“I am the daughter of two residents. My Mom lives on the memory care side, while my Dad lives on the independent living side. They have been married for 64 years and their love story is like the movie 'the Notebook.' They are inseparable. I have a full time job and a husband with MS myself to take care of. So, we moved Mom to a facility but it was not capable of offering us the care we needed for Mom’s condition or Dad’s need to be near her. We finally discovered that your community was being developed. We went for a tour and immediately fell in love with the concept, the Administrator, her staff and the layout, and to make it even more perfect, they understood. They understood the need for my parents not to be separated. Mom was Belfair Garden’s first resident. We immediately adopted the staff as our own family. They are truly the most caring and compassionate group of individuals and I feel very comfortable leaving my loved ones in their care. Like they are always saying: 'it is all about the residents and what is best for them.' They have truly made a beautiful, loving environment for them to spend their last days together and we are constantly creating lovely new memories, many laughs and lots of hugs.”

“It was a difficult adjustment leaving my home of 50 years, but the staff made me feel so incredibly welcome as well as my new friends made it so much easier. The number of activities and variety of choices has helped me enjoy life again. The nursing staff works extremely hard to provide us the care we need. I am enjoying my life here very much.”

“It’s hard to believe that mom’s one year anniversary is here. Looking back over the past year, mom transitioned so well. We thank the caring staff for all they do for her. From making sure she has well balanced meals to looking in on her at night if she’s not feeling well. With nurse assistance, she now takes her daily medicine. I know that sounds minor. But for mom, that means she has cut out dozens of trips to the hospital like the year before she moved in. She loves the activities the community offers. Once again, we can’t thank the caring staff enough for what they do to make mom happier and healthier. This has helped her children have peace of mind! God bless the staff. Congrats on your perfect survey for the second year in a row."

“We chose your community for its location and the pleasing appearance. It’s beautiful with lovely furnishings that make one feel comfortable. The residents and staff are very friendly and welcoming. It is comforting to know that my mom will be taken to doctor’s appointments if I am not available. She is served 3 meals a day and she likes to say ‘I don’t have to cook and I don’t have to clean up.’ My mother has interaction with other residents whom she can socialize and play cards. They look out for one another. The activities provided are another asset. It is wonderful to know that my mother is in a safe comfortable environment. My mother has been here 6 ½ years which is a testament in and of itself!”

“I love everything. I LOVE the friendly environment. When I moved in over a year ago, I did not know where anything was and other residents would not only tell me, but escort me to where I needed to be. I see a lot of smiles throughout my day from not only residents but staff as well. My Life Enrichment Coordinator does manicures for all of us (men too) once a week. Although I do not need help with my laundry, the staff is available if I ever do. They are there for me with my bathing and personal needs. I love all the activities such as Bingo, Pokeno, and am staying in close touch with my spiritual needs. Breakfast is my favorite meal and I look forward to the Chef's fish and Chef Salads. The large sprawling front porch is delightful where we all visit with one another"

“I chose your community for its nice ambiance. Everyone is friendly and welcoming right when you walk in the door. The staff is very compassionate. The food is delicious and the dining experience is great. I wouldn’t change a thing!”

One of the many features that set our community apart is our unique "Live-In Manager" program. Our Wellness Director and I are residents, living in the community and sharing our lives with the seniors we are dedicated to serving. The residents are my extended family. I look forward to seeing them in the morning when I wake-up and at night when I go to sleep. Living with them has changed my life. And their families take great comfort knowing that I am a caregiver, neighbor and friend.

Bloomfield Senior Living's Five Star Dining Program
At Bloomfield Senior Living, our professionally trained Culinary Team offers its signature five star Dining Program. We recognize that fine dining and diet is one of the most important aspects of a senior's life. Mealtime is often considered the most anticipated event of the day.
Our talented Executive Chefs make delicious and nutritious home-cooked meals from scratch every day for our residents using only the freshest, high-quality seasonal ingredients. Recognizing that aging can impact our taste buds and sense of smell, our culinary experts select ingredients and flavors that are tasty and smell delicious. In collaboration with our Registered Dieticians, we incorporate resident's personal recipes, special requests, old time favorites and dietary needs, so our multi-course gourmet menus are customized with their health, personal tastes and preferences in mind. We are consistently introducing exciting new cuisines, including Bloomfield Senior Living's staple family recipes, for the community to enjoy. With a rich assortment of menu options at every meal, our residents are always satisfied.
Residents enjoy comfortable restaurant-style dining in our elegantly appointed dining rooms. All meals are served by our dedicated, friendly wait staff. Just as dinner tables had been the center of family gatherings throughout the years, our residents continue that tradition by sharing stories with friends and neighbors about their busy and exciting lives within the community.
In addition to traditional dining, our residents enjoy casual al fresco dining, picnics, barbeques and themed food nights with family and friends. When residents want to relax in the comfort of their own apartment, we offer room service. Or, if residents are jetting off to an activity, casual take-out or "to-go" snack service is available. The intimate, private dining room with in-house catering can be reserved to celebrate a special event. Anytime snacks and beverages are always on hand in our cafés, casual pubs or ice cream parlors.
Our renowned team of culinary professionals have spent decades serving seniors. They are uniquely prepared to address any accommodation, are properly certified and have won numerous world-class dining awards and distinctions.
