Beatrice Place

I toured the Beatrice Place. The staff was very friendly. It's affordable, and it has lots of activities, but it did not feel inviting. It's a bit small, and it did not have as many amenities as the other place I saw. There is a chapel, activities, a transportation shuttle, community lunches each week, and a café, but no dining room, which is a big thing we are looking for.

My mother has done really well at Beatrice Place. She's with people her age who have the same interests, and they provide some group activities, dinners, and potlucks suppers. There is a bunch of residents who will find something to do and then will organize it. It's been a good place for her. The staff is very good. The lady who runs it, her mom is a resident there. They're personable and help out in any way they can, driving them around if they need to get driven to doctors or whatever. They have an open lunch at least once a week where people can bring their lunches out in the kitchen area and talk. They have a suggestion box, and they're doing whatever the residents want. They cook their own food here. The facility is nice and clean.

Beatrice Place is independent; it's part of the Episcopal Senior Living Centers. It's great for my mom because all the apartments open into an inside hallway, which is good because it's cold up there in the winter time. It's a very small apartment, but she needed a small one. She has trouble with mobility issues, but it's all handicap-accessible. It has walk-in showers and washer/dryers in the units and just all the things that she needed. I helped get the apartment ready and put up drapes, shower curtains, and shelves, so I was very familiar with it. We dealt with the people there, so they've been extremely helpful. She loves it there. It's just a great place. Very reasonable in price and really good people there running it. She's been in 2 different facilities there, and they're just wonderful. There are activities for them. I know they have a lot of informal things where people just get together and talk. They go in their little chapel, and they have people to play the piano, and the people can sing.
