We visited St. Paul's Senior Community. My aunt is happy with it. It looked safe. It did not have an odor to it, even though they just recently had a pipe that had burst on Christmas Day. They had some people in there cleaning up for that, but they were on top of it, right away, cutting walls out, replacing floors, and doing everything they could to get it ready to go. They had a library, physical therapy onsite, a family dining area in addition to the regular dining area, and a game room for bingo. The rooms were very roomy. The one thing that was nice compared to some others is it had a full kitchen including a stove and it was very easy to get around. Even though I was pushing her in her wheelchair, it was very easy for her to get through that area.

I saw both the independent and assisted living of St. Paul's Senior Community. I had a very good experience with the place. I liked them, but I would say the independent living rooms were maybe a little small. However, they were doing upgrades and refurbishment on everything. The facility looked really good. The marketing guy spent a lot of time talking to me. I was also there years ago when my grandmother was there, and it's much improved now. It's got a new building, refurbished rooms, and beautiful trees in the surrounding area. I have no problems with the physical appearance. There were a couple of residents sitting outside the doors and each of them had different kinds of activities and so forth.

I visited a friend over at St Paul's. It's entirely too big. If and when I ever have to go some place, it's going to be smaller. It's nice, but it is just absolutely too big. It's one of the better places, but I really don't like it. It's too spread out. My friend is 90+, and she's still up and around. Her apartment is on the fourth or fifth floor which means every time she leaves her apartment, which is often, she has to take the elevator down to the first floor and then you have to walk so far when you get to the first floor to get to the dining room, and she doesn't complain. She uses a walker, but it would be entirely too spread out for me. I have several friends from church over there. We went in to play cards, and they were going to serve us food in the card room, but we decided to go through the line and pick up our salad and then pick up our other food. On the other side of the building, they have a nursing home which is completely separate from the independent living. She has a 1-bedroom apartment, and she likes it very much. It's a very nice place. They rebuilt, and a lot of it is new. We play cards every two weeks in a room where they have different activities. It had a long table and a buffet. We had to get out by 3:00 because my pastor from my church has a bible study over there. It was a nice large room. They use it for a lot of meetings and get-togethers. My friend likes the food very much. You could get fish or Sloppy Joe sandwiches, which didn't appeal to me, but it was OK. We paid $5 because she had to pay for the guest. They have entertainment, and there's something you can go to every day. The staff all seemed nice and friendly and talked to us.
