We searched for a assisted living for my aunt after her sister(my mom passed) and she loved the apartment that she now occupies. She loves having her meals cooked and housekeeping once a week. She even has medical there. For small fees added to her independent living such as laundry, housekeeping and morning meals in her room. Assisted living has it included. She loves the meals and says the chef is making her too plump, lol! She enjoys the garden view from her apartment and loves watching the wildlife.
