Almond Blossom East - 1 Budlee Court

Lynda

Almond Blossom East - 1 Budlee Court was very homey. It felt like someone's house with the big living room. I liked that there were only six residents. My mother would have been the sixth, if she had moved in. They all eat together at a round table. They had a big kitchen, a dining room, a living room, the bedrooms, and the bathrooms. It all looked really good. It looked very clean, and there was a nice outdoor area. They had the bathroom close to each bedroom. It looked really nice. The hallways were small, so there was not a lot of room for people with walkers and such. They said that they have activities. It seemed like they might have more staff to residents there. There were three or four staff members while I was there. It was a nice and new home. You had to bring your own furniture, which was difficult to me.

Almond Blossom East-1 Budlee Court was small. They're almost like converted houses. They have six residents in each house and the one I looked at was right on the corner. So, it's kind of on a busy street and there's just like a little bedroom and one window. I think my mom would have gotten good care there, but she might have just been so depressed because it just seemed limited. There wasn't anything outside. You couldn't go anywhere. There weren't any bathrooms in the rooms. You'd have to go outside in the bedroom to use the restroom. They can help them with bathing and grooming and they have some activities, so somebody else might do well there. Someone who has limited mobility.
