We really liked the secure grounds. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and asked in-depth important questions. The residents seemed engaged with their activities.

Exceeded expectations

The staff are Amazing! Very knowledgeable, caring, personable, quick to respond and follow through when issues arise. The staff went above and beyond to help my mother in law and my family with move in, adjustment process, and ongoing needs. The facility is very clean and has a cheerful environment. The large courtyard is wonderful. They offer a lot of activities for the residents and I love that they have weekly outings. They also have an app called LifeLoop which is wonderful for families. It has been really n

It all worked out in the end

Overall, things have been okay, though there were 3 serious snafus when she first moved in, and I was questioning whether I made the right decision. That said, the issues seem to have been resolved. Also, the rooms are small, especially the doubles, and tend to be dark. The place I looked at in Ferndale, had bigger rooms and was less expensive, but would have meant an hour drive round trip at least once per week which was the biggest reason I stayed with Bellingham at Orchard.

I had a positive experience visiting The Bellingham at Orchard. I was searching for a facility for a family member for short term respite care seeking memory care and this facility was one of the memory care places I checked out. I had a great tour with facility manager. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and my questions and concerns were readily answered. I did take advantage of the respite care here for my family member, for two weeks and I am very glad he had that experience. The staff kept me informe
