Bishop Gadsden

Sad to see the Decline.

My MIL has lived here for 20+ years. In the past few years she has needed to "move up" to other levels of care. Independent living was great, but anything under assisted living is terrible. So disorganized and understaffed. Some care staff is contract so they really don't care. For what she is paying, her level of care is terrible.

I have two friends that live at Bishop Gadsden. They are in the independent living. I went one time and played bridge there. It's more expensive than the other place. They have a wonderful dining room and all kinds of stations. It's like you're going to a restaurant or a buffet and serving yourself. That's really nice. I met the people serving and they are all very positive and very nice. Everybody is very friendly. The apartments are beautifully equipped. The residents can bring their own stuff if they want. At my friend's place they came in and cleaned the room. They would do her laundry if she wanted. She has a little kitchenette-type place in there, but she said she mostly went to the dining room. They have like two or three dining rooms, and they have one that is more upscale.

It is a very nice place, and they do have service until the end of life. They have a lot more facilities. I know several people that live there. I would recommend the place if they have the money since it is a very nice place. The rooms are spacious. They have all the way from separate apartments to houses to single rooms. They offer a wide selection since everyone comes in with a different price.

When my family made the decision to put my grandma into the Bishop Gadsden assisted living facility in 2009, it was a rough time for me. Unfortunately, the words "assisted living" brought to mind many negative mental images of sad elderly people locked away in a building, forgotten by their family and friends. I also had many concerns. Would the staff treat my grandma well? Would she enjoy the food? Would she get along with the other residents? Almost three years later, I'm proud to say that I was completely wrong about the bishop Gadsden assisted living facility. From the first day we brought my grandma there, the staff have been wonderful and have conducted themselves with the utmost professionalism and respect. In addition, there are many daily activities so that all the residents can get to know each other, and my grandma has a pretty full social calendar! Coming to visit is always a pleasure too, as the staff at Bishop Gadsden have made it clear that we can visit any time we want. Overall, I'm happy to say that Bishop Gadsden has surpassed my expectations and that I feel my grandma is in great hands there.

I've been to visit Bishop Gadsden several times for work, and I've always been impressed with the facility. The grounds are immaculate, and the staff have always been friendly and helpful. Although I don't personally know any of the residents, the dining facilities and hallways looked spotless during every visit. It would seem that the senior here have a very active social schedule, and a pair of residents recently became the oldest couple in history to take exchange wedding vows!
