"Facility lacks reliability, not worth it."

The place seemed okay online, but lots of problems after moving. Staff turnover, pricey extras, and lack of honesty.

"Mixed Experience at Watermark of Bellingham Assisted Living Facility"

The person in charge of selling, is really great. The folks at the front desk are nice, but they could know more. The nurses are patient but need more knowledge. The cooks and servers are friendly. Whenever I need help with my uncle, I call [name removed]. Out of all the places we visited, Watermark of Bellingham was the best.

"Communication and care issues persist despite welcoming environment."

The people are nice, food good, but care lacks consistency.

"Responsive Care During Difficult Transition"

The Watermark was really flexible during our tough time. They helped us even with short notice, uncooperative doctors, a long move, pneumonia, and COVID. They stayed helpful and responsive.

"Good Overall, Needs Improvement in Memory Care"

The place is nice overall. But, they haven't focused much on memory care like they did with the rest. There's a plan to make memory care better, but it's the weakest part for now. The staff is awesome. They understand my mom well and are patient with her. It makes me feel fine leaving her there.

"Friendly Assisted Living Community"

My family and our loved one had a great experience at this community. The staff is friendly and helpful, and they provide meals and activities for socializing. Overall, we recommend this place to others.

"Construction Limitations Affect Senior Mobility - The Watermark Review"

We visited The Watermark at Bellingham. They were fixing things, and since our loved one has trouble moving around, it wouldn't be the best place for her.

"Headline: "Frustrations Arise from Unkept Promises and Increased Rent at Watermark""

My relative moved into Watermark within the past six months, and I was hoping that by now, I'd have a more positive review. We've had a tough time dealing with the new Executive Director and management team. They have not upheld their promises and have shown disrespect to the residents when questioned. To make matters worse, rent was increased significantly. The promised one included meal per day is now charged on a per-item basis, and deducted from a $500 limit, with additional fees for packaging and food delivery to apartments. Despite being told not to worry about staff turnover, we've experienced high turnover and a chaotic move-in day. The apartment was dirty and had serious maintenance problems when encountered on move-in day. Despite resident initiatives for mold removal and to ensure appliances worked, the management were slow to respond. Promised rent adjustments were reduced by the Executive Director, leaving residents with no resolution or response. On the positive side, the ongoing renovations are visually improving the facility. We appreciate the on-call independent living supervisor, front desk, physical therapy, podiatry and salon staff. However, Watermark needs to understand that caring for its residents is just as crucial as making a profit.

"Renovations Underway at Good Assisted Living Community"

I think it's a nice place overall, but they're doing some renovations.

"Watermark: Happy Residents, Excellent Value"

The Watermark is in a pretty spot with lots of green space. Our loved one enjoys the meals and activities, and we’d definitely recommend it to other families. Great value for the money!

"Assisted Living Needs More Help, Renovations Might Improve Things"

The place needs more workers. Maybe when they're done fixing up, it'll be better.

"Great people, fixed safety issues quickly"

All the people at the facility are great. On move-in day, my dad's "independent living" apartment looked good, with fresh paint and maybe new carpet. However, there were a couple of safety concerns. One of the handrails in the shower/bathtub was very loose, and the bathroom doors would stick when closed, which almost caused my dad to fall. There were also some smaller issues the facility missed in their final check, but they took care of them right away. The food is great, and the landscaping is perfect for walking my dad's little dog.

"Great Care, Far Location"

My dad stayed here, and they took great care of him. The staff was good, but the location was too far.

3/5.00 Published 6 years ago

"Friendly Community, Needs Brighter Lights and Better Air Conditioning"

is a fantastic spokesperson who describes the community as a supportive and friendly place. However, I found it somewhat dim and think it could use more lights. Even though it's well-cared for, the age of the facility shows. The dining room for individual care seems a bit gloomy. Also, the place is pretty hot because the air conditioning doesn't work well in some rooms.

4/5.00 Published 6 years ago

"Warm Staff, Clean Place, Worth a Visit"

We visited this place, and the staff was friendly and chatted with my Aunt. They answered all our questions. I liked how clean it was, and the room looked modern. I think it's a good idea for people to tour different places before deciding.

