"I'm in Danbury Broadview Heights. Kim, the DON, makes you feel pretty good. She always has a smile on her face. She laughs with you. If you're having a bad day, she listens. She's a very good listener. I had an issue and there were no nurses in their station, so I wheeled down to Kim's office, and she handled the whole thing for me. I didn't have to get involved with talking to my dentist's office. There's a handful of aides that are very caring. When you have to take a shower, they're right in there with you, not in the shower, but in the bathroom. They kindly remind me that it's my day today, and I'll tell them either yes or no. They'll say, "OK, I'll stop back in and ask you again, but there's no pressure." They will help you with whatever you want. I dropped a whole bunch of stuff on the floor. I cannot bend over due to my accident, and they kindly cleaned it up for me. My apartment is a studio apartment. Everything I need is in here, such as a TV, dresser, sink, refrigerator, I have two chairs in here and a bed, and the closet. I talked to Allison that I am looking at a particular suite if it becomes available and she says she'll keep that in mind. I'm happy where I'm at, but when I bring visitors in, I don't think they want to look at my bedding. We have a bistro and a pub. We have two living rooms, one downstairs and one upstairs and the eating areas. There's plenty of places you can go to instead of just sitting in your room. There's a whole bunch of activities. They have nail care. They have Parkinson's, Lunch and Learn. They also have another one about dementia. They have a number of educational classes. Today they have Laughter with Yoga. They have seated workout. They have a game room down there. People play pool, shoot baskets, and throw axes at a board. If you don't take part of them, they encourage you to go to at least one or two and not become stuck in your room all the time. I've been to two or three other places before coming here, and this one is by far the best that I've been through. The staff is friendly and caring, but like human beings, sometimes we might have a bad day. There's no lack of interaction. We wear these little things around our neck because I have fallen a couple times and thank goodness, I had one of the buttons because I needed help and a speedy response. They are in the hallways every day. They just keep cleaning and cleaning and cleaning. At these other facilities I have been, you could smell urine or you can see people out in the hallways sitting in their wheelchairs. Here, people are mobile, in their wheelchairs or maybe they have to be pushed, but there are always movements. If somebody has an idea that they would like to see, they'll try it. Like we have a fellow that's 100 years old. He made a game and people go down and play it. The rates just keep going up and up and up. Every January, we can expect quite a hefty."
