Colonial Residence

My Father-​In-​Law has lived at the Colonial Residence for 5 years now. It is located in Stillwaters Estates where he lived for many years before having to move into assisted living. This was great, many of his former neighbors already lived there, so he already had friends. He was very reluctant to move, but now enjoys living there.
This is a very clean, well staffed assisted living facility. We go every week to do his laundry and take him to lunch, so I have gotten to know many of the residents and staff there. There is a wonderful library for the residents, and even has a weekly lending partnership with the Timberland Regional Library System.
The dining room is always set up like fine dining, attention to resident individual requirements are done well. My father-​in-​law for a while was on an almost pureed diet, they managed to make it more than tolerable for him.
There are movies, trips, and entertainment brought in constantly.
A few times my Father-​In-​Law has had medical emergencies, the staff is very calm and professional. He once had something that made him bleed allot, blood got everywhere. The staff made sure before the ambulance arrived to pack I a clean set of clothes, contacted us and let us know the ETA of him arriving at the hospital (which is about 3 blocks away). When we brought him home, they had cleaned the entire apartment, and not a trace of blood remained. The RN on duty came to great us at the door, double checked discharge orders and took good care of him.
There is also an entertainment ares that has a pool table, juke box, and other fun things. Family and friends can join family for dining and Thanksgiving and Christmas you can enjoy you holiday meal in their dining room. Food was really good and NO CLEAN UP for us…
This place is open to those who do not live in Stilwaters Estates, it is the nicest facility, and for what you get a great bargain. (Assisted living is always expensive).
I would live there if I had too.
The ONLY negative is the television, there is a weird version of satellite that doesn’t allow any options to get more channels which we find annoying. These folds spend allot of time in their apartments, for goodness sakes, let them pay for more if they want.
