"I had just visited The Oaks at Brownsburg. It was nice and was clean. The lady I met with, Tammy was her name, she was very nice, very informative, and she told me all about the place. We went down and toured one of the one-bedroom apartments. They are on one single level, so there are no upstairs or downstairs. All of the units have doors to the outside and a little patio that you can use. However, it's a much more managed facility than I expected. For example, they provide three meals a day, so the kitchens and the apartments are very minimal. They don't even have an oven or a stove in the kitchen. They have a small refrigerator and a microwave oven, and that's it, and that's because they expect that you will eat in the cafeteria with everybody else since it's free. I'm not certain I'm ready for that kind of care. It's not high on my list of options right now merely because of the cost. It's the most expensive place I've checked out so far. It's almost $2000 a month for a one-bedroom apartment, and it doesn't even include a stove, so I'm a little concerned about that. They have a lot of amenities, and there's a lot going for it, but I work a full-time job, eight hours a day, five days a week, and so I'm not going to be eating lunches there. I'm going to be eating lunches at work. I'm probably not going to be eating breakfast there either because I got to leave early in the morning to get to work, and I'm probably not going to have time to go down to the cafeteria every morning for breakfast. So the most I would be doing is probably eating dinners there, and I just don't think that it's worth the extra cost for that amenity. If I was retired and I stayed home all the time, it might be a different matter, but I'm not retired yet, so I just don't think it's for me. It's a nice place. Like if my mom ever needed a place to go, I would recommend it, but it's right for me right now. The atmosphere was very nice. There was a bunch of people in the cafeteria eating, which is very nice. It was very clean, and it didn't have any smells. It was nice; I liked it. It's a nice place, just not for me. It's a great place for certain people, just not for me, not at this time in my life anywhere. The staff who gave me the tour was very nice. She answered all my questions. I liked her. The facility was beautiful. They even have a theater there and it was filled with these recliners and big screen TV that you could schedule to have family and friends over for. They have these living rooms where people can gather around a fire, and they have fireplaces. It was a nice, beautiful place. I just don't think it's right for me right now in my life."
