"I visited Brookdale Painted Post, and it was very lovely. The neat thing is that the residents had their own agency, so some of them had taken leadership roles doing different things. It was really lovely that everything seemed to be set up pretty nicely. There wasn't any little kitchenette in their individual places, so that would be one thing I know my mom would miss, but they had lovely libraries and meeting areas. They also have a big community kitchen that looked like something out of a fancy home. The residents seemed very happy. What I like about the place is the friendliness of the residents, the willingness to talk to them, the concern of the staff, and the fact that everybody knows each other. Even the people who were administrative were very comfortable interacting and speaking with people who were collecting the garbage. There seems to be a good thing of respect in the community, so that was really nice between all parties. Another thing would be that the residents can take part in whatever activities they want, and those who have interests may take leadership roles. One woman, I think she's spent 11 years there, had developed an exercise class that became a daily thing. She leads it every day, and anywhere from half a dozen to 18 people will show up each day to do their exercises. There's another person who leads a discussion group. It seemed like a lovely place. Everything seemed to be in pretty good shape, too. They have nice gardens outside, and give lots of attention to the landscaping. They were in the process of bringing things up to par, like renovating some of the rooms. If some people would move out, then they would start renovating the room to make it more upgraded and freshen it up. That's an ongoing process, so they're probably still working on that. We really did not have the opportunity to try their food, but the dining areas also looked lovely."
