My father is in A Touch of Heaven Assisted Living. It's very homey. They're very nice. It's not like a business to me. It seems very decent and never smells. I never had a problem. It has a good atmosphere, and it's very quiet. I've never seen anybody yelling or screaming. Everyone seems very nice. I haven't heard any of the residents complain about anybody that works there.

Sundial Assisted Living was very nice, but it's an older place. It's very small and not very social. They don't have a lot of activities. The staff was friendly.

My dad moved into A Brand New Day. It was originally apartment complexes with carports in between them that they made into a residential community. A Brand New Day is a very clean and nice place. It's a large complex that has everything that anybody would need. There's a big courtyard, there are four rooms to each hallway, and there is a shared bathroom. There is a lot of room for people to walk around. There is a library, a television room, a music room, and two separate kitchens. It's a good place; I haven't seen a better one. The staff members are all very friendly. My dad has no complaints about the meals. They also take the residents out once a week to restaurants.

I toured Hilltop Estates. A person can live there and have a lot of safety and companionship and still go out into the community because they have transportation. It feels welcoming and cheerful. I've eaten there and I thought the food was good. It's cooked en masse, but they have choices. You can choose between a couple of different dishes or entrees. They have options for different things that a person can do and they have people come in to entertain and everybody in the facility is invited. One time they had piano students come in. However, there's an odor in that place. It's not horrible, which I'm sensitive to, so I noticed it. I took a tour because my uncle was looking for a place and he ended up living there.

Sundial Assisted Living appeared to be pretty good. There were activities going on while I was there. Everything was nice and modern.