"Great service and helpful staff, including finding special socks"

They’ve been really good so far, helping us with the move. The staff is very helpful. For example, Nancy saw that Dad needed a different type of socks and even told me which store had them since he’s diabetic.

4.5/5.00 Published 7 years ago

"Perfect Move-In Experience"

It's been perfect since we moved in! Moving in was easy and went smoother than we thought. I especially love that we can go out our sliding patio door to walk our dog on the beautiful property.

"Great community with wonderful meals and staff!"

I like it a lot. I enjoy everything they have for me. Everything, from the meals to the staff, is really good.

I loved everything about this place. It feels very open, spacious, and warm. I plan to do everything I can to help my parents see how well this facility will meet their needs right now.

"Friendly Staff and Residents Make Me Happy Here!"

I’m really happy this is my home. There are lots of friendly, outgoing staff and residents!

"Bellingham: A Friendly, Fun Place to Call Home"

I really love Bellingham for a lot of reasons. The friendly atmosphere makes it feel like home, and the park-like surroundings are so beautiful. The food is fantastic, and there are so many fun activities to choose from!

5/5.00 Published 7 years ago

"I Love My Apartment and the Beautiful View!"

I love my apartment! The view is amazing. I look out at open park land and enjoy watching all the wildlife. My cat loves watching the pretty birds too. The staff and other residents are great!

"Very satisfied with the staff and maintenance!"

I love so many things about Bellingham! The staff and residents are super friendly, and the grounds are beautiful. But what I love most is the Maintenance team—they go above and beyond for you!

"Happy Home, Happy Life at Bellingham"

Five months back, I started living at Bellingham and I’m really glad I did. The place looks beautiful, and the food is awesome because there’s so much to choose from. Most of all, the people working here and the other folks living here are the nicest I’ve ever met.

4/5.00 Published 7 years ago

"Good choice!"

My sister and I moved into Bellingham a little over 6 months ago, and we're really pleased with our choice. Bellingham fits our budget, and both the staff and residents are super friendly.

5/5.00 Published 7 years ago

"Great Care, Great Team"

My mom is a rehab resident here. Everyone is wonderful. They have a variety of activities and the staff does a great job getting residents to join in and keeping different themes going. The therapy department is excellent and always ready to answer questions. The entire team is great, and I am pleased with the care my mom receives.

5/5.00 Published 7 years ago

"Great experience at Park Lane!"

Everyone has been nice, skilled, and caring. My experience was great in every area.

"Spacious Living in Serene Setting"

I came to Bellingham from a big house with lots of land, so having room to move around was crucial for me. Bellingham's got a big, lovely outdoor area with old trees and pretty plants. It's really calm here. Another thing I liked when I moved to a smaller place was that the apartments are big and have plenty of storage space.

4.5/5.00 Published 7 years ago

"Bellingham Feels Like Home"

I've lived here for 3 years and I love it. I'm glad I moved here, and my kids are happy too. The staff are nice and caring, making it feel like home. I also love that Bellingham has lots of things to do.

5/5.00 Published 7 years ago

"Park Lane: Friendly, Fun, and Great Food"

Park Lane is way better than other nursing homes. Everyone here is super nice, it’s fun, and the food is great. I stayed here before, and so did my husband. We both love Park Lane.

"Love Park Lane and all the friends I’ve made!"

I live at Park Lane at Bellingham. I really enjoy it here! I love going to the activities and making wonderful friendships. It’s a great place.

"High Expenses, Gloomy Decor, Incompetent Staff"

I believed my parents would stay in the independent section, but later found out they required more care. When we moved them to the assisted living section, they wanted 24-hour attention which would be an extra burden on us in terms of cost. The decoration was quite gloomy with insufficient lighting. The dining area for the assisted living residents was in a basement corner and didn't look great. Moreover, I feel that the around-the-clock staff wasn't competent enough.

4/5.00 Published 7 years ago

"Great service, attentive staff, recommendable"

I have been very pleased with the services here. Staff are attentive to my mother's needs and ensure she feels comfortable and safe. Great food with healthy choices. Little to no complaints, would recommend.

