Overall Review of Bonaventure of Salem

caveat 2 reviews mention this

Medicaid isn’t accepted

Medicaid non-acceptance is a deal-breaker for some families evaluating care needs.

At least a couple of reviewers say the community does not accept Medicaid, which becomes a concern when residents eventually exhaust their funds. One family describes choosing a different option specifically because they wanted the possibility of transitioning to Medicaid later. Another reviewer likewise lowered their rating due to this limitation.

caveat 2 reviews mention this

Move-in can be bumpy

Some families report problems during the move-in process.

A couple of reviews mention early move-in issues that took longer than expected to resolve. One reviewer describes challenges getting settled and says they were eventually overcome, while another describes delays related to the room being ready and basic setup concerns. Even with these issues, some families still report being happy after settling in.
