Room with a view...and safe harbor...
We are cared for as well as when I was a child
and my mother looked out for me. Though it
was a little embarrassing when care was offered
to me, at 90 years old \'m learning to accept it
graciously. We're fussy, and the staff caters to
our every whim with friendliness."