5/5.00 Published 8 years ago

"Great place for affordable and caring assisted living!"

My mother-in-law has been in the independent living section of Bellingham since February 2017. We've been really happy with our experience there. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a place for their loved ones. It's probably one of the most reasonably priced private homes in the area. It may not be perfect, but it's as good as it gets when you consider everything.

"Mom thrived at Bellingham, making friends and staying busy. Grateful!"

My mom's been at Bellingham for 3 years. It's amazing! Before, she lived alone, but now, she's got so many friends. I don't worry about her like I used to. She wasn't big on joining things, but now she's always busy. It's changed our lives for the better. Big thanks to Bellingham

4/5.00 Published 8 years ago

"Rough Start, But Now It's Great"

At first, it was a rough start, but my mother-in-law is doing well here now. This place is nice, and they do a good job keeping it clean and well-maintained. The staff is friendly and nice too. Overall, it's been a good experience, and she's getting good care here. I would recommend this community; it's a good place.

5/5.00 Published 8 years ago

"My Stay at Park Lane"

I wasn't worried about coming here because seven years ago my husband stayed here and was treated very well. So, I knew what to expect. The place is super clean. They're always sweeping and vacuuming, even when it looks fine. My room is always tidy. The nursing staff is very attentive, and the therapy staff gives great personalized care. The activities staff is on top of things; they have something for everyone.

4/5.00 Published 8 years ago

"Wonderful Assisted Living Experience"

This place is awesome! The people who work here are really nice and they always let you know what's going on with activities every day. The food is tasty. If you need help, the nurses come right away. I can't say enough good things about this place, it's just so great!

4.5/5.00 Published 8 years ago

"Great staff and meals from the start"

From the start, everything was great. The staff gives you their full attention. The meals have been very good. There are multiple walking paths and more.

4.5/5.00 Published 8 years ago

"Park Lane: A Wonderful Place with Great Staff"

I have stayed at Park Lane before, and it’s overall wonderful. The therapists are very accommodating when I have outside appointments, and Fatuo (the aide) is always helpful. The Activities Director is incredible, especially with the lower functioning residents. She goes out of her way to include them and help them with activities. I can’t say enough about the activities team. The food is okay, but overall, Park Lane is great.

4.5/5.00 Published 8 years ago

"Wonderful experience"

I'm at Park Lane for rehab, and my stay has been wonderful. The nurses are great, and Fatou and Civil are very kind and helpful. The food is wonderful, the activities are great, and I love getting the daily schedule with all our activities. I would recommend Park Lane to anyone.

"Injustice Found in Park Lane's Room Charging Practices"

My family chose Park Lane as the nursing home for our dear one. We faced the financial blow of the private payment rate but were ready to bear it, for ensuring the comfort and privacy of our beloved. We believed the institution was fair. We were proven wrong. The Admissions department and the Administrator colluded with another family, allowing them to pay a semi-private rate for a singular private room. This is plainly unjust and unfair!. It's a financial malpractice that should be considered illegal. If another family is charged a semi-private rate for a private room, then all families should receive the same billing rate. I am left with the question of why this was permitted. We will raise this issue for inspection with the regulatory bodies. This is utterly exasperating!!

4.5/5.00 Published 8 years ago

"Amazing care and staff!"

After my surgery, I picked Park Lane for my physical and occupational therapy. It was an easy choice because my mom has been a full-time resident here for two and a half years and has received wonderful care. Everyone here is caring, pleasant, effective, and positive about the residents' needs. The nursing, dietary, housekeeping, and other departments respond quickly, and there are lots of activities to keep us busy. The dedication to residents and communication at Park Lane is amazing! I totally recommend sending your loved ones here for care, long-term living, and therapy! I was also really impressed with the ongoing care, food preparation, and the staff who stayed during the blizzard of 2016!

4.5/5.00 Published 8 years ago

"Enjoying Life at Bellingham"

I live at Bellingham and like it, but I’m at Park Lane for rehab. The therapy team is great and takes their time to help everyone. The food and activities are good at both places. Everyone is really nice, and I know I will get better here.

