Today will be my 16th day of residing in this beautiful and well managed Independent/Assisted Living Facility. I have met most of the Managers from Barbara the Big Boss down to the low level cleaning ladies and I am impressed of their work ethics, friendly and welcoming demeanor of my presence. In todays blog I will list the various observations I have have experienced during this brief period of only 16 days.
1. The Dining Room during Dinner Time is usually cold. You will need a sweater if you do not want to freeze.
2. There are groups of residents who enjoyed dining together during Meal Times.
3. There a couple of male residents who seat alone by themselves in the same table at the Restaurant
4. Almost all the servers, cooks, cleaning crew are Spanish-Speaking. I found this place conducive to practice my knowledge in conversational Spanish. They know every one names and anticipate your needs.
5. There are several ways going from my Building (Fairmont) to Newtons Restaurant. The nearest and convenient way if you are using a Walker is Via The Garage. I learned 2 other ways just recently, via the Exercise Room and/or Library (more scenic views than the garage but require opening doors/elevators and with steps in some areas.
6. The Food and Service at the Newtons is excellent and indeed worthy of its Five Star Rating, not only in taste, presentation but the amounts of food served. You can have wine ( either red or white) every Dinner time. What I really love about Newton's is the flexibility of eating your meals in your apartment as well as bringing left over of your meals to your apartment for future consumption at your leisure.
The servers anticipate what you want and they remember what you like. For example during breakfast besides the orange juice/coffee you have a fruit variety as a starter. Instead of this fruit variety (melon, pineapple, water melon and an orange slice) I ask my server ( Emilia) yesterday for just slices of oranges. This morning Emilia remembered it and I had my slices of oranges before I even had a chance to tell her. Today, I learned they have yogurt. I ask Emilia for one to take to my apartment. I have feeling she will give me my yogurt before I have chance to ask her tomorrow.
Last but not least is that all the employees in the Front Desk, Managers and Servers in the Restaurant makes you feel at home and that is worth more than gold.
