The Bellingham at Orchard by Cogir

The staff were friendly, helpful and are problem solvers. The layout of Bellingham at Orchard is spacious, honey and they have three courtyards! It seems that there are activities both indoor and outdoor with new ones being tried.

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.

Amazing staff

The staff was happy, it seemed like they really care about their residents. The facility is also very clean

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.

Wonderful Staff :)

5's across the board. What we like the most about the community is that the staff are wonderful, they are so kind and patient. And the facility feels warm and welcoming, they do a great job keeping it clean and having activities going on daily.
