Brookdale

The thing we worried about the most, was whether dad would be happy in an assisted living environment. To our great joy, dad is very happy! In fact, he says he's much happier than he thought he'd be. He loves the food (which is awesome), and he made new friends quickly. He's much more active than he was living alone in his huge house. The staff are fantastic, both medical and the "service" staff. They're very good about keeping me up to date on dad, and take excellent care of his needs. The facility is a VERY professional looking, and is especially easy for family members to visit, dine, and participate as they wish. We couldn't be happier with the choice we made, after visiting several facilities in the local area.

Brookdale North Scottsdale has been a beautiful, delightful, active community for my father for 21/2 years. My father has felt loved, appreciated, respected and safe during this time. We all enjoy the daily, weekly and monthly activities. The staff is fun, positive, attentive, and helpful. The Director, [names removed] have always been approachable and listened to our questions or concerns. We highly recommend this home for your loved ones.

Incredible care of my mom. She is happy and loves to go out on the outings which she couldnt do at home. Staff is always friendly. Nurses are great. My mom finally feels she can live her best life with support.

It’s difficult choosing a community for your parents, at least we had a hard time finding one for our mom, but once we began interacting with the staff here, we knew our search was over. They are caring, considerate and genuine individuals that truly seem to have a passion for what they do. The sales manager and director of nursing work in tandem to make sure all questions are answered and as mom got comfortable, continued a great open line of communication answering all of my questions-and there were many as I live out of state. The “community” as they call is small but mighty, which makes this the perfect fit. We couldn’t be happier with the care mom receives everyday and the friendly hellos as the staff walk through the halls and dining room.

My Ninety-four year old Mom has been a resident at Brookdale Murrieta for about two years and she has been very well taken care of. Good food is served at every meal, with room service when residents are not able to make it to the dining room. There's always an abundance of activities from the ever popular Bingo, to arts and crafts, technical learning on computers and phones, movies every evening, off campus trips to shop, musical entertainment, holiday meals, health and exercise classes, and many more. If you ask any of the residents they'll tell you they'd rather be young and independent, but I know from experience with my now deceased Father's assisted care experiences that Brookdale is a great place for adults in need of their services, and also a good value.

The staff are very helpful, kind and considerate. My Mom enjoys the variety of activities.

My father has been a resident at Brookdale Smithfield since March. Our experience with Brookdale has been a very pleasant one. The facility is very clean. The food is good and the staff is very caring and helpful. My only suggestion is that they could plan more outside activities like light gardening...something that could help the residents feel like they're accomplishing something.

I had a visit with [name removed]. I am looking for placement for my grandmother who lives in the VA area. This place was very nice and clean. The staff was very nice and lots of activities. I did move her in and she loves its there! I would recommend this place!

I placed my wife, who was approaching a more advanced stage of dementia in Brookdale Middleton-Stonefield over one year ago. Proximity to our home was a major point in its favor. I now realize that I made a very fortunate choice. The atmosphere is very home-like, the staff caring, and the activities available for the residents stimulating. This is not an easy decision but I am so comfortable knowing that my loved one is there.

My Dad is very pleased with his new home. The staff works with Dad's Alzheimer's gently and with respect. Brookdale has been good for all of us.

The staff is friendly and helpful. There have been many changes for the better in the building. My loved one enjoys her time with her friends and the nurses she says are great. The Executive Director, Wellness Director and Sales were amazing at move in and were so helpful getting everything organized and ready for move in. Maintenance is "johnny on the spot" to fix any issue big or small. I was impressed with the way my questions were answered timely and the way they accommodated me. I Would highly recommend them as they REALLY care about you!!

Brookdale Wekiwa Springs offers that quaint family feel. From the moment we walked in we were greeted by the front desk with a big welcome and a smile. Throughout our visit, we were greeted by many of the employees, easily identifiable with name badges and a few residents also wearing name badges-we found out they have a great group of residents that are Ambassadors of the community-enough said for me! If your residents are willing to tell complete strangers how great your place is, I’m sold! There was a chef from the kitchen sitting and putting together a puzzle with a few residents in the common space, and another staff member sharing a cup of coffee and conversations with a small group of residents at another table. Everyone seemed very happy and we had the feeling we walked into someone’s home. Schedules were posted throughout the building which seemed to provide great reminders for residents, but there didn’t seem to be a lot of variety offered. The building is older, but well maintained. They have a great courtyard space (although it could use some TLC) with a great sitting area by the lake. We’re certain our Mom will enjoy afternoons reading a book in the serene setting.

Brookdale is a very nice community. My mother has dementia and needs assistance with many things. I knew Brookdale was the right place when I toured and saw the caregivers interacting with the residents. That has been confirmed many times over as my mother has been there 3 months now. The nurses and caregivers offer excellent care. The residents are treated with respect and dignity. I visit up to 5 times a week and have never observed anything but the utmost professional care and honest concern for the well-being of the residents. The facility is always clean and the rooms are cleaned daily. The activities director is upbeat an energetic and just brings joy to everything she does. The nurses and caregivers spot any abnormalities (such as a urinary tract infection) and alert her doctor and me. It is a gated community and staff is on the ball - so I know it is safe and secure. The food is good and nutritious. My mother had dark circles around her eyes from her own poor nutrition at home and that has been cleared up completely. The staff communicates any needs or concerns with me without hesitation - which I appreciate. You will not be disappointed with Brookdale. The only complaint I have had has been that the cable in her room was not working properly, and it took quite a while for it to get resolved, but it is resolved now. Maintenance even mounted her TV on the wall for us.

We were given 3 excellent options from your service, and we researched and visited them all before deciding on Brookdale at Monroe. You gave us help when we were at a loss, and we are very happy with the results.

Thank you for recommending Brookdale. It is a great place and the staff are great. I highly recommend this place. I want to say thank you to A place for Moms. I wish I could remember the lady who called me and set up the appointments for visits. She was the best. Keep up the great work. [Name removed]

Very personable, helpful staff. Environment was clean not hospital like. Enjoyable visit with my dear friend who is a resident there. She seemed happy and content.

I was helping my parents in their search for a community and we visited several they were new and pretty but the staff was not very friendly and the did not have a home like feel. From the moment we walked into Brookdale Canopy Oaks we were greeted with a smile from staff and residents. Everyone we met were very friendly and it is a very beautiful community. The care is exceptional and my parents are very happy.

Canopy Oaks is a beautiful clean community with very sweet caring staff who make you feel welcomed and like family. My mom is very happy here. We visited a lot of communities in the area that were new and bigger but the staff was not very friendly to us or with the other residents like Canopy Oaks was.

I would like to express my gratitude to [name removed], the director. She is always available for me to talk with and comes over often to the Memory Care building to give hugs to each resident and see how they are doing in person. She is extraordinary. The chefs are fabulous. The food is so delicious and presented well. The soups should win some kind of award. Every meal is so good; I know because I sometimes eat with my husband so I speak from actual experience. I appreciate how they go the extra mile to give everyone something they will like. The housekeeping does a great job in keeping my husband's room clean and will come if an accident occurs and cleans it right away. I like the way the staff go out of their way to call the residents by their name right away and then connect with them as their stay continues. I feel very comfortable having my loved one there.

My mother was 98 when she arrived at Brookdale, declined quickly, and only lasted a couple of months. We were very grateful for the extra concern, care, and attention they paid her. Thank you, Brookdale.
