New Horizon Assisted Living Residence - Inverness

I have toured New Horizon Assisted Living Residence. It was acceptable, but there was no opening there for my stepdaughter. I have to look for a place that knows how to take care of her. She's totally blind, but she's not totally dependent. It was clean. It smelled clean. There were no terrible odors like urine or anything like that. The rooms were sufficient. The clientele was helpful. It's an older place, but it is a nice place. It is run by people that have been there 30 years. I didn't go into the dining room, but I went past it. It's a nice, big, and efficient room with plenty of space. It is not crowded. It's very clean. The lady that assisted me was very kind. I told her what I needed, and she told me what they had. My stepdaughter did qualify for the Medicaid, and they took that. It is just there was no vacancy. I would accept that one, even though it's older and not real fancy. It's an old established place here in Inverness, Florida. I think my stepdaughter would be happy there. It's also close to us; it's like ten miles away. My stepdaughter also goes to doctors outside the facility, but they have no transportation. If you want transport, you have to pay extra for that. The lady said that they have doctors that go there. That was the only drawback that I had; they didn't have transport services. They have a salon that comes in for hairdos and stuff, and she likes that. They play games. If my stepdaughter's playing bingo, she has someone there that will take care of the numbers and stuff because naturally she can't see. There always is a helper there with her, which is what I cared about most. The one who assisted me was very knowledgeable. She had been there several years, and there was not a big turnover there, which is very important to me. The upkeep was nice. The grounds were nice and neat. There were trees, and the lawn was mowed. Not a bunch of stuff in the yard or anything. It was neat and clean.
