I visited The Ranch Estates of Tucson twice. They have assisted living and memory care, and we discussed both. It was very nice; otherwise, I wouldn't be taking my dad there. They have a wall for veterans; it's very nicely decorated with photos of the service person when they were serving, along with a current photo. That would be very important to my father because he is very proud of his service during World War II and the Korean War. The staff was excellent; her name is Myra, and she is very personable. We saw the rooms, and they seemed to be spacious. The bathroom had an especially nice feature in the shower where the water would cut in the drain across the front of the shower so there was no spillage. It was very interesting. We checked the menu, and we've been invited back for lunch with my father. The menu seemed very flexible. He could get a breakfast meal any time of the day, and that's one of his favorite meals, so I think that will appeal to him. There was a lot of food available. If he goes hungry, it's his own choice -- not because they didn't offer it. One of the features I like the best was their open outside area. It is spacious, and yet they created little pockets of seating that can give you the feeling of privacy, which was pleasant. It was all safely enclosed, too, so there's no chance of my father wandering off or that kind of thing. It included an area with tables and a grill so we could go there and have a family picnic. Part of what we were planning to do when we visited with my father was to see the activities. Those kinds of things are important to me -- that he observes and sees what might be available for him. I was given an activity calendar for the month so I'm aware of what the activities are. One of the activities that Myra mentioned is that they periodically have a car show in their parking lot with old cars, and my father restored an antique car so that kind of thing would be very appealing to him. Myra was very enthusiastic, she knows her product well, she has been there since the inception of the development, and she helped build the place. The staff there has not changed in that entire time. They like working there, and that makes a big difference in terms of how everyday staff is treated and appreciated. They've decorated the outside with desert plants, which is very sensible in Tucson, and they've done it quite attractively, too.
