Brookdale

A very nice community and quite large. Great followup but we just didn't feel it was the right place for my mother-in-law.

This seemed like a nice community when we visited it. The staff were nice and it looked clean. Mom and I just did not like the feel of this community . This community seemed to be for residents that needed more care than mom does.

We are new residents and have been very pleased with our experiences here at Brookdale. Our apartment is very nice and clean. It is quiet here and very peaceful. The food on the whole is good, however the biscuits in the morning are hard. There needs to be more variety in the breakfast menu. The staff is always helpful and answers our questions. We are enjoying being at Brookdale.

it is going well and my mom is happy. She has been paired with a woman to go to the dining room and she likes the meals. They have activities available and I am encouraging her to participate. Most of the staff are good but I have not been able to to get a hold of the move-in coordinator. No calls have been returned an my mom has gone to the office to find them.

My friend is doing fine at Brookdale Southfield. They offer a lot of activities. My friend likes the food. The staff are reasonable good. They keep the community clean.

My mother loves it there. Her apt is very spacious and light. They even installed laminate flooring since her little dog pees a lot. The food is fair and seems very monotonous, Lots of salt and not real healthy. Not sure if they have special dietary meal plans or not. She has not joined any activities, so I'm not sure about that. She has gone on several trips on the van to Walmart and has gotten rides to Dr. Appts. which is helpful.

My son is doing well at this community. He likes the community a lot. Every time we pick him he always seems to be happy. There are plenty of activities to keep him busy. He likes the meals very much and chef has got acquainted with him checking on his needs. We work very well with the staff and they are very, very nice. The supervision always seems to be available when needed.

After approximately 45 in Brookdale Grandon Farms, my parents have found the staff to be very friendly and helpful with their daily needs. Most of this time was in the memory care unit due to my mom who has dementia but they have recently been moved to the assisted living section of the facility. This review is mostly based on the memory care unit experience. The common area of the memory care unit is dark, no windows or outside light, due to the blueprint of the facility. Meal quality is just about average with a limited menu in this section of Brookdale. Main issue is with the management of the facility in that is takes a lot of effort to get things done. They say they will do something, but it rarely gets done in a timely fashion. It takes the family or the resident to stay on top of the issue. For a facility that commands a high rate, I don't see the value but it was the only facility to allow my parents to live together since my dad just needs assisted living and my mom needs more attention. I commend their effort in making my parents happy.

During the search for a memory care facility for my parents, my father passed away. Erica, at Brookdale Utica was very compassionate and sympathetic. We toured the facility a couple of times. Although, I chose not to move my mom from the assistive facility she was at, I would definitely consider Brookdale Utica in the future. I especially like the individual dining rooms for each "wing of rooms". The staff was courteous and the facilities were clean.

The community is kept decently clean. Our loved one's room is only vacuumed and the toilet has yet to be cleaned. Upon arrival the quality and variety of food was great but the menu has changed. It may be that they lost their chef but it needs to be addressed. The activities director does a great job trying to get our loved one involved in the variety of activities available. The community is listening to our concerns and is trying to address them.

The staff seem polite and friendly. This community is a little far away for us. The community is clean and seemed great. They allow pets and offer a variety of activities.

The staff were nice and the community was clean. They offered a wide variety of activities. The room they showed us was small and not as nice as the room at the community we chose. This community also did not offer a memory care unit and we did need this.

The Brookdale Murrieta is an assisted living and we were looking for something different for my loved one. During my tour they notified us of the activities that are offered and their services. The guide that took me on tour answered my concerns. Overall i felt that the community was clean and organized, but the price was high.

Kitchen cabinets missing from newly remodeled room. Have not arrived, unorganized kitchenette. Overall good so far :)

The Brookdale Madison West is a nice community. The move has been okay for my loved one so far. The staff have been very friendly and kind. They seem to communicate well with the family. They could spend a little more time understanding the care needs of my loved one. The community seems to be pretty clean throughout.

The people at this community were nice and the food smelled good. I did not like that they have people from the outside come in for meetings as it makes it crowded. This community was to far away from us.

The person that conducted the tour was very nice and was able to answer all my questions. The room they showed me was ok. This was a larger community and felt like you were in a hospital setting.

Brookdale San Ramon was clean and the staff were nice during our tour. We did find out that this is more of an independent community and does not accept residents with mild cognitive impairment. The apartment we saw was quite nice.

I did enjoy my tour of this community. From what I saw everything looked nice and well maintained. The staff was kind and courteous. The location of the community was my main issue. The community is located on a main street, and that worried me. My father likes to walk around and I didn't feel he would be safe with the main road right there. It is a nice community with kind people.

My parents are doing pretty okay here at this community. We are satisfied with everything they have done for us. Brookdale is a nice community with kind people. It has been a pretty good experience for us at Brookdale.
