The staff were very friendly. They were very attentive to the residents. The residents seems to interact with them well, a lot were smiling and joking around.

I visited Bridgeview Estates and I liked it. I would go there. I've known people that have been in there, and I've eaten there. The food is good, delicious, and there's a variety. There are plenty of activities for people to get involved with, I've seen the independent and assisted living residences, and the staff seemed friendly and nice. I've met the managers, they were kind, and they had a lot of activities.

My mom has been at BridgeView Estates for two months now. They had an excellent care facility, and their cost was lower than the others. They do a wonderful job. They have a phenomenal facility for $2,200 a month, and everything is provided from transportation to food to cleaning.

Bridgeview Estates has a nice courtyard for us to go out in if we want to. It has several front and back entrances. It has an assisted living side and a rehab side. The rooms are double rooms, although there are a couple of single rooms, but they are pretty expensive. Everything is being taken care of like the food, laundry, and everything. They are understaffed, and it makes it hard for the people who do work here. They need a bath team so that they have specific people to come in and give baths so the other girls can answer call lights. They have an activity director that provides things for us to do like crafts and bingo. The food is excellent.

My mother was a resident for six weeks in the assisted living side. She had recent surgery and dementia. The staff did not communicate her health care needs to each other. She was at risk for falling, yet the staff did not notify each other of this. She developed two pressure ulcers that they did not tell our family about. The staff took between 15 to 45 minutes to answer any call lights. The first time I visited, I walked in walked through the building, pass several workers who did not ask my name or business being there. I didn't know there was a visitor check-in process until I had visited her 4 times! When I visited my mother, I noticed a bruise on her face. When I asked about it, no one could answer. I spoke with the doctor several times. The doctor did not work with her primary doctor about mother's care. Needless to say, we moved my mother to a better facility. The facility is beautiful, very inviting, but when you take the cosmetics away, care is lacking. In my opinion, that's what truly matters.

Bridgeview Estates has acute care, assisted care, and the apartments. It was very nice. The apartments were very nice; we saw the one-bedrooms and the two-bedrooms. All the staff seemed helpful. The food was very good. They had a lot of different activities, plus go out of the facility to go places and do things.

My mom was in Bridgeview Estates. The regular staff was very wonderful and very caring, but the administration was difficult to work with. When we were asking about certain questions for her, the staff was more than willing to help her, but the administration thought that she would be too difficult. The facility was very pleasant. They had a nice dining room, and the rooms were nice as well. The administration called my brother who lives in Idaho and told him that she needed to be moved to a hospice. Some of the difficulty came when my brother said we will take her to the doctor and see what the doctor will say. They said he does not need to, and they will just move her into a hospice. He was not happy about it. He took her to the doctor and the doctor said she was not ready for hospice care yet. I would not put our mom back in there.

My mother was in Bridge View Estates. I didn't like that place at all. The one good thing about it, I guess, was that it had three or four levels of care, and my mom was in the nursing level. The rooms in the senior housing were quite nice. They had a kitchenette, a little dining room and living room combined, and a little bedroom area. They seemed to keep them quite clean. Down where my mom was, in the nursing facility, they were pretty rundown. They changed aides every week; we never got to know an aide, and nobody ever got to know my mom. I thought nobody cared about her. When she was supposed to be fed, those aides would just sit and talk to each other instead of feeding her. As soon as she was through eating, they just threw her back in bed. There wasn't even a TV room or anything that they could take her to. She was just in bed and then ate and then they took her back to bed; there was no interaction. They just kind of did their job and didn't say a word to her most of the time.

It was a wonderful experience with this facility. They took care of my father, and made sure that he had everything he could need. They took him to his doctor appointments, and helped him take his medication.

This facility was very clean, and the staff were very friendly, We stayed for lunch and the food was of good quaility, and the residents we talked to seemed to be pleased with the care that they recieved there. The rooms were kept up, and I noticed that the staff really cared for the residents. Also they have an excellent activities program for the more active residents
