Bradford Square Retirement Community

I toured Bradford Square Retirement Community. It's surrounded by three freeways and is very close to the road. You can walk outside, and there's a little lanai. There's a sidewalk in the car park. I don't like it at all, it's very noisy. They have clean ground, there's no green area. The apartment was good-sized and has a complete kitchen. Everything looks pretty nice. It was pretty late in the afternoon, and I wasn't impressed because it was so noisy. The staff were very nice, and the facility looked nice. I didn't see anything out of place. They showed me around, there was an exercise room, a movie room, a gathering room, and stuff like this.

We really liked Bradford Square Retirement Community. I was extremely pleased with everything that I saw, and the information that I was given. What I liked the most was that everything is all inclusive in the price, which includes your meals, light housework, and all the activities that they provide. The square footage of the apartments are ideal. It was in the shape of -- it had like a core circle, and then two wings that kind of went off on either side. The entryway was lovely with the fountain, a large dining room, and large movie theater. It was very nice. The staff was excellent, she knew her stuff. I saw all the areas from the swimming pool, to the theater, to the dining room, to the second floor library. Down in the lobby, they had all the little rooms like your computer, and they had a little store in there. Everything that you could need as a senior was all right there.

We are moving into Bradford Square Retirement Community. Everybody there is happy, and my children live five miles away. The apartments were semi-luxurious and complete. The staff is very competent, very knowledgeable about everything that's going on, and they know the name of every single person that lives there. We've been there a couple of times and they look forward to seeing us. The food is very good. The dining area is quite spacious and it's excellent. There's an exercise room. There's a sauna attached to the exercise room. There is a library. There's a pool for swimming. There are plenty of day trips, there's also a beauty salon, and they have a therapy office. They have physical therapists. There's plenty of walking facilities, and there are day trips every single day. We're looking forward to it.

Bradford Square Retirement Community is perfect for me. I have a beautiful apartment. They do everything, and we have everything and anything, so it's great. The food is very good. I haven't been able to go to the dining room because I can't get around too much, so they deliver my meals to my apartment. The staff is fantastic. I have no complaints. We have a gymnasium, a general store, a movie theater, a swimming pool, and a dining room. I have a full kitchen in my room. They have everything when it comes to activities like bingos, movies, horse racing, and card games.

Bradford Square Retirement Community only has independent living. It's all-inclusive, except if you want to add services. I visited over ten communities and this was by far the best. They truly care. We had a problem with the air-conditioner and one of the owners noticed it and he had somebody there in less than five minutes. It's very family oriented and they treat people like their own. The rooms have full kitchens, washers and dryers within the units that are very easy to operate, and grab handles in the showers and in the bathrooms. They have housekeeping that comes in once a week to clean their rooms and change their linens. They have many, many services that are available. The rooms are very well kept. They have lanais, so they can sit outside and at least get some fresh air, and they have doors throughout the community, so the residents can walk outside. Their screening process is thorough, but simple, not to make it difficult for people to visit their loved ones and for them to be coming in and out. There are three meals a day and they have the option of having their meals in their room or having their meals in the dining area. Right now, because of COVID, they have a salad bar, but they have somebody that's serving them and anyone who has difficulty or anyone who can't carry their plate, they carry that to the table for them. They ensured socialization. When I walked through there the residents were always waiting for dinner and always out there talking. They have a soft serve ice cream machine, and they're all sitting out front eating ice cream. By the end of the short visit, the concierge woman knew my name. The staff is fantastic. They also have on-site managers that live there themselves. They respond to calls for help 24/7. They work in the office, they know the residents, the residents know them by their first name, and they actually live the experience themselves. They're younger, and they're fantastic. They eat the same meals as the residents do, and they have the same amenities as the residents do. There's variety in the food, and it's good. They take care of people who also have dietary needs. The facility is very good. It's like a cruise ship. My mother has been playing bridge, and they've had plenty of activities. It's a good community for somebody who's semi-independent or independent that has family members who don't live in the general area that can't visit them on a regular basis. They offer services there, and if you need something, they help you find it, whether it's groceries or medication or whatever. They go above and beyond.

We were very impressed with Bradford Square. The apartments were very spacious and pleasant to walk into. They were not small and dingy. They were quite open, lovely, airy, and bright. I saw people in the workout room and there were people all over the place walking around. It was a very active community. They have a card room, a library, and a lot of activities for the residents. The staff members we met were very cooperative and proud of what they had there. They asked us if we had any questions and were always willing to answer us. They're very delightful people. We had a lovely luncheon and dinner there and it was top-rated. It was very nice.

I'm at Bradford Square Retirement Community. Everything that was promised was delivered. It's a very nice place with friendly people. They have cards, Wii bowling, movies, bingo, different kinds of games, an exercise room, a fitness class, water aerobics, and healthcare people coming in. The food is very good and there is a lot of good choices. My room is very nice.

We visited Bradford Square Retirement. It's very nice, but it's not for us. The staff was very nice. They have a nice list of activities. It's expensive.

We will be moving my mom to Bradford Square, which is brand new. They had friendly managers, and they're very accommodating for residents who want to take their meals in their rooms. There's no requirement that you have to eat in the dining room all the time. They have really friendly staff, a great location, and great views from the rooms. The pricing was comparable and competitive. They have great amenities, and it's right around the corner from where I live. It's more like resort living than assisted living.
