My grandma moved in here a few years back, and let me tell you I wanted to trade places with her! Much like Seth Cohen from the OC, I’m an Old Person inside. I love playing bingo and crib and taking short walks, and she got to do all of that! The reason my grandma ended up in the retirement residence was because she didn’t want to give up her independence. They had several levels of care at the Eau Claire retirement residence, but the basic level was that there were caregivers who managed activities and who helped to serve dinner, and then it went all the way up to having a full-time caregiver there all the time. My grandma had her own room with a great view, just off of the bow river. I was always extra jealous of her great location, and she loved to take walks along the river. She could have breakfast in bed or breakfast in bed, and there was movie night among other things. She was well cared for and living the sweet life. I can only hope that when I get to be her age, I will get to live in such fancy digs.
