"I went to Alexis Estates Gracious Retirement Living, and I liked them. Everybody was gracious. Everybody was more than willing to help me make a decision. They were willing to do an unofficial hold and it was basically about two weeks. The room was beautiful. Windows were all down to one side, so there was plenty of light. I could imagine the room without the little den because the den was really small. The rooms were large. Overall, there were many windows in there that when you came in like in the big dining area, it was all bright and sunshiny. There's lots of light. There was no gloomy look to it at all. There was a little library with tables to do puzzles. They had crossword puzzles and puzzles on tables, then all the books and stuff. They had several different gaming rooms. I didn't get to the crafts room at all, but they did crafts and bingo. They had lots of activities outside of the building, more than just shopping trips. When I got there, it was Chuckwagon Week, and then it was John Wayne movies, and they had John Wayne cut-outs. They were having their Octoberfest with pumpkins and all kinds of little stuff. They had sewing, knitting, crocheting, and boardgames. They had a lot of activities outside like trips down to the square. My mother goes in spurts. She likes the quiet and she does needlework, and then on certain days, she was out and about. She has certain days she wants to go shop for her knacks, and while she wouldn't have to go shop for food when she could go get her snacks. If my mother had a problem like she needed help with her socks, there was somebody in independent living that could help her with little things. The staff who toured me was very, very informative, very caring, and very understanding about my time. In the limited amount of time I had, they were more than willing to accommodate me. If I needed to come back and do another rush visit. All I have to do was give them a call and they make certain that there would be someone who could help me when I got there. I like it a lot. They had court areas. They told me about their gardening area where some of the people could do gardening. They could do vegetable gardening and they could do flower gardening. So that was another plus for me. "
