Oak Pointe of Washington

My mother has been in Oak Pointe of Washington. It's a nice facility. It's a little over a year old. The people are very friendly. The workers, all the ones that I've met, have been very friendly and helpful. My mom has a studio. It's just one room and a bathroom. So far, I haven't had really any complaints with them. The only problem I had so far was the choice of pharmacy, because they require medicines on a bubble pack instead of in a bottle, and it's a little bit more expensive that way, but there's nothing I could do about that. That's just the way it goes. She says the food is very good, and she doesn't have to cook it. The facility is fine. The only thing is that I refuse to have my mother get the COVID shot, and if she leaves the facility, she's quarantined for three days. Her door can be open to a room, but she can't leave her room. She can't go out into the hall, she can't go down for dinner, and they bring her meals to her, and that kind of stuff. That's the only drawback to the place is, because of not opening up as far as the COVID thing, even though it's over. They have bingo a couple of nights a week. The other night they had a band playing country music for them. I haven't talked to Mom too much about what's goes on out there, but my mother has become a social butterfly, I know that. There is a couple of people there that she knew, and she's met a whole bunch others. They have a hairdresser that comes in once a week, and as long as you're not under quarantine, you can go see her on Mondays, make an appointment with her, and they cut their hair. They have not reinstated their bus yet because of the pandemic, but she'd be able to if she wanted to. Later on, once they get loosened the rules on that, then she'll be able to take a bus to go shopping, or take her to church, or take her to a doctor, or whatever. The staff members are very friendly and helpful. It doesn't matter if you're a resident or a visitor, they'll answer questions for you to the best of their ability.
