That's 6000 square foot home..they got an "apartment type" it had 2 bedrooms a living room and small kitchen..no stove ..but had a microwave..we felt much better about them being n a safe envireonment
Since I am living independently in my own home, I do not need assisted living. However, I did look at a couple of facilities that offered independent living. The people I spoke to were very nice. But the apartments were so tiny. I would not only not fit my bed in there, I would hardly be able to take anything of my own. Additionally the rent they wanted was more than my monthly income and when I asked they told me it would go up every year. As I am doing fine on my own, I saw no reason to make any kind of move. Yesterday was bad because it was the fourth anniversary of my husband's death. But today is another day and so I go on.
