"Brookdale Roanoke is focused primarily on memory care. There are four different sections. If you look at it like a rectangle, there's one on the bottom left, the bottom right, the top right, and the top left, and that's where all the residents are. Within each of those residences, they're grouped to according the level of care that they need. Outside of that common ground, there's a huge walkway in the back that is level and flat. It's a huge area that is a big fenced, so they can walk without any restrictions. Many of the residents are experiencing wandering so they just can walk to their heart's content. There are a lot of people that have been there like the top nursing program, even the salesperson, and they've been there for 10-plus years. They are not people that are leaving like every two or three years. They're very committed to this particular disease state. They're trained from the top to the very bottom, and they have that continued education. It seemed like it was a good place with the initial tour that we experienced. There's nothing exciting about the room. It seemed to be basic. It was not large. It seemed to be adequate in terms of a one-room bedroom and the bathroom altogether per se. It's just one single room, but the whole idea is for the residents to be involved in activities and to truly be outside of the room. They offer a monthly caregiver meeting so that people from the community, even if they don't have family members there, they're welcome to come to talk about experiences and stuff that they're working through regarding their family members and memory care.
