"We toured Brookdale Cedar Springs. It was great. I was so excited at this point when they showed me everything. I was very excited. I think that the room itself is what kind of turned my mother off because it was like just one room. Then you put your bed in there in the living room and everything. She couldn't see herself living in a room, per se. I talked with the sales marketing guy, and he told me that they actually were making a bedroom separate from the living room. They had some rooms that were like that. He felt that he could help me out with that situation and possibly put her there, instead of putting her in a one room. I'm anxious to go and actually get to see that myself. Hopefully, I will be able to look at that room as well, in case mom was to change her mind. Basically one of the main reasons I liked it is convenience. She would be on Spring Avenue and would be close enough to me that if I went to town to Decatur every day, I would be able to visit her. I could take her anywhere she wanted to go. Plus, I like the fact that this community center does not care about you having a checking account. They just let you pay to live there in an apartment or something, and it's just very free. They're not going to take control of your savings accounts or checking accounts, and they don't care what you have. I liked that about the place. They have activities going all the time. You have a cafeteria that has hot lunch and supper each day. They have a beauty shop. I fixed my mom at my mom's house because she owned a beauty shop. I actually can fix her hair every day in that beauty shop, and they would have no obligations to that. There's a laundry room. You're able to use the laundry room each and every time that you want to. There are so many good things about it. There's outdoor patios and stuff. If you decided to go out and sit out on the patio, you could. It's a wonderful place. I feel like that would be the place I would choose. It's clean. They have the assistance and people that help see after you. They've got handrails on each hallway. If residents need help walking, they can hold on to the rail. It's just an extremely super place, and they've always got something going on with the holidays, bingo, and cards. That's an everyday thing if that's what you wish. I did not eat there, but I did get an idea of what they were having. They were fixing to serve lunch one day while I was there, and so I did see the residents sitting at the tables and they were being served. It's not something that you have to go through a cafeteria line. You sit down at the table, and they bring it to you."
