Brookdale

Liked the facility and rooms. Not sure if assisted living or memory is best place for my father; not sure assisted living layout would work, but memory care feels to far the other way for where he is at.

My parents were only at Wynwood of Columbia Edgewater for 13 days as my mother ended up falling and hitting her head and needing 24 hour care that they were able to provide. While they were there, the room they had was not too nice and had a smell too it. They also complained a lot about the food. The people there are extremely nice and friendly though, and overall it is a nice facility.

The food I had was pretty good. I just went in and looked at it and would not move in for a million dollars. They need to improve their cleanliness. They have a lot of rooms, but only about four them had bathtubs with a shower chair. I have to have a shower chair and they did not have any.

Brookdale Muirfield seems like a nice enough place overall, but unfortunately they just do not seem equipped to handle my loved one's memory care needs. It's a nice looking facility, and the staff seem friendly, but it just hasn't been a good fit for us.

Everything was very pleasant and Mrs. Snow was very professional and informative but the space was so confined and too small. My dad enjoys outdoors and "space" so I don't they would be comfortable at Brookdale Newnan. I don't want to discourage anyone else seeking senior living but my parents are very independent with the exception of my dad's disability with his legs. It is a very nice and friendly place just not for them.

We've had somewhat of a mixed experience so far with Brookdale Medi Park West. It is a nice looking, clean facility, and the staff all seem very friendly. However, it doesn't quite have the level of care we were hoping for. We had a talk with them, and they've been very accommodating in regards to trying to get my loved ones level of care where we would like it.

The size of their apts. (sq. ft.) compared to cost was a little high. Again, no doors.

One complaint that I have about Emeritus at Tucson (which is actually now Brookdale) is that they do not follow through very good on their communication. For example, one time we would go to visit my mother and notice a bruise. It turned out that she had a fall. Well, that is something we would like to have communicated to us. We want to know that she is doing well and stay informed on how things are going. That is one area where they could definitely improve. Beyond that the place is pretty decent.

The staff is great. The food is pretty awful and I have eaten there with my Dad on many occasions. Exterior of building needs help. Gutters falling off and screens need repair. We have been asking for repair for 6 months .Also hose leaks outside Dad's apartment and completely froze his porch with 4-5 inches of ice. Cute apartment but in disrepair.

My experience with Brookdale West Boynton Beach has been somewhat of a mixed one. I feel they generally do an above average job in terms of things like the cleanliness of the facility and the friendliness of the staff, but I am finding that I need to be involved and advocate for my loved one more than I think should be necessary. She has received good care here, and has improved, but a lot of that is due to me staying on top of them to make sure she is getting the care they advertised.

It's expensive. I don't feel like i'm getting my money's worth. My main concern is the cleanliness of my loved ones room. His bathroom in particular needs improvement. His toilet overflows. Other than that he has been getting good service. They come right away to clean him up. Everyone there is very friendly. I can't rate the activities because my loved one doesn't participate in them. It is not applicable.

I kind of feel like it was a little discombobulated. I was never given a handbook. When my father first moved in the screens in his room were broken. I had no idea who to call about that. You have to ask multiple times before they follow up. It just seems like things are confused. My father was never really given a tour on where things are. He just fell the other day. He asked the nurse if she would rebandage his arm. I had to do it myself and I did a better job at it. Other than that, he loves the food. Overall, its fine. Maybe now it will be better since I have the handbook.

I ended up not selected Emeritus at Bellevue Manor for my parents but went with another facility. Of the three places I visited, this is the place I liked the least. The main reason was because the rooms were small and it had more of a nursing home type feel to it. I moved them into a different location that had apartments and was a much more homey place. The people there were nice and it seemed good overall, but not as good as some other options out there.

It's no longer called Sterling House. It's called Brookdale. I think they could improve on their clinical service. I would also say they need better training in their staff. The friendliness, value, and activities are excellent. Everyone is very friendly. They are nice people. The value is great because the price is reasonable for what you receive. They offer a lot of activities to the residents.

Although the assisted living section of the facility seemed nice enough, I found the memory care unit dark (poorly lit) and depressing. All the residents were sitting out in a crowded lobby area without any specific activities going on for them. I could not leave my mother there.

We toured this community while looking into memory care options for a loved one. Clare Bridge of Virginia Beach did not rank very highly on my list. It seemed like a nice enough place, but I saw other options in the area that I liked much more in terms of both the facility and the care provided.

It's important to identify the nursing package before making a decision. That was not the case with my mom. We anticipated that she would be able to self medicate and that her nursing cost would be minimal. The test that they applied to her ability to self medicate was somewhat unreasonable and ultimately we experienced an almost $400 a month increase in her care cost. The food is mediocre. Laundry has been lost. The new manager seems committed to resolving our issues.

Wynwood of Rogue Valley is a very good facility. I can't say it's the best in the area for the money, but it is very nice and the people there are very kind.

It was not bad. I would use them again if needed. However i'm going to check out other places. I didn't feel comfortable when the staff was passing out medications. They didn't read them correctly. They also didn't bother to fix the TV in my loved one's room. She was there for 2 weeks without a TV. Everybody else was very friendly. It was an okay experience.

Our experience with Brookdale Ormond Beach West has been somewhat mixed. It is a nice enough looking place, and the staff here do the best they can, but I just feel that they are understaffed. Our loved one can be somewhat of a handful, and it would be nice if he could get more attention. I've also noticed that sometimes they haven't been able to get the dining room fully set up when it gets to be lunch or dinner time.
