Woodland Gardens

I toured Woodland Gardens. That one was very nice as well. They have a live-in guy, which is kind of cool. So he's there all the time, and then he has a couple of days off where other people come in. Other than the ones who came in to help out when we were there, he was making cookies and making lunch and doing it all. He lives right there, so there's somebody there at night all the time. They don't have to worry about somebody calling in at night to not show up or somebody having to work a double because somebody doesn't show up or whatever. I guess all their buildings have a live-in person. They have up to six residents. They have single rooms with half baths. They have a tub and shower room that they can shower in, and the bathroom itself has a toilet and a sink. The manager-owner himself came out, and all of those who were working there were very knowledgeable about everything as well. He'd been there for four years, the fellow that lives there. He was doing laundry, and there was a pile of laundry on the couch that had to be folded.

The thing I like the most about Woodland Gardens is the price. It's not real fancy, but that's fine because my husband doesn't need fancy, and we don't need to pay for fancy. I like the owners. He was just a very personable guy, and he understood what we were going through. It's only $4,000 a month, and the price will not ever change as long as my husband is there. They aren't going to raise the rate, and that is a good thing. It's out in the country. My husband can go outside and do things which he loves. We got to actually speak with the owner, and he was really thrilled because my husband loves to shovel snow, and he loves to do things outside. He was just a good guy. It's not really a huge place. I just hope that my husband would be happy there.
