My mother will be moving into Bell Oaks Place. They have caring staff and are inviting and informative. They promised a high level of care for my mother. They have activities, but I didn't get involved in that. They have physical therapy, a dining room, and an outside space. The rooms looked nice. The person I interviewed with was great. Upkeep and cleanliness were very good.

I went to The Arbors at Bohemia. What I liked best was the cost, and it was a big thing. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the staff said they preferred people to be able to move independently, which I can do. I'm sure I'm not going to be able to in the future down the road. It kind of left me up in the air. The food was OK, but it wasn't wonderful. Not that I expect it to be wonderful, but it was a frittata. To me, it could have had more flavor. I've had them many times and usually they have a lot of flavors. This one was kind of bland.
They had a lot of activities, and they had a lot of people who are social. One of the things that bothered me was that I saw people sitting in common rooms who were looking blank and who looked mad. I wondered because I didn't see any aides around, and yet they said that you would have aides if you need them. The person who took me around was very friendly and very knowledgeable. I love the room because it had a balcony with a screened door opening, which was very convenient to me because I have a ride-on chair.
The other activities seemed to be fairly well rounded. I don't know how many people were attending them because we didn't go to too many things that were going on. I'm sure some were well attended and some were not so well attended, but there seemed to be a fair variety of activities for everybody.

Arbors of Bohemia is a very intimately run facility. Staff and residents are very friendly. There are endless activities for the residents at the facility, plus planned activities off grounds. The place is kept extremely clean, as well as the residents private rooms are kept clean by housekeeping. The private rooms are the perfect size for those who room alone. A varied selection of food for every meal. I couldn’t be happier placing my mom there.

The Arbors at Bohemia was a nice location. There wasn't heavy traffic on the roads right around it. It was all on one floor and it seemed to be a nice setup. John was very nice. I believe he said that he had been there for about 15 years. Even if I didn't choose his facility, he was still willing to sit down with me and go through things that I should know about this process. The place was also kept up very well, including the grounds. Then they have somebody that comes in a couple of days a week for beauty care and there's quite an extensive list of activities for the residents.
Provider Response
Hi Paul Thank you for the kind words. I have been in assisted living for many years. Searching for an assisted living is an important decision for the family and resident and if I can be a resource to a family at this important time I feel it is a privilege to help them.

We found The Arbors at Bohemia clean. The person that took us around was wonderful; she knew her stuff. The rooms were beautiful; they were affordable. I really thought that would be a wonderful place to put my mother-in-law. The unfortunate part about the rooms is that most of the rooms that were in her price range you had to share. They were large, but to share a room at that age when you're used to living alone was another problem. It was a lot of sharing. What I liked the most about the Arbors was that everything was included. It was like a cruise ship, like breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and happy hour. Everything was included.
The facilities were really well kept, they were not overcrowded, and they were clean. There was nothing that I saw that was broken down or needed any fixing. They didn't just take us to specific rooms, they took us throughout the whole facility, and there was nothing out of place, and everything was done nice. The place was very small and much quieter. There were less rooms, but it was one level, which is nice. It was small, clean, and it was run nicely. It was very hidden and it was hard to find. It is in a residential area.

Allison thank you for those kind words.We do like when families share their experiences, it helps others that are in a similar situation.I would be happy to be a resource for you in finding other options that may be out there for mom.

The residents looked happy. It was all on one level. I think it's definitely easier for the residents that way. I was able to see everything. The rooms were very nice. It was very clean, and everything was very well taken care of. I saw music and singing, and I learned that they have other things as well.

I toured The Arbors at Bohemia for a loved one, and it looked like a great place. The location was good, and everything looked fantastic. It was clean and the people were friendly.
It looked spacious. I spoke to a couple of residents, and they said that they have been enjoying the experience over the last three years, and the staff was very helpful.
It has spacious and versatile indoor and outdoor spaces.

I saw The Arbors at Bohemia a couple of years ago, and I really liked it. So far, whoever calls me from there is very polite, nice, and willing to help if I need. It looked very good, but I haven't personally had to deal with anything with someone being in there yet. The staff in charge and the woman behind the desk were all very nice. The place was clean. The overall appearance was comfortable, homey, and cozy. The rooms were good size. I didn't meet any nurses. I only met the front lady and the gentleman from the back office, but they were very, very nice.
Provider Response

I toured The Arbors at Bohemia for my mom, and I can say that they were very welcoming. They gave a fantastic tour. They showed me every component of the facility. They let me know about available activities, the amenities, the different ways we can visit with my mom while she's there, and I was very pleased. They have an outdoor barbecue area. They had a game room, they had a beauty salon, and they were able to do day trips. They have a family room that you can sign out and have dinners with your family, either catered by the facility for a charge, or you could bring food in from the outside. It was very clean, and the staff was all friendly and outgoing.

My mom is a resident at The Arbors at Bohemia. Placing a loved one in an assisted living community is a difficult decision that I faced three years ago. Now I can say with certainty, it was the best decision. The staff at the Arbors go above and beyond to welcome residents into the community. Because it is a smaller community, the wellness department can address the individual needs of each resident. During visits, I am able to watch these ladies perform their duties with patience and care. The staff has become part of our family, and that is what makes being at The Arbors like being home!

