game that was underway in the activities area. They have Wii game area and music/singing entertainment area. The rooms are very nice with nice entrance area that is decorated outside each door. They provide one touch pendents for instant help and there are 2 help buttons in every room. Feels a bit like living in a high end hotel because you take an elevator up to your rooms from the bottom floor area where all of the activities are held. There is also an activities area on each floor as well, but not as large. Unfortunately, you definitely pay more for this level of comfort, care, and entertainment.
