Columbia Independent Living

The Waterford at Columbia was very nice, really warm, and inviting. They had what looked like lots of activities, and there were a lot of people out when I toured. The rooms were not very new.

Forest Pines is independent living and brand new. They're in the process of renovating it into very nice, large living quarters. There's very good food. I have a one-bedroom with a large bathroom, a small kitchen, and a living area. It's about 500 square feet in total...
