    Caring staff, inconsistent management, recommend

    I was very impressed by the caring, first-name staff, high cleanliness, engaging activities, and restaurant-style meals - the on-site RN and quick medication/health follow-up gave our family real peace of mind. Memory care felt secure with locked doors and good social programming, and the community felt homey and well kept. That said, I noticed inconsistent management/staffing at times (overworked aides, occasional neglect, odors, incomplete laundry), studios can be small, and costs are high. Overall I would recommend with reservations: excellent, attentive care when the team is fully staffed, but expect variability and ask detailed questions before signing up.

    About Bellamar Lancaster

    Bellamar Lancaster sits in a purpose-built, hacienda-style building close to a bus line, offering sixty roomy studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments with kitchenettes, private or shared restrooms, emergency alert systems, and options for furnished living spaces. The community has indoor and outdoor gathering spots, a library, a gallery, a craft room, a Generations Activity Room, an entertainment area, and a discovery room. Residents can keep cats or dogs, use resident parking, and enjoy wheelchair-accessible buildings and showers. Bellamar allows pets and even provides pet care, which is nice for people who want their companions nearby.

    Bellamar provides Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care under one roof and supports aging in place, so residents don't need to move as their needs change. Nurses and health staff work around the clock, offering help with bathing, dressing, incontinence, medication management, and transfers. The secured memory care unit employs technology, like bracelets with alarms, to help prevent wandering and support those with dementia, mild cognitive impairment, and even residents who are prone to getting lost or acting out. The staff can assist people with diabetic care, including insulin injections, and provides support for residents with behavioral or physical challenges. Bellamar gives non-ambulatory or physically aggressive residents a safe setting and offers standby or assisted transfers, including mechanical lifts.

    Dentist, podiatrist, and doctor-on-call services come right to the building. Onsite speech, occupational, and physical therapy services are available. Additional health support includes incontinence care, behavioral health services, and hospice and respite care services. Private housekeeping, linen, and laundry services, along with meal provision-including vegetarian, low sodium, low sugar, private dining room, and room service choices-get handled by the staff, and residents can also get help with cooking or grocery shopping if needed.

    Bellamar's schedule is always full with both onsite and offsite activities, such as yoga, stretching, gardening, art and music classes, brain fitness programs, live well programs, karaoke, Wii bowling, games, trivia, outings, and wine tasting. A full-time activity director keeps things lively, and residents have access to devotional services, intergenerational programs, and veteran support. The community fosters interaction and friendships with many events, while also providing quiet, comfortable common spaces indoors and outside for relaxing or socializing.

    Complimentary and paid transportation helps residents get to appointments and events, which is practical if you don't drive yourself. The building is wheelchair accessible throughout, with easily reached showers and restrooms. Bellamar Lancaster is owned by Prestige Care, part of Integral Senior Living, and operates under state license number 197602540. The community runs a smoke-free policy in all private and public indoor areas, supports independence, and prides itself on features that protect autonomy and dignity for every resident. The community is undergoing a remodel and a name change, and staff aim to help all residents enjoy a worry-free retirement, with help always nearby and a good balance of independence and support.
