Alate Old Town

Carol

My tour of Alate Old Town went great. I enjoyed the lady who gave me the tour. It meets all my criteria, except there's no pool. They showed me a two-bedroom, and it was furnished. That was all well and good, and it's close to little shops downtown. I like the area and everything, but it's so far from some of my doctors. The staff who gave the tour was very thoughtful. I had to sit down a few times, because for some unknown reason I got lightheaded, but she was there and she took her time. She was very patient with me. So, I really enjoyed the tour.

I have moved into Alate Old Town, a new facility in Alexandria. I like the amenities that they have. They have activities like yoga once or twice a week. It's very friendly senior living. They have a music room and an art room. They have an outside grill too. They even have a place for the grandchildren. If you have them over they have a room downstairs where the grandkids can go and play. They also have a dining room where you can have a family gathering, so you can have friends and family come over. If you don't want to eat in your apartment, you can go to the dining room area, which is a couple of feet away from where you reside. It is very comfortable. We have a TV on each floor. We even have a doctor's office, so it's very convenient for 62+ independent living. I haven't eaten any, but they have meals. They serve breakfast, and occasionally they serve food during activities like paint and sip. It all depends on what the plan is for the week. The staff is wonderful and very helpful. It's pleasing and satisfying the way that they meet your needs as much as possible. I just feel like they should have apartments with rent based on income.
