When the time comes, I think we will pick here for my husband. The tour was done wonderfully. The lady was very informed and very friendly. We met all their Covid restrictions, and they were very thorough in doing that. We looked at two apartments, and we felt that the deluxe room would be adequate for us. It was very clean. We were able to see the dining room and the workout rooms. We saw, from a distance, the library and we were able to see quite a bit, and we're very pleased. They showed us what we asked. They told us that they would be able to take him to doctor's appointments. They used to be able to bring them to stores, but now they just have them give the list and they will get it for them. We saw the pool table. They had a lot of activities like bingo and different exercises that he could join. There was quite a bit that they shared.

My husband was in Bear Creek Nursing Center for short-term care. There were many times when we rang for service for some kind or other, and it took quite a while to get a response. During the night, it's especially hard. There was one night he was sleep-walking, and when he wasn't supposed to be out of the bed; he was out in the hallway. The nurses were in the little area there chatting, they told him to go back to bed. The one remark he made was never to put him in a nursing home again. But the food was good, he likes the food there. The therapy was minimal, but there was not much therapy that could be done. The place was mostly clean, although sometimes there were a couple of things on the floor, but mostly it's okay.

My mother has been a resident for a while now. She just loves the staff there, although there have been changes. The food isn't as good as when she first moved there, but everything else, including the staff, is still caring. So that's the important thing. The quality of the food has gone down, but I don't know what the reason is. They have a bus to take the residents wherever they want to go, doctors' appointments, shopping, you name it. They also offer a lot of activities for the residents.

It was a nice place and seemed lively. They just had one big dining room, which was nice. It had nice apartments, but it wasn't near where we wanted it to be. The staff was nice. They fed us, and the food was good. They had a schedule of activities available. They answered all our questions. The rooms looked nice, didn't look in disrepair, and were big enough. They had one- and two-bedroom apartments.

It was a pretty good place. It's more for people with dementia, but I'm not at that stage in life yet. They didn't have balconies, but the place looks very nice. They fed me, were very pleasant and nice, and gave me little gifts of little knick knacks and cakes. Their rooms were an OK size but they didn't have a lot of storage space, which is a problem because I'm taking four boxes of memorabilia with me. The dining room is very nice and beautiful, like a high-class restaurant. The building is at least three stories high. The only room that I like is right next to the swimming pool.
