I toured Gentry Park Bloomington. I think the staff is helpful. We were able to see all of the community areas and some of the private rooms. The rooms seem spacious, nice, and have high ceilings. It seemed very clean and modern. They can take you outside the community, they have several things inside the community they bring in, of course with COVID, that's a little bit less right now. They have a workout area, and they have workout activities.

We went to Gentry Park Bloomington. They were great. We just walked in. We didn't have an appointment or anything. Sarah, the director of activities, actually gave us a quick tour around the facilities and showed us one of the models that they had opened. We were also looking at the one-bedroom there. What we liked about there is that some of the one-bedrooms are on the outside of the building and have exterior entrances. My grandmother would have a front door that we could kind of drive up and just go straight into her room, which is cool. It was also super new and modern. They had a ton of community spaces. They had a theater room and grandma could go to church in the morning if she wanted to. They had a lot of cool activities. It felt more like a campus there, which is kind of neat. We enjoyed it. They didn't have the director of sales in there when we were there, but she called me this morning and sent me an email, too. They were very quick to communicate. The staff during the tour was great. I don't think she normally does tours. I think she was just one of the people that were there. Everybody there was super helpful. People were eating by that time and it all looked good. It smelled really good, but we didn't eat any of it while we were there.

I went to Gentry Park. It would be a great choice. It was a little bit pricey, but it has assisted and memory care, and they had separate little houses. The staff was great, they had lots of activities, a great rehab room, the dining room was more like going somewhere else and eating, and the menu was excellent. Everything there was excellent, but it was pricey.

Of the places I visited, I liked Gentry Park Bloomington the best. I liked the design and the way it was put together. It was not deary. I liked the director. I got a good feeling about it. The rooms were nice. They had a physical therapy room and activities. It had a nice natural area around it, which I liked.

My sister is moving to Gentry Park within 3 weeks. Our ratings reflect our impression of the facility and may change once my sister has lived there for a bit.
The facility is fairly new and in good physical condition. The food options seem surprisingly to be very good; the residents are able to tailor their meals to any dietary needs (diabetics/sugar intake, heart failure patients/salt intake, and possibly Kosher meals - not yet confirmed). This has not been the case at many of the complexes we have visited, and certainly not at my sister’s current home. The apartments in the main building are smaller than expected and are tailored more to assisted living residents. There are cottages, with well thought-out floor plans and lots of light. All residents have an emergency pendant (this appears to be standard among the facilities we have visited). My sister is moving into a one bedroom cottage, which has its own full kitchen. A certain number of meals is included in the lease fee and are available only in the main building; beyond that food is the responsibility of the tenant. Various food options are available throughout the day, but I believe are charged to the resident’s account. Housekeeping is provided weekly, and we are told any maintenance needs will be promptly addressed. Again, remains to be seen. Garages are available between the cottages but there is a substantial extra fee. The grounds are not extensive, but are very attractive and have a good walking path. There are many cultural advantages to Bloomington: an excellent music school at IU provides the public with many classical performances; drama & theatre departments provide plays and operas; and so on. The YMCA is at most 3 miles from the facility, with a large pool and many available classes (water aerobics, balance classes), etc.
This facility is head and shoulders above the 8 other facilities we have visited.

The apartments at Gentry Park Bloomington were excellent. They showed us around and we were impressed. The place has just what we need. Their dining area was also fine as well, we saw some of their exercise facilities, and the home theater that's a worship area as well. The staff member that showed us around were very good, the grounds are more than adequate. Everything is very well-maintained inside and out.

Gentry Park Bloomington did an outstanding job with us. When we got there, they had a picture and welcomed us, and they sent us several different things. They conducted the best interview of any of the ones we visited. On the hill, they have independent living, and in the center building they have the next step-up. The staff was delightful. They still call us and even sent us a bouquet. They had an activities director and an activities room where they do knitting and crocheting. They gave us a pie and it was delightful. If we were going in their independent living, we would have to stay on one side, and there's a big four-lane highway that's really close there. We wouldn't want to stay on that side because we'd get too much noise from the street, but still, their facilities were outstanding and all new.

I went to Gentry, and it's brand new and super clean. However, it was too new in some ways. When building the place, they took down too many of the trees and plants, so it's a very bare piece of land. The person who showed me around was extremely helpful and informative. The cottages are extremely nice, but they're not really meant for one person or even a couple. Even though they said it's a 2-bedroom, the second bedroom was very tiny, and more for a person who would stay overnight. The rest of the rooms were enormous, it's wonderful, and easy to get around with a walker and a wheelchair. The amenities were brand new, very nice, but the people weren't engaged. They had guys sitting in the TV room watching a game together, the library was open, but there was nobody in there, and the art room looked like people used it earlier. I went in the dining hall, the food seemed to look and smell good, and people were eating, talking, and seemed happy about it. It was a more folksy environment.
