"Disappointing Meals and Missing Coffee: A Depressing Experience"

We thought the food wasn't great. It was small and not like they said. More like cafeteria food at school. Also, they said there's a coffee bar, but it's not there. No coffee, creamer, sugar, or cups. It made the place feel really sad.

"A Safe, Friendly Assisted Living Community"

This community is nice and safe. The staff are friendly and always ready to assist. Residents get three meals a day with choices, and lunch is the biggest. Each floor has communal washer and dryers, and residents can have a microwave in their apartment. Housekeeping is included weekly.

We went to check out Bloom at Belfair. It was my top pick, but they didn't follow through with what we agreed on in the contract and gave my money back.

"Vibrant Assisted Living with Top-Notch Memory Care"

We chose Bloom at Belfair because the community felt lively and had a positive vibe among staff and residents. The memory care unit stood out as the best we saw. Even though we don't need that care now, having the option for the future is reassuring. We'd recommend this facility to others.

"Mixed Experience: Great Staff and Activities, Slow Response Times"

We've had a great experience. Staff answer all our questions. Activities are enjoyable. Our main concern is slow response times, but we understand our expectations may have been too high. Follow-up takes days.

"Great place with room for improvement in activities and costs"

Don’t hesitate to ask lots of questions, especially if this is your first time looking into assisted living. If I had another chance, I’d ask more specific follow-up questions after their initial presentation. For example, check if they offer extra services like manicures or pedicures. When they say “all-inclusive,” it only covers what they offer, not necessarily everything you might want. The middle management team has been very helpful, supportive, and easy to work with. They’re open to addressing any concerns you have. The quality of caregivers can vary; some are excellent, while others are just okay. I understand how tough their job is, and I have a lot of respect for them. I think the staff-to-resident ratio could be better, even though it's better than the minimum required. I haven’t tried the food, but it looks good, and portions seem fine. They have weekly bus trips for lunch and outings to places like museums. I wish they offered more of these trips included in the monthly fee rather than as extra charges. Overall, it’s a good value, but I’d be willing to pay more for additional activities.

"Mixed Impressions at Assisted Living Facility"

The rating might not be entirely fair since we didn't visit the facility in person. However, we received a video tour. The facility seemed outdated, but it appeared clean. Inside, there were interesting items like an ice cream parlor and a vintage New York taxi cab. The atrium entrance featured a fountain with a large staircase behind it. Although, it's worth noting that stairs and older people usually don't mix well. The community relations manager, , was lovely and very helpful.

I am really happy here. However, I think there could be more help in some areas. Sometimes, it seems like the staff doesn't fully appreciate how important their jobs are.

The sales process was very caring. I cried about my mom, and the sales girl cried with me. The nurse sat with me for over an hour. They make a great team. My mom is happy and has moved into memory care.

"Best Care for Mom at Bloom's"

My mother was in Bloom's care for 6 years, including 3 years in memory care. She could not have asked for better caregivers, especially in memory care. They truly cared for and loved her. When she passed away, they were with her, along with hospice, to comfort her. It’s hard to find a better community with reasonable costs too.

"Review of Bloom at Belfair"

We couldn't have asked for kinder, more thoughtful people to help us. They went out of their way to get my husband the care he needed in such a short amount of time. He was in great, capable hands in this loving environment. Thank you all!

"Review: Assisted Living Facility Lacks Adequate Staff and Cooperation"

Bad leadership communication. There aren't enough staff for all of the residents. Most of the staff are great, but some just hang out on their phones instead of helping residents like they should. It's really noisy with lots of alarms that take forever to turn off. I've lost lots of clothes and personal stuff in the laundry or other people's rooms, and there's not much help in getting them back.

"Great Place"

My mom is doing well in Memory Care. They make sure she gets to be with the other residents on the main floor to visit and dine together. She enjoys the beautiful secured courtyard. The staff are attentive and caring. Right now they are in Georgia due to the storms, but they have a Facebook page for family members to follow, and we know our loved ones are safe.

"Wonderful Care and Friendly Staff"

Bloom at Belfair has gone beyond what I expected. The quality of care is excellent, and they do an amazing job meeting the needs of their residents. Both the staff and management are friendly and easy to work with. They are quick and professional in getting things done. We are so grateful to have found this place for my husband.

"Amazing care and fun activities for mom!"

