Wonderful facility. Very welcoming and well maintained. Unfortunately the cost for a respite stay was way out of our price range. Hoping to get a short respite stay of 1 week apparently it is not available in most facilities. The minimum stay is 30 days which would be more than $[removed]. I understand level of care does drive the price up a bit . It’s just unfortunate a shorter stay isn’t an option for care givers who need a short reprieve.

Arbors of Bedford

Staff was always readily available. Location and appearance of the facility were the main reasons we chose Arbors of Bedford.

Great Experience!

My mom has been living at Arbors for almost a year now and it's been a great experience overall. The staff is welcoming and I love seeing the managers out and about with the staff and residents. They have a dog too! Nothing like being greeted by a sweet lab named [Name Removed]. Programs are 7 days a week and nurses is there around the clock. If my mom declines, she doesn't have to move. The building is older, but Arbors has been around for at least a decade, so it goes to show how good they are. My Mom isn't alway

Personal Care in an Engaging Community

Staff who know the residents and genuinely care. Good communication. Programs that engage the residents. Especially live music a few times a month. My husband sang every song. Staff has ability to calmly redirect residents. Beautiful clean facility, with courtyards for outside enjoyment. Several open comfortable living areas. Good food. Extra hydration offered at end of a group activity. Very clean facility.
