Towne House

My wife and I will be moving into The Towne House. The tour was very positive. I like the size of the apartments and the convenience. The apartment that we chose is convenient to the rest of the community. It's over 50 years old in that location, but it looks brand new and very well-maintained. Their staff is extremely helpful. They have a health center, barbershop, and beauty shop. They have a podiatrist who comes in monthly. The facilities were first class.

I've chosen The Towne House for my sister-in-law because principally, my wife and I both live here also. We have a very caring staff, 24-hour nursing support in the whole area, and a very good activities director. It's just a pretty place to live. The meals start about 6:30 or 7:00 in the morning in the cafe that's for breakfast and lunch, and then in the evening, there's a formal dining room. They finish up about 7:30 maybe, so there are three full meals available every day, but there's a meal allowance as part of our monthly fee, and the food is OK. They used to do it all in-house, then about a year ago, they outsourced it, and we're still trying to understand how that all works. My sister-in-law has a two-bedroom apartment on the first floor with a living room, kitchen, and two bathrooms. The place is very homey. My wife and I do some cooking on our own, while her sister does some as well, however, we usually go up to the dining room at least once a day to eat either lunch or dinner, depending on what looks good. They published the schedule a week in advance so we can see what the special is for the day, although there's an ala carte menu that you can choose from as well. I still drive and have a car, so we order groceries from a local grocery store online and then we'll pick them up once a week and bring them back. They play a lot of card games here and bingo once or twice a week. There's a game room with two billiard tables and a small movie theater that holds about 30 people and where we watch movies once a week. We have an in-house cable channel that runs information daily, both as a bulletin board type of thing, and also they run movies and other events on it. They have two buses that take people shopping once a week. Since we have our own car, we don't do that, but we were all out for dinner Thursday night at a local restaurant. There's a semi-monthly women's luncheon and there's a monthly men's luncheon. There's volunteer activities and we have a semi-monthly volunteer lunch. We're finally going to have a welcoming event for all the people that have arrived recently. So, we have a party and get together and get to know them. It's just overall a great place to live, and The Town House is actually a charitable operation. It is part of a corporation called BHI Inc. and it originally started out as a church based facility, and so it's a nonprofit.

Towne House was very nice and had lots of activities, but it was expensive. The apartment was clean, and the staff was very friendly and very helpful. They had a room where you could exercise on the treadmill and a place where you could buy snacks. They had car ports, which you could add on to the cost of your place.

My husband and I have gone to the Towne House to see a friend. We saw like a perfect living place as far as we were concerned. I never did find out exactly how much it was a month, but we went to visit a friend there, and we were just totally wiped away. They even have restaurants where you can go in and order up the menu, and more than one restaurant to go to. It just seemed like more independent. It was almost like hotel living. We watched him go from independent living into the nursing home. It was just more like being on vacation. They even have a bar where they could go order drinks. They had everything. When we go to see him, he was unbelievably happy, and it was a perfect place.
