I toured Silvercrest at Deer Creek Retirement Community. What I liked best was that they had a room large enough that my aunt and my mother could live together. I liked that the room cost was very reasonable. I liked that they had a point system for their care versus throwing everybody into a pool of level one, level two, level three. Those levels are very ambiguous, whereas, at Silvercrest, it was pretty explicit. So I appreciate that very much, and I also know how much I’m paying per point, another big benefit. The place or the building itself, the outside was very lovely. It seemed all clean. There was nice landscaping in the front where the apartments I looked at, there were large windows, and they were looking out to nature. My mom and my aunt are very much into having green space. They love to watch animals and birds. So that was a very big thing to me. In the hallways, I think they had done some painting, and there wasn’t a lot of artwork or anything on the walls, it was very sporadic, and I asked the person who was showing us around, I said, "Why is there nothing on the walls? " And as soon as I said that and I came across a picture, and she told me the reason why, she said, " Our maintenance just hasn’t gotten it back up." And then I said to her and I was serious, but I said it nicely. I said, " Well, you just let the maintenance know that this customer or this person who’s walking through the building noticed, and you need to put things back up on the walls. " People don’t want to look at a blank wall, I don’t think".
I only spoke with one person, but she has been very accommodating. I think the first time I talked to her was last Wednesday. Since then, I have talked to her at least six times. Any time I have called and left a message, she’s called me right back. She has answered all my questions. She has explained things very thoroughly. It’s just been very interactive.
