Bonaventure of Thornton review
It was so long ago that it is hard to be specific on things, but they respected us and our needs. They were prompt in addressing any issue I had. And he was not there very long.

Bonaventure of Thornton review
I like that the staff is very accessible and friendly. The food is generally pretty poor and luckily mom has a kitchen so she can do some of her own cooking. However, we still have to pay full price for all meals. Staff turnover is an issue but where is it no an issue these days.

Parents are overall happy at Bonaventure
Very friendly residents. Helpful staff. Food is not great.
They have gone through 6 chefs since
My parents have been there. They have a nationwide menu, and do not allow the chefs to deviate from it. So I think they have a super high turnover rate because the chefs get complaints and can't make changes and the corporate office is too cheap to pay people accordingly and give them the freedom to do what is best for their community.
My parents are overall happy at the facility.

Dedicated Staff.
They are a true team there and they work together for the benefit of the residents. They make sure everyone feels valued. They have lots of good options as far as apartment sizes go depending on the need/budget.

They are amazing when they are recruiting then it all changes. The nurses are very nice. They have a care plan in addition to the rent that goes up all of the time without warning. The nurses are wonderful. The directors make promises but do not follow through. We were told memory care gets the same activities but doesn't seem to be true.

Disappointed
I live at Bonaventure and when we first moved in, it was ok and in the last 2 months, it has gone downhill more than ever. Too many new employees coming and going, it isn't consistent. The directors they hire stay for a short time and then quit. This place is dirty and the food is terrible. My wife and I pay a lot to live here and are now thinking we need to move. They promise you all sorts of things when you are looking at the place and none of them are true. I would not recommend this place.

Bonaventure of Thornton review
We would have to give everything a 5 except for the meals and dining, the residents there tell me every once in a while that its delicious but most days it is not. However, what we like the most about Bonaventure is the neighbors, the spacious accommodations and the activities.

Our Experience
My loved one is currently a resident at Bonaventure of Thornton and the overall experience has been good so far. The cleanliness, friendliness and staff have been great. The only disappointment is the lack of staff and the high turnover of staff. Also, promises made before signing are not always met.

Terrifying
[name removed] is beyond unprofessional. I came in with my mom and we were in my grandmas room and I could hear her talking about male genitalia size and even called a resident a bitch. Her nails scare me as I wonder how can she even wipe my grandma with those things. [name removed] was talking about a lady named [name removed] and the manager [name removed] and saying she made google reviews in hopes to get her terminated. Just a heads up. I feel staff is so worked up in drama they neglect the residents to an extent.

Our Experience
My loved ones were previously residents at Bonaventure of Thornton. Kitchen staff turnover was high and the food was not great. Service often took over an hour. There are only 2 tables for 2 in the dining room, my loved ones didn't like to sit with others. The front desk was great, but no communication with upper management. They never even asked why my loved ones were leaving. There was never any communication with the family. My loved ones were in Independent Living. The facility is lovely and well kept with many options for activities, transportation, personal care, etc. There is absolutely nothing wrong with any of it. My loved ones just didn't want to be there.

Bonaventure at Thornton Experience in first three months
My loved one is currently a resident at Bonaventure of Thornton. We felt that we were misled on multiple issues. The turnover rate is high, they have been through three directors in three months and the VP is gone. Communication with the family is terrible. The staff such as med techs, front desk, and restaurant workers are great.

Short staffed/terrible food
From an Assisted Living standpoint, they did an intake assessment the evening that my dad came in and they did not follow through with the services that were requested during the intake that included help with showering and getting dressed. Housekeeping was a disaster. They often came later than the day that they were supposed to come in. One week, they did not come at all. They only did his laundry two times during the month that he was there after asking them multiple times to please do his sheets and towels. One of the times they did it, they put it in the machine and then forgot about it and we found his stuff sitting wet, on top of the machine in the laundry room. The food was over cooked under seasoned and the nightly specials were often something like pancakes or a cold sandwich. The front desk was very friendly, but that's about the only good thing I can say.

I would recommend 'inconsistent care'
The Exec. Director, [name removed] is too consumed with her personal life and chaos that we often are told different things in the same conversation. She sets up meetings, forgets times, cancels and shows up late. My Dad is more confused than ever and I feel like half the info I'm told is false, exaggerated, or I'm not told the correct info at all. They assured us they would be able to handle his confusion and anger/elopement risk and they did not. He is currently in the hospital and in communicating with ER staff, & case workers, I'm being told something from them and something completely different from Bonaventure. Bonaventure told hospital staff dad wasn't taking his meds in over 2 weeks. When they told me he just refuses a dose here or there. When it comes to the cleanliness it looks run down, but overall clean. Kitchen area always has a cart of dirty dishes when I have visited. Staff always seems nice to talk to. As long as the patient is calm and willing to just sit around I'm sure they do fine. But we were told they don't have enough staff to keep people occupied or entertained. I've only seen one meal and it looked like it was a microwave dinner. Not appealing at all, however I haven't seen or heard anything else to make a fair assessment. There was an activity person there and he seemed very involved and excited to work with everyone. But haven't seen him since the first day and activities are not usually happening when I visit so I don't think he even is still there. My dad never got consistent meds, I am the one that worked with his med team, had to go and distract him or calm him on several occasions and I'd he wasn't getting meds, meals, entertainment etc... What are we paying them for? A very expensive bed.

Resort-like Living
The staff is extremely helpful and friendly at Bonaventure of Thornton. The facility is in a great location for walking to shopping and restaurants, if desired. The main entrance reminds me of a high end resort/hotel - very open and inviting and modern. The units are very large and modern compared to other facilities in the area with similar pricing. The meals are good and have options available for those who dislike certain foods or want something other than the day's menu. I would recommend this facility to family and friends.

Freedom to live my life independently, but support available if needed.
I feel safe as I'm no longer "living alone." There are staff members available at all times. The positive attitudes of the staff crosses over to the residents. Every day is a good day.
I am still very independent and continue my life outside of Bonaventure but am always glad to come back home.
