"Whaler's Cove Assisted Living was a great place. It's beautiful. It used to be a department store a long time ago. It's very beautiful inside, and it's got elevators to everywhere. You bring your own furniture and you decorate your apartment the way you want it to be. It's kind of an extension of where you came from. It's a little expensive. One of the things that I thought was good is that they have a sliding scale and you can kind of negotiate the prices depending on what your needs are. The staff during the tour was terrific. She explained everything. She showed me everything. She introduced me to one of the residents so that we could get to see an apartment. I think the bedrooms in those apartments are bigger than my bedroom at home. It was a busy day for them. She had some things going on in the auditorium that she had to be at, so there wasn't time to do anything like eat there. It looked very clean. There's a big reception area when you go in the front door. It was very quiet there, except people were going up and down the elevators. It was a Saturday when I went there, so some of them were probably going off to spend some time with family and stuff like that. They have a lot of activities there. They have a big auditorium that shows movies and a full-size movie screen like you'd see in a theater. They have a library. They have a lot of good things. One of the things that impressed me about it is the fact that it's a very active community."
