I was very impressed with Bickford of Bexley, and I thought it felt like home. I loved the size and layout of the rooms, I thought it was very warm, comfortable, and great. We saw people in the dining room, playing games, listening to music, and families visiting. The staff was very outgoing, friendly, very inviting, and very nice. We saw the dining area, a room where they can go and get snacks, theres a popcorn machine, and there was a common area where people were watching TV. We had lunch there, it was very good, they have a private dining room for families that visit them, and they can eat there if the room is available. Thats the community I would choose for my father. One thing I liked was prior to our going there, one of the owners asked a bunch of questions about my dad, and they gave him a nice portrait of the downtown area of New York and a big book of things he was interested in. They thought it would be a nice thing to put in his room.

I liked Sunrise of Bexley as an assisted living place for my brother should he need more care in the future. I was impressed with the warmth that the people there showed us. Ray, the one in charge of the place, assisted us in a very personal way and made us feel that the residents still need to keep their dignity, even though they needed assistance. The whole place was nice and clean, and the bedroom was very nice. They took me to their little ice cream shop.

The rooms at Sunrise of Bexley were bright and airy. I saw their dining room, and they do restaurant dining, but I was not able to taste the food. The people that I saw were nice and looked happy. The only thing there is that their parking lot is way too small.

I liked that Sunrise of Bexley had a lot of activities for the residents and was a well-kept, bright, and welcoming place. However, there were several levels, the hallways were narrow, and there wasn't adequate parking for the guests. The menu was good, but they were flexible if the residents didn't care for the set menu and had other options. They had an ice cream parlor and a wine evening. It was a nice place.

My mom is in Sunrise of Bexley. The staff is attentive and very good at communicating with us. The surroundings are very pleasant, and the cost is very competitive. It is a three-story building and very compact. The third floor is assigned to my mother's particular need, which is assisted living/dementia. The number of folks on that floor is small with only 15 to 18 residents. We chose the shared room because we think it will be better for her, and it is less expensive. The dining facility is fine. The food is good. The staff seems to be more than caring. There are activities available, but my mother has severe dementia and is not able to partake.

Sunrise of Bexley was very homey and had little fireplace rooms, libraries, and a lot of things. We didn't like that it was 3-stories and it was a larger facility, but other than that, it was beautiful, everybody was nice, and they had several pets walking around the place. We really liked it.

Sunrise of Bexley was outdated and very small. My mom immediately said “no." It was not very bright. The area in which the residents congregated was very dark. They had a soda fountain area, but it wasn’t being used and was kind of dirty. The pictures on the wall were from the '70s, and we’re in 2016. The dining area was open and OK. There were wasn’t many things impressive about it. It did not have a woman’s touch there at all, but they had a nice dog at the front and that was a nice touch. I was not really impressed with the activities. They had an Alzheimer’s unit, which was nice because if someone had that kind of issue, they could move up and you would not have to move your parents. I liked that idea.

My mother lived at Sunrise for 3 years before she died peacefully last month. As her mind and body continued to fail, the staff at Sunrise was very caring. I was satisfied that they did a good job taking care of her. It wasn't until she passed away that I was met by some of the staff, including at the visitation, telling me how much they loved caring for her. I didn't expect that. Their job is not easy. I'm glad there are caring people out there like that.

Sunrise of Bexley was like home. It was very warm. I came in contact with a gentleman that showed me around and the lady at the front door. The apartments were very quaint and clean, not very spacious, but homey. Most of them were going to a movie when I visited.

The food was good at Sunrise of Bexley. It had a very nice atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. I was not impressed with the all-in-one room, but I like the two-room apartments.

Sunrise of Bexley was one that we liked. The accommodations, the people, everything, we loved. The only problem that we had with it was the room accommodations: the accommodations were small, and there were no closet. They have a stand alone closet to put their things in, and my mother-in-law didn't like that at all. It was one of our top ones. They had a lot of activities within the place, and also they had a bus that would take people to wherever they wanted to go: shopping or to a movie or whatever they wanted to do. They would take them to the doctor's or whatever. We would have loved working with them. But I told them right off that if it was me, I would not want to be there because there is no room.

