I visited this facility

We toured Eugene H. Bloom Retirement Center, and the woman who gave us a tour was nice. The facility was nice. The residents that we saw and spoke to a couple seemed happy. They do the meals and your laundry, and it's an extra fee to get your laundry done. They said the residents are free to leave if they want to go to their families for the weekend. They give them their pills that they need for the weekend, and come back. We saw a single room, and they showed us one with two people. They had a room that I cal…

I toured Eugene H. Bloom Retirement Center. What I liked best were the people, the staff, and the cleanliness. What I liked least, which I think is probably a common challenge for all locations, was having wheelchairs in the hallway, like empty wheelchairs just kind of sitting around, just didn't make it feel right. As for the vacant rooms, they might be vacant for a reason, but they are still being shown. The bathroom areas of these rooms need a more thorough cleaning, even though it's vacant. The size o…

My mother has moved into Eugene H. Bloom Retirement Center. It's a nice place. We chose it because it's convenient. It's in the town where she lives and she knows a lot of people staying there. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They have TV, crafts and stuff like that, and a hair salon.

Overall it's always clean, quiet, and seems well run.The staff knows my grandpa by name and remembers us when we come to visit. That's a nice touch. They have some trips and excursions he can go…

I am impressed with this facility for several reasons. My grandmother suffers from alzhimers and cant hear much at all. She is very well taken care of. She is always clean and the staff takes time with her. They hug on her and play with her. She is very playful as her only form of communication is through facial expressions and laughter. The facility itself always seems clean and does not have that "nursing home smell". I have attended events there at Christmas and Mother's Day. They really try to sh…
