Carroll Heights Apartments

I moved into Carroll Heights Apartments. They have three different sizes of apartments and three different prices. They also have studios, of two different sizes of studios. And they also have meals that come in every day. If you want to buy your meals they give you a menu every month. There's a refrigerator and stove. The appliances are provided and there are conditions. There are some maintenance men. They have a maintenance office and they have a mailbox outside the door with slips. If you want anything fixed or looked at in your apartment, you just throw it out and put it in and then they get to it within a day or two. I have zero complaints. There's this full-time cleaning lady, she just keeps the hallways and the laundry rooms clean. There are laundry rooms on each floor. The main floor is where you take your recyclables, but if you're just throwing out your trash, your garbage, each floor has a bin and you just throw it down the chute. You don't even have to go downstairs to throw it away. They have activities all the time. It's put on by some of the ladies that live here. They have a day room where it has a table and you can do puzzles. It has a banquet room, which you can use for free as long as you clean, we'll say birthday parties, which also has a refrigerator and a stove in it. They put fliers up. I know that in December we're making fudge and peanut brittle, activities like that.

I was looking at an apartment at Carroll Heights Apartments and the bedroom was so small. I couldn't get my furniture in there at all. I have to have a nightstand because I have a CPAP machine and I got a queen-sized bed myself, so I would have had to downsize to a twin bed. They are keeping me on the list to see a larger one when it comes available though. I have a cousin that lives there and she loves it. Her mother was there, too, until she was 103, but she's in assisted living. It was wonderful. My cousin has a car, so she uses the carport. You walk down the hall and do your laundry. They also have bookcases in a wide area, which is their local library. I didn't look at the books, but there were a lot of them. There are so many things included in the price. They include your heat, your TV cable, and air-conditioning. The only thing you have to pay for is your telephone. The price was reasonable. The staff is very friendly. They're always, "Hello, how are you, can I help you find anybody?" that kind of thing. They're very nice. She's been there five years now. The facility is laid out well. It's not new, but it's kept nice and clean.
