"We went to 10 Wilmington Place. It was a much older, traditional style of place. It looked like it has been around for a good while, but it has an old-world kind of charm to it. It was really large with four levels in floors and traditional styling, like an old mansion kind of place. The staff was great; she even let my aunt use a scooter. It was much larger, so it was a lot of walking, and we had a lot of distance to cover in terms of looking at the models that she was showing us. It was nice to let my eighty-eight-year-old aunt ride on a scooter, and she even got to learn how to drive it, which was helpful. The dining area is fine, but we didn't get to eat there. It was on a Sunday, so we got to meet another lady who was waiting for the church service to begin, and she has been there for a couple of years. She said she loved it. We got to see a place in the process of being redone. I guess somebody had been in that unit, and they were gone, so they were fixing it up for the next person. Then we got to see one that was already fixed up, so we got to see one in both stages, and it looked really nice. When they redo a unit they rip out carpets, and they put in new appliances, flooring, and everything. The showers are great because you don't have to worry about stepping in a tub or falling; they were like walk-in, sit-down kinds of showers. It was lovely, and considering how old the place looked, it was still up to date inside each unit we looked at. They have activities on the whole floor, like the lower level -- it's like a mall inside the facility. They had movies, game rooms, a place for you to get your hair done, a gym, and a little coffee shop. It wasn't as active as it used to be because of COVID. They had a pub, too, with a TV to watch sports or whatever; it was almost really like a mall on the lower level. There were empty rooms where you could invite family to have a get-together. They can either order food in, or you could bring your own potluck kind of thing. They had rooms where you can read, kind of like library rooms, and they had rooms where you can play cards. Unfortunately, it was too expensive. I wouldn't mind living in a place like that when the time comes. "
