I visited Rockwell Retirement Center. It was my old high school back when I was a kid before they built a new one way back in 1954. The place was nice, and everything was spiffy inside. It's just way out of my price range. The rooms were nice and small, which is good for me because I only have a few pieces of furniture. They didn't have a pool or a gym, but they had a library, bingo, and field trips. You have to have a number to punch in to get in the door, and they like you to sign when you vsit, so they'd know if you're in or out, in case something happens, which is nice.

Rockwell Retirement Center is a wonderful place. Their dining room is immaculate. They have people that will help you. I need a wheelchair and they bring it down so I can eat and they bring it down to my car. The rooms are not the most beautiful. You have to bring your own furniture and drapery. They're all old school rooms, which have been made into rooms for you to live in. They have loads of activities and they have a wonderful activity room. The library is absolutely perfect. They have an exercise room, and they do light therapy for you. It meets my standards. They have air-conditioning and heat in all the rooms. They have an emergency light system and an escape route in case of a fire.

The rooms at Rockwell Retirement were very far apart and there did not seem to be much assistance given to the residents. My friend's father was there, and he managed to leave the building from one of the back exits, then could not get back in.

Numerous times I witness residents being made to wait for meals and picks up from dinning area. Many of them, including my friend needed to use the facilities and needed assistants due to the fact of being wheel chaired bound. Employees were found just sitting around on their phones. If that's the way they act when a resident needs assistants back to their rooms, I can only imagine what it's like when they use their call bells at night.

My father is in Rockwell Retirement Center. The rooms are beautiful. It is an old school house, which they redid. The rooms are in very good size. The staff is very much accommodating. My father does not go down for activities. He is on ten liters of oxygen, and he just cannot do it, but they offer a lot of activities. He likes the food. The dining area is very nice. I recommend them. Rockwell is the best: 100%.
