Brookdale

Brookdale is a little smaller and more intimate than the other facilities we toured, which seemed to make my elderly parent more comfortable. We were impressed by the food service and we appreciated our chat with the head chef. The facility has had a little bit of leadership turnover, but we like the new Director and Healthcare leader. The new activities coordinator is enthusiastic and engaged, and she’s taken the time to talk with my parent to get to know him and try and tailor some activities for him specifically. In general, we’re pleased with the room, and the service. Currently, my parent is in the Assisted Living wing, but there is a secure memory care wing. We felt it would be less disruptive to him if he eventually has to move to that level of care.

My father is a resident. The staff went out of their way to welcome him. They check on him regularly and he wears a call button which he can use to summon staff if needed. There are many different activities. They asked my father what he enjoyed doing and made sure he was accommodated. There are several common areas for socializing. I am very pleased with the care my father is receiving.

We recently moved my father-in-law to Brookdale and couldn’t be happier. The facility is nice and comfortable and the staff have been great. Everyone has been very welcoming to him and have been super helpful during this transition. So glad we chose Brookdale!

I honestly cannot say enough positive things about Brookdale North Augusta, particularly the employees. The facility is newly updated and feels like home. The staff are the most kind and helpful people I have encountered in this space. I know my parents are being well cared for and having their needs met by wonderful people.

When we first walked in the front door I felt at home. Mom was hesitant but [name removed] got her to talk about herself. I was very impressed with the tour. Brookdale is a very nice community. Then mom learned her friend lived there and that was a plus! [name removed] was very informative & answered all of my questions! She was very helpful with the pricing of the studio we picked. We looked at other communities, but we felt the size of Brookdale’s studio was the best. [name removed] was always available by phone or text. I would highly recommend Brookdale to anyone. It’s like being on vacation or at a camp where something is going on at all times. My mom has acclimated and fit in so well thanks to the residents who have been so nice. Staff is excellent & helpful as well.

1. Nice friendly, caring environment. 2. Clean, spacious, rooms 3. Model rooms were perfect 4. [name removed] gave me a tour, worked and listened needs.

I'm delighted with Brookdale Chambrel's services for my brother. I also greatly appreciate the communication between Brookdale and myself.[name removed] has been great to work with also.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. I completely trust them to care for my father. The staff that comes to clean his room does a wonderful job. My dad doesn't participate in the activities but the tenants seem to really enjoy them. They are really good about keeping them informed on what is happening. He loves the food! For the most part it is homemade and flavorful. Their daily selections change and they have a wonder variety. My sister said she can see herself there when/if the time comes.

We are very happy with the Brookdale Union Park. The staff are kind and friendly. They have various activities and encourage residents and family to participate. The activity director is wonderful. The food is good, cleanliness is good.

We couldn't be happier with our decision to have my mom move into Brookdale. It has truly been a blessing for our entire family. Since moving in, my mom has absolutely blossomed. She is more active and engaged than she has been in years and has made so many new friends. She loves being able to take the bus and exercise. The staff and caregivers are what truly make this place special. They are highly professional but also incredibly warm, patient, and compassionate. When my mom presses her call button someone responds very promptly. The value for the cost is outstanding especially considering the quality of the care, the meals and the variety of amenities and activities offered. It provides all the comfort and security we wanted for her without the large financial burden. I would recommend Brookdale to any family looking for a caring, active and affordable independent living community for their loved one. It is a five-star experience.

They listen and try to bridge gaps. Yes, we would recommend Brookdale Tyler South to other families based on the experience so far.

Our mother recently passed and we were looking for a safe, comfortable “home” for our 92 year old father. Brookdale Lexington was not only a convenient solution, but fit the bill for comfort and care. I love when I call my father and he says,”I’m in paradise.” Brookdale Lexington has offered a caring atmosphere for our grieving father. Everyone, the pleasant staff and friendly clients, has made him feel at home. He loves the food and the relaxing dining atmosphere. He enjoys his outside strolls and rocking in the warm sunlight on the front porch. This is not an institution or facility. Brookdale is a home away from home. We are so thankful. It really gives us peace of mind.

My aunt has been supported by compassionate, responsive staff who understand her individual needs. My aunt has positive social experiences everyday and staff ensure that she is connected with others around her in meaningful ways, whether she is playing bingo, listening to music, watching movies, reading, socializing during mealtimes, or having conversations.

To sum up my experience in choosing and having my mom move into Brookdale of Troy, it's been a good experience. It is an older building, but it is clean, welcoming and feels homey. The staff although there is some turnover most are 5 to 20 year employees so it feels like family. They know and treat the residents and their families with respect. Back in October, when mom moved in, food was not good. They have since hired a new cook and are serving afternoon snacks and have a snack bar available 24/7. There is a nurse on duty at all times and there is a resident Dr. We choose to stay with our primary care Dr. They have monthly family events, weekly outings, daily planned activities and lots of shared space to just be with others.

Very friendly and caring staff. Small home like atmosphere. Rooms are big with a separation of living and sleeping areas. Very good food.

It really felt like a family. We got to know her " friends" very well and miss them as we saw them most every day. The care and compassion shown at the end was amazing. Would recommend Brookdale highly!

Caregivers seem to really care about the tenants. Overall staff much improved this past year! A+

Our friend who is really a family member needed to move from the assisted living community she was living in to one with more care. She has dementia and had broken her hip. Brookdale became her new, and for her situation, a much better community. It’s very homey, much smaller and more intimate, and the residents are a wonderful group of people with different needs, but all thriving at Brookdale, our friend included! The staff is amazing, the apartments nice, and the chef makes pretty incredible food. We feel so Blessed to have our [name removed] being so lovingly cared for. Thanks to all the staff for caring for her.

Staff was friendly, professional, & experienced to assist with all patients/residents needs. Dining was 5-star and prepared fresh daily. After looking and visiting several skilled nursing facilities, Brookdale Santa Barbara was the number one choice. Very nice & Always very clean.

My husband is receiving excellent care at Brookdale Potomac for his dementia and diabetes. The staff are extremely professional and genuinely care about the residents. They have an extraordinary range of activities, even in memory care. Including weekly outings to restaurants, parks or museums; pet therapy; musical performances; arts and crafts; exercise classes; gardening; cooking; and ongoing social activities. The rooms and common areas are very spacious. Many medical services are available onsite, including PT, primary care, and dental care. And my husband loves the food. The costs are also lower than many places. I recommend it highly.
