"Westmont of Riverside is a beautiful community surrounded by 55-plus housing, so it's a very normal neighborhood-like environment that you drive through to get to their facility. It had a nice little fountain in the front, lots of parking, and it was beautiful and quite lovely. We were late, we called them first, and they were very gracious about it. The lady who helped us was very professional. She was a little off-putting at first, but I think that's because we were so late and we were probably interrupting her schedule, but she got over it quickly enough. She was very pleasant and certainly knew what she was talking about. They had a lot of things for people to do. They have a lovely library that is huge. We also went by what she called an art room. It was dark, no one was in there at the time, so I don't know exactly what they had in there, but she said that is where they have painting and stuff. They also had a sort of thing like when you're in old high school and there are recesses in the wall with glass where awards go. They had those types of things, and they had celebratory seasonal things displayed there. It stands out because nobody else did it. They had what looked like a giant activities room where they played Bingo. She said they also had various things that went on there at that particular time; they were doing bingo. One standout thing there, and I can only give the very basics of it, is that they had an on-site doctor. You don't have to use the doctor, but in probably all the old people's cases, they're all going to have doctors, and if you move a distance, which my sister would be, she's going to have to find another doctor within her group. While she's looking for a doctor, they have an on-site doctor, so she could sign up with them. It doesn't have to, though; they were clear about that. Most of the things that these old people are going to have going wrong with them are colds and flu, and they need shots and basic stuff that a GP is efficient for. It's really convenient to be able to book a doctor right there on-site. You can also get your pharmacy needs there, which is also nice. You don't have to, it's clear, but you could. They also had transport there, where if your doctor was off-site and you booked an appointment, you could book transport with them to get to the appointment."
