Robert H. Jenkins Jr. Veterans' Domiciliary Home

My dad has moved to the Robert H. Jenkins Jr. Veterans' Domiciliary Home and it's been great. It's a state-run facility, if you're looking for a place that's strictly for veterans, it's a great place. They take really good care of the vets there and my father has fit in well there. He's gotten more interaction at this place than he had when living in his condo by himself. In there, he actually runs movie nights. There are a lot of activities there, they take them out, and they go places and do different stuff for the veterans. There's a lot of freedom from the veterans that live there, it's a nice place. I feel that my dad has improved his quality of living since going there. They also do a church thing during the week, they have a church group, they have activities with board games, some people were building models there, sometimes they take them out to see a movie, and sometimes they go on day trips. Once, they took them on a day trip to Saint Augustine to see the old Spanish fort there. They took them on other day trips, they do activities and little adventures like that. They have a calendar that they put out each month with their plan for doing things, so it's pretty neat. They have a gym, they have paths outside, and a big courtyard you could walk around outside. Then they have laundry facilities and you can also do your laundry, and the machines are free, you don't have to pay for the bleach and stuff. You just put your clothes in the machine and press a button, and it dispenses the bleach and soap for you, so you don't have to do anything. The value is worth what you pay.
