Brookdale

Emeritus of Melbourne is a beautiful campus with lots of Oaks and shade. The community is very nice, with a large, open dining room that opens to the lovely courtyard. The rooms are nicely sized and the staff is very friendly. The residents seem very happy. The memory care unit did have a lingering odor, but the residents seemed well cared for. We chose another community for my mom, but I would recommend a tour and consideration for Emeritus. We previewed 6 different communities and Emeritus was definitely a consideration. Jill (their Exec Director) is a wonderful lady, very friendly and patient. She was happy to assist several residents with anything they needed.

So far they've done a good job at Emeritus at Memorial. It's a very clean, nice looking place, and the staff have all been very friendly and professional. They're very easy to work with and have been very accommodating of any requests we've had. There were a few issues at the start since I don't think they were entirely prepared for how high energy my loved one is, but things have since worked out fine.

We toured this community when we were looking into care options for a loved one. This place looked very nice overall. It was a nice clean facility, and the staff all seemed friendly and helpful. In the end we decided another facility we toured would probably be a better fit.

They were great. They could have done a little better with the cleaning. The staff was great! They were very responsive, and they had a good variety of activities. He enjoyed the food there, and we don't really have any complaints.

My parent has only been here a week so really too soon to rate this location. My parent is not adjusting too well yet but I believe it's more to do w/her than Emeritus.

Friendly engaging staff whose care and encouragement have helped mom be more engaged and active. Very pleasant surroundings are very positive.

I didn’t like it there because it was trying to be too high class and I felt like their dining service sucked. They used more decorations and space dividers. So there was a lot of waiting in line to get in and eat. They had good facilities, but the dining room could be better.

My father will move in soon. Do far it's his favorite place.

My review is for the memory care. The staff is very nice. I think the laundry could stand to be done more often. There is an outside area for residents to enjoy. The area inside the memory care section is large with lots of room to walk around.

Susan gave me a good tour. The facility is about to be renovated, so I don't think it will be on my short list.

My Mother is staying at Emeritus and seems quite happy. Everyone is extremely friendly and I feel like she is getting good care. She likes the food very well. They have a nice courtyard to sit outside.

It is a very nice building and has a clean interior as well. My mother hasn't really been able to utilize their care services that much because she doesn't need that much assistance, but the staff seem to care about their residents and are very friendly. They also offer lots of activities. The downsides are that it is a bit expensive, and it doesn't have an Alzheimer's wing. If you are able to afford $3100/month and don't have a loved one with advanced Alzheimer's though, this might be a good choice!

The Villas at Albany meets all of my interests. The residents are closer to my age of 74 than where I had previously been staying. The meals are like old fashioned home cooking, not institutional. Both the staff and residents are very friendly and helpful.

The residents are more active, Roby was really friendly. dining area is like a restaurant and orders are taken at meals, like Prestige but the menu is only two items. I like this the best so far, the food is good, many staff members took time to introduce themselves, people had dogs, people were walking laps, the residents seemed more together than the smaller faclities but this place will manage through death. really nice central court yard. cost is consistent or lower than some others sudh as Farmington.

They do a pretty good job. The staff is friendly, and it's a clean community. She loves the food, I would give it a five. Sometimes she says it takes a little while to get to her when she has to go to the bathroom. I'm not there so I am not sure if it's just her or if it really is taking a while, I have not timed them, but it is something I have heard.

I give them a cautious four, it was clean they were nice, but they really put the hard sell on my loved one to stay there. We did not like that at all. They tried to tell us that our loved one liked it more than they did. When our loved one came home they said, it was nice but that they knew how much money they had and Emeritus wanted it, even my loved one could feel the sale. This was just a short term respite stay. The food was good. They did not do a good job of getting them to take their medicine, Emeritus had a good excuse for everything. Would I use them again in a respite situation? Maybe, but I wasn't happy about the hard sell. It was nice facility, and they seem to be well run, the other residents were nice.

Emeritus At Meadowlands Terrace was by far the most pleasant facility we visited. It was decorated cheerfully, free of smells and full out alert bright eyed residents. It is the best facility for my Dad and therefore we have placed him there.

Got off to bad start. The $1900 special ended up being cover $3000. After a 2nd meeting got some charges reduced. Now $2700. Also, there's a $1500 fee to evaluate and setup paperwork and meds. Did not know this at first. No one helped with moving in. Had to wait several minutes each time we came in with items for door alarm to be decoded. However, a week later have found employees very nice and Dad is getting along well with all. David, Exec Director is great. I am finding the end result to be positive.

Everything there has been very good. Their caregivers do a really good job. They do seem to have enough activities, even though my loved one doesn’t do a lot of activities. From the time we started dealing with us, they’ve just been very helpful. The staff has been outstanding. They work well with my wife when it comes to medications and things.

They were extremely helpful and I really appreciated them doing everything they could to help my dad. They were really helpful. We never really got the chance to complete the move in, but I really did appreciate all they did.
