We visited Commonwealth Senior Living at Willow Grove. It's clean, and they have very friendly staff, but they need to disclose something very important. We had paid the down payment on it, and then we heard from someone else that you have to sign a two-year agreement. That was never mentioned. So, we went back, and their reasoning was that most people want to stay, and they want to be settled down. We said, "Yeah, but if we don't like it, we're still locked in and that is not something we want." So, we put a stop-payment on that quick and decided not to go with that. It's a beautiful facility, and the staff was nice. We were impressed with the dining area. They use cloth napkins and cloth table covers. You look out on a small lake out there with the ducks and swans. So, it was a beautiful atmosphere. They do have a greenhouse in the area, and they plant and eat their own vegetables, so that was a plus. They have activities. I rate them a four overall because of the disclosure. Also, there was a question that we asked, about the security of the patients in and out of their room, if some of them maybe mingle into another patient's room because they do have dementia. That's not unreasonable to think they may do that, but her response was, "Oh, no, that doesn't happen. We keep the doors locked." When she said that, it does ring a bell with us. You keep them locked, that's unsafe. The dementia person that's confused doesn't know how to get out of that room. She said she will get back to us about the locking process on the room. When you're the administrator, that's something you would know. We know our families won't be there every day, and just like my dad was with somebody every day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, it's not going to be a person that's unattended. But why should we, on a day that we will not come, be worried about how she's going to get out of that room? When we questioned her again, she said they have a key fob. They're a dementia patient, aren't they going to think about what to do with the key fob? We never really got clarity on that.

My wife will be moving to Commonwealth Senior Living at Willow Grove. They're in the middle of renovating the whole place, so it looked fine and clean and everything, but it's kind of a mess right now. Everybody seemed nice and everybody was friendly. The rooms were adequately large, and they were a good size for one person. They have a salon, they do trips, they have musicians come. They have these virtual reality things they do with the residents, which are pretty cool, where they actually do trips around the world in that kind of thing. What really sold me here was that when you walk in someplace, it just feels right, and it just felt right. My wife, she's very young, she's only 56, and most of the places don't have any young people. But they have a bunch of young people there, so I felt a lot more comfortable there. It's more like a hotel, where you have the hallways and the common area in the middle.
