Paramount Senior Living-Bethel

Paramount Senior Living-Bethel was very welcoming. The staff and residents seemed to have a great interaction with each other. The staff was very knowledgeable and wanted to show my daughter and me everything they had to offer. They have outdoor space, like a little courtyard area. They get three meals a day.

My daughter is a resident of Paramount Senior Living-Bethel. She had a bleeding problem, and they took her to the hospital, and they decided that she should go to nursing. She needed a regular nursing place for a while, and then she could go back to Paramount. It's a very clean place and the staff are like family. She said the food was excellent. They saved her life, and what more could you ask for? I think they have a beauty salon. One of the times I was there, I heard music going on in the dining room. They have a nice courtyard.

The staff at Paramount Senior Living-Bethel who gave the tour was very nice, very attentive, and knowledgeable. There were no questions that he couldn't answer. He was not pushy, and he did not oversell the place. He was very objective; he was not a salesman. The rooms were adequate. But there are some things missing like you don't bring your things from home, you instead use theirs. I would not have my bedroom furniture or my sofa, it's all their belongings. I think there ought to be options. You can either use their furniture or bring your own. Also, it was very stagnant. I expected to see some people wandering around and there weren't. It was like walking into a hotel, and there were no people. It was empty. From what I could see, the dining area was fine. In terms of activities, nothing was going on. There was nobody out in the hall and nobody doing laundry, so nothing was going on. The staff though were very nice. They were very adequate.

I compared several places and Paramount Senior Living- Bethel seemed to have the best availability of aides. They have the most aides that are visible to assist my mom. The food is mediocre at best, and sometimes it's really not very good. For the most part, the staff is very good, but it seems that during the evening or weekends they're understaffed. When someone presses their button, it takes a while (sometimes too long), before someone comes. The staff is sometimes hot or cold. During the day they have staff available, but I can see that their aides are understaffed. The nurses there are excellent. They have two nurses in the evening that have been very kind and attentive to Mom. During the day not quite as much, but the evening nurses have been really good. Their amenities are average; nothing spectacular. They have an activities room where they do talks with the residents, they have crafts, and church services. They also have a little cafe with a couple tables and they have free coffee and maybe some food. The residents were all there, the doors were all open, and you could see the residents and aides in the hall. The rooms were sufficient private rooms with a kitchenette and a private bathroom. That's what I wanted. She has a view in her room and can see when the deer come out.

We've been very pleased with Paramount Senior Living-Bethel. The price was good, the facility was good, and they seemed to know their residents. The process of applying was relatively simple. They have a nice activities area where they show movies, and they have a couple nice lounge areas where people can sit and talk and have get togethers, like ice cream socials and happy hour. They have a little cafe type setting where there's coffee, water, juices, and fruits available all the time. They offer transportation. They have a beauty parlor, a podiatrist, a doctor that comes in, and nurses on each floor. It's very well kept, very open, there are a lot of windows, it's bright and cheery, the dining area is quite beautiful, and well kept, with linens on the table, and the food is good. I stayed there for two days to help acclimate my aunt who has Alzheimer's. I was there 24/7 and everybody worked really hard. There was nobody sitting around just chatting. They were very friendly and caring, and went out of their way to come and introduce themselves. She's in the independent care with just some medication management.

The aides are very nice and seem to really care about the patients. So far we're pretty happy with Paramount Assisted Living, but the beds are very uncomfortable according to my father. The place is clean and nice. People there say they like it, and it's a good place with good care. It's one of the better places I've seen. They have people come in and perform on the violin and piano and get a pretty good crowd. It's expensive.
