Bridge Senior Living

I would not recommend this facility to new families. My mother-in-law doesn't want to move because she likes her room. There have been times when the doctors have prescribed eye drops. It took them more than a month to get the eye drops to her. The staff are constantly on their phones. Turn over of employees is insane. What the staff said when we toured and what happens there are two different things. Also things have gone missing from her room and haven't been found.

Like: close to everything Dislike: nursing staff is miserable to work with. If your loved one has a high level of care we do not recommend this place. Camera monitoring necessary to keep staff accountable but that's an added personal expense. Dislike the high level of staff turnover and not enough staff

It took over an hour to get dinner sitting in their dining room. Worst managed place I've ever seen. And I didn't authorize them to charge my card I was supposed to write them a check but they never asked for the check so they took the card money. I was so angry. And my dad has passed back in [month removed] I have called them repeatedly they won't return my calls they did nothing to help

The Grande has been disappointing in many ways. The care in Lilac Trace which is the memory care unit is not sufficient. Our mother is rarely given a shower nor does anyone help her at bedtime or in the morning with getting dressed. She usually wears the same clothes for days or longer. If she has an accident in her room or bathroom it can take days before it is cleaned up. Therefore leaving fesses on the floor and on her chair, bedding, etc. We were told that an aid would check on the residents every two hours. The only time an aid or nurse comes into her studio is when it is mealtime or to distribute her medicine. No one checks on her after the evening meds are dispensed. We have installed a camera which has given us a little peace of mind. You will start paying as soon as you sign the contract so don’t sign until the you move in. Your deposit check will not be returned but used for the days before you move in. It is pretty, food is good, there are a few good staff members.

They did not do laundry as often as they promised. My loved one dropped food on floor while eating and a day later it was still there. My loved one sat in a wet diaper. My loved one also laid on a bed with no sheets. Had we not lived close and checked often, God only knows the conditions. Sorry to say we would not recommend

The memory care unit is very understaffed and they have a fake calendar of activities on the wall. The residents are put in front of the tv for several hours a day. The short time that they do have activities, the person running them is great, she is just not there for long enough. The residents are bored and act out due to this. All complaints fall on deaf ears, even when sent to corporate. The furniture is old, some broken and smells like urine, carpets need to be replaced. I would not recommend, and have moved my loved one out.

I would probably say to check out other places first.There's definitely not enough Staff.

Improvement areas are responsiveness and care employee attitudes. There is zero clinical backup during the night to assess when urgent needs to escalate care arise. Patients should not have to writhe in pain during the night and have to call family in the morning, who then have to call an ambulance.

My loved one was previously a resident at The Grande at Laumeier Park and overall, our experience with this facility was very poor. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this facility to others.

I liked the staff( not admin) and no , I would not recommend. I would tell a friend, not to put their loved one there. They need to improve on, staffing, and communication between administrators and staff. I could never find the nurse on duty or get ahold of them.

Whenever my mother was ill the staff didn't or couldn't handle her illness. Tests were continually delayed and treatments (meds) were delayed. Also, I found it almost impossible to speak with someone about Mom when I needed them. My calls were not returned. Her apartment was cleaned about every three weeks instead of the weekly cleaning promised. The common areas were very nice. Based off of our experience, I would not recommend them. They were fine when they were the [removed], but the new group just couldn't get their act together. Unfortunately, I attributed some of mom's declined to their lack of attention to her when she got ill.

Very nice facility itself. If you choose it don't expect good service and don't let them manage your medication.The facility was very nice. But he had lots of problems with staff management and his medication service prompting him to nit tho it it was worth the expense so he moved. He did enjoy the attention to veterans and he did say the residents there were great. But several had the same experience as him.

These numbers are based on my experience with Terrace of Chestnut Hill. My mother's feet were so swollen for over a month where she couldn't put a shoe on also, she was never seen by a podiatrist in the almost 4 months that she was there her toenails are like claws. Also I saw a patient fall and the staff just picked the patient up off of the floor and put her back in the chair. Never wrote an incident report.

