My mother is a residence here. From the moment you walk in you feel as though it is Home. Everyone that works there is so pleasant. They take good care of my mom. They check in on her. They give her her meds. They do her laundry. They take out the trash the place is spotless. So many activities are at Bonaventure. It’s truly a wonderful place.

There are things that we love about Bonaventure of Salem. The manager, Kelly, works very hard and interacts with the residents well. People and staff overall are very friendly. The dining experience is improving from what we experienced for a few months. The Pub is absolutely great with a great short order menu and friendly wait staff there. I do witness that there is an effort to listen to the residents and their feedback. (This review has been updated. 3/26/2025

My dad was living at Bonaventure for 2.5 years. Since management has changed over the past year this place has been a blessing. Kelly, Hilary and Angie are the best. They have helped us cope in too many ways to mention here. Prior management was terrible, we had continuing problems with staff turn over and management changes and at one point nearly moved. That all changed with the new team. Great people to work with now. They still need improvements with lower levels of staff turnover. I’m guessing if the company paid more their staff would be more encouraged to stay. Elders need consistency with care providers and I hope the company sees that and can make some changes. The food could be much improved. My dad was often served cold food with no flavor. If these changes were made I would give them 5 stars.
