One thing I like about Stonehill Communities-Assisi Village is they have assisted living. And when they're in assisted living and they get to a point that they think they need memory care, then they would just transition them into the memory care part of the facility. They had studio apartments, 1-bedrooms and 2-bedrooms. They didn't have any double occupancy, it was all one occupancy rooms, even in the memory care part of it. It was all private rooms. They had an activity director, and in that area, they play games, they did some memory things. When we were there that day they were talking about what happened during the civil war, to try to bring back memories to some of the elderly. Then they play some memory games, and they give them a list of things and put these things on them. They give them these papers that have pictures of these things on them, and they have to put them in order, or as well as they can. They had a few people that were just sitting back watching that didn't want to play, so they just let them watch, but they included them in the activities, which I like. It gets them out of their rooms. I don't like it when they just leave them in their room and turn the TV on for them. They get them out of their room, take them to a dining room to eat, unless they protest that they don't want to, then they can eat in their room. But I like it when they encourage them to go participate with other people and do activities with a group. And that both of these facilities did that. The staff there was a good ratio. It was all very clean, they have a lot of safety things, walk-in showers, and shower seats. For the studio apartments, you have to go to a community shower. But otherwise, if you have a 1-bedroom or a 2-bedroom, you have your own bathroom and shower. And there's a small kitchenette in those rooms with refrigerators. I got to see menus and it looked like it was a good, healthy, balanced meal.
