Trinity Landing

Norine

I toured Trinity Landing for independent living. The apartments are absolutely stunning and spacious. It's fairly new. It only opened a few years ago. It has quite a lengthy waiting list. It's near the coast, and you can drive to a separate parking area and view the water. It's not ocean side; it's a river inlet. They have everything with the independent living contained in one building. They have a central courtyard. Down the road, they have two-story homes. There are people in their 60s when they move there. All their activities and amenities are contained within the building. It's a four-square with the courtyard in the middle. We did not see a pool, but that doesn't mean they didn't have one. I have friends who live there, so they actually gave us the tour. We also spoke with the financial person before we left. It's a pricier area to move into. It takes a larger entrance fee, and the monthly rent is in the $6,000 range, depending on the apartment. We ate with our friends, and they took us to one of the on-campus dining areas. They have an interesting meal plan. You can cook some of your own, you can dine out at one of the eateries on the campus, and then you use your vouchers. They give you meal vouchers. You can pick and choose how you use your voucher. It's interesting. You get a new allotment every month. They sometimes save up their vouchers and cash them in at the end of the month for various items. By the way, the food was excellent. We had a sandwich and a salad. It was restaurant-style service.
