Before making the tough decision to move my 89 yr old father here from out of state due to his advancing dementia, I visited many facilities in the area, and asked a lot of questions. I wanted to find a place where Dad would feel comfortable and at home, and where he would be safe and well cared for 24/7. Facilities that were not dedicated to memory care dropped off my list quickly, as did those that did not have an RN on site 24/7. I asked for references and called them - and appreciate the honesty of those I spoke with. Dad has been here for ten months now and I am thankful that we brought him here when we did, and most importantly that we chose Saddlebrook, for so many reasons. First and foremost are the people and the caring, friendly, "homey" community atmosphere they foster every day. Everyone on staff understands how to positively interact with those affected with memory loss and dementia, and I've learned so much from observing and talking with them. I also appreciate their willingness to "go the extra mile" and work with families and residents when the going gets rough, and let's face it - there are lots of rough days with dementia! Staff is trained to work with the many behavioral, communication and mood issues as well as the physical issues prevalent with dementia and the elderly. I've always been able to approach staff with questions or requests, and they have been excellent in keeping me informed as well. Dad is always clean and nicely dressed and groomed, and I was happily surprised to learn that he doesn't have to leave to get his haircut or go to the dentist or for regular doctor visits - they come to Saddlebrook regularly. On a larger scale, Dad had to go to the hospital for surgery and then to rehab this summer and it was very difficult for him in those places (esp. rehab) that were not focused and trained for patients with dementia. He was miserable and I was at my wits end after 2 weeks of rehab so I approached the management team at Saddlebrook and asked for their assistance to enable me to bring Dad back home to Saddlebrook as early as possible. They were wonderfully supportive and helpful and as soon as Dad was back at Saddlebrook his mood improved dramatically. He is back to participating in their outings and activities and is doing well now. I drop in to visit at various times as my erratic work schedule permits, and I always find the common areas as well as Dad's room to be clean and tidy. There is no "institutional" smell or feel to the place. The living room areas are beautifully decorated and filled with comfortable recliners. I was worried about whether Dad would like the food and I no longer have any concerns. He looks forward to his meals and enjoys them. I highly recommend Saddlebrook, and I appreciate the compassionate care they provide every day.

The staff are very professional and hands on with each resident. They offer daily activities as well as outings. The food is good and they have a good variety. The community is beautiful inside and out. The price is good for what you get. When you compare this community to other communities this one is the best in every way. I would recommend this community.

I am glad to see that my friend is doing good here. She does like the activities and loves to hear the music that they offer. the community is always very clean and taken care of. She seems to like the food and the variety of the meals. She does enjoy playing cards. I would recommend thecommunity highly for over all great care for a loved one.

I felt like I was in the right place for my mom when I entered the buliding. You know you just have that "feeling" that everything will be alright if I leave my mom here. It's a hard decision to leave your mom in the care of someone else isn't it? The apartments are just big enough. Certainly not the 2500 sq. ft home that mom is used to but then she can't take care of that much space anyway. Three meals a day plus snacks and ice cream everywhere. That is more than the piece of toast and tea mom made for herself and swore that she was just stuffed! Plus activities to keep her busy each day instead of watching Dr. [Removed] and Judge [Removed]! A nurse in the building 24/7. That's a plus isn't it? I think that you won't be disappointed.

Very nice community. However, it has a weird floor plan in the apartments. The people were nice and helpful and they gave us a nice tour. I was really impressed with the dining area. It was very nice. It was just to far.

We're all so pleased with Earl R's new home at Brookdale Gig Harbor!We talk to him daily and every time he has praise for some aspect of his new environment.Usually it's about the food,and I must agree from my experience,the quality of the food and the flexibility of your dining hours can't be beat.The wait staff is always so friendly and helpful,offering suggestions on what to order.He got a haircut yesterday and "it was so much better than at his previous residence".He always has something positive to say and for that we so thankful we found Brookdale Gig Harbor.Our thanks to the entire staff and a happy Thanksgiving.

The Brookdale Gig Harbor team is the Best !

I am very happy to see that my mom is getting excellent care here. This community has wonderful staff who is very nice. She is enjoying the food and the variety of the meals. The activities are great for her and she is participating. The community is clean and always maintained. I would recommend this care and value to other families.

Legacy has a more active approach to their residents than other places we visited. They stress activities to train the mind, have fun, bring the residents out of their rooms, have community with other residents, and partake of city life once a week through outings to shopping or cultural events. Other facilities praised their ability to bring all this In to the residents, but we liked that Legacy wants to give its residents a more independent feel to their stay by involving them in the outside community. They have been extremely caring and giving to my mother in law. The transition has been hard for her, but we can't fault the staff.

My father is doing well here at this community. I know he is safe and being cared for very well. He is improving each other. The staff tells me anything that happens, their communication is great. They are providing him with good care. It has been a good experience, and I would recommend this community.

A Place for Mom really helped to get me to check out Brookdale. The people at Brookdale are friendly and helpful as well as giving you a feeling that you loved one will be in good hands. My dad was absolutely opposed to going to any type of senior facility, and after going to lunch at Brookdale with [Removed] and [Removed], he changed his mind and gave it a chance. After a week, he seems more involved, is taking better care of himself, and also letting the staff assist him in areas he wouldn't accept help for before.... Thank you all at Brookdale !!!!!

I couldn't be happier with our decision to place my Grandmother at Brookdale! The staff is wonderful and very welcoming. The facility is very clean and beautiful. Her apartment is cozy and very roomy! The food is wonderful. I would highly recommend this facility!

A nice community that is very clean. The staff is great and offers escort services . My mom takes care of other things on her own. She has a lot of food in her . They do offer activities. We are hoping that she would do more then go to lunch. They had a celebration that she enjoyed. At this time she is not participating. I would recommend this community for the great care that is offered here.

My mother's respite stay at Brookdale Brandon gives me and my family a lot of peace. We can tell a huge difference in her recovery since she's been there. The loving and caring atmosphere has made the difference. My mother's care has been designed to meet her unique needs. She's well taken care of in the memory care unit. The staff is on point encouraging and helping her as needed. Thank you Brookdale Brandon!!!

Just moved daddy in today, we all are just so excited for him and all the family that will be coming to see him. I know daddy will do well here & we are close to drive more often now to visit him. God Bless my Daddy, can't wait to get together tomorrow with him.Praise God ???? Praise God????

I am sad to see the bad reviews. My mom has been there for a couple years and we couldnt be happier. The staff is so loving and caring. Things we a little rough in the beginning, but have really taken a turn for the best. We are very happy with Brookdale North Spokane

My loved one has really been enjoying there stay at this community, the staff are very attentive to his needs and have made him feel right at home in his new living environment. My dad has been participating in the various activities and has really enjoyed the company of the residents.

Very nice. Staff accommodates residents needs creating a very homelike residence.

My loved one has really enjoyed her self since she made the move into this community, the staff and residents have all taken extra time to get know my grandmother and make sure she is comfortable in her new living environment. The meals are always healthy with great proportions. I overall have no complaints.
