Bedford Residence Assisted Living

I can only speak wonders of Bedford Residence. After several unsuccessful trials with my mother who has frontal lobe dementia and hard to please, Bedford Residence has been an absolute godsend. Unlike so many other living options we've looked at and tried, it is a small family-run intimate setting situated in two houses with lovely trees and outdoor space, very much like one's own back yard, and the atmosphere and care is everything I wish I could have given to my mother myself. There are around just sixteen residents which allows for exceptional service. The dedicated management and staff pay attention to my mother's every need, and my mother who is very picky only speaks most highly of them. My mother's health and morale has more than improved since being there. She is stronger, has a huge appetite and is much more sociable than when she was living at home. Not only does Bedford Residence have wonderful staff on site, they have a great network of physicians, nurses and physiotherapist, also hairdresser and manicurist, who come on a regular basis. The staff pay attention to my mother's every need, likes and dislikes, and have exceeded my expectations in accommodating and caring for her. And, so important, the all-inclusive monthly fee is fair and square.

Touring Bedford, I thought it was very nice. They have 2 houses on the property but I think they would have placed her on the second one for her level of care. I was not a fan of that idea because that house was on the dark side, it did not have many windows did not feel very comfortable. The first house was very nice, and everyone that I met was nice, but it was not the best fit for my mother at the time.

I am blown away by the staff. They are sincerely caring, nurturing and patient. After one week, my father wants to treat them to dinner at a restaurant. The facility provides for several items, which would need to be covered by Medicare. I feel fortunately to have found a facility where I can have my father stay, leaving me without regret, and not break the bank.
