Brookdale

The director and the guy who gave us the tour seemed to be very interested, not just to sell you something but to make it very welcoming. The rooms seemed very good, it was bigger then expected, and it had all the amenities we wanted.

First and foremost the staff members were so friendly, especially the ones who helped get her moved in. And the second thing was it smelled very clean there were no fowl smells, and honestly we can say it was very cheery place. This community was very inviting with fresh flower and felt very homey.

The community was very, very nice. My loved one was there only for a couple of weeks. I would highly recommend this community. The flexibility of the staff stands out to me. As well as, they are willing to work with you under any circumstances.

I would recommend the community, I like it for my loved one. I know they will and did do virtual visits for my loved one. The staff is very friendly. I never feel put out by the staff when I call, or that the staff feel put out when due to my call.

Our family is so impressed with and grateful for all the special care being given to our mom, [name removed]. She went into Brookdale, as a result of a fall that broke her shoulder. The nurses attempted to get her a hospital bed, because she was unable to lay flat due to the fall. The insurance company denied the request. Mom was sleeping in a recliner for an extended period of time and, at one point, with a catheter. I recently received a call from [name removed] saying that she found a bed for mom, free of charge. She truly went above and beyond, and I was touched by her caring heart. Also, the nurses and caregivers provided extra special care to mom during the time she had a catheter and continue to do so. They are a blessing to each person they devote their time to. What would we do without them. Thank you.

Absolutely a great place. My 93 year old mom has been living there over 1 year and though she does have dementia she’s very happy there. The caregivers are great. The programs coordinator [name removed] and her side kick [name removed] are excellent. Even though Covid is a huge concern they find ways to keep the residence safe yet still engaged, entertained and happy. [name removed] the head house-keeper is caring, kind and up beat. I’m very impressed with the executive director [name removed], her love and care for the residence is clearly seen. Brookdale Salem truly is a wonderful home for our loved ones.

Prior to COVID it was a great place. I would recommend this community to anyone. The assisted living since COVID, it is tough on the residents due to to the lock down. The community is allowing visits in a room for 30 minutes.

We chose Brookdale Southside because of the cleanliness of the place, the staff members were friendly, and the proximity to where my family was moving. The room sizes here are great. She said the food is repetitious most week and they throw out a buffet when they are short staffed. Overall, I would recommend.

I can’t say enough about [name removed] over at Brookdale. She has done an incredible job working for my fathers best interests.

From the moment, we walked in the door, I felt that they would take good care of my husband who has Alzheimer's. He is so content there and I know the caregivers give him the support and care he needs. I do not hesitate in recommending Brookdale Beaverton for people with dementia.

My wife and I moved into Brookdale Santa Catalina four years ago (2016), and we are very glad we did so. We realized that, as we are getting older, we no longer want the responsibilities of taking care of a house and yard, and we no longer need most of the possessions that we have accumulated for years. We lived in southwest Florida at that time, so we looked into several retirement facilities there. Among these, some required a substantial initial investment in turn for a lifetime guarantee of a home. Others were in high-rise buildings which felt more like hotels to us. Since our son lives in Tucson, we decided to investigate several retirement facilities there. As soon as we visited Brookdale Santa Catalina, we knew it was our first choice! We were delighted with its location in the foothills of the Santa Catalina range overlooking Tucson below. The traffic and other noise here is minimal in comparison with facilities in the city. The scenery is incredible with the mountains rising up within a short walk from our apartment. We are located in the center of a gated community that includes million-dollar homes with beautiful desert landscaping. The neighborhood is a wonderful place for walking due to a minimum of traffic and affords great views over the Tucson valley and surrounding mountains. We were immediately impressed that all residential buildings are only two stories high and are separated by paved walkways. The main building has a large lounge where community meetings, concerts, happy hours, and other programs are held. A library is adjacent to the lounge. The upstairs dining room offers splendid views of the Santa Catalinas to the north and of the Tucson valley to the south. Our chefs do a great job of providing menus with several choices twice each day. The friendly young servers quickly learn our names and go beyond their duties to make us happy. No tipping is allowed. Staff members in the other departments are equally accommodating. Our community offers a large variety of daily activities, many of which are on campus while others involve bus trips out to restaurants, happy hours, picnics, concerts, stores, museums, doctor visits, and even to out-of-town events. A hair salon, gym, and heated swimming pool are on site. The opportunity to swim outdoors in full view of the nearby mountains was especially attractive to me! In-house movies are shown every night through the tv’s in our apartments. The apartments in Independent Living vary from two-bedroom suites with 1455 square feet to smaller two-bedroom units ranging from 1330 to 900 square feet, and there are several sizes of one-bedroom units. Rent is by the month, and one can move out with a two-month notice. All apartments have emergency pull cords and a button to “check in” each morning. The campus also includes an Assisted Living building that includes skilled nursing and memory-care facilities.

Hero’s live here! Retired nurses, teachers and veterans. We are a diverse wonderful community

We chose this community because they seemed like they would be more helpful than the previous facility she was at. The room sizes are nice, she is in a single room. She says the food is good and I have eaten here and I enjoyed it a well. They have a variety each day on the menu. My favorite part about the community would be how caring the staff members are. The main nurse [name removed] stays on top of the care people are supposed to receive. I would recommend Brookdale Liverpool.

We chose Brookdale Clinton because it was recommended to us and we called and they have availability immediately. The gal that came out and helped was outstanding. She got things done quickly and as they needed to be. The room sizes were excellent, my husband had a private room. You cannot find better food anywhere, it was wonderful. The chef really cared about pleasing the residents. They made it as homey as humanly possible. I would absolutely recommend this community.

Brookdale Farmington Hills North is a wonderful place for my mom. The staff is very friendly and caring. The activities helped my mom thrive. The entertainment and parties were so much fun until Covid came. Hopefully it will be back to normal. The staff still manages to keep spirits uplifted with the residents .My family highly recommends this facility for your loved ones.

I would tell my friends to check it out. I wouldn't say anything bad, I would rather tell them to go around to a different nursing homes to choose for themselves. I believe it had to do with the ladies I spoke with at the community. I felt comfortable about the way they told me about the community.

They have exercises for the residences, book clubs, they even have a cocktail hour. On special occasions they will give the residences small gifts. They do have a swimming pool but it isn't open at the moment. The food right now is being delivered to our rooms due to COVID, but under the circumstances it is okay. The rooms are pretty spacious, we have a two bedroom. This community has a variety of rooms to choose from.

I would say go for it. They have been really good for us. Anytime we have called they are willing to answer our questions. I'm unsure of any activities they offer. We have a small, single room. It depends how much you want to pay. My loved one was in a larger room, and we had to downsize because of the price increase.

My mom is in memory care. It is a great place. As for the food they need more fruits and vegetables and fewer fats. They need more help to manage the residents. The room size is adequate. The halls are long. It takes a great effort to get through o the staff. We are glad that my mom is there it is nice that she can have her own belonging there in her room. We love the activities director. We like the special care that the caregivers give to the residents.

In late March, as COVID-19 was ramping up, I was faced with choosing an ALF for my 90 year old father. With wonderful assistance from A Place for Mom, was able to find Brookdale Wekiwa Springs. I was not able to tour in person, but [name removed], the administrator, took me on a FaceTime tour and answered all my questions. The transition has not been easy because of no visiting due to the virus, but because the staff are so helpful and caring, it has been much easier. Even though I cannot see him, I know that he is being well cared for and the staff treat him with kindness and dignity. They are helpful and supportive and I am happy with my choice of facilities and would highly recommend it!
