Williamsburg Senior Living Community was very clean and very nice. My sister had friends there. They have a dining room, and they make two meals a day, breakfast and lunch. When she first started there, she was able to deal with the services that they offered. She was going to lunch many days, and she was still participating and stuff like that. She had a really bad fall. After that, she declined sharply. The food was alright for institutional food. It was pretty decent. The people were friendly and nice. She had friends and neighbors in there. There was one incident that I didn't care for when my sister had maybe two hours a day unsupervised. She called for help. At that point, she had been combative. They took advantage of that and said that she would have to be covered 24 hours a day or find someplace else. I think they should have been more understanding because this is what happens many times when people are going through the final stages of life. It was the illness, obviously. It was just a short period when she seemed to be that way. Other than that, I thought it was very good. For round the clock care, it's not a facility that people should use. If it was normal assisted living or if they have a sitter come in, then it is fine. It is very clean, and they have someone at the desk 24 hours. You don't even need to worry about locking the apartment door because all the outside doors are locked. People must identify themselves if they're coming to a door other than the front desk. It is very safe and is pretty nice as far as the environment and everything goes. The grounds are nice. The apartments are small, but they're nice. They have a little kitchen and a bathroom for handicapped people. It is a nice place to have someone. If they get to the point where they need 24-hour care, you probably either need to have round the clock sitters or move the person to another facility with a higher level of care. In terms of activities, in the beginning, she was participating in some stuff. They would bring animals in. They had some miniature horses that would come in, and they would do it in a community room. They had a reading room and different eating areas aside from the dining hall.

I toured Williamsburg Senior Living Community. I liked the outside, they had a garden that the clients were able to interact in, and you could go out there and sit, read, or you could plant stuff. They also had walking trails. Because there's a bar right next door, and that's young people. So they said that sometimes when they have a band, you can hear it all, and Government Street is very, very busy. The staff who gave the tour was very nice, they came and joined us for lunch and I liked it. The food was really good. They had everything, a game room where they would engage in games. Of the three places that I've visited, this place offered the most for their clientele. It's close to a lot of restaurants on Government street, there's a lot in that area.
