Holbrook Life

We were impressed during our tour here. The lobby is gorgeous, gym and pool lovely, apartment nice size, and services offered seemed excellent. We were fooled by all this. Immediately after move-in we learned how poorly managed this place is. Their assisted living team does not offer much assistance, including when you push the help button. They will charge you for ADLs but only provide assistance once or twice a week when they feel like it. Most terrifying is the people handing out medication aren’t knowledgeable about what they are administering leading to a near fatal medication error. The General Manager was not apologetic or even concerned as we were to learn of the medication error. They just fired the individual, but ignored the systemic issue. The dining room staff do not pay attention to dietary restrictions (low carb, low salt, etc). We raised our concerns several times with Holbrook upper management to no avail. They only care about $, not their residents.

This is THE MOST BEAUTIFUL facility. Everything aesthetically is 10/10. However, they have been severely understaffed for months and their push to hire new help is resulting in only warm bodies who do not care about the residents. This includes Med Techs: (my loved one was not given PM & AM meds & their BP was thru the roof).Patient Care Techs:(bored, rude & they do not seem qualified or interested in the residents). Waitstaff: the dining room is understaffed and the food is UNACCEPTABLE. Not even appetizing. One elevator seems to be broken a lot which is inconvenient as that leaves only one in operation for meal times. No transportation to get residents groceries/essentials or to doctors appointments.. some residents rent a car for 24 hrs bc it’s cheaper than ubering. I have met w the managers who assured me ‘they meet the states standards’. We pay a PREMIUM and i did expect better service all the way around. I’m disappointed to say we are researching other facilities.