5/5.00 Published 8 years ago

"ParkLane: A Wonderful Rehab Experience"

I’ve been at ParkLane for a month for rehab, and my stay has been awesome. The nursing and kitchen staff go out of their way to help me. Everyone does their best. I enjoy going to the activities when I’m not in rehab, and it’s great how they include even the residents who can’t do much in all the programs.

"Starts off good, ends up disappointing"

For a while, my parents liked living on their own in a Bellingham apartment. What bothered them most was the steep yearly rise in the cost, which eventually forced some of their friends to move out because they couldn't handle it. When my parents' health took a turn for the worse, their views on the services at Parklane/Bellingham soured too. Dealing with the staff was a pain because they didn't always communicate well. It felt like they cared more about money than making my parents' lives better. So, watch out and make sure you have everything in writing.

"We are extremely happy with this assisted living facility!"

"Wonderful place with great staff and activities!"

Our aunt has been at Bellingham in the Personal Care Department for over three years. We've seen her mental health improve since she joined. It’s a nice and friendly place. The facility is clean, and there are always activities to keep the residents busy. The activities director, Paige Jacobs, and her staff are amazing! They are always helpful and go the extra mile. Thank you, Paige and your team, for everything you do!!

5/5.00 Published 9 years ago

"Wonderful, caring staff!"

I want to thank the Administrator and her team for listening to my concerns. My husband was admitted early on, and he was very upset about coming to Park Lane at first. But during his stay, the Administrator and her staff helped him feel comfortable. The customer service they provided to my husband and me was excellent. I’ve seen that the staff is very respectful to the patients and always smiling. Thank you to all the Park Lane staff! Please keep up the good work! I also want to thank Melinda Wright and her Activities Assistant, Duree, for creating great programs that kept my husband busy and helped him not feel sad about being in the nursing home. Thank you for your compassion and care.

"A Happy Resident’s Six-Year Experience at Bellingham"

I've lived here for almost six years and liked it from the start. It was tough at first to give up some independence, but I've been happy at Bellingham. Honestly, I like everything about this place. The food is good, the activities team is great, the maintenance and housekeeping teams are wonderful, and everyone is really friendly. My time at Bellingham has been good, though I don’t have anything else to compare it to. I've never lived in another retirement community, but I can’t imagine being happier anywhere else. I’m very happy here.

4/5.00 Published 9 years ago

"Pleasant Environment!"

So far, things have been great at Bellingham Retirement Community! The people here are nice, and the place is clean and well-maintained. It took a little getting used to for my family, but they've adjusted well and are having a good time. However, I think the community could offer more help during the onboarding process.

5/5.00 Published 9 years ago

"Everything is going great!"

Our time at Bellingham Retirement Community has been great! The place is clean, the staff is friendly, and my loved one really seems to enjoy it. We have no complaints!

"Staff is amazing, no complaints at all!"

Bellingham Retirement Community has been great! They offer a lot of activities, but my mom doesn’t want to join in, even though I wish she would. The staff is very helpful, always there for my brother and me. Having a doctor right in the building is super convenient—we even switched her to this doctor because it's better for her. The staff is just wonderful, and I’m really happy with everything here.

"Bellingham Retirement Community: A Welcoming Place for Active Seniors"

My name is she and I’m an active, independent senior citizen. When I first arrived at this community, I was nervous. But as the day went on, more people greeted me and made me feel welcome, which eased my fears. Like many others here, I have a disability, but we’re all learning to thrive despite our physical challenges. The programs and activities are fantastic. They organize many trips to exciting places that we really enjoy. There are also lots of exercise classes, like Tai Chi and Ballet. We can try our hand at painting, making jewelry, and attending Brain Health University classes, which help keep our minds sharp. For those who prefer quieter activities, there’s Bingo, cards, and board games available. I’ve always loved bowling, and even though I can’t bowl like I used to, I join in on Wii bowling, which makes my days much happier. My time at Bellingham has truly been a blessing for me. I hope anyone who feels nervous about this stage of life comes to see the beautiful lifestyle we have here at Bellingham Retirement Community.

