The Layout of the Building
As you can see from the layout of the building, it is a bit like
a figure eight, encompassing two internal open-air patios. By walking
the inside corridors around the core of the building, preferably
on an upper floor, takes you over 1/4 kilometer. This way,
by doing several circuits you can get a good walk entirely in doors.

Right now is Christmas time, so almost all of the residents' suite
doorways are crowded with Christmas decorations, like Santas, teddy
bears and other Christmassy stuff. If you are doing your daily indoor
walk, it will be filled with joyful expression. Here are some examples.
Hallway decorations
The current resident population is around 170 with a maximum capacity
of around 180. Right now there are some vacancies — an unusual situation
at this location. Average age? That is probably around 88 years.
