    Warm, clean community with caveats

    My mom has lived here nearly three years and I've been very involved. The facility is beautiful, very clean and homey with roomy private rooms, patios and multiple sitting areas; staff are generally caring, long-tenured and responsive - nurses, aides, kitchen and activities teams stand out. They provide medication and ADL assistance, three meals a day, daily exercise, Bingo, music, church services and regular outings; sign-in/sign-out security and pet therapy add peace of mind. Meal quality and management consistency have been uneven - excellent some days, disappointing others - and there have been staffing/management concerns families should ask about. Overall a warm, independent community I'd recommend with the caveat to tour carefully, confirm staffing and costs, and check privacy by building.

    About The Bungalows at Springfield East

    The Bungalows at Springfield East, run by Phoenix Senior Living, gives older adults different ways to live, whether folks want independent living, need some help each day, memory care, or skilled nursing care. The community offers a mix of single rooms, studios, and one- or two-bedroom suites with private decks, patios, or balconies, plus kitchenettes, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and all utilities included in the price, which is convenient for most people who prefer knowing their costs upfront, and some pets are welcome, which means folks don't always have to leave behind their furry friends. The food comes from a chef with three meals a day in a restaurant-style dining room, but there's also room service and special meal plans for folks with dietary needs, and guests can join for meals too, which is handy when family comes over.

    For activities and social life, the place stays busy, since they've got Tai Chi classes, cooking clubs, gardening groups, story time, live performances, outings for day trips, social gatherings, musical groups, and even book discussion clubs, so there's always something for different interests, and a fitness center, game room, outdoor patios, and walking paths for folks who want to move around outside or gather with others. The staff gets regular ethics training and provides companion care, help with walking or using wheelchairs, and will go along to doctor's visits if needed, and they help with medication, bathing, dressing, grooming, nail care, laundry, housekeeping, and dry cleaning, which covers most daily needs.

    People can use the salon or barber for haircuts right on site, and there are religious services inside for those who want them. There's support for getting VA benefits, and folks can pay with credit cards. The place offers Wi-Fi/high-speed internet and cable TV, and there are washers and dryers for use, which many folks like for convenience. The community supports people living with Alzheimer's, dementia, diabetes, incontinence, or who need help walking, and they offer personalized health plans, daily wellness checks, and occupational and physical therapists visit on a schedule, so folks get care highly matched to what they need.

    Seniors who live here have access to transportation for shopping and appointments, which helps people stay independent even if they don't drive, and parking is available for residents and their guests. There's respite care for shorter stays, and folks can shift between care levels if their needs change over time, all on the same campus. The Bungalows at Springfield East focuses on creating a safe, comfortable place where older adults can stay active, have support when they want it, and keep up with hobbies, friends, and good meals in a relaxed setting.