"Nice Place, But Not Right for Us"

Our loved one stayed here for a short time, and while it was a good place overall, it wasn't the best fit for us. Soon after she moved in, we realized she needed more specialized memory care. Even though our time at Bellingham was brief, it seemed like a nice place, and I'm sure they would have done a good job if we only needed assisted living.

4/5.00 Published 9 years ago

"Outstanding Care at Park Lane"

This review is long overdue. My mother was at Park Lane for rehab a while back, and I want to let people know that the care and service she got were excellent. There are no words to describe how caring and friendly the staff at Park Lane were to my mother and our family. Whenever I had a concern or issue, I met with the Administrator, and she and her team addressed it right away without hesitation. They took the time out of their busy schedule to listen to me, and that's rare to find. Park Lane is clean, and the building is beautiful! The rehab staff are wonderful. Thank you for taking care of my mom. Thank you for your compassion and care.

"Dedicated Director"

I lived at Evergreen in Cincinnati, Ohio, for 9 years. During that time, I saw many directors come and go. The same thing happened at Bellingham. I want to share the great qualities of Jason Shott. He is exactly what Bellingham has needed for a long time. When there’s a problem, he always follows through and listens! We really appreciate him as our Executive Director. He is friendly, always available, and gets involved. His thoughtfulness does not go unnoticed.

"Beautiful place, wonderful people, so glad I came!"

I've been at Bellingham for 8 months, and I didn't come by choice. At first, I thought I would hate it, but now I'm a big fan. The people here have been so wonderful to me, and there are lots of activities for everyone—like crafts, book club, bridge, and even drum circle. I really look forward to dinner with interesting, engaging people. The dining room is lovely, with fresh flowers on the tables. The young servers are cheerful and fun. My favorite thing is sitting on my balcony and enjoying the beautiful grounds. I'd definitely recommend it to others.

"Friendly place with lots of activities"

I highly recommend Bellingham Retirement Community. They offer lots of activities, and I give them 5 stars overall. I’ve never had any problems here. The staff is very friendly, and I rated their friendliness 5 stars. The care services are great, and the value is excellent. It’s affordable and well-priced. I’d recommend this community to anyone looking for a friendly place to live.

"Kind Staff, Engaging Activities Make Mom's Transition Smooth"

My Mom's only been at Bellingham for 2 weeks, but it's been good. The people who work there are really nice and they make sure Mom gets to do stuff.

"Decent Week, But Past Problems Highlighted"

My stay here is just about okay this week, but we've seen some problems. Most of the staff doesn't have a good vibe. However, the top nurse is nice, she understands my situation. A few issues have come up with the maintenance, and there have also been some problems with the billing. The meals they serve are just okay. I've noticed they offer a lot of activities though.

"Bellingham Rehab: Clean premises, poor conduct from Admissions Director"

My wife and I visited the rehab part of Bellingham. It looked clean and most of the staff were friendly. But, we spotted a few staff arguing in a corner. Later, we found out one of them was a patient's daughter who was pretty upset. She told us that when their 100 Medicare days run out, the facility will discharge their patient. This really shocked us. We asked the Executive Director about this, who said the social services team would help find a new place. We also asked the Admissions Director - she had been arguing with the upset daughter - about what happens after those 100 days. She replied quite loudly that if you can't pay, you will have to leave. At this point, the Executive Director ended our tour. This certainly wasn't a good first impression. There's no way I'd leave my father-in-law here. Avoid Bellingham - we transferred him to Wellington off Route 352.

"Perfect place for us!"

This community felt right as soon as we walked in. The atmosphere was wonderful, and everyone was very helpful and friendly. The location is perfect for us because it’s centrally located between our home and work.

"Average Experience at Bellingham with Overcharging and Poor Meals"

Bellingham offered many activities, but their food was just okay. They demanded too much money to deliver meals to rooms, plus, they always arrived cold. Recently, we were overcharged three times our rent. It took over two months and a lawyer to get our money back.

