In this case, I'm referring to the length of time that I have been a resident at Brooksby Village.

Here's a video that Steve took after I had been at Brooksby Village for one month.
What surprised me was that most of my thoughts and experiences were the same as how I feel today, nine months later.
SERVICE
The service is good, if I need some kind of help, I just make a call, and usually someone is Johnny on the spot or they refer me to someone that can provide the service I need.
RESIDENTS
Nine months ago I spoke about the friendly people that I was meeting. Well, that hasn't changed. As a matter of fact as time goes by I'm meeting more people, pretty much every day.
(Oh, if only I could remember their names!)
The other night my friend and I were seated at a table with a couple who had just returned from wintering in Florida. It turns out that the gentleman graduated from Chelsea High School a year after I did! We had quite a chat about the city, school and students that we both knew.
FOOD
While I was "doing all the things that you have to do" before making the "big move' I was under a lot of stress, I just lost my appetite. This continued for a few months. I kept losing weight even though the food was good and people were telling me that new comers get the Brooksby Bulge.
Not to worry, I'm back to normal, enjoying the food and do NOT have the Brooksby Bulge!
VIDEO
Steve did a great job zeroing in on my apartment and the beautiful grounds at Brooksby.
I've made a few changes in the apartment since I moved in.

One recent purchase is an ottoman which will give me a place to put "out of season clothes and whatnots."
MY ADVICE TO PROSPECTIVE RESIDENTS
If Steve asked me the same questions today that he did nine months ago I would say, I feel the same way today as I did then.
Wouldn't change a word!
THANK YOU
Thanks to Steve and Carol for their moral support, physical help, encouragement and love.
I wouldn't be here without their love and caring.
Yes, after nine months, I can say, "I'm very happy living here at Brooksby Village."
