A great place to live

There is plenty of activities to do, with the best activities director. Social night on Friday with wine and beer, with entertainment and games. There is plenty of card games, dominos, there is a billiards room, bean bag baseball, chair volley ball, and other activities like exercise in gym, water arobics, a sauna and other activities as well. There is a bus to take you to doctor appointments and shopping at Walmart and Target. The food has come down a bit in quality from when I first got here. Managers and personn

Great community with amazing extra (time saving) services!

There is a pharmacy that delivers to your door, PT & OT on site, and a Dr that will come right to your room. We have switched to use all of those services. It is great to have the Dr, PT, and pharmacy all taking and working together!

Perfect fit

Moving to Bradford Square was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I love living here. The staff is amazingly warm and friendly and almost all of the residents are happy to be here. The value for my money is fantastic as there are NO extra charges beyond the rent. They don’t nickel and dime you for small things like meal delivery. The food is usually very good and it’s plentiful and available 24/7. I love not having to prepare my own meals. I didn’t realize how isolated I had become living alone. Here there i

High Turnover of management

When I first came here food was a 5. Since then the quality dropped some. Maybe it's the cost of food? Also they change managers often, so things change with each new manager.

Our Experience

The food is very good. Drivers accommodate request for driving, even when they're not scheduled. I just wish that there were more activities that my father-in-law would like as he doesn't play cards doesn't like to work out. That is on him and he's having a rough time completely integrating. It'll take time.

We’re so glad you took a moment to share your thoughts—thank you for the kind words about our food and drivers! It’s great to hear the meals are hitting the spot and that our team’s flexibility with driving requests is making a difference. We totally understand your father-in-law’s journey to fully settle in, especially if cards and workouts aren’t his thing—finding the right fit for activities can take time. Our retirement community is always looking to mix up the options, so we’d love any suggestions for what might spark his interest. We’re here to support him every step of the way and hope to see him thriving soon!