Bloom at Belfair's staff has been wonderful to my mother. This living facility is very clean and welcoming. They offer many activities for my 87-year-old mom. She is now in memory care, but when she lived in independent living, they helped her live out one of her dreams! They arranged for her to go skydiving, and she had an amazing time! Now that she is in memory care, [Removed] has been outstanding. If I have any questions, he is always there to help! Thank you, Bloom at Belfair, for taking such good care of my mom's needs.

" "Worst Experience Ever at Bloom Assisted Living" "

Bottom-ranked Assisted Living Facility Results in Unnecessary Chaos and Expenditures for Family." My experience with this assisted living facility has been nothing but terrible. I arranged a week-long stay for my mom at their Bluffton, SC location so I could continue to work without worrying about finding caregivers. From the get-go, things weren't right. It's a memory care unit, catering to patients with dementia. My mom has slight dementia but she doesn't have Alzheimer's. She's aware of her surroundings and constantly alert. Yet, rather tumultuous and unsanitary incidents took place within the first hour we were there, making me instantly worried about the level of care at this facility. I was horrified at the lack of assistance in helping my mom to bed. Two staff members lifted her into her bed, hurting her in the process. I was so worried that I called back multiple times to make sure they were checking on her. The next day, a nurse approached me, saying my mom was having trouble breathing and they wanted to hospitalize her. I took her to the hospital instead, where it turned out she was dehydrated and just needed fluids. Ironically, the purpose of admitting her at Bloom's was to avoid hospitalization and only after a single night, we found ourselves at a hospital! After discussing this incident with Bloom's administrator and bringing up the question of a refund for the remaining days, he was non-committal and inconclusive. The hospital later discharged my mom and I decided to take her back to the assisted living facility, giving them another chance. But when I called them, they had already packed up her stuff and were reluctant about me staying for the night. What really pushed me over the edge was their denial to help me get my mom out of the car upon return. So, without much choice, I took her back home, three hours away. My mom was overjoyed to be back home. In summary, this was an incredibly draining and exasperating experience. We left the facility in worse shape than when we arrived, both physically and emotionally. I deeply regret ever connecting with this facility.

"Comfortable Assisted Living, Room for Improvement, Great Hospitality"

We had a good time visiting as we searched for a place for our mom/mother-in-law. The one-bedroom apartment was nice with a view outside, and the price seemed fair. We'd have to be careful about extra costs, though. Some of the outdoor furniture looked a little worn, but that wouldn't bother her if she had a spot to garden. We'd think about this place if we decide to move our loved one here. The apple pie they gave us was a nice treat and yummy.

"Assisted Living Facility: Mixed Experience, Needs Improvement"

In places like this, money matters affect staffing and meals. It's common in for-profit businesses. Some staff are dedicated, but others lack motivation. Communication needs improvement.

"Great care and supportive staff for my wife!"

I’m really happy with the care my wife is receiving. Bloom has a caring staff that goes above and beyond to answer all our questions, even when I ask silly ones. It’s tough to leave her in a home, but I feel good knowing she gets along well with the staff.

"Exceptional Care and Fun Atmosphere at Bloom at Belfair"

My mom is at Bloom at Belfair, and the staff is amazing. They are super friendly and really know what they're doing. They made my mom feel right at home. When Hurricane Matthew hit, they did a fantastic job getting everyone to safety and made the whole experience fun. My mom even said it was like a great vacation. Moving from out of state was tough for her, but she has adjusted quickly and now likes it there even more than her old place in Maryland. Thank you so much, Bloom at Belfair!

I really liked it here, but Mom prefers a different location.

"Facility Haunted by Discrimination, Neglect, and Deception"

This place has seen way too many staff changes - the boss barely pays attention. Once known as a top spot for Alzheimer care, it has lost its charm and become just an empty shell. The photos you see are from the first time a manager was around - she's long gone. They've recently been slapped with a fine by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission for unfairly treating their staff, which tells a lot about this family-run business. Took mom out last month and shifted her to another facility. We've never been more grateful.

"Comforting and Caring Assisted Living for Loved Ones with Dementia"

My mom gets to do stuff every day, which is great for her because of her memory problems. The food is yummy, and she’s putting back on the weight she lost. The people who work there are nice and ready to help out, and the place is super clean. It makes me happy knowing my mom has a good home where she can be with people.

"Bloom Assisted Living: Unreliable with Poor Management and Health Care"

I'm super upset and scared for my grandma's health at Bloom. Things aren't the same since Riverside stopped managing and Bloom took over. This is the third time this year her medicines have been. She goes through awful pain and no one takes action unless my family is there. Thank goodness we can visit her almost each day. I don't trust them to take care of her unless we're constantly checking. Neither the managers nor the nurse company that they hire are helpful. We're planning to find a new home for my grandma as soon as we can.

