Gentry Park Bloomington

I went to Gentry, and it's brand new and super clean. However, it was too new in some ways. When building the place, they took down too many of the trees and plants, so it's a very bare piece of land. The person who showed me around was extremely helpful and informative. The cottages are extremely nice, but they're not really meant for one person or even a couple. Even though they said it's a 2-bedroom, the second bedroom was very tiny, and more for a person who would stay overnight. The rest of the rooms were enormous, it's wonderful, and easy to get around with a walker and a wheelchair. The amenities were brand new, very nice, but the people weren't engaged. They had guys sitting in the TV room watching a game together, the library was open, but there was nobody in there, and the art room looked like people used it earlier. I went in the dining hall, the food seemed to look and smell good, and people were eating, talking, and seemed happy about it. It was a more folksy environment.
