I think that Oakhaven Manor was wonderful. I saw their one-bedrooms and their two-bedrooms, and I liked them. The staff members were just wonderful. I saw all the amenities, and the facility is clean. I'd go there; I just liked it. There wasn't anything going on during the visit; they were still under COVID restrictions. They have a nice garden in the summer and a fountain. I only met one of the staff, and she was fabulous.

I visited Oakhaven Manor. It was a really nice place and feasible. The tour was good, but because of COVID it was not as open as it could be. I can understand that they are under their own guidelines. The room was a two-bedroom, it was laid out nice, and I liked it. It was an apartment with a kitchenette or a kitchen, with a lot of closet space. The staff -- her name was Karen -- was knowledgeable, and she told me the ins and outs of the place. She told me what I wanted to know. They had a restaurant and an activity room, but at the present time they could not do anything because of COVID. It was nice. I don't have that much of a problem walking, but I think for a person who has difficulty moving around, it is a very big place. It is laid out like a big motel, so if you are at the end of the hall you'll have a lot of walking to do, because the elevators are in the middle.

We went to see Village Manor Retirement for my mother. It was a nice place. The staff were friendly and the people that moved there seemed to be happy. They showed me both an apartment and a studio and they were very nice. The only thing I saw was the dining room. She said they have activities but that they were on hold right now because of the pandemic.

My sister is now in Medilodge of Howell. She is well taken care of there and doesn't do many activities at this point, just watches TV all day. She has a roommate, so she doesn't have a room to herself. I can't say her room is spacious, but it is clean. She doesn't like the food; she says it is not good. Nevertheless, the staff members are taking good care of her. They have a courtyard that goes off to the front of the place. They have an activities room, but she doesn't frequent it. The place is well maintained.
