Review for Holiday Bluebird Estates

I've noticed that many here seem better suited for assisted living-probably around 75% use walkers, and quite a few have aides. It's a caring and friendly community overall, but it feels more like a home for older adults than an independent living setting. I'm here because of some changing circumstances and at the encouragement of family who wanted me nearby. Many others seem to have come for similar reasons

I would definitely recommend holiday Bluebird

I think overall, my mom is finding the people at holiday Bluebird, very helpful and caring. She likes that they meet periodically around the menu and are willing to try different things. I will say that the housekeeping has been inconsistent due to problems with staffing. I think they're experiencing a lot of things that all the communities are right now and trying to get consistency in staffing.

Very nice facility that allows pets.

One of the reasons we chose this facility is because they allow their residents to have pets which I think is really important. And they also had fun and unique activities for the residents. Staff is very helpful and friendly. My mother in law complained about the food, but I didn't think it was bad. The facility is clean and her room was very nice. Unfortunately she is now in an inpatient Hospice facility.

Excellent management

The place is clean and [name removed] and [name removed] ARE ARE EXCELLENT. Could not ask for nicer. My mom on the other hand is struggling she doesn't really like the food and she has no money for an option. She could be just difficult because she likes food with taste and there is not much.

Wonderful place for a loved one

I would give it a 5 for everything! My mother in law is in such a great place! Can't say enough of how wonderful the staff has been! Thank you for doing such a fabulous job in all areas! The staff at Blue Bird estates is very friendly and always have been very helpful to accommodate every need. It was very impressive to the whole family that they stood by my mother-in-law until she was comfortable and had everything she needed to be successful to live there! The facility not only has a great environment but it also is there for the client to be successful and to meet all their needs. A wonderful place to have a loved one!

Staff of Holiday Retirement (Blue Bird Estates)

The staff and worker at this residence was very friendly and answered questions. They were very friendly. The place was very clean and neat. Meals were not being served as it was after breakfast and too early for lunch. The dining area was neat and organized.

Great place to live

They have all the meals and housekeeping included with the rent. Staff are friendly and helpful and the other residents are welcoming. Beautiful place with great views from the balcony. There are also care agencies with offices in the building. Great community for a very reasonable price compared to others in the area.

My mom loves it.

My mom loves it at Bluebird Estates. It's a great place for her, instead of living alone in her house. No need for a car or cooking. Lots of activities. Hair and nails place there. People to socialize with. It really is worth it so far.

Review for Holiday Bluebird Estates

We picked this community, because it seemed to be a good fit and we talked to some residents and they liked it there plus my loved one liked it too. We all still do! It's well kept up. Very nice place for Mom and we would recommend it to others.

Overall A Great Place

We're very pleased with Bluebird Estates. We've been very pleased with their communication with us. Our loved one says sometimes the food is pretty good, other times not. They do have lots of activities. They bring in entertainment and keep the residents involved if they choose to be. We think it's a good value for the cost. The only thing we wish was different has to do with transportation. They do provide transportation, but only during a small window during the day. You have to be back / picked up by noon.

Its a nice place for elderly people who are independent

Everyone at this community is friendly and the meals are very good. The halls are very clean and the staff take good care of everyone. If you ask for extra help they step up and are available for anything that is needed. They are very conscientious and helpful with the residents needs. They have activities like going to the casino and more for the residents. Every morning my loved one goes down and they chat. They have puzzles, a library and card games. There is also an attendant who does the puzzle with all of the residents together in the newspaper.

Come home to Bluebird Estates

I tell people that I live in a luxury hotel. We have a very good activity director and she keeps us very busy. I have told many friends and family about this community. I did this whole thing so that I could be taken care of and that is what is happening.

Long overdue

We chose Bluebird Estates because of the overall appearance when you walk in, it is open and airy, the staff were all super friendly, and they were able to get a 2 bedroom apartment on the first floor. They really enjoy the food that they serve, the residents get a menu a week ahead and they have alternatives if it is something that you do not like. They are able to have visitors for lunch which is something they really enjoy that. If there are any problems they jump right on it. The manager [name removed] is awesome, he will bend over backwards for anybody. My parents are very happy here and I would highly recommend the facility to others who are looking.
