I thought Bliss Place was fabulous. If I ever get to a point where I need to go somewhere, that's where I'm going. The person who toured me was amazing. I think her name was Katrina. She was kind and considerate. Everybody in that place was amazing. One of the nurses, Deb, talked to us after the tour too.
The rooms were beautiful. They have a room set up for you to come in and see what the possibilities are. They took me to the room that my aunt might be eligible for, and it was amazing. It had a lot of possibilities because it was an empty room. They have this courtyard that has a garden in it with beautiful rose bushes that some of the people can plant. They also have a piano in the common area and a craft room. They're all socially distant so I was appreciative of that. I just can't say enough good things about them.

My father is a resident at Bliss Place in Bedford, Indiana. He is suffering from Alzheimer’s and was diagnosed in July, 2019. He moved into Bliss Place in Nov. 2019. He was ambulatory and actually carried some of his personal belongings during the move-in. The staff was very helpful and communicated clearly what was to be expected of my father as a resident and what services Bliss Place would provide. My father's decline has been rapid. By March of 2020 my father was no longer able to walk. Shortly afterward Dad was also unable to feed himself. The reason I share this information is to give you an idea of the progression of his disease. The Bliss Place staff has clearly communicated my father's decline and needs. The staff is very caring and compassionate. They have always suggested ways to improve my father's quality of life as his health has declined. The struggle that we all have endured with Covid-19 has been tough. For several months the Local Health Department has prohibited in-person visits. The Bliss Place staff understands the struggles residents and families have experienced. They have offered internet video conference, telephone, thru window visits, porch when it was allowed, and now face-to-face visits in a conference room with social distancing and masks. I cannot think of a way the staff could provide a better service to my father. If anyone has a family member needing an Assisted Living Facility the best way to say I LOVE YOU is to have them live at Bliss Place.

Bliss Place had spacious, clean apartments and a good set up for laundry. They did not provide a lot of health care, but they had places in the city where they sometimes sent their residents. The staff was very helpful and showed me one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments, which I thought were quite spacious. You could bring your own furniture. They had transportation to take you to doctors' appointments, grocery shopping, and some entertainment events.

My mother and step-dad were at the Bliss House before. They were all very nice people over there, and I didn't have any problem with that. They were good to my mom, and that was when my step-dad was still alive. My concerns came after my step-dad passed away. My mom's got Alzheimer's, and I was bringing her home with me and letting her stay with me at night while he was in the hospital because I didn't want to leave her over there by herself because she wouldn't stay, she'd cry. I was a little worried because she fell and broke her hip there. She could go back, but I knew that in assisted living their care at night leaves a lot to be desired. They don't have good care at night, and I was afraid that if she fell in the apartment, she wouldn't know how to call for help because they've only got two strings to pull, and one was behind her bed while the other one was in the bathroom. So, if she fell in her living room or kitchen, she was in bad luck, and she might lay there for so long before somebody could find her because they just didn't have enough staff to look in on everybody all the time. She wouldn't go to Bingo; she wouldn't do anything because she didn't want to. They had a nice-sized living room, a kitchen, a big bedroom, and a bathroom. It was a nice apartment. It is not a bad place, but my worst fear was the night care. During the day, they were fine. There was a CNA on the staff, and that was all there was at night, and I am just not comfortable with that. And I have nothing against the CNA. She may know her stuff, but to me they should have at least an LPN or an RN on the staff at night. But, it is a really nice facility.
