Blue Bell Place

We’re very happy with it! it’s spotless and I’m there all the time. The only down side is that the food isn’t really great so if your loved one is very picky eater or if they really had their heart set on gourmet food, that could be a concern. It’s perfectly healthy food, just more home cooked.

My overall experience with this place has not been very good. The facility itself looks nice and the aides are all very friendly, however the care my loved one has been receiving feels sloppy and hasn't inspired much confidence. There have been mix-ups with the frequency of her meds, and she keeps being served dairy despite me telling them she is severely lactose intolerant. Also, I'm really not a fan of the doctor that serves this community, he really is not on the ball at all.

Blue Bell Place is an excellent assisted living and nursing facility. We looked at several locations in the area and Blue Bell Place far exceeded the other properties we visited. The staff is very friendly and our Mother has a large menu to choose from for all three meals. They provide many activities during the day and after dinner which keeps our Mother active and involved. The building is extremely clean and well maintained and there is a private garden for the residences to enjoy. Blue Bell Place is dedicated to the residences to insure their health and safety.

We toured this community when we were looking into care options for Mom. This was a nice looking place, and the staff all seemed very friendly. However, as per their assessment Mom would have been placed in the memory care unit. We did not feel like she was at this level yet, and would not have her social needs met in that sort of environment.

We're very pleased. They do have some activities, they are kind of limited in content, the calendar is full, but what they are able to provide for the type of patients they have is limited becase the people can't do very much, my loved one is probably one of the stronger mental capacity patients they have so he gets a little bored but they have to hit the middle of the range with the patients they have. The food is good. The only thing I see a little bit weak is the communication Sometimes it's hard to find a staff person, they are all so busy, they are helping people. To get in and out you have to push a code and the bell rings and I hate to bother them but you have to bother them to get out. Just to ask some questions, they are just so busy and I hate to bother them, they are doing what they are supposed to be doing. if I do ask a question they are very good at what they do. There is a little gap in the communication but it's very minor. We are kind of new and sometimes it's hard to find the right person or any person because they are all so busy and doing their jobs. They are extremely helpful and extremely friendly.

A good place for an unusual patient. My wife with dementia broke her hip and needed a place for rehab in a secure memory care unit. After searching among several options, I found this to be a good choice. The staff is knowledgable about the care of dementia patients, and the facility is attractive and comfortable. The marketing staff was especially helpful in explaining the routine and the program then intended to follow. There were no surprises, unlike other places we tried.

I was very impressed by this facility and the staff. The facility was clean and 'homey'. I was particularly impressed by the size of the room and the decor in the memory care unit. Additionally, I was invited back to visit, participate in crafts, etc. and/or to have my parent utilize the respite care component! I loved this location and it remains high on the list of possibilities.

I was really seriously considering them for a respite stay for my mom because they were on the bottom floor with courtyard access. The director there was kind of so-so. Then he told me they didn't have anything available anyway but he would call me a month before I needed it and let me know either way. I never heard from him.

I wouldn't have any problems giving them a 4. There is nurse that doesn't communicate well, but the aids that are there, the ones that take them to the living room and feed them, who are really taking care of my mother, they are fabulous. The amdin has been great, I've talked to the higher ups and they're great. I go to Eileen who is very helpful, everyone above that one nurse is fabulous. The staff is all very nice and very caring. I've shopped around and the cost is great, I do wish they would encourage her to walk more and be able to be more varied with the kind fo food they're giving her. The have her on pureed food and they can't switch to solids when she can eat them. That's their policy, I don't know where it comes from, if its state regulation or what but I do understand where they're coming from. I haven't seen alot fo activities, I go at dinner time, but I've seen them bowling and doing a music thing, they were having a good time.

Nice, homey atmosphere. Very clean. Staff was friendly and residents seemed happy.
