I liked Bell Trace Senior Living because it seemed like a great community. They have good service and they also have an extended care or nursing home in case something happens. The food was very good. They have lots of activities. The dining room seemed very nice. They had nice librarians. The facility was well maintained. They have transportation to the doctors and every place else, so that was a plus.

My mom is in Bell Trace Senior Living. The staff is very nice. Any time we want something done like we want to change her care a little bit or add another service, they're very willing to do that. They've added things like medicine, reminders, and things like that which come in very handy. Sometimes when I'm on the phone with her, I hear them come to the door and make sure she's taking her medicine. She just always has good things to say about the people that come in and help her, whether it's to help her in the shower or her medicine or help her do some stuff around the apartment. She has the freedom to go down to the little mailbox area or go to some of the little areas they have set out for people to kind of gather and mingle. It's just nice that she has a lot of things to do. They have a place to get her hair done or her nails. They have a nice gym actually for her to go to and do her physical therapy and exercises. We get updates and this is important right now, in the time of COVID. We get emailed updates on the Covid situation there and that's comforting to know that we're kept in the loop. So far, so good. Since she's been there, there have not been any outbreaks or anything like that, so it's good that they are being so careful. They also had people come in for those who wanted to get their booster shot so it can be done right there and that was helpful. We are trying to work with them to get her long-term care started and it's just been kind of a struggle. We're not sure exactly where the ball is being dropped because they said they've got everything in long-term care. We go back to long-term care and say we have proof they've sent the papers and it's just been one of those things where it's not been as easy getting long-term care started as we were told it probably would be. I'm sure that every case is different, so they probably thought it would be easier than maybe it has been. That's the only reason I'm kind of hesitant about giving the highest rating because it's just been a very difficult process. Sometimes it's hard to know exactly where the real problem is when you're dealing with two different entities.

I visited Bell Trace Senior Living Community. Their food was excellent, but the rehab part was awful. They are understaffed, and they had too many cases of COVID. The assisted living part was nice and clean, but it was just like a factory. It wasn't personalized enough, and there wasn't enough staff. It's like a five-story building, and there are apartments in there that are independent living and assisted living. I just didn't feel that it was personalized enough, and it was very, very expensive. The two ladies I met during the tour were very pleasant, though, but it does not affect them.

We chose Bell Trace because it is close to where my mother's home was and connected to many of the communities that she's a part of already. We also felt good about the types of activities that are available at the center; my mother is already in several groups. We feel like it is a good fit. There are some staff members on the night shift that I'm not too happy about. However, the people that I interacted with have all been 5 stars. I'm not excited with the food in the assisted living area nor about some of the things I have seen there. Nevertheless, my mom is involved and doing activities, and I'm very happy about that.

Bell Trace is a full-service place, and it's not as fancy as a lot of places. When a guest is going to use the cottage option, they will completely redo the insides to your tastes, and they're done in a nice way. The cottages are extremely comfortable, and I would buy one as a home. You have to basically buy it, and the money goes back to you (as a percentage) if you leave. It feels like you're moving into a a smaller home that you would want to move to. They have a shuttle bus that will take you to wherever you want, they have scheduled days where they go downtown or to the mall area, and if you need help shopping, they help you. They have a very good exercise program, entertainment, they have a library that's pretty nice, and they have arts and crafts. It's much lower key, it's not like they're trying to cheer you up, and they treat you like an adult. I ate there twice, the food was very good, and they're amenable to doing it the way you want it. It's not fancy food, it's very healthy, well-done, and they have a real chef. If you like to drink wine, you have to bring it yourself, but they don't even have a bottle opener or corkscrew. The staff is nice and friendly, knowledgeable, and they didn't try to hide things.

The rooms were nice at Bell Trace, and the staff seemed very nice. It was very clean. We had a friend who stayed there for a short time, and he really liked it.

i have been familiar with these types of facilities before and the staff at belltrace are very nice and courteous. the facility itself is very nice. it has a small cul de sac community feel to it.Usually these places smell like hospitals, but belltrace is airy and fresh with lots of scenic views and sunlight.

Very good, expensive as is with most assisted livings but they have a great staff. I enjoy the tiered system that allows my loved one to purchase on the services needed instead of paying a flat price for ALL of the services. It's a dynamic facility with many options for independent, assisted living, and 24 hour care. The response time by employees is slow but that's per usual for these kinds of places.
