Brookdale

My family member is suffering from later-stage dementia, but he's fully mobile. The staff at Brookdale seems very understanding, and provide [name removed] with recreational and spiritual support. It's a small facility (20 beds), and most of the staff is long-tenured. With the couple of snapshot views we've had (we've spent a couple of hours there on each visit), the staff seems to be fully engaged, and knows each patient pretty well. I'm very comfortable with [name removed] living there, as I think they're meeting all of his needs, while allowing him to maintain his dignity.

They're nice and helpful. I would recommend them to others who are searching for care for their loved one.

My sister and I visited Brookdale because we were looking for a facility for our mother. We really like the staff. They were very kind and informative, the place was clean didn’t have an unpleasant odor at all. Brookdale has every amenity our mom would need or want. Our mom ended up living there for several months, they had activities every day, which helped her to get out of her shell because she’s not very social by nature. There were so many friendly ladies who would come and visit her and take her to activities and just visit. Brookdale set aside a timeframe in one of their rooms for the church ladies from my mom‘s church to come and visit and do Bible study. While Mom was living there, she also was able to do on-site therapy which really enhanced her ability to walk even though she uses a walker. She definitely was stronger and had more stamina. I would definitely recommend Brookdale to anyone who is looking for a safe comfortable and pleasant facility for their loved one.

I find the staff consistently kind, friendly, helpful, accommodating, and very competent.

I am a current resident that lives here and during my search for senior living, Brookdale stood out to me the most because of the people being so friendly and helpful when I toured. I have been very active since living here and absolutely love all the activities that we have going on here from the exercise program all the way down to the outings that are provided.

I have been here almost 2 years and I am a widow with no family around. I stayed home for several years and did not enjoy being alone. I love Brookdale because it gives me the opportunity to socialize with seniors of my age and gives me a purpose in life.

These responses are based on my experience. My father is the resident - he may have other opinions. However, what we like the most about the community is the friendly and warm welcoming staff.

What we like the most about the community is that their staff members are very caring and professional. Yes, we would recommend Brookdale Tanglewood Oaks to other families based on the experience.

I highly recommend this facility!!!! It's beautiful and personal more like a vacation than a memory care. The rooms are spacious with private baths. They are amazing!!!

The staff members are terrific, the accommodations are lovely & you can generally find something decent to eat. The desserts need help. The cakes & brownies are too dry & bland. They should offer more fruit.

My mom is soo happy at Brookdale. She tells people in waiting rooms at her doctors, tells people at church and her former neighbors how much she loves it there. She is almost completely blind but the staff are very kind and helpful, while allowing her to do everything she can do on her own. Mom has always been a very independent woman. She's also very social and living at home had become very solitary and lonely. Now she has joined many of the groups and activities available. She was an avid walker and at 90 was still walking 2-3 miles daily with a neighbor as her guide. The facility has an easy to remember layout and even with the severe winter we are having, she has been able to walk inside and her former neighbor comes several days to walk with her. The meals have a good variety and they are served restaurant style. Her special dietary needs are met as well. Her room is one of their medium size rooms. It's cleaned regularly and was freshly painted prior to her moving in. She has 2 closets, and brought from home 2 wardrobes, a recliner, twin bed, nightstand, a 75" flat screen TV with a stand and end table. The room has it's own heat and a/c unit which mom can adjust to her comfort. A large, wheelchair accessible bathroom. There are multiple areas thru out the facilities where you can sit with family and friends to visit. They have a community room that can be reserved for a family gathering. Assisted living is expensive, but seeing my mom be the vibrant, involved, smiling woman she was is worth every penny to me.

Brookdale is very nice and well kept. Staff always pleasant. Food was pleasant. Only had a hiccup over laundry during a time that washers and dryers not working.

Very sadly my dad's health declined and he passed away prior to moving into Brookdale. My experience with Brookdale was 100+ percent pleasant. Very very helpful and we were reimbursed fully for the funds my dad had paid towards he moving into the community.

I am beginning my 7th year here and though out the time I have greatly appreciated the warm environment ,the very good dining experience and particularly the warmth and support of the staff,who callcme by my name not apartment number.

The management was very nice and helpful in whatever need I had. They really work with you and try to help in any way they can in this very hard situation. The only reason I did not choose this facility was because I was able to get a 2 bedroom for my parents elsewhere. If this would not have been the case this would have been the facility for me.

Mary was incredibly kind and patient and took us for a really comprehensive tour of the facility. My grandparents were very impressed by the quality of the area and the housing. The heated pool was a big plus as well.

My dad has been here since [year removed]and we love the atmosphere. It is very easy communicating with the staff and they are always friendly and accommodating. The facility is clean and well managed. The activities, food, cleaning, and laundry services are all great. Maintenance is very prompt to requests or needs. If 10 stars were available, I would give them a 10. If you are looking for independent or assisted living for your loved one, I would highly recommend.

I liked the cosy atmosphere and the apparent friendliness of the staff. There seemed to be multiple ways for the residents to be engaged

This is the most amazing place. The staff was so helpful and the tour of all the available amenities was fantastic. [name removed] did a great job explaining things to us and the residents seem so happy. We have talked with many of them the past few days and they live living here. Thank you , A Place for Mom, for telling us about this place!

Facility was very clean, staff helpful and very attentive to residents. Residents were in good spirits and got along well with staff Place not able to meet our needs since we need care after a surgery rather than a living location. I would be happy to live at Brookdale in Newberg if it was for me!
