The Retreat at Carrollton

My father-in-law is at The Retreat at Carrollton. It's very good. He's doing well. He is well cared for. The place is very nice and very clean. Everybody is very friendly and helpful. We are happy with it. He has a studio apartment, which is a small one, but it's the perfect size. It has a very large bathroom and has more storage than I realized at first. He's got a little patio, and he's overlooking the swimming pool. It's a really gorgeous location, very bright and cheerful. There are several different floor plans. There are a couple of different studios, and then there are one-bedrooms. They have a lot of activities. He doesn't really participate in them, but they have ice cream socials, take people out on trips, and provide transportation to doctors' appointments. They had a nice New Year's Eve party with live music, and they're always busy. They have a little flyer that they hand out every day of all the different activities for the day. Everybody seems really happy with the food. He's not eating very much there, but everybody seems quite content. The kitchen staff is very helpful.

My aunt moved into The Retreat at Carrollton. It's very clean. They have the best food. They have a great nurse who's hands-on. They take out the trash every single day. They clean your apartment and do your laundry once a week. When they bring it in, they wash your sheets and everything. When they bring it back in, they make up your bed. It's just been a godsend. They serve three meals a day. You go to the cafeteria to eat. They have a library. They play games. They have a big swimming pool and a gym. It's a wonderful place. Tony was the man who helped us with it. I have had no problems with the staff. My aunt has had no problem. Kay is the registered nurse there. She was even there last weekend. I go on Saturdays, and my cousin, my aunt's daughter, goes through the week, and we've had no issues. The people who clean the apartment didn't clean very well last week, last Saturday, and I said something about that, but that's my own preference. Everybody's particular, and I'm included. They came back within 30 minutes after me, going to the desk and saying there's still water on the mirror in the bathroom, and did what I had requested. They play games and will take you to your doctor's visits if it's within 10 miles of The Retreat. They take them to Walmart or Kroger. They can stay busy, but my aunt is not a joiner. She's not going to do any of that. It's more like a hotel. It's clean, nice, and well-lit. They have someone on security at night and cameras all the way around it.
