I visited this facility

We went to Moldaw Family Residences. It's founded by a Jewish group and 70% of the people living there are Jewish and 30% are others. It's in conjunction with a Jewish Community Center, which is on the same property, which is good, because they have two pools (an indoor pool and an outdoor pool), and one can take classes there. There's a synagogue where people who live there can go to services. We looked there and we loved the unit. But friends of mine have said, 'Oh, I don't think I would …

There is also a dedicated Alzheimer's wing. One of the best features is the proximity to the new JCC with pools, exercise classes and a world class fitness center. Plus, it's 10 minutes from downtown…