He fell out of bed when he was here. I took him here and told them I was bringing my loved one with no bed sores and appreciate if they would turn him while I was gone. the aid put him too much to one side and he fell on the floor. He was paraplegic and he was left on the floor. They said because he was in a home like bed he couldn't have bed rails up which meant restraints. I did not think that was very fair. They asked what hospital to take him to if needed and they took him somewhere else I did not have on file. I gave them plenty of medicine while I was gone and they went and bought a bunch of other medicines and then charged me for it. I would not recommend them to others looking.

I thought we found a perfect place for my Mom and Dad, who both needed memory care. We moved them from SC, and on [date removed], after already furnishing two rooms and gathering all of the paperwork, I sat with the director of marketing, to sign the contract. She went through the contract mentioning EVERY cost that was above and beyond the monthly fee, including small fees that were valid and acceptable. When we got to the signature page I signed my name and felt a huge relief. I started to pay the amount for the first month, and AS I PUT MY PEN TO PAPER, She said “Don’t forget to add the non-refundable entrance fee!” It was an ADDITIONAL $[amount removed]. I said right away that she had never mentioned the fee. She was very dismissive, and I quote “Oh, it’s in the contract like....three times”. I spoke with the Executive Director. She was apologetic and promised that she would speak with the corporate office.. Never been able to reach her again. See my other reviews for more.

My loved one lived here and it really started to go downhill. Long waits in the dining room, communication with the family was terrible, housekeeping was only every other week and her room wasn't cleaned thoroughly. I even had trouble getting a response from the executive director when I would reach out to her. We ended up moving our loved one to another facility.

This review is for the memory care side of the facility. I think they need to provide more transparency about the price. The policy that any fall requires the residents to be taken to the ER by ambulance is a terrible policy. My loved one fell 3 times in the first week because they weren't watching closely. Each time the ambulance ride costed $295 each way. That was $1500 I had to spend in the first week. If that kept happening, it would have become even more experience. When I found out about the policy, I immediately started looking at other places. The facility is beautiful, but the upstairs felt like a warehouse. I did not see much interaction between staff and residents. They had a small TV in the TV room and it was old remotes that I could not even figure out myself. All in all it was not a good experience. If your loved on is a vet, please check out the VA home. It is a totally different experience.

This place has gone down hill since 2021. No care for residence. Never enough staff. Residence forgotten, unclean, miss medications, food is cold, dining staff a rude. Rooms aren't cleaned properly. Missing personal items. No longer about the residence but more about getting rooms filled.

When my mother moved in to Summer Village in [date removed], for the first few months, I was pretty happy. I do believe them when they say that Covid has made an impact on things. It has made it hard to keep employees. But, I also just think that the employees don't get adequate supervision. When they're not doing what they're supposed to be doing, either nobody really knows that's happening, or, they don't care. There's just a lot of things - they're supposed to check in on my mother at least once every two hours. There are times I'm there for hours and nobody walks into her room. I've been told it's because they saw me go in and they don't want to interrupt. But I don't like that answer. To me, they're still not doing their job. There are a few employees who seem to just sit around in the common areas all the time on their phones. And I don't really see them doing anything. If you have some extra time, why wouldn't you spend some time with the residents? Color a picture with them, or take them outside to sit in the sun. Numerous times I've come to visit and found there was no toilet paper in the room. I'll tell them, and they say they'll bring some right away. But then I'll have been there for an hour and half, and nobody comes by. So I have to ask again, which is totally unacceptable. So far since my mom has been there, they've had two changes in Executive Director. The gentleman they have now, even though his office is in the same building, I have never laid eyes on. I wanted some special permissions for visitors beyond the usual two that are allowed for her birthday (four total) to have a 20-minute birthday party with my mother. I called the Executive Director 3-4 times, with no response. I emailed him 2-3 times, with no response. That was very upsetting to me. They don't do any activities. They basically just blame everything on Covid. I feel like if you make a big change in the living situation of a person with dementia, they take a step or two down the dementia ladder every time. And she is basically happy where she is. She likes it there and has made friends, as much as someone with dementia can. And I don't want to take her out of that environment.

My loved one fell 3 times in one day, that is not a good record.
