Serene Gardens

This place is wonderful. Clean, organized and very bright. The management and staff are friendly, kind and I see compassion for their clients. My loved one is happy with the menu and the extra snacks. They provide crafts, field trips, beauty salon, an in house physician, fun games and attention. It always smells so good. I have never experienced bad odors. All I can say is. Check this facility out. My loved one is VERY happy and content. She is always clean, too. Music really makes her happy and they provide that also. 5 stars from me and my Family.. Highly recommended....

We are happy with the care here in this nice community. The staff is caring and make sure that she is getting the attention and cattle that she needs. We like the community for being clean and maintained. The activities are good and she enjoys the. We would recommend this community for great care and value.

A very nice facility - great food, nice spots for TV and visitors...not too big...However, the best part about the place is the people who work there...wonderful, caring employees that my dad took to right away...and lots of experience - each of the key staff members has at least ten years there - I've learned that's pretty rare in that industry... There's a lot of apprehension and at least a little bit of guilt in all of us when we make that decision for our parents, but the Brookdale staff was tremendous from the minute me and my sister walked into the place for our initial visit, and they continuously keep us posted...Another important thing: They have a very active and engaging schedule for the "tenants" so they're challenged mentally, physically (to their limitations, of course), and socially. I love my dad more than anything in the world, and I am so happy he is now part of Brookdale...

Friendly staff, they were very helpful.

We are happy with the staff at this community. The community is clean and a nice environment for here. They need more staff and some of the house cleanings could use some small improvements. The menu is good and she is pleased and likes the variety. We are happy that they are taking a time to make sure that she had the care that she is needing. They do need to work on getting more staff that can help and they need to make sure that they are trained. We would recommend this community for the care of a loved one. We would recommend that they are informed of all the charges and it needs to be made clear on all the cost.

My husband has been there two weeks and so far I have been very happy with the care he has received. The staff seems very caring and professional.

Very nice memory care facility. Appears clean, staff very friendly. Residents seem happy and many participate in activities. Lovely flower garden area residents care for.

The care at this community is outstanding. The community is nice and clean. I like knowing that she is happy with the nice meals and she likes helping with the staff on cooking. She likes all the activities and I like knowing that she is very happy. I would highly recommend this community for the care and value for their loved ones.

I toured this community, but I wanted somewhere close to my home. The staff were helpful and answered my questions on the care that is given to this nice community. I highly suggest that families tour this community for care for a loved one

This is a excellent community. I like knowing that she likes the staff who are taking great care of her. The comunity is very clean and she likes the outdoor areas. The meals are outstanding and she likes the variety of healthy meals. The activities are offer for her to participate with the other residents.

This all started because I needed to find a place for respite care for my father for a two week period. Brookdale was recommended by a Place for Mom. I was contacted with minutes after talking a Place for Mom's representative. They bent over backwards to help me get my father admitted. (This is not like checking into a hotel!) They made this as painless as possible. Then at the end of the 2 week period my father decided he wanted to stay. Prior to this he was not keen about going to assisted living. The staff again was helpful on getting my father fully admitted and he now resides with them and is happy. They helped make a difficult experience a much easier one!!

I trust this community to provide top-notch care to those in need of services in the Battle Creek area. The homelike setting makes it easy for the staff to really know the residents and their family members. Every time I visit the community, the residents are busy doing activities and enjoying meals. I recommend people come for a tour to see for themselves. The memory care building just had a renovation, too.

The rooms are small and very dark. My mom needed a bigger room and more sunlight in the daytime. It seemed to be very hot inside and it would not be a good fit. Families might like this for a lower cost for the needs of the family member needing care. We did not see activities or were offered any of the meals. Families might see if this is what they are looking for when it comes to the care of a loved one.

We just had a care conference and it looks like it's going well. The staff are doing a wonderful job and they are helping us understand the changes my mother-in-law is going through, she has no memory at all. From what I have seen the meal looks wonderful and I think it's very well. They try to accommodate her meal when it is something she does not like. My mother-in-law has gone out with them on a couple occasions, it went okay. Once she fell, she was not hurt, but they called me right away and I was able to come see her.

My loved one has really enjoyed his stay so far at this community, the staff have done a great job at making sure that my dad is comfortable and his needs are being met. He has especially enjoyed the different field trips they take them on and the various activities they do with the residents during the week. I overall have no complaints and would recommend this facility.

I am very happy with the care my father is receiving here. The community is nice and very clean. The staff is very helpful. He was pleased with the food that was served. I would recommend this for great care for other families.

Brookdale is a very nice and convient place for the loved one. My father, after having been to a bunch of different homes, really like the atmosphere of Brookdale and the fact that it is a small community. Only tip I would have is to get everything in writing about what the home will and won't do or provide.

Mom is adjusting well to living at this community. She likes the food and the community is extremely well kept. The staff work well with her. They offer quit a few activities that she likes to participate in.

We were very stressed out about having our mother stay in a facility like this. The people there are wonderful and do everything to make my mom feel welcomed, and to reassure us that they will take care of her.
