I went to St. Anne's Retirement Community. It's a beautiful residence and lots of real personality. One of the staff had done beautiful murals throughout the building. They care about making it feel like home. There were folks sitting outside when I came who lived there. They looked happy, and there was just a nice vibe when you walked in. They had less amenities than I expected, to be honest. They had social rooms, a beautiful chapel, and a nice cafe where you could go and you could dine with your family member as a guest; however, it looked like it was a cash restaurant (so it wasn't included in the meal plan). They had an activity room, and when I came they were about to start an activity. It looks like they've gotten people out of their rooms, and that was good to see. They have a policy where you have to eat two of the three meals in person each day. You can't just sit in your room; you really have to be part of the life of that place (at least that's how it seemed). I was disappointed in the rooms. It kind of almost looks like a nice studio setup where you have a little fridge and some even have sinks in the rooms, but then I realized that they did not have any staged rooms. They were just showing an empty room with a hospital bed in it. Each room had its own flat screen TV, and the landline was all ready to go. All you had to do was plug in the phone, so you didn't have to worry about TV and phone. I saw some of the actual residence rooms as I walked by, and they looked so cute. They looked like apartments, and I thought they were a different layout. It was because they live there and they were personalized, so I think that they need to pick a room and stage it. Otherwise it looks a little dismal, but they really can be adorable. They have a beautiful facility, and yet there wasn't a lot of worth from the admission staff. I think the staff who work there are probably fantastic. It was the admissions staff. I just wish they had been more enthusiastic about selling the place. It might be they don't need to because it's so popular, but that was concerning that they're not showing off how great it is. They had beautiful grounds; but for residents with higher needs, they don't have places to walk around outside. They had limited guest hours so that would be challenging.
