My dad has moved into Waterstone at the Circle. It's spacious, light, clean, and friendly. Everyone there has been so outgoing, very accommodating, and so kind. They want to help and reach out. They're doing the best they can. My dad is in a one-bedroom with big windows. It has a full kitchen. There is the bedroom, the closet, and the bath. The closet is so interesting. You walk through the closet to get to the bathroom, so the closet is on both sides. It has this nice corner that you can get straight to the bathroom. They have amazing amenities. They have a beautiful library. They have a bar, and they have a huge dining room with lots of lights. They have a craft room and a community room with a piano. They have a swimming pool, an exercise room, and a theater. They have a lounge on the fifth floor. The activities are great. The residents decide what activities they want, and they set them up. The other people that we talked to are very satisfied with the activities. It's such a welcoming place. It is very expensive, but I feel like they measure up to the expense. I don't feel bad about the expense because they're getting a lot. People stay there; they don't leave.
