Bellevue Retirement Community

My mother seems satisfied with the bingo and activities, and she’s got good friends there now and everything seems to be falling into place. Housekeeping is on schedule, and around the community everything seems clean, in-place, and in-order. Everything is fine with the healthcare there. Everything is good, I can’t complain.

My father is comfortable there after being there for a year. I think he does go on the bus every once in a while and we’re satisfied with the transportation provided. The activities seem to be abundant, and housekeeping keeps everything good and in order. The entire building is clean and tidy. The care staff seems to be all good and timely. They are there doing what they have to do. I know he is safe, from everything I’ve seen the place is really well-handled there.

We are pleased that she is so happy at this stage of her life. She feels safe there. Her safety and happiness are the two most important things to us. I feel quite confident that she where she should be. She is in a really great place. The management team is sensitive to the resident but also fair to everybody. I think she is quite happy with how things are being managed currently. Generally, she isn't a picky eater and at age 91 she does quite well with all different types of food and can always finds something she likes. She is at her age focused on healthy eating. She likes the fish entrees, and likes the salads and soups. She enjoys the vegetables and so forth. She has a sweet tooth and enjoys desserts. The social aspect of dining is wonderful. I think the activities are well done. She really enjoys the live music or some other kind of entertainment. There have been square dance groups and there is a Catholic mass that is packed every Saturday at 4pm. That is nice they allow them a space to have a religious service. She happens to also enjoy bridge and they play a couple times a week up on the mezzanine. She likes the bingo. I know there are a lot of other extra things like art and exercise classes that I'm sure is wonderful. She seems very pleased with the people that come and clean her apartment. She always knows when they are going to come so she can plan for it.

In the past two years here everything has been fine. Management is very nice, and I’m satisfied with the maintenance people. Housekeeping is excellent, they do a good job. They come and take the laundry and always bring it back nice and clean. They have an excellent chef. The dining and the food is excellent, no complaints. I feel safe here.

The food here is excellent, I got no complaints. Service from the waiters and waitresses is very good. There are a lot of activities going on. I take the bus here to my school. It's really good. Management has been really good, and housekeeping is pretty good. If you need something, maintenance gets it done.

My mom’s room is kept clean and laundry is done. I can’t say I have a problem with housekeeping at all. There was a light bulb out in her bathroom last time I was there and somebody from maintenance was right there to fix it. Any time there is even a small issue I get a phone call, the care staff keeps us appraised on things. Mom is comfortable in her apartment and we’re satisfied with the value she gets.

I am in Independent Living and I can't complain; I do feel safe. The dining is wonderful. The food is great. Once in a while there are things that I don't like but that is normal I guess. The servers are very good and most of them are very helpful. I went a couple of times to the doctor’s office with the bus. It went fine. The building is very nice. Overall, I am very happy here.

The management was very direct and forthcoming and they acted quickly when there was changing conditions. The staff in the dining area was just the best. They knew the residents and what they could tolerate and what they could eat. My mom had a hard time picking from the menu and they were always so helpful with her. There was plenty to do and I was always amazed with the amount of outings that she went on. The housekeepers were always very pleasant and they worked quickly. The people that I encountered were very respectful. The people that worked there respected the residents and it made me feel good that that was where my mom was living. Everything always looked very nice and well kept up. For someone coming from in from outside it always presented very well and it seemed to be a comfortable environment for the people that lived there.

I think Bellevue Retirement Community is a nice place to live. It's basically safe and so on, so I feel comfortable at the community. The food tastes fine, the dining staff does their best and the community offers a lot of activities that are all well received. They take us to the grocery store twice a week; there are exercises programs and different projects for making things, so there is a large variety offered. The housekeeping vacuums our rooms every other week and do as they're told. The maintenance department fixes things once they're broken, so they do as they're told as well and do a good job. With regards to transportation, I'd say it's been very good and I am satisfied with the flexibility of service that is offered. Overall, it's been a satisfactory experience at Bellevue.

As far as I can see everything is good. The girls at the front desk are wonderful and they are there to help. The food and service is real good. Where I sit most of the time I love the waitress. The entertainment is always real good and you can go down to happy hour three times a week where you can sit with people if you want to. There is always something if you can do it or want to do it. Whenever I need a maintenance man they pop right in and do it. Most of the people here are real friendly and even the people that live here are friendly. I don't think I would want to go anyplace else.
