Seeing it from the front it looks quite nice, much like a hotel, but from the back, it appears like a prison. The gardens are not very well kept, and when walking around it to the Little Town Players area, there were people smoking which was wasn’t very pleasant.

Thanks for giving me an opportunity leave my rating along with my opinion. I would have also left feedback on care as well as quality of paid amenities if I was either asked about those things or had to pay for those things outside of my own home. Once again, Thanks

I have visited this community on several occasions and found the team to be very attentive and kind. The building is a historical landmark in Bedford and shows well for its age! The residents enjoy a beautiful dining room, nice activity center and open common spaces! The staff caring for the residents know them and their needs!

While I can only rate the Christmas light show that I drove through tonight, I cannot rate this place as an assisted living community as I have never been inside nor know anyone who has, but it does look like a very nice place and I can tell they go through a lot of work to get it looking so good. If you are in the area it is definitely worth a drive-through and remember to shut your headlights off. There may be a long line of cars but it moves pretty fast and it's well worth it! There's nothing better to put you in the Christmas spirit!
