Review for Bridgeport Place

It was clean, friendly, location, great housekeeping, good looking facility, seasonal decor, activities, transportation....but you are on your own. Supervision is not provided and maybe legally cannot be. So excessive drinking, eating, sexual activity and destructive behavior is possible. Health care is administered and a person's management can exceed the cost of the living space. In our case they did not catch gangrene and he lost his leg. We moved.

They charge extra for everything. $[removed] a month quickly turned into $[removed]. Lack of supervision of residents. This is not memory care! Do not help with Doctors appointments.

What we like the most about Bridgeport Place is that the community is clean. Staff is responsive. Food is sub par. Portions are small. Not enough choices. Service staff has no customer service

Do not place a loved one here, keep looking.

We were there for one week. $[removed] intake fee. Experienced very little patient care. EMT's were called because of anger instead of working with patient. It is a dementia ward. Instead we were asked to leave. Do you ask all challenging patients to leave. Our bill was another $[removed]+ for the week's services. Our experience was one week= over $[removed] which leaves a bad taste in the mouth and I will never recommend your facility to anyone.

I would highly recommend Bridgeport Place.

The care and compassion that my mom received was very close to being family. Additionally, we were all treated with a lot of kindness and compassion when we visited and when we needed anything care related for Mom. I would highly recommend Bridgeport Place.

Lack of communication

I am the POA for a resident who had lived at Bridgeport Place, since 2017. He was an unassisted resident. Meaning he did not have any medical needs, just the normal house cleaning the facility provided. When he moved in, the price for unassisted living was over 3,000. After a while the price increased, at one time the facility increased the rent to 4340. without notice, it was just pulled from the bank. After my due diligence, it was corrected back to 3,400 and some odd amount. Then quickly, raised to 4340. This is still for unassisted living. My dear friend passed away, on [date removed], like clock work the 4340 was pulled from the bank on the 1st of Dec. it is now January, I am still waiting for a refund. Call after call, email after email, no response either by email or phone offering an update on the refund. It is not about the refund, what really matters is if they treat me this way, how much more are they treating other family members this way.

Not recommended

Lack of night time care led to aggressiveness for my loved one here and we were asked to leave. He wasn't here for very long. We ended up paying a very large amount of money for a short unsatisfactory stay of care. I wouldn't recommend them to family and friends.

It ended up costing a ridiculous amount per day because he passed away so soon. They had a minimum charge period, so we had to pay for days even after he died. Including the one time community fee. Make sure those you refer know it is collected even if someone lives there less than 7 days.

I would voluntarily live here

There were a few glitches, but Bridgeport Place was 100% on it. When we checked in we thought we knew what my mom needed, but things changed. Bridgeport said, "Give us feedback - we want to know". I would move here! They were very receptive and the place was so nice. It was just like being in an apartment building. It wasn't like what you would expect of an old nursing home. I strongly, strongly recommend them and I would tell anyone that. We have church friends who have moved in; they sold their house and voluntarily moved in to assisted living. They have excursions and they ask them, "where do YOU guys want to go"? They love that; they love the freedom they have and the way they felt living there.

Would Recommend, Great Place

I like it so much, that I myself would want to go. I told my kids, If they needed a place for me, put me here. My loved one enjoys the food and the staff is very helpful. No complaints outside of the fact that sometimes his neighbor is loud in the night and it wakes him up.

I Would Have No Qualms Sending My Loved One Here

I would say this is a good choice for a community. This is a smaller community and bit more personal for the residents. They are friendly as well. I wish there was more cohesion in communication with the staff, to the caregivers, residents and families.

Good experience so far

We chose Bridgeport Place because we liked the quality of the facility, the fact that they had a nurse on site, the rooms were a nice size and it was clean. The location was good for family as well. The staff members here are very friendly and accommodating. It is very difficult right now with covid and not being able to go inside and visit, but they have been the most accommodating that they can be.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know Washington’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about Washington’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
