Brookdale

We picked this community because of proximity to where I live & friendliness of staff. I would recommend to others.

Great community. Lacking on going communication, with family when loved one has dementia and they can't relay information to you.

The size was small and the staff all seemed to know all the residents and were super friendly.Brookdale is very welcoming and accommodating.[name removed] was especially nice and easy to work with. He even came to my house to meet [name removed] prior to being admitted to the assisted living. [name removed] and a nurse came to my house to do it in home evaluation instead of me bringing her over there. I would recommend to others.

We picked this community because; Impressed by services/staff, Reasonable pricing, Close to home, and it had a Homelike atmosphere.

I picked this community, beecause my mom will be able to stay there if her needs change.It is a nice place. I would recommend to others.

My friend needed immediate placement and they could take her right away, even with certain behaviors other places would not. I would recommend to others.

The best thing about this place is the staffers. They're friendly and quick to help. I never get the impression someone feels burdened or imposed on when I ask them to do something. There are myriad activities—games, live music, interesting talks on lots of subjects, outings to fun places, holiday celebrations, religious services and things residents cook up for themselves. I heard someone say, "This is like a cruise ship on land." Management communicates well with people, and the top manager is available and attentive. Perhaps the best recommendation I can make is this: After visiting me and hearing me talk about my life here for a while, my sister-in-law moved here herself.

I highly recommend Brookdale Deer Creek Sarasota. It was so nice to visit my grandma there after she was settled in. She's made a lot of friends and has all good things to say about the staff and her new home.

My father is doing so much better than living at home! There are lots of people to entertain him and he loves to sit in the atrium and work on puzzles. He loves being around all the other residents and is really enjoying it so much!

This is a pretty community that feels like a chalet in the heart of Sarasota close to downtown and lots of restaurants which is a Perfect sjirt. The backyard courtyard area is inviting with tall, oak trees, and a garden area with water flowers. The inside is beautifully decorated and feels Homey.

Beautiful place. Our neighbor is so happy. I guess we we hoping she would be content. What we were not expecting was how happy she truly is now. It is a miracle. The staff seem very involved and kind. Our friend is enjoying her time at Brookdale Niagara AL. Honestly we are so relieved. Thank you to APFM for recommending this darling place.

From the beginning, Gaines Ranch a d the staff made us and particularly our mother feel very welcome. It is a great environment for the residents where they are looked after and cared for, even as independents. The staff is excellent, and in particular [name removed] who helped us with every detail. Although our Mom was there for just four months before she passed. She adjusted well in her new home and made friends quickly. We would wholeheartedly recommend Gaines Ranch as an excellently managed and maintained facility.

The ratio of residents and caretakers stood out to me. Yes, I have recommended to a couple people I know already.

Very attentive to our needs, above and beyond with communication and understanding. We picked this community because of the employees, they made us feel confident [name removed] would be well taken care of.It was a great choice!

The grounds are beautiful and well kept (they should be w contribution of [removed] required). Openness and friendliness of staff. Shawn head of maintenance is amazing. [name removed] the director is kind highly effective. Business manager Lilian so helpful and efficient. Clean clean clean so important all the time.

From my first contact with Brookdale DeLand, I was met with compassion and over the top support. The team went out of their way to assist in a smooth transition for my mother from CT to FL. They acted as an extra set of hands in contacting 3rd party services which made our move possible. They even met us at 10:30 pm to welcome us. For the last two months we have been met with that same compassion, care and patience we received in the transition process.

We went to 9 places b 4 making a decision to pick Brookdale. With the 4 of us that went to most of the other facilities we all agreed this was the best fit. Arlene did a great job answering our questions and concerns

It's very welcoming. The staff are very friendly and attentive. The facilities are clean, quiet and well designed for senior living. The activities and services are consistent and stimulating for this age group. We feel very good about our decision to go there.

I walked into Gaines Ranch for the first time and immediately noticed all the residents in the lobby - smiling, laughing, conversing and I smiled. The Marketing person I met first was open, friendly, and never made me feel overwhelmed with a strong "sales pitch." I immediately felt at home and I never even visited another community. I have now lived here one year and I have never regretted my decision to make Gaines Ranch my home one minute. The staff is so warm and goes out of their way to make my life happy and useful. The activities are everything I hoped for. I have the fun I expected and ways to continue to contribute that I thought I would probably never enjoy again. The friendships I've made are precious. Am I happy here? Absolutely.

This place is the best place around New Port Rickey.
