She gave me as much time as she could, but her other appointments were coming in and I had to cut it short. She had other people that were vendors and whatnot, and she didn't have alot of time to spend with me. The staff had a lot of appointments coming in. I'm sure there are some other places I didn't get to see there that day. They got a TV room where you can watch TV if you want to sit with other folks and watch TV. It felt like it was a secure, safe place to live. The bathrooms were super clean, and all the rooms were really clean. Everything seemed to be in very good shape. I saw everything from the small ones to the medium to the big ones, and they were all nice. The staff was very good, very professional, and they answered every question I had, which was good, and so it helped a lot. They'll take you out of town to go and do something somewhere, and they have a bus transportation system for all that. They have exercise classes, aerobics and yoga and things like that. They have game night, they have billiards tables there where the guys get around and play billiards in the evenings, and they have movie nights. They have a gym, and they have all this other stuff that's included. They serve food, too, and they have all kinds of activities and things like that. I could stay at a nice hotel then I would stay with them. For the amount of money they charge per month, they ought to be able to afford to keep them up nice. Everything looked like it was fixed very well and nice. Like I'm disabled so I can't go up and down the stairs. They had stairs, and they have elevators, too. Hurles Grasslands Estates was in really good shape, and the layout was really good. The other thing was there was only a single elevator on each floor. You had to use a group laundry, and they did not have an updated heating and cooling system. They did not have laundry facilities in the individual apartments. The carpet in the hallways was not very clean, but otherwise, it was fine. There was an opportunity to visit with others at meals. The dining area had been updated and it was clean and people sat at tables of four. I wouldn't say the food was super good it was satisfactory, but they offer a variety of choices. You can choose between two different kinds of breakfasts, and two different kinds of lunches, and they have a third option as well. They offer a variety of choices for every meal. She also took me on a tour of the facility and showed me a sample apartment. It was another person but she was very helpful in the information she provided. The staff during the tour was not the regular admissions lady. Joyce The best thing about Holiday Grasslands Estates was probably the friendliness of the residents. They should have some kitchens in some places, and maybe have another elevator too, because by the time you get three people with wheelchairs or walkers into the elevator, it has taken up a lot of time. The other two facilities I'm looking at were maybe like ten or 12 years old, and Holiday Grasslands Estates is probably about 20 years old, so it's a little older. There were only a couple of things I didn't care for like the kitchenette, but everybody was nice to me. They had quite a bit of activities there. They had a very nice fitness center, a community room, and quite a few other things. They had a very good dining area with waiter service. The food was good though, and the staff I met there was wonderful. It's also three stories, and they only had one elevator. Joe I got a full kitchen in the place I have right now, but at Holiday Grasslands Estates, they just had a little kitchenette.
