King Thiel Senior Community

I am moving into King Thiel Senior Community. There's a lot of people around and they're not like old, old people. They're all around my age. The apartment itself is brand new and it's beautiful. It's really nice. It's perfect for me. I like the atmosphere and the people. The only thing that I'm not crazy about is I wanted something with a private entrance, and I don't have that, but that's okay. I'm kind of realizing this isn't going to be such a big deal to me. I also like that it's in Latham because that's where my kids are. The appliances are all brand new. There's a refrigerator, dishwasher, and washer and dryer. I have a huge, huge walk-in closet. It's probably as big as one of my smaller bedrooms. There's a storage unit, too. You pay $15 a month for it. It's almost right across the hallway from where my room is going to be and I'm at the end of the apartment, which is good. There are two bedrooms. They're not huge, but they're good-sized bedrooms. I can get a queen-sized bed with no problem. There are sliding glass doors in the living room and I'm on the third floor. When you look out, you can see deer running around. It's pretty nice. They've gone out of their way for me. They have been great. They also have, I think, three days a week when you can get lunch there for like $3 or something. So if somebody isn't in the mood to cook, they can get it. It's also a time when you can associate with other people. The staff was excellent. She was very, very good. Her name is Rachel. They went in and clean my apartment already so it's spick-and-span. It's really nice. Rachel was even concerned and she said that the refrigerator tilts a little. So she's been on their case and got them to take care of that. So it's like they're right on top of everything. The building itself is only three months old. The first one is in 17, and I'll be in 11. It's in a great area, too. The only thing is you have to definitely put your name on a waiting list. I was lucky that mine came up right away.

My husband and I toured King Thiel Senior Community. We went and looked at things that they had, and floor plans. My husband and I live in quite a large house, our health is not good, and we needed someplace to downsize. They have gyms and they have laundry facilities on each floor if you don't want a washer and dryer. They have a podiatrist and a physical therapist on staff. The staff was so kind, so caring, and so attentive. They answered every single question. We were there for quite a while talking with them and they took the time with us and explained everything, and we were quite impressed. They have many community activities. They offer golf, bocce, and cornhole. They have raised garden beds if you like to garden. They have every kind of craft room. They take you to all different activities, and to the doctors. There's just nothing that my husband and I would have to leave the building for if we didn't want to.