"Helpful and Experienced Staff with Great Activities!"

The overall organization is really helpful and quick to respond. There was a bit of confusion with clothes getting hung up during admission. The administration needs to be more organized, but this facility was the best out of three we checked. The care is worth it, and the staff is very experienced. There are lots of activities that residents can join.

"Avoid This Facility: Poor Management With Undertrained Staff"

This place is really bad; it doesn't have enough staff, and there's no proper communication. They don't stick to their words. You can try to reach out to the boss, but don't expect to hear back even though they tell you to get in touch. The place isn't clean and most of the staff are really not prepared for the job they're supposed to do.

"Unmet Expectations at Overpriced Assisted Living Facility"

My dad stayed for a year at this facility and eventually moved into the memory care unit. The aides seem uncaring and need more oversight. This place isn't equipped to properly care for patients who can't walk or have dementia, like my dad. My dad, who uses a wheelchair and struggles with dementia, fell many times, some of which they didn't inform me about and often no report was made. Even after asking for safeguards to prevent more falls, nothing was done. Also, there aren't enough activities for him; he's in the same place whenever I visit. Management claims they exceed industry standards, which if true, doesn't say much about the standards overall. While they boast about their extra services, they aren't as great as they sound or are poorly delivered. Remember, you're shelling out over $4000 every month for this. This place needs to be watched closely by family and government inspectors. Although it looks nice, it's the residents' care that matters the most. My dad is now in a VA Nursing Home, where he's healthier and getting the careful attention he needs at a third of the cost.

"Disappointing Service Despite Kind Staff"

Unfortunately, there have been no recent activities in memory care, which is quite disappointing. While I believe that perfection isn't possible anywhere, the care here is still not ideal. The staff, though, is nice. However, items seem to go missing and there's too much free time.

"Mixed Experience at Bloom at Belfair Assisted Living"

My mom's been at Bloom at Belfair for around six weeks. The place looks nice, folks are friendly, and there's plenty to do. But, there are some downsides you should know. The floor plans they show you before you rent might not match up. Our apartment was supposed to be 460 square feet, but it's only 315. And even though the brochure says there's wifi, it doesn't reach the apartments. You'd have to pay an extra $80 a month to get broadband from the local phone company. That's a big cost for someone like my mom, who's watching her spending. It's frustrating, especially since we picked this place over others partly because of these things.

4.5/5.00 Published 10 years ago

"Great staff and care, but activities and food need improvement"

I'm not too excited about the activities here. Most of them seem to be for women, and I wish they had things like woodworking, lectures, or trips to the air force base. I’ve tried the food a few times, and it was okay, but my loved one thinks it could be better. However, the people are great, and the therapists are really good and pay a lot of attention. Overall, my loved one enjoys it.

"Lousy Meals and Unattended Seniors in Depressing Facility"

The meals here are terrible and never warm. It's like my grandma is stuck in Martha Steward's federal prison cell! The rooms are freezing during winter and too hot during summer. It appears that no one cares whether she eats or not. Just last weekend, we found her outside in chilling cold weather with only a sweater, no undergarments, and a single shoe. We've gotten zero response from the manager. He said he would look into it and follow up with us.

"Stunning-looking Bloom at Belfair Disappoints in Quality Care"

Don't let Bloom at Belfair's beautiful appearance and cleanliness fool you. The facility shifted management at the end of 2013. But since October, the quality of care has plummeted. The two nurses in charge appear clueless about running an assisted living facility. They never provide satisfactory answers to questions and seem confused afterward. The care staff is downright rude, with everyone doing as they please. I believe the rent is way too high for the poor quality of care provided. The food is not good at all, and I've found that they served my family Sunday leftovers. I've also overheard staff mocking what patients eat on weekends. Jeff, who's supposed to be in charge, shows an utter lack of concern regarding complaints. Please, think twice before entrusting your loved ones to this facility!

"A beautiful place full of life and joy!"

I found Belfair Gardens to be a beautiful, almost fairytale place that reminded me of my father's younger years. The staff is lively, creative, and some of the best I have ever met. Although my father's health got worse and he couldn’t stay there, I hope to one day be in such a joyful place. If you are looking for a secure area, this facility has a great setup that made me feel confident he was safe. I wish he could have enjoyed more time there, but I highly recommend it.

"New Facility with Great Ambiance; Chose Familiar Community Instead"

This place was new and really nice, but I ended up picking a different one because I already knew some folks there.
