our family's experience

Overall experience I'd say has been a 4/5. We have nothing to compare it to so hard to judge. Dad seems to like the place and has made friends and plays cards with them. Although he doesn't take advantage of all the activities, but that's his choice The apartment itself is nice and seems to be size appropriate for what he needs. He seems to like the food, which is good because he's kind of picky. Other than that overall I'd say it was a good choice.

Communication is the biggest issue

Communication is awful, CNA's are lazy, we have to Constantly get on the the staff for updates and care. One time mom was sent to ER - family didn't even find out until the arm band was seen on her nightstand! Some things have been worked on others a "work in progress"

Our families experience

These responses are pretty brutal that doesn't mean I wouldn't recommend them there was a lot of people transitioning while Mom was there too many aids working double shifts. But everyone had their heart in the right place and were working towards a better solution. I very seldom give 10 out of 10 because I always think there's room for improvement even for me I'm a 7-

Review for Bardwell Residences

When we toured Bardwell we were struck by the kind staff, the size of the apartments, and the cleanliness. Unfortunately, they have had continuous turn over of Administration, and have lost some wonderful staff members. While without administration, we dealt with the management company. It became very clear that they are more interested in the money than providing the best care to residents. Several staff members are lovely, caring people who have provided wonderful care, however, understaffing leads to lack of care, especially on the weekends. Some specific examples of problems have been lack of sending up a meal tray, if resident doesn't go down to the dining room, after asking for this to be done. Asking for medication refills with only 1 week notice. Leaving a voice message in an unidentified voice message box and not receiving a call back in more than one day. Pulling the emergency cord in apartment bathroom with no response for 20 minutes on a weekend.

Check out Bardwell; it's worth it.

My mom and dad were some of the first residents at Bardwell. It took a while for Bardwell to hire the right people in administration. They are very good with communication with our family regarding my dad's dementia and plans to move forward. They always have something going on for the residents. The food is marginal, but I feel it is acceptable considering how many different types of tastes are out there. They are as happy as they can be at Bardwell.

A great option for independent seniors

This was not the right choice for my MIL when she was there. She needed much more care than respite or even assisted care. She wanted and expected hospital level care and even the nursing home where we moved her was "not right" with her expectations of care.

Serenity.

The staff and administration make us all feel like family. My dad passed away almost a year ago. Recently I had to drop off the keys to my dad's apartment we found in a box. They all knew me and had great conversations even though we no longer have anyone there.
