Brookdale

We toured with Brookdale Lakeway and it was very expensive. When we were walking around we noticed that a lot of the residents were just slumped over in their wheelchairs - it was depressing and it just seemed like they needed a lot more care than my loved one. It was just not the right fit for us.

Our family had an in person tour and the tour experience was just fine but the community itself, the rooms we saw and the view the rooms had was just not our cup of tea

Our family had an in person tour and it was a nice tour but to us it just seemed a little to smaller and a little dingy

Good community, too far for family to visit.

We had a great tour experience with Brookdale Montclair Poulsbo. The facility was very nice but it was older and not as updated as some of the others that we were looking at.

All of the staff members seem to be pretty nice and all have a pretty good attitude. From what activities our loved one does participate in we do think they do a good job there and overall we would recommend this community to others based on our experience. We know they are struggling with outside circumstances like everyone else but we do think they could work to improve the overall quality of the meals - that is important to the residents and it will help to keep their morale up.

I think that they do a really good job at trying to plan activities both in the facility and to get the residents out to restaurants and other places. My loved one is in assisted living but they also engage the memory care residents as well. They do a great job providing a variety of those outings and activities. They could add more fresh fruits and vegetables on the menu and maybe have a little lighter diet - but I think they are trying to improve it. Overall I would definitely recommend Brookdale Sarasota Midtown to other families.

I toured Brookdale Overland Park and I noticed that the hallways were narrow. My dad uses an electric chair, so it would've been more difficult for him to move around. The apartments were nice with an outside living space. We chose another community because Brookdale was not a good fit; he needed more help than what they could provide.

We had a really nice tour experience with Brookdale Overland Park. I did find this facility to be very expensive comparatively. There was no bridge from independent living to assisted living, it was just one or the other. In that case we would either be paying for services that she would not be using, or there would not be enough care.

Brookdale is a great place, as long as you stay involved. If you don't stay involved I would say that the care is still good, but little things may pop up that can make you a bit concerned. They don't communicate unless you ask them to, and when they do it's not consistent and is oftentimes spotty. I'll get calls regarding a crisis situation and then nothing else for the next 48 hours. I had to go down there once to speak to the overall director due to their of lack of communication. If you decide to move your parent(s) in a community, stay involved in their care. No one will take care of your loved one like you will. You'll expect a certain level of care that you may not receive unless you insist on it. Don't fall victim to putting your loved one in a place thinking it will be perfect, because it wont be. As much as I love Brookdale, they have 300+ residents, so it's kind of impossible to think that your individual loved one will receive that specialized 1 on 1 care. Again, it's a good place; it's very clean, has a very nice staff, the food is great, and they have a lot of great nurses and caregivers. Just make sure you stay involved, because you won't be satisfied otherwise.

We had a very nice tour experience with Brookdale Midlothian and almost went with this facility. There was some miscommunication with the pricing and we had gotten a price without the care added in there. Once it was added it was very expensive. They were also rating my loved one as needing a higher level of care than all of the other places that we were looking into which I found odd.

All of the high ratings above speak for themselves.

We had a really nice tour experience with Brookdale Skeet Club. The staff and people that we interacted with were all super friendly. The reason we did not choose this Brookdale location was because it was a little higher price wise and the location was not as convenient for our family.

We chose Brookdale High Point because of the value for the money and we just really liked the facility itself and the people that we interacted with during our tour with them. The location is extremely convenient for our family so that has worked out well. I would definitely recommend Brookdale to others looking.

The food is excellent. The billing has been a disaster though and the maintenance is not timely either. The staff have been pretty good with communication with the families.

My Mom is turning 103, and has been in Brookdale for several years and we LOVE IT! You must know this about me (the only living child)...I'm VERY protective of my Mom! The Employees at Brookdale, Conway are Family! They treat my Mom with Respect, love, compassion, and stay in touch with me if there's a concern considering her! I wouldn't have her living anywhere else!
