Gemstone Senior Living

The property and staff were very nice and enjoyed the good food.

Clean and friendly staff, but feel there aren't enough caretakers / supervision for the residents. Liked the rooms.

I think it's small, it's clean, well carpteded and overall it makes a very good presentation.

Although this is an older property, they are trying to remodel some. The people we spoke with were very kind and seemed to know everyone there by name. Our first tour was with Nina, who was enthusiastic, but couldn't answer much. Dean, our follow up tour guide, was the Exec Director and very helpful and personable.

Must furnish own transportation to doctors' appointments. Also have a huge processing fee to move in.

I liked this facility. They seemed to have a lot of activities with people participating. Their indoor courtyard was beautiful with a lot of birds and squirrels.

wonderful staff. nice amenities. studio apartment small but private and adequate. mom liked windows. favorite of the day.

It appears to offer more services than I am interested in at this time.

Very impressed. Staff had lots of knowledge, very professional. Just not sure if they will have the right level of care if my loved one's health declines.

We like this one very much.

Nice, clean, #1 choice

Have 3 years exp. with HH. Mother-in-law was resident, had some problems, but all in all, wonderful staff and really nice accommodations. She was in assisted living, then moved to their special care for Alzheimers/Dementia residents. Good community of residents, always fun, friendly, seemed very happy.

Good location but is a 3 story building, with independent living on 3rd floor and assisted living on 1st and 2nd floors all inclusive; 3 meals; no stove; no washer dryer

This was a really sweet community. Loved the staff and residents. A little small? The rooms were just too cramped. Could be a fit because it felt homey. Will somehow accommodate bridge group.

Before this incident, my ratings would have been higher. I finally got to go in and see my husband yesterday and he had not had a shower in 3 weeks and had not been shaved. When I talked to Brookdale about it they said they were not aware that no one was coming to give him showers from hospice. I am not pleased and am upset by that. I do appreciate the fact that they gave out covid shots to residents and they had extra and they reached out to families to see if they wanted them.

First time I entered Brookdale Creekside, I felt strangely at home. Lots of light and space, and the staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. Food was well above average compared to others I had experienced. Most important for me was that the staff seem to genuinely appreciate my Mother, who is in late stages of dementia and can be a handful sometimes. Music is so important to her, and Brookside provides that and other nourishing treats for her soul. Thank you, Brookside, and keep up your much appreciated work.

I ended up picking this facility for my Mother because it was closer to where I live. It’s a small community and sometimes it feels like it’s a little too small. My mom’s room is nice and spacious and her window overlooks an enclosed patio. It’s decorated very nicely and there’s a lot of greenery. However, she is not happy with the food. My mom could order something off of the menu and she will receive something at random. It’s like the staff gives her whatever they want to feed her. I’ve addressed this with the management and it will change for a few days but then go back to how it was before. I would recommend this facility to other families.
