Alden Gardens of Bloomingdale

My mother lived at Alden Gardens of Bloomingdale for 7 years before her passing. My mom was well cared for. All the staff took a personal interest in her. They always talked to her and encouraged her to participate in daily activities. The building was clean every time I came for a visit. The nursing staff did a great job of coordinating her medial care from daily medications, doctor visits, lab test, x-rays, and physical therapy in house. The best part is at Thanksgiving and Christmas the entire staff welcomed the families of the residents in for a special holiday meal. That made me feel like part of the community.

When you come to Alden, you are greeted by the smiling face of [name removed], then met with [name removed] who explains what apartments we have here. [name removed] handles all financial questions. We have the finest nurses and CNAs under the direction of [name removed]. [name removed] who takes care of all work orders. [name removed] and staff do a great job with the activities here. [name removed] does an excellent job in menu planning. He and his staff do a wonderful job. [name removed] is our Director. She, with the help from all of those named above, have kept us healthy and safe. I recently fell near the lobby. As I laid there, I saw [name removed] & 3 CNAs come to my aid. They got a belt and put it around me and told me to put my feet forward. They pulled me up & gave me my cane. I am very thankful to all who helped me. I think that God was showing me and my family what a great place I’m living at! Take it from me, there is no better place than Alden Gardens of Bloomingdale.

The Alden Gardens community is very clean and very pretty. The staff members were all very welcoming. We would certainly recommend this community to other families.

love the bright people friendly sitting areas on the first floor, the openness of the dining room watching the outside while at the right temperature inside. Friendly staff, ready to assist. That was my first impression of Alden Gardens. And i have been here one and a half years, and my first impressions were right on. Now i play cards, bingo or crafts in the bright rooms, or just stop to chat. Before retiring to my cozy apartment.

My first impression with Alden Garden was the well appointed and cozy inviting side rooms. reminding me of sitting rooms at a fine hotel. and the light bright windowed dining room, bringing the outside in, while dining. That was a year and a half ago, and now i sit in the cozy rooms play cards, bingo, or Jeopardy etc. and enjoy the scenery of a snowy day outside while sitting comfortable inside. I give Alden Gardens five stars.

This is a great place, excellent care , cleanliness, food and the staff is very good and caring my mom just came in March 2017 and is very happy plenty of activities she loves it ! that all I could ask for.

Wasn't impressed by them. Sunrise was nicer. They concerned me because it was so close to Lake Street which is the main thoroughfare. It didn't have the elegance that Sunrise had. But it was good, it was nice, it just felt like a couple steps up from a nursing home, for an assisted living community.
