I visited Thirwood Place. We liked everything. We just weren't ready to make a move like that. If and when we decide to do it, and it might not be for a few more years, that would probably be our first choice. We only dealt with one person, we found that very strange. We saw no people the whole time, and we were there for 2 hours. We were very impressed with the facility. The only person we dealt with was the guide. We looked at one apartment that we like in the separate buildings. Everything was very nice. We saw the library, the weight room, and everything there was. We were very impressed with it. We saw a beauty shop, a little cafe, a big dining room, the pool area, and a gymnasium. Everything was closed. It wasn't anybody using anything, but it was all very nice, very clean, and very appealing, but deserted. They do have a bus that would take you anywhere. They have entertainment come in a lot. They also have access to a golf course, and they'll take it to the beach. They'll take you anywhere you want to go. They offer everything, you have laundry services, and maid service. Everything is taken care of for you.

Thirwood Place was very nice and very well kept up. The living facilities that they showed me, the one and two-bedroom units, were beautiful. The dining options were just phenomenal. There are lots of activities, but I didn't see many people. I was wondering when I got through and I saw, "Where was everybody?" They've got swimming, arts and crafts, and woodworking, but there was nobody doing anything. Maybe there's one person in the pool and I think three people were doing an aerobics class or some sort of healthy activity. I thought for a place that large, there should be more people roaming around or doing something because I'm pretty active. I like to be out and about doing things. That was the only thing that bothered me was the lack of seeing people, I thought there should be more people out and about, but the location was good and the facility itself was beautiful. The tour was excellent.

I visited Thirwood Place and I didn't want to come home. I wanted to stay there forever. I went there because I have friends that lived there. To enter, you have to have a good deal more money than I have. It was expensive. But you get what you pay for and then some. Anybody who can afford it, I can't say enough about Thirwood. My friends have been trying to get me to move there for years. They've been in independent living there for two years. I had dinner there twice. With their plan for independent living, they get dinner every night. But you have the choice of having dinner every night or, for slightly less, just 16 meals a month. My friends were having lunch in a cafe there and you only have to pay like $4.50 to get lunch. That was good and the food was fine. They have a heated indoor swimming pool for everybody. There are trails, a forest, and a lake. My friends have picture windows that overlook this bit of forest and the lake. I would say they have a very wide variety of activities. You probably couldn't do better. They say it's expensive, but you get what you pay for. It's worth it. Every room has a way to call for help if you need it. Every morning, between eight and ten, you get a phone call, and if you don't respond, someone comes to your room. Which is important if something happens to you. There are lots of common areas that are beautifully appointed. There's even a piano in some of them. There's quite a variety of plans. They have the more expensive and larger units that are in places called the village, which are separate buildings from the main building. My friends are in one of those. They have a 2-bedroom, 2-bath unit. The units have either a balcony or a patio. They also have a golf course, and you can get transportation if you need to go to a drug drugstore to pick up prescriptions or something like that. Then there are other occasions where you can get transportation to things if you can't drive. Plus, they have tours. My friends had just been on a tour to a cranberry bog where they learned all about cranberries. I would be getting all my breakfasts and lunches, and I'm always looking for organic foods, and they're not too far away from Hyannis. There's every kind of shopping you can imagine, and people want to go there. It's just a beautiful area and a beautiful setting. Every place you drive is beautiful along the way. It's just a wonderful place.

I toured Thirwood Place' s independent living. I saw that they also have something that were like condos. The place is older but they have more than you could ever want. It's huge and they have everything like a gym, they do arts and movies. The guy who assisted me was very nice too. The only thing that is confusing to me is that you have to give them money upfront, and I don't understand what it's for. I don't understand how that worked and it was confusing. The room I saw was a 2-bedroom with two baths. It had a walk-in closet, and it was large and a good size.

I was living in Thirwood Place in a small one-bedroom unit. The bathrooms and shower were all good, and they were large enough for me to take my wheelchair. All the units had their own washer and dryer. They had a great and very caring staff. If you hadn't checked in by 7:30 in the morning, they call you to see if you're OK. The staff was very, very good. On Cape Cod, you didn't have as many other nationalities involved in the caretaking. Anglo-Saxons were the main caretakers, and they're very lovely. I got the New York Times all the time, and they delivered it right tothe front door of my little apartment. There were three different little restaurant areas and they were open for lunch and dinner. For breakfast, you could go up to a bar and get your coffee, roll, eggs, or whatever you wanted. Dinner was provided in the amount that I paid. They had an indoor swimming pool, a gym room, and you could sign up for chair yoga and someone came in to help you with that. There were other activities like I used to paint and there was an artist room. If you wanted help with the painting once a week, they would do that. They did the laundry. Even though we had our own washer and dryer, they came in and changed the sheets and took the sheets away once a week, if you wanted that. It's a very attractive place to be. I only lived there a year. It's a bit expensive and you had to "buy-in," but you got your money back when you left. It was a great place to be.

I visited Thirwood Place for my father, and it was quite impressive. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I saw a two-bedroom in the assisted living portion, and it was very nice and clean. They showed me a one-bedroom as well, and some of the facilities there, but not all. We saw the courtyard and a pond. The place was very nice, with nice views, and nice people. It was well maintained.
