Sandy Coves Convalescent Home

The Sandy Coves Convalescent Home is a location in the Commonwealth in Fallout 4.

Background
Sandy Coves Convalescent Home is a pre-War retirement home situated in Salem on the coast. Although 200 years has passed, the home still feels lively because the Mister Handies assigned to care for the elderly are still performing their duties, even though the residents have long since passed away.

Exterior
The Sandy Coves Convalescent home is facing the shore. The sign of the retirement home visible and lighted by a spotlight.

Interior
The front interior of the building is a reception area with Mister Handy as a receptionist, another Mister Handy can be found patroling the halls. In the reception desk is a terminal that will open a cabinet with a syringer rifle and assortment of chems and stimpaks.

Next to the cabinet are the retirement home residents' safes. Those safes are locked and can not be lock picked. Keys for the individual safes are hidden in each resident's room. The detailed lists of hidden places for each individual key are located in the receptionist terminal with details as follows:
 * Catherine, 205: By her cat bowls (Catherine's key)
 * Edward, 106: Behind his typewriter Edward's safe key)
 * Ethel, 203: Beneath her paintbrush (Ethel's safe key)
 * Margaret, 104: Under her fertilizer (Margaret's safe key)
 * Mortimer, 101: In his favorite boat model (Mortimer's safe key)
 * Randall, 201: Under the mounted deer head (Randall's safe key)

Inside those safes are an assortment of medical items.

There is a specific note about Gladys's activities and entering her room using her key (given by the attendant upon entrance) will reveal that she seems to have gained her skills while serving in the military (combat knife, flag- folded and standing versions, uniform, helmet all in her room).

After venturing inside and back to reception, a group of synths will enter. The greeter robot will attempt to welcome them. The synths open fire on the greeter with the intent of destroying it. The robot attendants will then try to defend the facility but will likely be overwhelmed unless protected by the player character. The greeter robot in particular will almost always be destroyed. Additionally, the synths will target and kill the "enemy presence" in the home which are the various cats (3-5 in number), again unless stopped by the player.

On the right hand side of the reception area there is also a book return machine in which to return overdue books (of which there are a few in the rooms) and spend Book return tokens.

Bugs

 * The window on the second floor just above the entrance is not toned like all the other windows in the cell. You can see low-level quality world through this window.
 * The interior cells are right opposite from the exterior. You enter the entrance from the north, but you face north when looking at the reception desk, straight ahead inside the door, and if you look out the windows they face south, giving you a view of the Prydwen far in the south, if you have gotten far enough in the main quest.
