"My friend and I used to live in Sable Lodge Retirement Community. The food there was terrific. We had three meals a day in a buffet-style. You would get down and get in the buffet line, which went very quickly, and the food was ample. There were no restrictions. They had a separate salad and soup bar. That was very good. The soup was controlled by thermostatic pots. There were two pots with two different soups every day, at noon and night. If you want something that they didn't have at the serving bar, like a hamburger, they would make it for you right then and there and serve it to you at your table. If you wanted French fries with it, you would get them, and the French fries would burn your mouth because they were right out of the hot pan. So, their food service was very good. Our apartment was wonderful. We had a two-bedroom apartment. It had a full kitchen, a range, a microwave, a garbage disposal, and a dishwasher. We had two beds, two baths, a walk-in closet in each bedroom, and a personal wall safe in one of the bedrooms. From our window, the grounds looked like a golf course. The landscaping people did a tremendous job with it. It's independent living, but they have medical assistance that will come in, which is paid for by you and employed by you. We would get different managers, and they were very good managers. We had a very busy activity director. I don't think they do enough competitively, like games, but they have the typical poker night, they play Bridge, Mahjong, and those games. It's only once a week, but that's pretty well attended. They also had a happy hour there, and it was very good."
