I went to Mercy Retirement & Care Center. It was a much older building but was completely refurbished. It's very nice, and then we talked about their field trips and got a feel for what it was like living there. I saw the dining room, and what an apartment would look like. I thought it was very nice, and I thought that my friend would be happy there. She could only afford a studio, and it's not that big. It only has a microwave and a small refrigerator, but that's all she would need. It was just nicely done, and everything's fairly new. The rest of the facility looks very nice, and it has some outdoor space. There's an exercise room, a library, and computer rooms. She likes to read most of the time. She could find plenty of places to curl up with a book. That's her primary pleasure. The head of the sales department was named Butler. I've spoken to her several times, and I like her a lot. Miss Butler is very knowledgeable.

We went to Mercy Retirement & Care Center. When you're admitted, I guess technically they call it assisted living, but as you age in place and your faculties start to deteriorate further, they don't move you to a different unit. You stay right there in your place. It was pleasant, a little plainer than the other place. Everything that you would want was there. The cleanliness was absolutely fine. There was nothing that seemed untended, everything was attended to, taken care of. They had at least two large, lovely patios. They had these retaining walls with palm trees planted. It was a lovely outdoor space that blocked the traffic. You could not even tell there were cars running around the building on city streets. It was very well designed to give you a feeling of seclusion, but with the freedom of being outdoors. They were well-appointed. They had furniture out there to be comfortable in. I was impressed with their outdoor space compared to the other place we went to. The person who took us on the tour had asked about my aunt's activities, what she would be interested in, and of the things she mentioned, the only one that particularly caught my aunt's attention was singing. So the tour guide made our appointment at a time when we could go down and see the singing activity in progress, which I thought was very, very thoughtful of her. It wasn't as posh as the place. They just had new floors. It's made to look like wood.

Mercy Retirement & Care Center is very well-run. They have group activities. The place is bright, sunny, and not depressing. The staff is very professional. They have a very nice courtyard and they're also expanding. The only thing is they serve American food and my father would prefer Chinese food. They're also on the pricier side.

Mercy Retirement & Care Center is nice, bright, light, and airy. The rooms are nice, and they have regular religious services. They have a nice cafeteria where they have large gatherings. Every month, they have a special event with entertainment. The food was very good. It was a Cinco de Mayo celebration when I was there, and they had delicious Mexican food. The staff was very good.

Mercy Retirement was OK. The people were nice and extremely gracious. The staff members were very welcoming and even gave me a book about taking care of elderly parents. I wasn't thrilled with the actual facility because it was old and had a smell to it. It wasn't dirty nor dilapidated at all, just obviously old and outdated. Everyone there was lovely and seemed like they provide the same care as other places. They're just out of our price range. I saw their assisted living and memory care units, and they also have skilled nursing. They showed me some of their spaces for activities. One of the things they could improve on would be updating the furnishings and facility since it's been there for a long time.
