Brookdale

My mom was at Brookdale Arvada for 2 weeks for a respite. She enjoyed it the best she could The room was fine. The care was fine. It was a break for me and this meet the needs.

It was okay Overall it seemed like a step down in the communities. Also they did not talk about activities and seemed that they did not offer many or any. This just was not the place for mom.

This community seemed more like a nursing home than an assisted living community. I did not think the residents here would be the right fit for my mother in law's personality. There did not seem to be much social stimulation. The community was nice and it seemed clean. The staff I met were nice.

The walls were painted a dark color and that made teh community very dark. The entrance had boards and stuff that needed to be done to it. It was not presentable. I just did not care for the community at all.

very nice and friendly but I can't rate it until I've seen more.

For the most part I had a good tour of the community. It was a decent experience. The community looked pretty well-kept. The staff I met was courteous and nice. Everyone was kind and friendly to my family and I. There were many factors that played into where to move my mother to. This is a decent community, but not the one for my mother and her needs.

We feel Dad { John Lyles} does not fit this facility. He is still very much still active, computer literate and does not need the level of care this facility provides.

I toured this community for my aunt and her needs. My tour with pretty well. The community appeared to be well maintained, and pretty clean for the most part. It was a good experience. They were very kind and friendly to my family and I.

When I had to spoke to the administration at this community I did not like the fact that they offered only single room apartments. I would have wanted my parents to be able to have the same room and not be separated. I also thought it was too much like a nursing home instead of an assisted living home. Overall it was just not the right fit for my mom and dad.

My mother in law used to live in this community. The place was nice but she just was not happy. Aso, the place was very expensive and she could not afford it. Other than that, it's a pretty good community.

[Removed] was very nice and gave me good information on starting on obtaining Veteran's help. The place was a little messy as they are getting new carpet and new furniture in the next month. The lunch was alright-tilipia good, mashed potatoes a little cold, spice cake good.

We do not feel this is the correct place for dad. Too large and not a secured area so he can not wonder off. We feel he would have a more difficult time in this large of a facility.

The food at this community was not very good as a lot of the time it was cold and unappetizing. The community was clean and most of the staff were nice. The management staff do not seem involved in the community.

From the tour I saw a community that looked like a college campus. The building were separated and there would be a lot of walking around for us. It seems that it would be for one that is more independent. They had a unique meal system. For the month one would get a meal ticket with 20 meals and use it when one needs. This was not geared for us, looking for full care, meals, and cleaning.

I did not like the care that I received. I was not there long. The staff was friendly. The community is very dark inside. The staff is over worked and always in a rush. They do not seem attentive. I like a calm . I would suggest that a person looking for a community to stay over night to see if it is a good fit. There were activities for participation to be active. They do charge for extra transportation. needs. If changes are made it would be a great place.

My husband has a 24 hour caretaker because he is fall victim. I feel that when their buzzard is rung the staff are not coming to his room promptly because he has a 24 hour caretaker. A little has improved but not completely satisfied. He shares a bathroom and at times it is not the best cleaning. For the most part mt husband enjoys the meals, there are some he won't eat. He has Physical and Occupational Therapy that the staff arrange for me and they come 2-3 times a week. The residents are able to exercise, play quiz games and join in more activities.

I toured this community. It was nice and a bigger community. The staff was friendly and answered my questions. The drive would have been further then what I wanted. The cost for the care is a little higher then what I wanted. Over all this is a nice community that has great staff and is very clean for families to enjoy.

I am very disappointed in this community. They have not been watching or taking care of my loved one really at all. My family has to go in every day just to make sure that she gets the proper care. That should not be going on especially with as much as we pay them. The reason why I came here was because I was very impressed with the community and the staff. I have since seen differently. The food is okay at least better than hospital food. The fish that they served was gross and freezer burned. I have even saw residents in the hall that needed to be changed and I had to tell a aide to do so.

It is still adjusting process for my mother here at this community. I do have some concerns, but I know no place is perfect. There is room for improvement with the cleanliness of my mother's room. When you enter the community everything looks nice. The staff is nice, but I do feel they can be more attentive to my mother and her needs. Overall I will say it is still a work in progress for us at this community.

My tour of this community was a nice one. The community looked well maintained, and clean. It was a good experience, and they treated us very well. It just wasn't the place for my brother and his needs.
