"My mother-in-law moved into The Residence at Pearl Street 2 weeks ago. She is very comfortable and very happy there. So far, they're doing a nice job. It's a very beautiful and clean place. It was a former school, which they've done over. On the inside, they have a lot of really nice common areas with television or tables for playing cards. They have a big and beautiful dining room with sunny windows. They also have daily and weekly activities, including going shopping which they do once or twice a week. She's been able to attend church services. Right now, they're doing it televised in the residence. And then someone brings over communion for them, which is nice. She has a studio apartment with a full bathroom and a little kitchenette that has enough room for a table and two chairs, a 2-burner stove, a refrigerator, and a sink. She has a big common room that's large enough for her bed, a chair, a TV, and a big walk-in closet. They offer meals there - breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But she can make herself food if she wants to. They have a beauty salon and a library, and there are washers and dryers on site. Since it's assisted living, there is an attendant that comes by every day if you need someone to help you with your medication. They bring people in to do various things like music. My mother-in-law was telling me that they had someone playing the piano and they were playing music from the 40s and 50s. She says the food is good, but she doesn't rave about it. "
