"I chose Atria Briarcliff Manor mostly because you could start as independent, and then you could go into assisted living as you need it. What I liked the most is that the staff has been there for a long time, and they knew all the people who were there. You go into the dining room, and the waiters know exactly what you want, and they are willing to make something else for you if you want it. It was very personal. I would have liked the apartment to be a little bit bigger, but they're saying they don't want you hanging out in the apartment. They want you to take advantage of the activities they have. They do everything for you, three meals a day, your laundry, make your bed every day, they clean the place, you have very little to do on your own. The staff was very accommodating. They knew everybody by name, and they knew all about you. I had lunch there, and they provided me with two other women to have lunch with, so I could talk to them about everything I wanted. The women were very accommodating. I can also have my car there as long as I'm able to drive. They'll take me to any place I want within 15 miles. I can walk into town, but they'll drive me into town. There's a big recreational facility right next door. They'll drive me over there also. They had a lot of chicken salads and stuff like that. They have shrimp cocktail. You could have other sandwiches. I ended up having a turkey and Swiss cheese sandwich. It was so big I couldn't even finish it. The people were saying, "Make sure you have dessert". If it were something you wanted, they'd make sure you got it. The condition of the apartment, even though it was small, was excellent. They clean it, and they make your bed for you every day if you want it. They would do your laundry. They're all done, folded beautifully, just like you would get if you were in a store. Your garbage is done every day. They have a very good medical facility. A doctor comes in twice a week, and there is a nurse there all the time. They do a lot of activities. They said if you want to play cards and you can get a group going, that's fine. They even had coffee and snacks available. It's very up-to-date. I would highly recommend it. They wanted me to sign by Memorial Day that weekend. I said I didn't want to go in until maybe August. What they ended up doing was they said if you pay by Memorial Day, one month and one day, they'd give me the month of July free, and then they'd waive the maintenance fee. My family was very happy because if you had to go to a different level of care, you could still stay in the room you were in. There were like five different levels of what they would provide. People would just come into your apartment, and then they would charge you according to what level of care they think you needed."
