Bridgewood Gardens

My dad moved to Bridgewood Gardens. It's very accommodating. They are very personable and knowledgeable about their residents, and everyone is very friendly. It was close to where my dad wanted to live. We checked that, and it seemed to fit all the marks, so we decided to take him over there. Together I walked through and I liked it. We chose to go there. It's a nice and clean place. I haven't tried the food but my dad was quite happy with it. They can play a lot of board games. They have a night where just the men do something. There's a night that's for women to do. They have gardening and things like that. For the value, they appear to be very comparable to other facilities. They might be a little cheaper, which is excellent.

I toured Bridgewood Gardens. It was very nice, but the one I chose is closer to us. I did not like having an appointment at a certain time, and I waited 30 minutes before a lady showed up, and it was not the one I had the appointment with. They had someone just drop in and the person that I was to have the appointment with chose to go with the person who dropped in, but the lady who showed me around was very knowledgeable and very good. The facility was very warm and very welcoming. They had a lot of activities offered for the residents there. I was very pleased with all that.

I toured Bridgewood Gardens. The lady who took us around was very friendly. Everybody was very friendly because we were taking a tour. It was clean, and everything was fine. It would have been okay. It was close enough to our house. However, when we got down to the cost and they called in with the cost on that, I told the lady, I said, save your little time and it's cost prohibitive. It's way too much money. Because it started at, I don't know, 5500 and by the time they did this and that, we have to do this and that. It was like 7000 a month. And I said, "No, we're not doing that." Even five is too high. And so, we talked for a bit and then she said, "Well, what is your budget?" And I said, "Well, I can't tell you my budget, but I can tell you 7000 is out of the question." And she said, "Well, we might be able to find you a smaller room for 4800 a month." And I said, "Smaller than the room you showed us?". I said, "What is it? A closet in a hallway." And she kind of laughed. She goes, "Well, it is smaller." I said, "No, we're not interested." And so that was the end of it. I have no intention to call them back or bring my wife there. It was an older facility, but it's being renovated, and clean as a pin. I have nothing bad to say about the facility or the people who work there. It's just cost prohibitive. It's way too much money.

I went to Bridgewood Gardens. As far as the activities, it was great. They were coming out of a van with a trip they had just made to Walmart. The facilities were very nice. The staff didn't honor our appointment. They took someone before us, so that was a little disappointing. But after speaking with them, they were very nice. The rooms were very nice. I like the one-bedroom, it was very roomy and nice. It was a very nice facility. The staff was great after we met with them. They answered all of our questions

My husband was in Bridgewood Gardens. It was very clean, they had renovated it, it was very nice, and the staff was very nice. They just could not cope with his severe dementia. The rooms are very nice and very clean. They had very good food, and I ate there a couple of times.

We selected the assisted living at Bridgewood Gardens for my mother-in-law. However, after about four weeks, they moved her to memory care. It appears to be clean at first sight, but it can be a lot better on the memory care side. We had to complain about the room not being clean and the toilet being dirty. On the assisted living end, it is always clean, but on the memory care unit, it is not. The workers do a good job, but the management is lacking terribly. The food is basic and nothing to get excited about. Nothing is as good on the memory care end as it is on the assisted living end. The room is just one room with a bathroom. It is clean, and if you complain, they will clean it. It is not filthy, but they have to clean it more than they do. All my mother-in-law does is watch TV.