My dad moved into The Arbors at Bohemia. What I seemed to like most was it's all one level for him. He has a vision problem, so going up the elevator would be difficult for him. He has a back door to his room, so he gets to go outside in his lounge chair and enjoy the outdoors, which he loves. Everyone that works there is very friendly and nice, so he's been very happy with his care. It's very clean, very nice in and out, and they always decorate it for different events or holidays.

Great facility, good caring people. My mom feels very much at home here. I would highly recommend considering this for your loved one. Room is very comfortable she has everything she needs. Staff is interactive and knows mom well. Mom enjoys most activities.

My mother-in-law is now at The Arbors at Bohemia. I love it. We're very happy and I think they're great. It's like a big living room, but it's not overly fancy. It's very nice, with couches, chairs, a beautiful dining room, and shared and private rooms which are also very nice. The staff is very pleasant, accommodating, and patient. I think the food is great and they have nice choices. I haven't tasted the food, but we've seen how it's laid out and what they serve, and it's very nice. They don't charge you by the levels; it's one rate. My mother-in-law is in a wheelchair so she needs help and they're very great with that, plus she needs medication help and they take care of that. They have an activity going every hour. I would definitely rate the staff with a five. They're amazing. And the facilities there are good, so we're happy with that.

I was very highly impressed with The Arbors Bohemia. The staff was wonderful. The facility was very clean, kept up very nicely, and I was very happy with it. They had arts and crafts, lectures, and movies. They had a nice array of various activities for the people. The outside grounds were very pretty and had a vegetable garden that the residents took care of. There were lots of flowers around. They had a beautiful lobby and the bedrooms were lovely.

The Arbors wasn’t as nice, but it was a more reasonable place. They said that they provide a lot of activities, but I did not witness any of them. The rooms were very nice, very clean, and small, but they were nice. Their common area was quite nice as well. I liked that it’s one level, my aunt prefers a one-level, and it’s more reasonably priced than the other place I looked at.

My mother’s sister is at the Arbors. It was very much like a nursing home, and it didn’t quite fit my mom who was a little bit independent. The people in there needed a little bit more attention. The staff was great, accommodating, and we had a wonderful time. I think they did a fabulous job with my aunt.

I liked The Arbors at Bohemia. The rooms were nice. The grounds were beautiful, and they had gardens and fountains. The residents were actively engaged in a musical program that they were having when I was there. The woman who took us around was very interesting.

My husband's mother got put in The Arbors, and they're very compassionate people and taking care of her right now. The staff are all very pleasant. It is a very clean and nice environment. They can improve on just having more options in terms of care for the elderly.

The ambience at The Arbors was nice. The facility was decorated, clean and neat. It was also safe. All of the staff was excellent. They also have an RN available. At the time of our visit there, activities were ongoing. As a whole this was a place you would want to go if you needed to go. However, things were not accessible as easy as I would have liked. I used a cane and it was difficult to get around this facility. There were long distances to get from place to place.

The facility itself is clean, beautiful and warm. They are always getting new furniture, putting in new gardens and updating existing areas. They have many activitites that keep my mom engaged; we never find her in her room. The personnel are all friendly and genuinely care about the residents. Any concerns we have are addressed immediately and the communication between the staff and the family (us) is very good. The main thing is that mom is happy and well cared for in this facility.

My mother has been here since December. It's very nice and clean. They have a lot of activities. The people there seem to be pretty nice with the my mother and the other residents. The main part is that they do have a lot of activities so they're not just sitting there all day long doing nothing. She plays bingo and all kinds of games, they have current events, they even take them to dinner. This place seems to be up on that.
When we first put my mother in the room, there was a strong urine smell. We kept telling them and they kept telling us they cleaned it. After our complaining, they finally determined it was the carpet. They changed the carpeting and we got satisfaction from that.

Though I haven't heard the best responses about other Arbors, the one that I am writing this review about was actually really good. As a niece, I was happy that my family was in this place. It seemed that they enjoyed the activities, the cleanliness of the facility, and even her roomate. Because she seemed ok, I made me feel better and let me know that I could depend on the staff to take care of her like family. The only complaint that I didn't like hearing waS that the food was sub par and not appetizing. However, considering what could go on in a facility, that is not the worst complaint by far. Something that I did not like about the facility when I was there was that her room was a little small, but I understand that there are many people that have to live there so there is a limit to what can be done. I enjoyed visiting her, as much as possible, I just wish that we had more privacy. SOmetimes it felt that visitors were bothering other residents and staff by just being there with their family.

My Grandmother spent the last two and a half years of her life staying at The Arbors and she seemed relatively pleased with the facility. We had a lot of trouble finding somewhere she was comfortable staying after she had a very bad experience at a home that has since closed down. At The Arbors, they had many fun activities for the residents. Frequently, children from the neighborhood would come in and read or play music for them (which I also did as a child). My grandmother frequently said that the food wasn't amazing but it wasn't the worst she has had. My grandmother was close with a lot of the staff there and from what I saw, most of them were very kind and caring people. There were, of course, some who weren't the best of people but my grandmother was never neglected or mistreated, nor have I heard of other patients being neglected or mistreated.

I have a grandmother who lives at The Arbors. I think it is a rather nice place to be. Her room was a bit small, but it was still clean before she moved in. She seems pretty happy there, although at times there may be a little mishaps here and there. Most of the staff is great, they have the people you love , but on the other hand some people aren't as attentive as the other staff members. The dinning room is very pretty. I feel like the food has great potential, but only sometimes my grandmother complained of the food being cold, other than that she loves it.
