I went to Merrill Gardens at Columbia. It was lovely; it was brand new. It's a super facility. The employees were excellent. It would be a second choice to the other one except that it's on the second floor. I thought it would be better to be on the first floor and be able to go straight out onto the yard, and have a safe place for them to go to without having to get on an elevator. At that time, you couldn't go into the actual section where the residents were. They showed me the rest of the rooms that were not necessarily memory care but part of that same facility. It's quite large. It's a beautiful place. They showed me some of the menus. One thing they do that others didn't, they have no meal time. You are able to eat whenever it suits you. Like if you don't get up until 10, you can still go down and get what you want. It was more like a restaurant where you order when you want it. That would be convenient for those who have different schedules that they like to carry on. The staff did a fine job. It felt like they were open. They showed me other places that were just for residents who want to live there that are not incapacitated or anything, and they were lovely. It was more like a commercial building because it's new and modern instead of homey. It didn't have a little bit of a homey feel to it when you walk into the entrance and then go up to the memory care. It was all glass and all open areas, and so you could have a feeling of being outside and not closed up.
