Bowman Place at Olde Bedford provides Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care, allowing residents to transition between levels of support without relocating. The community is equipped to manage wandering behaviors in the morning or evening, elopement risks, and residents who stay up all night. Clinical staff can oversee wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, and diabetes management for both oral medications and insulin injections. Advanced dementia care is available, and residents under 60 who need these services are accepted.
A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on staff, background checks are completed for all employees, and an awake night‐shift team monitors residents around the clock. Security features include perimeter fencing, alarmed doors, pull cords in apartments, and a personal emergency response system that alerts staff. An activity director coordinates programming, and on‐site medical services cover podiatry, audiology, dental care, a therapy room, and acceptance of psychiatric issues. For daily living needs, staff can provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and they are trained for mobility support ranging from standby help with a walker to two‐person and Hoyer‐lift transfers.
Living spaces vary, and not every accommodation includes every feature, but options can include a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable, and the ability to paint and decorate. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry are provided, and independent living residents can receive a lighter version of these services with housekeeping, laundry, and a monthly meal plan designed for their needs.
Meals are served from a set menu with an on‐order option at each sitting. Snacks are available throughout the day, in‐room dining can be arranged, and a private dining room may be reserved for family events. The culinary team manages diet modifications such as gluten‐free, vegetarian, mechanical‐chopped, pureed, and thickened‐liquid meals.
Residents have access to on‐site parking, wheelchair‐accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, a movie room, a wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, on‐site religious services, concierge assistance, a library, and special-interest clubs. Transportation is available for scheduled outings, and the property is near public transit. Pets are allowed; it's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
