"I toured Wingate Residences at Silver Lake. The site itself is gorgeous, the facilities were clean, they were upbeat, very pretty, and it didn't have an institutional feel to it. The young woman who took me on the tour, Andrea, was comprehensive. She showed the different resources they have, and then I visited one of the single-bedroom units that would be something similar to what my husband would be living in, and it seems spacious enough. Everything's a downsize from when you have gone from a private home to an assisted living situation, but he doesn't need that much space, and it just seems like all of the concerns were addressed in terms of the 24-hour availability of staff and also sort of encouraging him to become more social. They had some positive reinforcement for getting out of your room and going out to have meals with the other residents, so you don't become a recluse in a new place. So, I really liked that. It was around lunchtime, so the residents were in the different dining spaces. I also saw that they had entertainment rooms. Some of them were more geared to if your grandchildren came to visit. There was a pool table or a foosball table available. There were also locations for the residents to sit and play cards together or socialize together. There were outdoor spaces for those people who are interested in gardening. It was set up so that it would be accessible to people who have physical limitations at this point in their lives. And so just the amenities, the thoughtfulness, the friendliness of all of the staff that I met seemed so sincere, and the physical therapy facilities that are on site seemed appropriate. I saw the menu and I saw options, and it seems like there would be something for a very picky eater such as my husband, and maybe he'd become more adventurous over time. But it seems that there would be food for all three meals that he would be able to make a choice that would satisfy him."
