Senior Suites of South Shore

I visited Senior Suites of South Shore, it's an independent living and self-serving. It was in a nicer location, and they had studio apartments and 1-bedroom apartments. It looked like a very modest establishment. They're very clean and the staff seems attentive. But it's not the type of place where they're serving food. I'm interested in this community, but I don't have the income to be able to afford enough for that. They took me upstairs to look at the studio, and it was very lovely. When I talked to the manager, I told her that I'm paranoid of rodents and insects crawling in the apartment. She said that if they have any of those, those would be something very miniscule, but that's something I could not tolerate. The residents have their committee meetings and things like that. The apartments have air-conditioning. Other than that I haven't noticed any other type of amenity. When I mentioned my finances, she said that there's a way that seniors can get around that, and I think that's another amenity that I need. The community looked very clean to me. The staff who gave me the tour was a wonderful person. She called me and said that Caring.com had listed my name, so we made an appointment and I went there. She met me at the front door and showed me around, she's a very pleasant lady. And I was very pleased with the presentation.

Senior Suites of South Shore is a multiple story building. The people were extremely friendly and tried their best to accommodate me. They showed me the rooms, the activity center, the nurses' station, the cafeteria, the lunchroom where they make the trays, and the laundry facility. The floors weren't very clean, and I can't put my mother in that atmosphere even though they accept respite care, and they were going to allow me only one week unlike the others. The apartments were more like studios, and they were very small.

I liked the location and I liked the attitude of the property managers at Suites of South Shore. It had a new feeling to it. They had an active calendar. It is a high rise and it looked pretty good. There was a dining area, but there was no cooking going on. It was one of those dining areas where people come in and meet and if you have your own food, you could eat it there, but there was nothing being served. The staff was polite, but it was strictly business. There was no socializing.
