Waterford Crossing

On Saturday morning my mom and I visited Green Oaks in Goshen.  It is an independent/assisted living facility that had just opened in the past few years.  It was very nice and had a lot of great amenities, but my mom felt that it was too small for her and my dad.  Today, we went to see Waterford Crossing.  My parents knew people who lived there, and it was on the south side of Goshen which was a lot closer to Syracuse.  My mom liked it right away and I could see why.  The facility was bigger, it had an outdoor area, the rooms were a lot more spacious and the people that lived there were extremely positive about it.  Waterford Crossing felt a lot like Bethany.  I loved that the different areas were named after familiar areas of Goshen - Shanklin Avenue, Linway Plaza, etc.  Another big positive was the amount of nursing staff that they had available as well as the help they could provide when needed.  Overall, it was extremely impressive, and my mom told my dad that she wanted to put a deposit down today since there was a year waiting list.  I ran a check back over this afternoon.  

The rest of the day was a busy one.  I took my dad in to have his bloodwork done at the hospital as his sodium was very low last week.  I also ran to the post office, went shopping for my parents at Walmart, and packed the rest of the items that I wanted to take back to Florida including Cal's beloved Ninja Turtles.  I was exhausted tonight and glad to sit down after dinner to watch Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy and Super Market Sweep with my parents.
