My Mom is looking into a Retirement Community, and I wondered if anyone had any "first hand" experience with this one?
She will be 70 this year - is relatively "young" - but is single, and lonely. She has some trouble getting around for long distances, and frankly, I'd feel better if she was surrounded by other people.
Thanks!!
Our best friends have her mother there, it is a BEAUTIFUL facility and I have personally been there. They have white glove dinner service and I think you are allotted a certain number of meals a day that you can use or bank up to enjoy with family members.
Our fiends eat there at least twice a week and say it is wonderful. They also have a beautiful theater and all of the other perks that you would expect.
It is very high end and VERY expensive. She has a 2 bedroom condo and I think she pays somewhere around $4000.00 per month :-)
Good Luck!

Hi Jill,
I work for Home Instead Senior Care. At the present time, I have had 3 clients to care for at the Conservatory.
1) Mr. and Mrs. "B" had been there for sometime. They loved it and enjoy the functions. They have a great deal of $.
Found the floorplan at Franklin Place very feasiable and residents less stuffy.
2) Mr. and Mrs. "T" were there 6 months ago. Now at Franklin Place. Loves the bus for errands and tour trips. Downside: said found it stuffy and had to dress up for dining at the "C"
3) Mrs. W still there due to her kids thought it the best place for her. Very lonely, doesn't play bridge and has to dress for dinner. Not happy being alone.
