Independent Living Reviews for The Bentley

May 22, 2017

By joanna748457

I visited this facility

Bentley seemed more of a nursing home than an independent living type of community. We toured some of the rooms, and it wasn’t what we expected because they didn’t feel like apartments. They had renovated part of the building for their Alzheimer’s care, but that wasn’t where my mom would need to be. The area where she would be had an odor to it and was not very pleasant. The staff member was nice enough and walked us around, but she was new so she didn’t know a whole lot about the accommodations my mom would need as an independent, retired person; she gave us a card to talk to somebody. We had some good cookies that they had baked. The dining room looked pleasant enough, but we didn’t stay there to eat. I think they need to be clearer that they are not quite independent living or a retirement community. My impression was they were more of a nursing home than independent living.

The Bentley was very clean and well-kept. The residents looked happy. This was the place that we really liked. They had great service. The employees were more than willing to help. It felt like home. The services were excellent. I think my mom would be very happy to live there because the rooms were wrapped to the courtyard, and the courtyard was kept-up really nice. Like I said, the employees were very helpful, kind, and willing to cater to the residents’ needs and wants.

We haven't moved into The Bentley yet. I only visited it once, and we wouldn’t have gotten our unit if we weren’t happy with what we saw. It was wonderful; everybody was very friendly. They were very helpful and very glad to have you. We got a cottage with a fireplace. It’s a cottage in the back and there are only 10 of them, and they never come available. One type was available the day we went to see it. The dining area is big and always full. It is the last place I wanted to live. We were actually on our way to sign a contract somewhere else, but we just absolutely fell in love with this place. This is the place for us to be.

The Bentley was very nice. We liked the outside apartments better on the first floor that were separate from the building because they seemed to have more privacy and be bigger. The staff was very accommodating. We ate lunch, and the food was very good. They had a workout room, bridge, and games like that.

The apartments at The Bentley look good. They are very nice. You bring your own furnishings into the apartment. The staff who gave us the tour was very helpful. The only thing I did not like about this facility is you have to eat your meals at specific times of the day like breakfast is at 8:30, lunch is 12:30, and dinner is 5:30, and then nothing after that. I know they play bingo, and they have physical therapy.

The Bentley was just as nice and good as the other place I visited. The only reason I didn’t select this place is because of the location. It was farther away, and the surrounding areas were not as nice as far as landscaping goes. Other than that, they were both great places, and the prices were basically the same. It’s just that the other place is really close to where I live, so that is where I would like to put my mom, but everything looked the same to me. The staff was very nice, friendly and actually followed up with me a lot. The activities were the same kind, but I think the only thing different is that they do a shopping shuttle a couple of days a week to Walmart or somewhere like that. I liked their courtyard and outside sitting area.

I am/was a resident of this facility

My wife selected The Bentley, and it's a good one. Many of the people are here because of health reasons rather than age reasons. We have people in their 40s and 50s. The food is good, and it satisfies your needs. My wife and I have been in here for two months now, and we have a two-room apartment, which is very nice. They have a lot of activities. If you want to be involved in anything, they have it. We considered it because of cost. We were able to come in here and save $1000 a month. We're very happy with what we have.

I just think The Bentley is a really good facility. It has a warm environment. The have gourmet chef there, and they have transportation. They also have activities almost every day. It’s a really good facility because there are a lot of people who live there who can drive, and my daughter can't, so sometimes they take her to church with them. The staff are excellent, very accommodating, and very caring. They are really nice. I would definitely recommend this facility to others.

The Bentley was good. They're very friendly, very nice, and very active. But the location is just too far from my family than I wanted to be. I think it might have been a little more expensive.

The Bentley was a newer facility. It was also wider and brighter. It was quite a nice place. Their halls were really wide, which I find nice. The dining room was nice, the food was good and the rooms were bright and cheerful. They have the same activities as with other facilities, e.g., they have a group of people that come in and sing, they have bingo, art classes, etc.

The Bentley had some large size rooms with little kitchen areas. They also had some units with outside balconies, which I actually liked. I could live in this place.

Theirs room were big, comfortable and worthy of living. But the food and the menu was not as good as in the place I am now. The staff didn't impress me that much. It was a pretty active place.

The Bentley was a nice place, the food was good, and the people were friendly. They do allow pets and they have a good facility that had a backdoor on the ground floor where I could let my pet out. That was actually one of the reasons why I liked that place.
