I recommend your care homes to everyone I know facing the same issue. From the moment my dad entered Arbors, we as a family could breathe. My dad was at peace, no longer afraid of the children he didn't recognize. Each of us spent lovely hours with my dad outside in the gardens while he talked about his dreams for the future when he was discharged from the army. We got to know him as a bright eyed 19 year old. The Arbors gave us that.

Cleaning staff there is scarce. Dad asks to go to the bathroom and it can take over 20 minutes and by then he is wet. Dad is happy with the food. For activities, Dad is very active dad does things we never thought he would do. We are paying over 15k. Hygiene should be excellent and no wet diapers.

I looked at a lot of places before choosing the Arbors and decided to go there because the staff seemed happy and engaged with the residents. It's been a year for us and I'm pleased with this decision. My mother often gets one-on-one attention from the activities staff and everyone knows her name. They are communicative with me when she runs low on supplies. I've worked with the nurses to help her with special medical issues, with the activities staff to make sure they know how to engage her in activies she enjoys, and with the caregiving staff to make sure they know how to care for her the way she needs. They all love my mom and it makes me feel good that she's there. The food looks a little meh but better than at other places I looked at, and she always gets a choice between two meals.

About a year ago, my sister was welcomed by the Arbors of Bedford. We knew as a family that we had chosen the perfect place for her to live, be loved, cared for, cared about and to thrive! She has had a long journey with dementia. The team is amazing, friendly, helpful and kind, the love I witness with every team member is extraordinary! The physical space is beautuful and comfortable, with outdoor courtyards, flowers and birds! Whatever your needs are for your loved one, this team will make happen. I have attended activities with her that are fun and always make me leave with a heart full of joy! I am so grateful to this extraordinary home and it's team, it assures me that there are angels on earth I have had the pleasure to meet and come to know! Kudos to the Arbors of Bedford, we LOVE you !!

I am very pleased with the excellent care my sister receives at Arbors. She was admitted during stressful circumstances. I can’t say enough about how well her transition was handled to her new home at Arbors. Her medical doctor, her behavioral health doctors, and the staff at Arbors worked tirelessly to create the circumstances where [name removed] could thrive. During my visits when we walk through the different neighborhoods, staff always call out her name and say hello. I feel she is a valued member of the community, and I am always warmly welcomed as well. I am forever grateful to Arbors for taking such compassionate care of my sister, and to A Pace for Mom for helping me find Arbors.

My mother was at a different facility and the care there was less than adequate. I moved her to The Arbors and the care has been above and beyond of what she was previously receiving. The entire staff is friendly and keeps you well informed of everything going on with your loved ones.

I would definitely recommend the community. I think the staff there is very kind and try to be as accommodating as possible. My parents would prefer more frequent housekeeping services and more flavorful foods.

Where to I begin to express our gratitude to the entire Arbors of Bedford staff?!!! Our loved one was a resident for 5 1/2 years..let's back cup...my father was there until 2008...spring forward to 2019 when our aunt was a resident. In the meantime at least two or three of my father's nurses were now taking care of our Aunt. It tells you of the loyalty of the staff. Everyone takes their responsibility seriously. You can trust your loved one being well taken care of day and night. Their enthusiasm, love and compassion was at the utmost. After she passed I was missing the staff. Arbors also brought us joy and made a difficult disease so much easier. There is love, laughter, fun and sympathy. We are forever grateful. We have always recommended Arbors to others in our community as they deal with the decision to place their loved one in a residential facility.

I considered all the staff angels. My brother was a handful and would become argumentative with everyone. He was treated with dignity and kindness. I highly recommend Arbors of Bedford to other families.

The staff is very good and informative. My sister can be difficult at times and they were up to the task. Now she is insisting on going back to her condominium and the arbors staff are working with Lou to get her ready. My thoughts are that she should not go home.

My husband gets better care at the Arbors than I was able to give him at home, and it gives me peace of mind knowing that he's safe and watched over 24/7. The people, from reception to the nurses and aides, call him by name and know where he is at any time of day. There are eyes on him wherever he chooses to roam. They have made him feel at home. They know his likes and dislikes and treat him with respect and tenderness. They feed him, clean him, dress him, and put him to bed at the end of the day. He knows they care and responds to them accordingly. He even gets his nails trimmed and a haircut every couple of weeks. The building is clean and easy on the eyes. I got a warm fuzzy feeling the first time I walked in and was greeted by Maggie, the friendly house canine. The residents enjoy having a pet around, while the care and feeding is done by administrative staff, and she follows them wherever they go. And the food is good!

We are very happy with the care my mom is receiving at the Arbors. The staff members are wonderful. They are warm and so caring in their interactions with my mom and other residents. We see them hugging them and trying to make them laugh all the time. It makes us feel so much better knowing she is in a place where she is looked at as an individual, shown compassion and respect, and included in so many activities and opportunities for socializing. We knew the minute we stepped foot into the Arbors that it was the right place for us!

I love the Arbors of Bedford! My mom is very happy and all of the staff are caring. They LOVE my mom. She spends the day laughing with them. She gets tons of hugs. The staff is responsive and caring and pays attention to what she needs. I have full confidence that she's getting all that she needs, and also what she would have wanted, had she been able to choose for herself.
