Morningside at The Meadows

Alvino

I like Morningside at The Meadows. They remodeled all the apartments except for the lobby and stuff like that, but it is still a real nice building, and the apartment that they showed me was brand new with all the amenities and stuff. They have two meals a day, which are breakfast and lunch or dinner. They come and clean your apartment and wash your clothes once a week. They have HBO, telephone, and computer services. Then they'll take you to doctors' offices or to any appointments you have. They have various hobby-type deals. They have painting classes, pool tables, and a lot of other things that you can do. They furnish your apartment with an electric stove and microwave oven. There is central air and heat. If you want minor appliances like toasters and coffee pots, you have to furnish those yourself, but they have all those downstairs in the dining area. If you're a coffee drinker, they have all kinds of coffee downstairs. They offered a lot, and the people were nice. My wife likes to go to church. They have a chapel there, and it's non-denomination. They have a pastor and preachers that come. My wife has gone to several of the things there because she wants to try a lot of stuff out before we make the move, and she's really satisfied. Even though we're not there yet, they don't object to her going to church there. They have a real nice balcony where my wife can put all her plants and stuff. They've tried to address a lot of the issues that elderly people have. They don't have a pool, though (and I'm a swimmer). However, they'll take you to the YMCA, and they have exercise events there, too. My car has always been in the garage, and they don't have a garage. They have very limited covered parking, and it's on a first-come, first-served basis. They don't assign them. That was another thing that I wish they had. The lady there was very helpful. She answered all our questions truthfully. She even offered to assist us in the transformation (even though we're not there yet) to where if we make the move, they can lead us to movers, people that will help us connect our appliances, like our TVs, and this and that. So, she offered for us to call her anytime if we have any questions. She was very honest, and she went through the building completely. Some of the apartments had wooden floors. Some had carpeting, and she said that they would comply with whatever your wishes were. If you want a wood floor and that apartment has carpet, they'll pick up the carpet and put wood in it. They try to satisfy your likes as far as the apartment goes. That was a nice feature and a good selling point for me. The buildings are in good condition. They have exercise rooms. They have washing machines that you can use.
