They post activities but they mostly dont participate because the activities director said no one shows up so she just doesnt follow thru. Staff propped the outside door open 2x with a chair also Mother was taken to the hospital because she pulled out her Pic line they put in while she was in her room due to her being dehydrated!!; by the time someone went back to her room it was as if a blood bomb exploded. When we returned 6 hrs later from the hospital my 87 yr old mother couldn't rest in her room because of her room being a bloody mess. I had to clean and throw away her linen, clean walls her recliner etc of blood. Bradford never apologized or anything. Later they wanted to move her to a different room, the room had a cracked window and aged so badly you couldn't see out. They said they would fix the window but never did. They didnt move her to the private room with the broken window, , they then decided to move her to the prison yard they call memory care. A semi private with no phone, broken tv, peeling paint etc. Since being there she has become depressed, her decline is rapidly changing, and personal items are missing. The yard is baron, the sidewalk is cracked, the wall above my mother's bed: there is paint peeling off the wall and you can rest assured staff will have a "pat" answer. They will twist words and play the blame game very effectively. I must say that during the time my Mother has been there i have had the pleasure of meeting some wonderful caregivers, they are not all unpleasant. I have complained about things and was told they dont have enough staff. There are some bad apples at the Bradford, but for the most part the overworked staff are very nice

Horrible place to have such kind staff. If you really care about your loved ones please don’t use the facility. They are. very professional with communication skills and that’s it. They will let your loved one lay there and do nothing for them!! All I’m saying is when the hospital tells you they have done nothing to care for your loved one that is very sad and wrong . Staff even have kids at the nursing station guess they are the ones being taken care of very in appropriate!

This objective review is based on our personal experiences at the Bradford. We had a resident at this facility about a month ago. Saddly we should have read the reviews and spoke to families with loves at the facility currently & or recentely. I observed the staff at the Bradford to be nasty, lazy and disrespectful. During our family member discharge meeting the nurse manager informed me that the therapist (s ) have to see other patients. Mind you no one was held hostage and everyone present was over the age of 21. Furthermore she choose to ignore our family member by only asking the family if they have any questions as opposed to also asking if the Bradford resident has any questions and or concern. This action speaks volume to the attitude of the Bradford staff and mangementment. This manager called me cognitively impaired. This is not true. I was shocked, appalled and dismayed. Also during the discharge meeting the social worker consumed valuable time repeatedly talking about her family and her education. Who cares ! We took off work for a discharge meeting in regard tobour loved one. - No one else. Pleaae throughly due your honework. And remove your family member promply, if nessary.

This is a brief summary. Earlier today (24 March) the Bradford social worker falsely accused my family of stealing a facility wheelchair. This false allegation is solely based on the facility alleging that it could not locate this wheelchai and perhaps our race. Mind you we were watched by two facility employees while my family member caught into the car and drove away-- no one stopped us. Why? We did nothing wrong. The facility administrator urged us to return if needed . I stated there is NO WAY that would EVER happen. My family have deep connections in the healthcare community. I will share my defamation and slander of character experience with others. And NOT refer potential clients to the Bradford nasty conditions, for example trash left overflowing for days.

On Valentine's Day, I witnessed the most culture driven activity for skilled nursing facility that I had seen in some time. Stephen Peterson, Tamara Grimm and the staff of kind-hearted caregivers at the Bradford hosted a Beauty Pageant to spread LOVE throughout their facility! The activity led by Heather Myers; Activity Director, was a huge success for the residents and families, alike. The families came dress to impress to support their beauty queens in a variety of categories. The categories ranged from best conversationalist to best smile. Way to go for shifting the atmosphere in your healthcare community!!
