Meals at the Assisted Living

Grocery stores scare me on the weekends. Not only because parking is rare, but the parking lot is in chaos. I can’t see who is watching me or whether I am being watched and this is a case nowadays. With the economy is disrepair, criminals rob customers as they approach their car, leave their car, and watch customers leaving the grocery store. For a thief who hasn’t eaten all day, a gallon of milk and loaf of white bread would seem like a gourmet meal if only the thief could get away with the steal. I wait to shop with my family during the middle of the week, especially since I had a terrible experience with the parking lot one Saturday. My wife and I went to the grocery store close to our house and there was no parking. We drove around the lot in circles. When the parking lot was built, the community was small. Now that developers have built apartments and shopping centers around the parking lot, there is no parking. So we turn our car and literally enter the freeway to drive forty minutes away to the same store at a location with less traffic. There we find plenty of parking.

The Assisted Living center has a tray service. If you are sick, the cooks will deliver breakfast, lunch, and dinner by tray to your bedside table.

The Assisted Living center has a delivery service to the shopping center. No worries about parking, pick up, or delivery. If you need to go to the store, the drive will take you to the front door.

The kitchen cooks for you. No washing dishes. No preparation. No worries about buying sugar, storing the sugar away from pests, and dropping cans filled with tomatoes on the floor. I am a klutz when it comes to dropping pasta sauce on my foot. I think it has something to do with my work around the computer. Using a keyboard and computer mouse has left my hands free. The freedom to open and type doesn’t use my gripping. So a large metal can filled with flavor that I throw into pasta noodles like thin Angel Hair strands tends to slip easy. The Assisted Living cooks prepare food around the clock in the kitchen. They know their audience. The food is filled with nutrition.

Ice cream. The Assisted Living center has an ice cream bar. Care for a frozen desert, the sweet cream is ready, frozen, and available whenever you need a sweet snack. How many times does a person run out of ice cream at home? How many times does the ice cream melt before the bars and cartons make their way into the freezer? These worries vanish with an ice cream bar serving up soft cones with various flavors like chocolate, vanilla, add sprinkles or cherry sauce.
