Brookdale

When you walk in the door, everyone is so friendly and you definitely get the warm feeling of home. Staff is AMAZING! This is why I picked Brookdale Cape May for my dad. He has been there over a year now, I still get the feeling when I walk thru the door! AMAZING living for seniors!

Brookdale is a nurturing and secure environment that prioritizes the comfort and happiness of your loved one. You can have peace of mind knowing they will be well cared for at Brookdale. The management is compassionate and attentive, always focused on the best interests of the residents.

Administrative staff were very friendly with excellent communication to both residents and family. Nursing staff were knowledgeable and responsive to questions and concerns. Aides were attentive and kind. Dad felt that they truly cared about him. They made time to talk with him and develop true relationships. They gave him the opportunity to participate in his care as much as he was physically able rather than rushing through and "throwing him around" as he'd experienced in other facilities. Staff were responsive to requests to clean up Dad's room more often as he become less able to clean up after himself. The activities staff found ways to include even the residents that were limited in what they could participate in physically or mentally. The building had multiple areas for various activities and common areas for residents to hang out and visit with others. The dining room combined elegant and cozy and had the feel of a real restaurant. The building is in a convenient central location in Ann Arbor relatively close to the highway. The parking was often tight and required using the staff parking lot behind the building.

With no family nearby and urgency to move from Independent Living, we were so fortunate to be able to move my sister into Brookdale Tallgrass. First, we learned of their exceptional reputation, and it quickly became apparent it was well earned. We, her scattered family, have been so grateful for how much better she's doing there, with the exceptionally attentive and caring staff.

We moved Mom to Brookdale after Dad passed. The transition for her was difficult, but the staff helped every step of the way. When Mom's health began to fail, the staff were equally helpful, compassionate and caring Moving Mom to Brookdale was far and away the best decision I made in her waning months!

The staff genuinely care about the residents! Definitely, I would recommend Brookdale to others. The medical staff are knowledgeable and on top of any medical changes in their residents. The PT department is excellent and really seem to care. The rest of the staff are even attentive to family who visit and have concerns.

Beautiful accommodations, many things to do here. The highlight of Brookdale is the staff; kind and helpful. I always tell people who are considering a place for a family member who needs more care, this is the place to be. My advice is to be involved with the programs offered here, make new friends and don't isolate yourself. Life is still beautiful.

My mother-in-law chooses not to go to the dinning hall to eat. The staff have all been great in trying to get her to participate in activities but my mother-in-law is very anti-social and likes to be by herself. She has always been this way through out the years. We have no complaints about anything! I would most definitely recommend Brookdale to others who are searching for a place for their loved one.

Delicious Dinner

So thankful for a staff that cares so well for my mom. Allows us to rest well knowing she is cared for. Always keeping them busy with activities and outings.

At Brookdale Tallgrass, I know my dad is not just a client, he’s family. The staff truly loves him. After the loss of his wife and coinciding health decline, my dad was nervous and apprehensive about his transition to assisted living. Now, over 2 years later, he speaks about his friends, the fun activities and his favorite staff with joy. Not a social guy, he has become quite social and the life of the party. I often hear from staff how much they love and enjoy my dad. He enjoys the parties, special events out and about Wichita, and days hanging out by the grill. Brookdale Tallgrass is a small, tight-knit family community. It’s family, it’s home. It’s a blessing to know my dad is safe, loved and his life matters. Brookdale Tallgrass for the win!

Communication could be improved with the administration. But overall great experience. Great activities to get my dad involved with the other residents and to get him out of his apartment.

Staff is great. There could be more activities especially for those in early stages of dementia. Food is ok. My husband eats everything that is offered. [name removed] head of memory wing is excellent. I like the small place. I feel my husband is safe not like [community removed]. No place is perfect but I would definitely recommend Brookdale for memory care.

Staff was very friendly, felt like they really cared for residents. My sister was the one staying at Brookdale. Her first two weeks was a little hard for her to adjust to, but Levi was thoughtful enough to deliver her meals that first week until she could get used to the routine. I would highly recommend Brookdale East.

it's an excellent facility, very well managed and maintained. Great staff and my mom is very happy there. And she was not al all willing to make the move. She is really happy there and had a terrific impression of senior living facilities, largely because she was the attending physician and medical director of several nursing homes in the Western New York area, for about 15 years before she retired from medicine

Brookdale gas provided great care. So my dad for over 3 years. Safe and caring with cheerful staff.

Nice, clean, friendly. I would recommend to others.

Brookdale Oak Park is proving to be beyond my expectations. The residents are friendly, educated, stimulating and fun. The staff, from top down, is competent and caring, and goes beyond in serving everyone. The tasteful elegance of the whole building, including its apartments and grounds, don’t feel too fancy or snooty, but feel down to earth and “homey.” Its “location, location, location” in downtown Oak Park (walking distance to groceries, restaurants, gardens, banks, theater, library, shops) equals being close to beauty and practicality every day. The food is good, and I have some strong food allergies, for which the director and chef are bending over backwards to serve my needs. The many activities and outings cater to diverse needs. I’m so grateful my daughter found this gem of a place for me.

[name removed] was very helpful and understanding with our dear friend situation. I would highly recommend her. This facility is a single story which I really like. The residents I have met and talked to seam to like this place.

Community is clean and the residents look well cared for. Always check for resident engagement and odors; residents were cooking 7 dessert and community smells pleasant. Staff have a smile that was genuine, giving family feel. Nice community.
