The demand is so great for these facilities that they are building two additional independent living facilities close to this one. There are also plans for an additional building in 2014 for assisted living.
That sounds like a very nice arrangement and I know of that facility and it is a great place.

The only thing with that is your Mom is not eligible for a guest pass to come to Village pools, rec centers for meetings, or things like that with you.
