We finished our apartment inspections for the week with one more today. We didn't have far to drive for this one. It is a new apartment in the complex where we used to live in Sarasota. There are two sets of Elders living in that complex. This set of Elders was in a three bedroom unit on a second floor. They are now in a one bedroom unit on the third floor, the same as the other Elders in the complex. They don't mind the reduction in floor space, but they don't like having to lug their bicycles up to the third floor. Their apartment was clean and orderly, so we didn't have much to tell them.
One of their mattresses was not in good shape and probably should be replaced. I told them that I feel badly about having them take everything off their bed, so we can take a picture of their mattress. One of the Elders said not to worry about it; that he only makes his bed because he has been told to do it. He said when he was at home, he never made his bed. Perhaps that explains why many of the apartments are disorderly and cluttered. They are just continuing how they lived at home.
