Review for Bear Creek Senior Living

We've had a very good experience at Bear Creek. I would recommend Bear Creek to people looking for a place. All interactions with all staff so far have been great!

I enjoyed my tour but, my mom needs a more independent living situation. The apartment was very small and did not have a kitchen. Other facilities I toured had more room and a kitchen.

overall a nice community

The staff is great! They all know my dad and are very kind to him. His room and other areas are clean. They always have some kind of activity going on. My biggest complaint would be the food. Not the best quality is selection.

Easier Transition than Expected

I really like Best Creek but most of all, mom likes Bear Creek. She seems like a whole different person. She's well fed, happy, has people to talk to, meets new people daily and enjoys visiting ones she's shared a meal with before. She takes a pan and paper with her to renege who she meets new at each meal. Her meds are regulated and she doesn't just sit and watch the game channel all day. She hangs her clothes in the closet (She wasn't doing this at home). She's dressed in nice outfits everyday, doesn't talk about
