Chapter Three

Third Floor (Figure 7 page 21)

Using the B&C wing elevators (1, 2 and 3), we rise to the third floor. On
the left side of the elevators is a drinking fountain, and on the right side a
restroom. This is true of all floors except the first, where the restrooms

are outside the dining rooms, and floors 5-7, where there are no drinking
fountains.

Directly opposite the elevators is the office of the Retired Officers Corpo-

ration (ROC), which offers a variety of services within its means, scope of
authority, and abilities, and is open to all residents of Freedom Plaza.
Services include but are not limited to: notary public, faxing, Tricare for

Life Express Scripts new order and refill requests, assistance with survi-
vor issues (i.e., death notifications and paperwork), insurance claims and
Medicare selection assistance, wheelchair and walker ID tags and per-
sonal affairs support. They have a paper cutter, paper shredder, staplers,

and hole punches in a variety of sizes for resident use.

In addition, ROC will host memorial services for residents who have
passed away; they host Annual Memorial Day and Veterans Day pro-

grams, provide and maintain all the flags in the community, and have vol-
unteers who visit residents at local hospitals, Plaza West, and Freedom
Plaza Assisted Living. If you need assistance with something and don’t

know where to turn, stop by the ROC office; if they cannot help you, they
will help find someone who can. They are open Monday through Friday
from 9 am to 3 pm. They are closed for lunch from noon to 1 pm and on

major holidays. All ROC services are free of charge. Phone (813) 633-
4467. For more detailed information about ROC see chapter 9. Tune in
to 98.1 or HD Channel 732 for the Freedom Plaza In-house Network on

your TV (FPN).

On with the tour: Turning right or east out of the elevators, you pass the
restroom and the Maintenance Shop/Office on your right and The Club

Room on your left. The blood pressure kiosk is located outside the door
to the Club Room on the balcony.

At the end of this “A” corridor is a balcony, which overlooks the Atrium.
