Concordia Arms

I toured Concordia Arms. There are a lot of things going on for the seniors. It's not just a building. They have bingo and other such things to keep you busy. That's one of the biggest things I have for me. The apartment looked good. They're a little small, but otherwise, they've got what I need: the grips, the bars, and no tub. It's just the walk-in shower. Others might have tubs, but I like the walk-in shower. That's one of my favorites right there, and plenty of cupboards in the kitchen. The staff was very nice.

I'm currently living in Concordia Arms. The price and the size fit my needs. It's a senior residential building, so it's quiet, it's very well maintained, and it's close to my doctors, the hospital, shopping and everything. The people in the building are very good. It's run by a very capable resident manager. I wish I didn't have to move. If I didn't have to look at assisted living, I would never move from here. Unfortunately, my daughter lives in Florida and my health issues have escalated this last year, which means I can no longer live by myself, so I need to look for assisted living and that's why I'm moving. Otherwise, I would stay here. Regarding amenities, there's a computer room, laundry facilities, a library, and a craft room. There's also a party room if you want to set up parties for Christmas or birthdays. And they hire individual people to come in and do exercises with some of the people. During the summer, there's painting and a little bit of pottery. They have individual things that you would find probably in your local community. They used to have a movie room and a communal dining room, but after Covid those stopped and those were no longer available to us. But there are many amenities around us. Also, with regard to value for money, I'm subsidized, so this is under HUD, so I get a very reduced rental fee for an apartment that would normally cost over $1,000. It's a very good value for me.
