Clearwater Beaverton

Carolyn

I visited the independent living community of Clearwater Beaverton, and I will be moving into a 2-bedroom apartment there. It was $700 cheaper than the other facility I looked at, and everybody was just so friendly. The people I sat with and had lunch with have been very nice. Everybody seems to like the place really well, and there were no complaints. I wanted the 2-bedroom apartment because my house is almost 3000 square feet, and there's a lot of stuff I've collected, so I liked the size of the unit. I love the courtyard, too. They have a lot of activities there, and I thought that would be interesting. I also have a deck that is kind of enclosed. It's not on the outside of the building, but just bolted onto the side, and has a door out onto it from the bedroom. I like that it's covered, and my things won't go flying off the side of a building if it gets stormy. I think they said that nobody's used that room before. It's brand new, so that'll be nice. The sink faces the window that looks outside near the deck. It has a raised counter there, so I could put stools instead of a dining room table because I didn't want to take up more space in the living room, which is not that big. You come in and there's a kitchen and a place where you could put your dining room table and living room. I like that a lot. I liked that it has a bath and a half. I also like that one wall is painted in a very nice soft green. I just don't have anything that I'm worried about. They also have covered parking if I want it. Everything seems to be taken care of, and I'm very pleased. There are a lot of activities there. There's somebody there that quilts, and I also wanted to do yoga, and they've got that. The food was good. There are lots of choices that you can eat, and it's two meals a day, which is fine. I could also have my cat there.
