Lakeshore Living

Lakeshore Living was a very old place and kind of rundown. When I first got there when I was walking to the building, the owner came out, and he had been doing manual labor; he was sweaty and not ready really for visitors. He actually kind of forgot that I had an appointment and was coming. That being said, he was very nice. He did go ahead and oblige me with the tour, but they had lost their license. They actually weren’t licensed at the moment, and there were no residents there. I guess there was something wrong with the paperwork like they were late sending in the paperwork, so they lost their license and had to send all of their residents to other facilities, and it disheartened me. David the owner was very nice and willing to show me the place. It had a very different feel, and it wasn’t as community; it was more like mom and pop kind of running a house sort of thing. It was also more of a room and board kind of thing as opposed to the whole community feel. They didn’t have a lot of social activities for the residents. Most of it was playing bingo and TV watching. It didn’t have a lot of privacy like residents kind of; it was like as if you are living in someone’s home. You didn’t have your own place to kind of retreat too. For some people, it would probably be a great place to stay. He specifically asked me if I gave permission for him to go meet my father at the rehab facility, and I specifically said no; I didn’t like that at all.
