hubby and I are planning to go into Assisted Living.

119. See for yourself!

If you do go for lunch, look for yourself at what is on the menu and what is served. My 91 yr old Mom is in a really nice assisted living place in the bay area of CA. Due to her medical needs it's pretty pricey, and thankfully due to the sale of her home she can afford to live there for now.

Anyway, when I visit I often will walk down to lunch/dinner with her and stay while she orders and the other residents get seated. I swear, every time I go I hear them complain about the food--it's either too bland, too much seasoning, pieces are too big, I didn't want it cut up, etc etc. And I am looking at what they are eating and it's excellent fare! We're not talking about cat food here!! I know, they may have lost some sense of taste, etc. But it makes me laugh every time. I did hear one lady saying 'this food is really good' over and over. The point is, if you do chat with residents be open minded about their comments, esp about the food!
