B'NAI B'RITH II

James

My mom used to live in B'Nai B'Rith Apartments for ten years. It was convenient. She was able to get two meals a day, breakfast and dinner if she needed. On weekends, it is on their own for their meals, but there are meals offered Monday through Friday at the cafeteria. Entertainment would come in to entertain the seniors and they have different events, like bingo, they would go over to Iowa for a day to gamble or go somewhere down St. Louis for the day on trips. They had outings, they would go to Wal-Mart like three times a week and they would do Kroger's about three times a week, different things like that. The ones that didn't drive had a chance to go out and shop for themselves. The staff was fairly friendly and answered any questions or concerns. My mom had no problems with the maintenance or anyone in the office or even the kitchen staff. It's nothing like that. Everything was good. I think on Tuesdays and Saturdays they had bingo, and you could win tickets for the little gift shop. A few canned goods, toiletries, stuff like that, candy, soda, stuff like that and has its own laundry facility. I only eat breakfast with my mom. They were really good. The food was all freshly prepared. How everyone wanted their eggs, bacon, sausage, it was always cooked for you.
