If I'm gonna move, I'm going to go into The Whitcomb Senior Living Tower. I liked it. It had everything that I was looking for. It had an independent room and a restaurant. It had every amenity I could ever think of. If I ever needed any more help for anything, it's there. It's beautiful and clean. The people I met were fantastic, including some of the residents I ran into. I was very happy with the whole situation. The room was fantastic. I'm going to get a furnished room. There's no big view where that room is, but I like the size. It's a very large studio apartment, much larger than I thought it would be. It's got the internet and my television. Anything I need is there. They have a bus that will take me to my doctor, pick me up from my doctor and bring me back. I was happy with that. They will take me also if I need any kind of groceries, which I won't need because they have breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They have a restaurant, and they have a huge room for other activities like exercise, movie nights, and bingo. They check on you three times a day, like if you don't show up for meals. They just have everything you could ever possibly think of. I'm really happy with what I saw. They have certain times of the day when you could eat, which gives you a couple of hours for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The people I've talked to seemed to be pretty happy with the place. The staff was fantastic.

My father is at The Whitcomb Senior Living Tower. There are currently new owners. He's been there for two years now and he's very happy there. His church is in the area. It's been very good. I'm very happy that he's there and he's happy. I love the other clients there. I love that the staff is very caring about him. They've got wonderful residents and wonderful staff. It was economically appropriate for my dad. The staff is very good, very personable, very caring, and very nice. They are certainly experienced in what they do. Dad is very pleased with the food there very much so. To me, they are very conscious of the way they prepare the food and they give certainly a variety at every meal. You're not just eating one type of food. They give you choices, too. They bake, they broil, and they roast. I haven't been aware of any fried food. If they do, it's very rare. It's very healthy food. They will prepare food even if you have allergies. They prepare food just for you. It's a very nice facility. The new people plan to upgrade where it's very necessary. They're going to do areas more for the people there. They have different health exercises, various games, and they're taught different card games, movies, they have educational speakers come in very frequently, they have music entertainment quite often, day trips weekly, and restaurant trips weekly. They're very lucky to have the outdoor symphony right next door, so there is a big band show, that they can attend. Their location is just ideal. They're right Downtown St. Joe. A beautiful park is right across the street from them. It is a million-dollar-plus location. Value for money is very fair. It's tremendous when you think about what they get there compared to other facilities.

My mom has been living at Whitcomb Tower Retirement for 11 years, and right now she's good. It's a very old hotel in the downtown area where you have an individual room. My mother has a nice two-bedroom with a living room and a bathroom. The décor is from the 1800s, and they live right along the shoreline on the bluff of Lake Michigan, so there are places to walk. They have one-bedrooms for the nursing floor and a dining room for that nursing area. My mother can go downstairs to a really nice dining room and have her food there. There's also laundry. They try to have some entertainment come in once a week, plus bingo, exercise, book clubs, and outings.