1.5/5.00 Published 10 years ago

"Nurse: Unreliable nursing care and surprise bills at assisted living"

As a nurse, I can't recommend this place. My mom stayed here for about a month in the Park Lane section. She had broken her thighbone and needed therapy. The physical and occupational therapists were great! The place was tidy, neat and it had large, private rooms with good furniture. But, I had problems with the nursing care. There never seemed to be enough staff, especially at night. It sometimes took an hour for someone to come when the nurse call button was pushed. If my mom needed help going to the bathroom, she would sometimes have to wait for an hour for someone to arrive. Quite often, she was left on a bedpan for nearly an hour because the staff took forever to come when she rang the bell. She quickly learned not to wait too long if she needed help going to the bathroom. The food wasn't good, and we'd heard that before she was admitted. We thought the other parts would make up for it, and we could bring her meals since we came to visit daily. All the food seemed to be precooked somewhere else and then just reheated in a microwave. The meals were typically dry and overcooked. Leaving a loved one in a nursing facility without regular check-ups just isn't possible. I spoke with the Nursing Director before my mom was admitted. We went over her insurance and any co-pay or deductible. She told me my mom's insurance would cover all costs. But, three months after she left, she got a bill for several thousand dollars. I called the billing office, and they said it was her deductible and wouldn't let her make payments.

"Comfortable, affordable, and friendly assisted living community for seniors."

My mother really felt at home here. It’s smaller than some other places she looked at, and she liked that a lot. Since there’s no big entry fee, it was more affordable than other communities. The staff was super friendly and welcoming, making my mom feel comfortable. There were activities she enjoyed, especially the ballet class. Plus, there were many other active people around, which was important to her.

"Great place for independent people with wheelchair needs!"

Everyone at Bellingham has been really helpful. I haven’t moved in yet, but I’m happy with the apartment. I visited a few other places. One was too small, and another didn’t consider my electric wheelchair. Their bus didn’t fit a wheelchair because it was for independent living. I’m independent and don’t need help with myself. They didn’t accept me as a resident. Bellingham is the complete opposite.

"Assisted Living Review: Friendly Atmosphere, Comfortable Setting, Diverse Community"

I really like this place. The food's okay. I wish they'd let guys skip wearing suit jackets at dinner. I picked it 'cause everyone's nice and it feels cozy. The apartment's size and layout are good, and they've got good security. It's cool that there are people of different ages here, and more guys than other places.

"Settling Mom into the Residence"

I thought the staff was really helpful and quick. But, because my mom sometimes forgets things, the information they provide could be clearer and more step-by-step. She's not a fan of the phone system either. Overall, though, my mom seems pretty happy with the place, especially the staff at Bellingham.

"Nice Spot, Older Interior, Might Be Interesting Option"

This spot is really beautiful and in a good neighborhood. But, the building's inside looks old and most people living there are older than me. This place might interest me if I decide I don't want to buy a place.

4.5/5.00 Published 11 years ago

"A wonderful place for my mom"

While my mom didn't want to go to senior living, we convinced her by saying she could come home anytime since we hadn't sold her house yet. The first two weeks were an adjustment for all of us, but we managed. During weeks three and four, she had constant complaints that were easily fixed if she asked the front desk for help. Since then, it's been smooth sailing. The staff really cares, the place is beautiful, and her only complaint now is that if she waits too long to eat dinner, some of the popular items are gone. Overall, I would recommend Bellingham to anyone. It's a beautiful facility with caring, kind, and compassionate people.

My dad lives independently here, so he doesn't get many services. He gets one meal a day and housekeeping once a month, which are okay. The activities are alright too. The management team has been very patient with my dad when he faced some challenges. I believe he is in the best place for him.

Three levels of care in separate buildings. Beautiful and lively! You can only keep cats in independent living, but you have to give them up in personal care.

"Tour of Assisted Living and Skilled Care Facilities Review"

I checked out the assisted living and skilled care places. The rooms are pretty cool, like being at home. There's plenty of closet space. But for assisted living, you gotta bring all your own furniture and stuff. I didn't find out about pets. Some parts were a bit worn down, but the skilled care might be just what we need for a little while.
