When my mother-in-law, a resident for two years, was sick in ICU, she couldn't wait to go "home, where my friends are, and my cook, Tom!" They don't try to be the fanciest place in town, but it's a warm, homelike atmosphere where she's happy. When Mama was able, every time the wheels rolled on the activity bus, she was on it. When asked where she was going, she would say, "I don't know, but I know I'm going to have fun!" The units or cottages are small enough that those who live there feel like family to each other. It's almost impossible to re-create that feeling in a larger facility. The food is awesome...nutritious and tasty. They're quite accommodating for special dietary needs, too. If you were thinking of placing a loved one here, or going yourself, I think you would be pleased. We are!

The staff was warm and welcoming to mom and they did not hard sell or push her into anything. It was all about the facts and finding what she wanted. The benefits for future care were very appealing to her and despite being hesitant to make new friends in a community. She has flourished. Each time I stop by or call she is at dinner with new friends, running around the area or telling me about the new work out she did in the gym today. I found my mom is much happier and calmer now. She feels safe at BVE and not lonely. She has more time to work on her hobbies now doesnt worry about the future. Personally I found the staff is always so nice and caring. To them they are family and they treat them as family. I highly recommend anyone looking to take a tour with Debby Williams. She was great. Thanks Bill R

But we noticed a lot of the people there looked like they didn't get drug tested as we were walking out of the elevator to look at some of the rooms, I notice two people on the corner with a drug cart, doing stuff, hiding drugs doing drugs. I don't know if they're supposed to be licensed med techs but it just seemed really weird. We asked if we can sit to have dinner to give it a try. The nice lady said yes that was giving us the tour. The food there was HORRIBLE My daughters burger was burnt mine was raw we found a bug on the table. And said some thing and the waitress said to us that it's a new bag of lettuce that we thought it came from that, but didn't know..If you plan on bringing your mother or father here I suggest you ask if they do background checks and also do your research online PLEASE Also if there's any health department that checks these facilities, this one definitely needs to be checked ASAP. The foods horrible these poor elderly people have to eat and it was horrible. If someone reads this, please make sure to have health department check this out. Also do drug testing randomly on these people because I feel like a lot of them do drugs there, just by looking at them.And seeing some suspicious things going on there.

I'm a caring, compassionate, empathetic nurse who totally can understand we are in the residents homes working for them and I go above and beyond each and everyone of them (residents). The short time I worked there I met so many nice people (residents) who really appreciated things I did for them. Well I got walked out for a hearsay a coworker said. Management don't care about who is good for the residents they didn't even listen to what I had to say it was no harm to anybody and they walked me out. Breaks my heart knowing how good I was for the people living there they could just walk me out. I would say seventy percent of staff are there because they love making a difference and helping the residents live life to it's fullest. The dietary manager is awesome and the food is great. Good luck to you if you take a loved one there.
