Riverstone at Bedford

Kris

I visited. The facility itself was nice, and it was in a nice area. It had a nice atmosphere outside and a nice outdoor living area. We got the tour with Vicki, who is the activities director, and she was really kind and excited. She enjoyed working with the elderly. We were not scheduled to tour until Friday, so we caught them off guard, and Vicki did great. The rooms were small. The interior of the rooms was cinderblock, and it was a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. It did not have a private shower.

It is small but quaint, and they seem like a family. It is a very nice little facility. I'm definitely considering it, but I'm just in the middle of some things. They're very nice staff. I observed a sensory room, and that was nice, too. They showed me their little outside area where they can go out, watch nature and look at flowers and stuff like that. It was a secure area, but it was nice.

It was very nice, clean, and very quiet. The people seem to be happy. The rooms were very nice. The staff was very helpful and very professional, asking us if we had any questions and wanted to know if we had any more. A lady took us on the tour because the gentleman was busy that day with someone, but she was really great. We could not have asked for a better tour. The facility was very clean. There was no smell or anything.

My mother-in-law has moved in. What I like the best is the level of caring employees. They seem to care deeply about the residents. They have a lot of community involvement in their activities. They seem to be deeply connected and have community volunteers just to try and make life enjoyable for the residents there. They participated in the Christmas parade in Bedford and went to see Christmas lights one evening. They have pastors leading Bible studies and musicians leading singalong times and entertaining. The negative for me is the size of the rooms is small compared to other places that we've seen. It's an older building. They try and make it very cheerful. There are a lot of pretty paintings on the wall. They decorated a lot for Christmas. I think they try and make it as homelike as possible. It's near Downtown Bedford.

My mother-in-law moved in. We're very, very pleased. They've been wonderful. The apartment is fine, and she's in a private room. So far, everything's been good. We haven't met a lot of the other staff because of COVID. They do have a little courtyard. They do the laundry, they've just been really good, I think there's a beautician, and we're just so far very pleased.

Everything about my tour was great. The rooms were clean and nice, they're just regular-sized rooms. The staff who gave me the tour was excellent. I've observed that the residents all look happy, everybody looks happy. We visited at lunch time so they weren't doing any activities. They also have a place for people to read.
