[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The average old person’s image of an assisted living facility is about 50 years out of date. They have no idea what they’re picturing and fearing. They’re imagining a hospital, when it’s more like a luxury condo.[/quote] One I visited had a movie theater families could use with their elder, and they make you popcorn. Happy hour a few times a week. A cafe downstairs with wine and pastries. The one we chose has happy hour, some activities, and a community cat. There are several patios where you can eat lunch plus dining rooms you can reserve for family parties. There’s a grand piano and several TVs in the lounges where we have watched games together. Some of you have outdated ideas of what these places are like. There are good and bad ones. [/quote]
