Down the hall there is a chapel so lovely that God would have to be pleased, and across from the comfortable library and opposite from the nursing station there is a beauty shop. To the right and left of a sitting area are halls leading to resident's apartments. Before visiting some of the residents, I stopped to chat with quilter Bessie Smith. Her sister, Ruby Pierce, lives there also, and they both love it. I agreed with her.
All residents have the option of bringing their own furniture and other possessions.
They arrange their own apartments as they like. The particularly wide hallways offer room for unique seating areas furnished with extra furniture and accessories provided by the residents. There is a workroom with comfortable chairs and tables used for arts and crafts. And, if residents want to dig in the dirt, they may have their own small garden with or without assistance from the staff. They get involved in community affairs and vote either by absentee ballot or are taken to the polls by staff members if they need transportation.
