"Great care and independence for Mom at Alden Gardens"

Our mother has lived at Alden Gardens of Bloomingdale for over a year. We are very happy with the care she gets. Every staff member has helped her adjust to her new home. The people who work there are kind, patient, and helpful, from maintenance to the director, and from the dining room to activities. The nursing staff is friendly and always ready to help Mom, making sure she feels independent and in control. Mom’s apartment is just right for her, and the common areas are clean, well-lit, and inviting. We visit her weekly and see that the building is always well-kept. It’s common to see people chatting and laughing in the common rooms. Mom enjoys the activities and takes part in them often. We looked at many facilities in the area, and we are very pleased with our choice of Alden. Thank you, Alden, for giving us peace of mind!

"Bright, Friendly Atmosphere with Great Activities and Cozy Apartments"

I love the bright, friendly sitting areas on the first floor. The dining room is open and has nice views outside while keeping a comfortable temperature inside. The staff is friendly and always ready to help. That was my first impression of Alden Gardens, and after being here for a year and a half, my first thoughts were right. Now, I enjoy playing cards, bingo, or doing crafts in the sunny rooms, or just chatting before heading back to my cozy apartment.

"Assisted Living Facility Near Main Road Falls Short"

Wasn't too impressed with this place. Sunrise was nicer. It worried me being so close to Lake Street, the main road. It didn't have the fancy feel of Sunrise. But it was okay, just a bit better than a nursing home for assisted living.
