Bell Trace: Bloomington's Unique Senior Community
Bell Trace is the only locally-owned senior community in Bloomington. We also are the only one that offers Independent and Assisted Living in one building along with separate rehab and long-term skilled nursing facility. Our senior living community features 17 different sizes of apartments ranging from 320 sq ft to 1200 sq ft. In the price range you are looking at we have studio apartments, and two different sizes of one-bedroom apartments. Availability varies according to the type of apartment/cottage you desire. Studio apartment availability is usually 4-6 weeks. The small one-bedroom apartments would likely be 6+ months. It is not uncommon for residents to move into a studio while waiting for a larger one-bedroom apartment.
