My husband and I will be moving to The Virginia Mennonite Retirement Community. We choose it because we have a daughter, a son-in-law and grandchildren in that area. I am also from that area so it feels like I am going back home. I like their set up because they go from individual cottages, to apartments, to assisted living and then nursing home. In other words, it is progressive. It goes to hospital stage. The staff is very nice. We are moving to a two-bedroom, two bath facility. There is a kitchen in the apartment, but I will not be cooking that much. It will be small but it will be sufficient. They have three dining rooms in different areas where we can eat. They have everything undercover so you don't have to walk out in the winter. They have a bank, a gift shop, a library and beauty parlor inside the buildings. The buildings are connected with covered walkways.

I really enjoyed this nursing home. The staff was just so welcoming when it came to having me there to entertain. They even invited me back again and to bring more friends. I was thinking about volunteering part time here, but got another job that was full time. I would go to the theatre to play for them and they would all come and enjoy it. The people seemed pretty well adjusted and independent even though there were nurses around. As I was walking around I really enjoyed the stunning-ness of the campus. It was beautiful. There were flowers blooming and the trees were blooming and there were people outside enjoying the fresh spring air. When I went to visit my relative there it was amazing. She was living in her own really fancy, a little bit small, but nice apartment. She said they always had people come and check on them and they could always call for help, but other wise your pretty much living on your own. I remember her saying that the care is different for all people. Some are checked on more than others. But overall I was very impressed with the facilities.