I visited Sunrise of Bexley, and they have really narrow hallways, and it doesn’t feel clean. The rooms are small. And this place doesn’t hardly have any parking.

I liked several things about Sunrise. It was a secured facility. I just saw a couple of people working there and I thought they were okay. They gave me a tour but it was, basically, up on the dementia unit. They had the dementia people up on the third floor, which was fine, but I don't think my husband was that far gone. The rooms were rather small. They had a twin bed. However, the thing that I didn't like was that it was all white and very sterile.

Sunrise was very good. The market director was very nice and helpful. His follow up was very good. I saw their room and I'd give it a five.

Sunrise of Bexley is the place where I saw the most staff helping the residents and that's a big thing for me. They are also very friendly. My father is not in the place yet, but this is where my father will be.

The facility was always clean and smelled nice. The staff were kind, considerate, compassionate and understanding. The residents were well taken care of and listened to. There was always something to do activity wise and the workers went the extra step to answer questions or concerns. Everyone was always clean, happy, well fed and taken care of. This is some place where when the time comes, I would certainly consider being a resident myself. You feel safe, secure and cared for and those qualities are very important to me and my family. The outside of the facility is well kept and has nice landscaping. The porch is a nice addition to sit outside on nice days and swing. They keep it professional on the inside, the outside and all areas of the home. It is a nice clean place to visit and stay. My family friend enjoys herself there. She is always speaking highly of the staff, the meals, the other residents too. She is comfortable and well taken care of, that is important and vital in situations like this.

The building was beautiful and well-maintained, giving an impression of comfort and seemed to us more like an extended stay hotel-suite as opposed to an assisted-living facility, so we thought she would appreciate this. My grandmother was suffering from Alzheimers, so it was a difficult time for her and for us, and she would accuse the staff of stealing from her and beating her, but the items she claimed as stolen were squirreled away under her bed, and there was never any sign or actual indication of any violence done to her, and she was very prone to hallucination. The staff dealt with her moods, her hallucinations and her temper very admirably, and took amazing care of her. The price was reasonable, and the accomodations were very nice, and the organised activities in the lobby were nice, as well. To this day, whenever Sunrise comes up, our family can't say enough nice things about the staff or the place itself.

When i got to the Assisted living Facility i thought wow this place is really nice. As soon as i walked in the staff that worked there said that i must be here to see ms, leader i said yes i am actually how did you know that they said that ms leader had been talking about a really tall man of whom she has not seen in some years. well anyways after the staff and i made some small talk, they showed me where ms leaders room was they walked in the room and said to her you have visitor ms leader. The staff then informed me that if i needed anything to just let them know and that i could stay as long i as i pleased. The staff asked me if i would like to have anything to drink. i thought this was might kind of them. Sunrise of Bexley is the nicest assisted living facilities that i have been to. The area is very well kept the staff is very comforting and has alot of bed side manner. Overall i would reccomend this place to anyone who needs to go to an assisted living facility. No Bad thoughts of this place for me

About Bickford of Bexley
We began our quest into senior living because of our love for our beloved mother, Mary Bickford, whose needs became too great for us to manage. As we researched senior living options, we were shocked at our findings. The options offered too much or too little — none met her needs and nothing felt like home. Since we couldn't find what we wanted, we decided to create what we needed. Our main desire was to create a place that helped her achieve an equivalent peace and happiness that she had earlier in her life.
We understand that selecting a senior living community for your loved one is one of the toughest decisions that you will ever face. We will work with you to ensure that the transition is as easy and comfortable as possible. Whether your loved one is at home, in the hospital or even in another state, we can work with your hospital, insurance company, and doctor to make your difficult decision easier on you and your family. Aging can be difficult — but we've also seen the beauty in aging. Our mother's happiness inspired us. We created Bickford for her and now we're devoted to serving yours. We look forward to meeting you soon.
