I was able to tour Williams Place Gracious Retirement Living, and it was very, very nice. They gave us a tour of the whole place: a one-bedroom, a two-bedroom, and a suite. They had their chef cook us a dessert; it was very nice. The people who gave us the tour were very nice. It was independent living, but there are à la carte options if you want extra help on different things, and that was kind of weird to me. It is hard to budget when things are à la carte like that. If they had to take them to the dining room and back, it is a charge. If they had to help with meals, it is a charge. It is really not independent, I guess, if you're going to keep paying for that. They had everything: a movie theater, games, and a full calendar of stuff every day. There are some inside activities and some outside activities. I was impressed with all the things that they lined up for their seniors.

My mom is staying at Williams Place Gracious Retirement Living. You live on your own in your apartment, but they have meals. I like the location as well as the people there. It is just a nice environment. You have to bring in extra help if you want it. She has a great apartment. It is a one-bedroom apartment that is overlooking the lake, which is nice. The facility itself is very nice. It is fairly new and it has only been around for three years. They have lots of different things to do both inside and outside. They do a ton of stuff every day.
