"I visited the assisted living place of Ambassador Garden in Reseda. It's behind the post office, and I drove around for 20 minutes trying to find that place. It's a much larger place than the other ones I visited. The person who gave me the tour was the owner. She's had it for 35 years or maybe more, and she was very personable and funny. I found the place and got in and went to the reception desk, and they said the owner was coming. I had to park on the street, and I had money in the parking meter. That was the thing with that place. The woman at the desk said, I can park out there in the yellow zone. The lady owner came, she thanked me for waiting, and we went into her office, and I looked around a little bit. She showed me a couple of rooms that were kind of under construction. They were in the facility, but they were being refurbished and upgraded, so I didn't get a really good feel for how they would be. They were a little larger than those cracker box rooms that I saw in the other facility, but I wasn't impressed. We went back, and she sat in her office, and she said to tell her about the place that my friend is currently in, so I did. The place my friend was in had a point system for add-on things, like laundry was 10 points, and assisting from the bedroom down to the dining room was like 30 points. So I asked her what the laundry would be in her facility, and she said it's included. I asked about escorting residents to the dining room, and she said that was also included, and we just laughed about that. She was very nice. When I entered the entryway, off to that was a large lounge area, and that's all I saw. Out in the back, I could see people moving around. It looked nice from the street, but it's behind the post office, with lots of traffic, and also lots of trash. I would have paid somebody just to keep the street clean in front of that place because it did not look very inviting."
