Bloom Senior Living

The Bloom is by far the best community, I have looked at for my father. The staff is friendly, and helpful. The building is clean and beautiful. My father is very happy there. They are willing to accommodate on just about anything, and truly care. I will be recommending this community to my friends.

Great size (small), single story. Tucked in quiet residential community. Facility appearance was clean and well managed. Katy Hanks, my guide, was extremely helpful and reassuring with my questions about finding the right place for Mom. During the extensive tour with Katy, was able to meet both staff and residents, all who seem happy and engaged.

Really liked the community that it is small and intimate. The staff is really nice and answered all pertain questions. Will be taking my mother in law for a tour and go from there. The place is like an apt bldg and very homey.

Building and grounds are beautiful. l met some staff members and found them to be warm and caring. Lunch was served and was very good and served attractively. All residents appeared content and comfortable.

The reviews I read did not do justice. I almost did not tour, and now I have my mother here. We are very pleased with all the help that we received.

The whole staff was very, very friendly. It seemed to me to be a clean place. They had excellent food there in the dining hall. Overall, it was just a very nice and good experience with Bloom at Bossier.

They just came kept telling us it was going to be assisted living and it's independent living right now and they just always keep saying "it's gonna be next week", so in my opinion the lady just lied a lot when the truth would have been better. It is really a nice place though.

The staff are friendly and very accommodating. I was able to pick out the paint for my studio and decide on wood or carpet for flooring. There is a full kitchen even in the studio! All three meals are included and there are tons of activities to participate in if interested. All the residents welcome you with open arms. Very happy with my decision.

I think the level of care is good for the value. Facility is clean and always smells good. Resident is able to care for herself with grooming and has a variety of activities available. Overall no issues with the facility and happy with the care given.

Overall organization is very helpful and responsive. Little confusion with clothes getting hung up upon admission. Administration needs some organization and this was the best one of three facilities looked at. The value is above all with care and staff is very experienced. Numerous activities that patient can join.

Overall, it's a really, wonderful place, I think, for her. I enjoy the people who are there; they are accommodating; great. If I need to talk to them, they are there and answer my questions; they have come in and answered her question. The location is great because it is located near me. Cost is really typical of facilities of the kind. She isn't really doing anything. They have lots of things that people can do.

We really love the new home for my father-in-law. Thank you to A Home For Mom for helping us find just the right home for him!

Everyone is so caring and they truly put the residents first and make everyone feel welcome and at home! Such a beautiful place!!

I found Belfair Gardens a beautiful almost fairytale step back in time to the youthful years of my father. The staff is some of the most alive, vibrant and creative that I have ever met. Although my father's condition dramatically worsened preventing him from remaining at that facility, I hope that one day I might be put in such a wonderland of stimulation and joy as I found there. If you were looking for a locked ward as my father needed, this facility has a true secure set up that left me knowing with confidence that he was there and safe without question. I wish he had been able to enjoy a longer time there before his condition made him in need of a different facility but I strongly and highly recommend it.

Sometimes it is hard to find the nurse in the evenings. It is a nice place, I would recommend it. There is not always a nurse or someone to talk too when I visit. The nurse is on 2 floors, so sometimes I do not see her. Only issue we have really had is when my loved one had been over medicated. It was taken care of very quick. One of our family members visits daily.

The community is very nice, but the studio apartments are on the smaller side. However they are pet friendly which I love and the food overall is pretty good - not restaurant style but its pretty good.

Don't be afraid to ask questions, especially if it's your first time going down this road. If I had a second go-around, I would have more specific follow-up questions after their general presentation. For example, do they have a la carte care services you can add on, manicure/pedicure, etc. The term "all-inclusive" includes only what they provide, not necessarily what you would like to see them provide. Middle management has been very cooperative, supportive and understanding, and very much in compliance. They're very receptive if you contact them with a concern. The caregivers, it depends. Some are exceptionally good, and some just do their job. But I recognize that it's a very difficult job to do, and I have tremendous empathy for them. I think the staff to resident ratio is unrealistic, even though theirs is better than the minimum required ratio. I haven't tasted the food, but it appears to be well presented, and I see no issue with portions or things of that nature. They have weekly off-campus bus trips where they go out to lunch or visit museums and a variety of places. I would like to see them do more of that, but they seem to keep the residents pretty well engaged. I just wish that some of the field trips weren't at an additional charge but instead were included in the monthly fee as part of the services. The value is good, but I would pay even more for them to do more.

Very caring people! They address concerns quickly.

My Mom lived in this community for a very short time in 2018. Myself and 3 brothers really liked this place the most. My Mom suffered from Lewey Body Dementia and her condition changed very quickly. It is privately owned. I wish we moved her in much sooner so she could have enjoyed it more. Nice place. I will keep in mind if I or anyone I know needs more care in a Senior Living Community. They have more than 1 floor plan, it's all on level and the owner is very active with everyone that lives in this little community which is all on one level.

After a terrible ordeal at another facility, I moved my sister to Bloom at Eagle Creek. I knew she would miss her friends and Bible study groups, but I also knew she would adjust. She absolutely "bloomed" at Bloom! The staff was exceptional. Registered nurses during the day and staff to assist on the weekends and in the evenings. The facility is neat and clean and staff did a terrific job of cleaning her room, maintaining her laundry, assisting in her overall health care and providing meals. She loved the activities director who is marvelous and provided things she had never done before... Manicure Mondays, frequent trips for shopping. Very much a family atmosphere. She stayed until she was "called home." She loved it there!
