Spring Oak at Bedford

Carolyn

Spring Oak at Bedford is a huge place with a huge amount of land around it that people can go outside on. They have lots of activities for them to do. They have a beautiful dining room. The food smelled really good. I've talked to several residents there, and they will all say that if you're late for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, they will come and check on you. They seem to take good care of the people that are there. I talked with the director and sales manager, and they didn't press you. They said the one thing they liked about the new company was that they're not into numbers. They don't want to pressure you to come. There are lots of doctors around, and there's a hospital within a few minutes. They will take them there, and there's no charge to take them to a doctor. They have bus trips if they're able to go. Everything else is included in the price, except the phone. They have a hairdresser there, but you've got to pay for that. They have a really nice library and recreation room. They seem to try to keep them busy so that they're not bored. They have a chapel and Sunday services.

We went to the community. We were able to see just about everything. The staff showed us different apartments, and the dining room and went over all the specifics regarding that, the beauty shop, visiting hours, she went over the amount of staff that is usually there, and we talked about the money aspect of it. She went over the medication administration, and a lot of the patients came walking but they stay through hospice. They don't go anywhere else. They just stay there. The staff during the tour was great. Her father lives there and that helps when you know someone who has a relative that lives there. She said that we could come back if we wanted to try the food. They have balconies everywhere and a lot of light because they have a lot of glass everywhere. It's very nice They have a salon and an exercise room because they have physical therapy and occupational therapy there.

The Community used to only be open to Elks members, but it's now open to patients in general. It had a nice small-town feel to it in terms of the staffing. The whole community kind of backed the place with Christmas decorations, so the community members were not isolated and were embraced as a whole. I saw their dining room laid out. It was very well spread out for their tables. It's an older building, so there were some minus features.

I'm in here. I'm very happy with it. I chose it because of the setting. It is out in the country, it has a golf course right beside it, and it is a beautiful place. The staff is wonderful. They try very hard to please and to meet all my needs.
