I moved into St. Regis Retirement Center. The bathrooms are very small; there's just a shower and there are only two handholds to get into the shower. I've had a stroke and I'm 50% paralyzed so it's kind of hard for me when I get in the shower, but I can sit down and I can get around pretty good. Every bathroom is the same in this whole building. The kitchens don't have have burners; they don't have that at all. They have a place where you can put your microwave oven and a very small refrigerator, but it's like three feet by three feet. It's really small. You see the rooms before you move in, but they put you in rooms with rugs that are like ten years old. The rugs are really old so you have to get some other rugs just to put on top of them. I'm in a wheelchair half the time. The second and third floors have rugs, and the first floor has vinyl floors, which would be better for me. The only rooms that have two windows are the corner rooms. It's a thee-story building, so you have four corners and three stories, so those are the only rooms with two windows and a balcony. All of the other apartments just have either one window or one balcony. This wing of St. Regis is all independent living, and you can't have anybody here with an electric scooter or electric wheelchair because they can't be in this wing. They have a separate wing all for assisted living, then they have another area for memory care. The assisted living has its own single dining room that we use, but everyone has been served in their rooms since this March. There's not very many staff members here; we only have about ten people. All we have are the cooks and servers, and they have one maintenance man. They're all very nice and kind people. I came from another community which had a lot better food than this place. The food here is just average. For someone like me, I spend about $200 a month buying food. We have no activities right now. In the indpendent living if you're going to go to the doctor or the dentist you've got to pay for yourself or pay paratransit to get there. They used to take everybody out to go to Walgreens or places like that, but now they're not doing that and those places are pretty closed down. You have to have some cash here because this place does not wash your clothes. So you've gotta pay $20 to wash your clothes. What's terrible for me is that the building is so old they have an elevator and it's only five feet by five feet. I had a $3,000 medical bed that I had to give away and the VA had to get me a $5,000 medical bed that comes apart so it could get on the elevator and to my room. The elevator is causing problems for people with medical beds that don't come apart. They're pretty safety-conscious here. All of us took the test to see if we had the virus. I took the test five times, five weeks in a row. The good thing about this place is that it's cheap. I think the pricing is pretty good.
