My 94 year old mother moved into Connect 55 Bedford two years ago. It did not take us long to realize what a wonderful place this was. Five months ago, we sold our house and also moved into Connect 55 Bedford. We are all so happy, very active, built new friendships and love the casual lifestyle.

Ray and I have been giving some consideration to selling our condo and moving into an apartment. We would definitely consider 55 Connect. The apartments are well laid out, the amenities are great and the people we met are friendly.

Nancy the site manager, Faith the activities coordinator and our newest and best maintenence guy we've had yet, Jon, are to be commended for doing an exceptional job. A facility this large is no easy task to keep in tip-top shape.I highly recommend them for the work they do to make 43 Technology Drive a great place to call home. Thanks to the entire staff
