Senior Living Asset Management

Loved the facility and loved Patty Nicol! We will be back to visit again.

Visited without an appointment. Beautiful facility, well lit & well-maintained. Numerous activities, & shared spaces. Onsite medical and therapy services. Pool access not as convenient as some facilities visited. Steps into pool, no lift for those unable to maneuver steps. Staff friendly. Gorgeous courtyard areas. Layout somewhat confusing.

We looked at several assisted living institutions for my father. Brookdale was warm and inviting. There was a vitality that some other places lacked. The residents seemed to be out and about and engaged. The care providers seemed to know the residents and in particular the dining room staff was warm and caring. We tasted the food and gave it high marks. right now the only down side is the dimness of the lighting in the side gathering areas outside the resident rooms. Nothing a larger watt light bulb wouldn't cure. It is hard to say how the activities are. Most are the same as on would find in any assisted living. The question is how they are promoted and attended. I don't know the answer yet. The janitor needs to clean the stair wells. Otherwise the building seemed well cared for. I am happy to note I may change this review as my father experiences life at Brookdale.

They have been fine. The facility is very nice, and the staff are all friendly. I haven't really had any major concerns or complaints at this time. I give them a four out of five, because, nobody is perfect.

I thought their apartments were nice. They’re larger than the ones I’ve seen in other communities. It’s conveniently located. There are a lot of things around it. So they have a lot of options for trips as part of their activities.

We weren't there that long, just a couple of weeks. While we were there everything was fine. I don't have any complaints. I don't think there is anything to improve or be concerned about. It's a good place.

My mother is at Bloom at Belfair for about a month and a half. The facility is very well appointed and the staff and residents are very friendly, and there are many activities. On the negative side, you should know that the floor plans as provided prior to renting are not as indicated, for example the apartment we rented was shown as 460 sq ft, in actuality it is only 315. In addition, the brochure indicates that wifi is available and when asked we were told it would reach into the apartments, in actuality it does not and requires an addition payment of $80/month to the local phone company to bring broadband into the apartment. This is a significant expense for someone on a tight budget such as my mother. It is particularly annoying given that these are items that were considered in choosing between several places.

My Mother has been a resident at Barrington Terrace, Naples, Florida for 4 months. She is content as is her family members. The nursing staff is exemplary; the caregivers, average. Unfortunately, as we are experiencing in various health care settings, the daily caregivers lack any type of enthusiasm; very apparent they do not like their work and have no communication skills. These are the people who come into the most frequent contact with the residents and this can lead to some difficulties. The management and nursing staff is par excellent. I would recommend Barrington.

So far we have had no problems. My mom seems to be more settled every day and we have found the staff and other residents to be very friendly and helpful. The facility presents a good value for the services rendered. The food is quite good as well.

I was a brand new facility and it was lovely but I decided to choose a community where I already knew people who live there.

We liked this place.

As in all facilities like this the bottom line is a factor and hinders paying or hiring enough staff and preparing and serving quality foods. It’s the problem with all for profit businesses. You always have staff that cares and works hard and staff that would rather sit and do nothing also communication is very lacking.

They have activities every day for my Mother and this is what she needs with dementia. The food is wonderful and she is gaining all her weight back. The staff is very friendly and helpful and it is very clean there. I am very pleased to know my loved one has a nice place to live and can get the interaction she needs.

Overall, the staff was good, kind and caring. The biggest issue was that they were very understaffed. They did their best, but only a handful of people could not keep up. There was a large turn over in the dining area/ food as well.

Don't believe what they tell you. Very short staffed. My mom was there 2 months and they only cleaned twice.

Overall it has worked for my brother due to the cost. The facility is clean but there needs to be a lot of painting throughout the common areas. The exterior of the building needs pressure washing. As to personnel the front desk and management are helpful and nice. The dining room personnel seem to have attitudes the times I have eaten there. Needs improvement. Activities are fine and most of the time the food is good. My brother would like to have more to eat in the evening but just him.

Very old building. The entire exterior of the building needs power washing beginning with the wicker chairs and white wooden rocking chairs at the front entrance. There are holes in the interior ceilings that need repair ;two outside my room where water leaked from the ceiling and the carpet below it was soaked. Fans to dry wet carpet in the hallways are sometimes needed due to leaks from the 2nd floor to the 1st floor.The building is not kept up & the owners don’t seem to care, but I believe [name removed], the manager, will address that. Many residents attended a meeting last week about the quality of the food going downhill, & [name removed] listened, took notes, & the food is now delicious since that meeting. The next meeting is about the building itself, staffing & safety for people with memory issues. The activities director & physical therapist are great. The maintenance men are responsive …hanging shelves, changing fan lights, etc. The residents are kind & help each other if help is needed.

Not the greatest but price was one of lower ones in this area. Not great, not terrible, just okay.

We would have to say the meals were not very good. Small portions and the food was not as advertised. It was more like school cafeteria food. The coffee bar that was advertised was non existent. Never any coffee, creamer, sugar or cups. It was a very depressing place.

My in-laws were surprised at how low staff the kitchen is. My father-in-law now goes down each morning with his own container and asks them to put scrambled eggs and bacon in it. He then takes it upstairs to microwave it bc it is often served cold in the dining hall. They also learned that it is better to go down early for the meals bc they run out of items. My mother-in-law is set up to get assistance with showers a couple of times each week and the person comes at all different times. They set up a standing time so she would be ready and still someone came so early that she was still in bed. Older people get stressed easily when caught off guard. The Manager is trying. One example is she did have everyone on staff help during one of the meal times. I do think that they could set up a schedule for the showers for each person vs the worker telling them that they're just on the list and so they just do what they're supposed to I do know that they like going down for the wine and social hour I do believe more staffing would change my response.
