I did a tour of Asbury Village, and it was very positive. I met the chef who is in charge of the kitchen, and I met one of the resident ambassadors there. She's actually the one that took me on the tour. Then, I got to see everything that they have to offer. But one thing that I was very impressed with is, because they are a methodist supported home, it used to be called Methodist Village, but they decided to change it because people were giving the wrong impression that you had to be Methodist to live there. Their population is actually more Catholic than anything else. They have a very nice chapel there, and they have a priest that comes in every week to say mass, which is important to me because I'm Catholic. What I was looking at is independent living because I am completely independent. I don't need any level of care, but the thing is, I want to be in a place where at some point that I do need that, then it's available. I was not there during any active time when people were like in the dining room or doing activities or anything. It was very quiet that day. They gave me a calendar of activities and they also gave me a menu. If I decided that I cook my own meals to eat in the dining room, then you get a certain amount of credit that's included in your monthly fee that you can use or not.

My mother will be moving into Asbury Village. They took me to all the amenities that they have, the activities, and the dining room. I was also able to see a one-bedroom and a two-bedroom unit. They have game rooms where they do certain activities. The rooms were very nice. The staff was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. The rooms were slightly bigger and the pricing was cheaper than others.

I'll be moving into Asbury Village. I will have a big living room, a bedroom, and a full kitchen. I will have a dishwasher, a full stove, and a refrigerator. There is a washer and dryer there where I did not have to go down the hall to use the washing machine. My apartment will be such that I will do my own cooking. I lived in a villa there. They have villas there as well as apartments. One big apartment is for independent living, and then at the other end of property is like for people with dementia. I made friends the first time I lived there, and they're still there. They all knew me since I walked in. They have their own chapel there, they have their activities going there, and they have a beauty shop there. They have a van that will take you to the doctors, to the grocery store, or wherever you need to go if you don't have a car or a vehicle. So it is everything that I need. They have bingo and exercises. Sometime this week, the staff told me that they were having the youngsters come in and put on a show for them. You can go to like crafts, and there's the library if you want to go to the library, and then they have like card games if you want to get involved in that. I have my own balcony where I can sit outside. The building is very well, such that if I wanted to go someplace, I can step out into the hall and there are signs telling you where everything is at. First, they give you a map to show you where everything is at. It's very nice. Each and every resident has their own door decorated up. It's beautiful. It's just beautiful. The staff has been very friendly and always helpful. They have a cleaning lady come in and clean for you. They're excellent. I get to meet anybody up there that has been a negative attitude. I have yet to meet that, and I have lived there before.
