We toured Dulaney Valley Assisted Living at Baldwin. They were very good. They had the stairs, and they had the lift chairs. My father likes to wander on his own, so that's why we were looking for a place that had a room on the one level where he didn't have to do the stairs. The room was very nice. It was not a huge room, but a very efficient room, like a bed, a nightstand, a dresser, and a window to look out front. It was very nice. It was one of those ones where I visited at lunchtime, and it just smelled amazing. They were a good facility. It was really nice, but they had the stairs. The staff member was very knowledgeable. She explained everything. Whatever they were cooking for lunch, it was good. The people that were there were enjoying it. The other thing was that they weren't open yet to visit. If you went to visit, you would have to visit them through the door. You could have a door visit, but you couldn't go inside and visit them. I'm sure it will change in the future, and it's also winter. But the door that we went it, it was a very nice patio, and it kind of had like a farm setting behind it, so that was nice too.

I went to Dulaney Valley Assisted Living at Baldwin. They were getting ready to have a birthday party for one of the residents, so it was a quick visit. They only had ten or 12 residents; it wasn't very large. It formerly was a farmhouse and they had to convert some rooms to accommodate, so it wasn't very big. There was a lot of farmland around it. I thought they might have built something for the residents to go outside and sit on the porch or something, but they didn't have anything like that. The two owners assisted that day, and they were very accommodating because I had set an appointment to be there and they were not informed, but they let me visit anyway.
