Brookdale

Every time I enter - someone greets me by name. My brother is very happy at Brookdale. He is finally meeting new people & reaching out to participate in more activities. Thank you!

Brookdale was really wonderful; my aunt was hoping to be able to go back there when she got better but that never happened. As far as [name removed] and I feel Brookdale should receive the highest score possible! That the staff is very caring and listened to our concerns. The only thing is they were short staffed so worked extra hard with what they had.

Everyone at this brookdale facility knows the residents names and makes sure they are acknowledged and gets personal attention from the executive directors down to the care givers and cleaning people. They always treat residents and visitors with dignity and respect.

My mother is currently a resident at Brookdale Northwest Hills and the experience has been great. I am very happy with Brookdale Northwest Hills. This facility is a good fit for my mother and it is very close to me.

Other than price, they made my mom last year of life a wonderful experience. From day one until her passing

I love that my mom had a private room, but also had a friend next-door and other friends that she could eat with or sit on the porch with but she had privacy if some of her family or friends came to see her. I love that she didn't have to try to prepare meals herself or live alone, and it was a friendly convenient place for family to visit. We were able to have a birthday party for her in the big family room. I loved being able to visit with her on the front porch during the summer. I loved being able to be involved with activities like helping to plant flowers for the flowerpots in the summer. I loved that she had some therapy if she needed it. The meals were always delicious and the activities were outstanding! We got to have a tea party at Mother's Day. We had celebrations for Valentines and Halloween and people visited to sing on occasion or she loved church and being able to have a regular Church Sunday like she did at home. my experience with Brookdale was wonderful and I think my mom enjoyed it as well. She would've loved being at home, but she would've been lonely and she had friends and purpose at Brookdale!

Quality of staff care for my spouse was my number one priority. Facility and room layout, facility location, cost, overall size and the personality of the space, and other amenities are also factors. During a short visit, I was able to ask about staff turnover, and was able to see some resident/staff interactions. Staff interaction during the assessment of my spouse as an applicant was valuable. I was also looking at the rooms (size, single or double) and the space configuration (does it seem to fit my spouse’s behavior, eg, is she a pacer or a socializer). I also talked to family members of current residents. I believe one never knows for sure if it will work beforehand. And what works for one family is not always transferable to another resident or family. For me, I am glad I chose Brookdale Meadowment for my spouse. My feelings about the caring and skill of the staff have been confirmed. A single room in a small facility seems right. And location works for me.

When my parents decided to move into assisted living we looked at three places. When we walked into Brookdale Reynolda we knew we had found Mom and Dad’s new home. You walk right into the entry hall which opens up to the dining room and it smelled wonderful. The rooms were clean and freshly painted. The staff were all so welcoming and were sincerely interested in our situation. The care has been phenomenal from the cleaners all the way up to the CNAs and nurses doctors, NPs and PAs. Mom enjoys the food and is always presented a balanced meal. The activity director does an excellent job keeping activities for the residents usually having a morning and afternoon activity each day. The staff coordinates care for each resident and does a great job implementing care. The director told me she loves all her residents and tries to “lay eyes” on each one each day. We offered for Mom to come home with us but she says Brookdale Reynolda is her home now and she wants to stay there.

My mom has been at Brookdale, Meadowmont for just about one year and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. The staff are wonderful and caring and they always strive to make it a great place to live. We just enjoyed a lovely Mother’s Day tea for example. The facility is terrific-super clean and cozy rooms. The best compliment that I can give is that it was hard for my mom to move out of her own home, but she says that now Brookdale feels like home! I truly believe this is the best place in the Triangle for my mom!

Came in without an appointment and was helped with information with no hesitation. The staff is very friendly, I was greeted with a smile the moment I walked in the door which is refreshing. It was clean and smelled like something delicious was being made in the kitchen. I also really liked that it’s smaller size community with a home like feel.

My mom has been in Clare Bridge for about 3 weeks. The staff has done a good job taking their time with her and making sure she's settling in well. When I come to visit, she always seems to be in a good mood, and she's not distressed when I leave. I have been impressed with the staff ratio in memory care (1:4), the stability of the staff, and the good communication with the admin team. The hands-on caregivers, who have the greatest impact on Mom's quality of life, are positive and caring, truly good people. The unit is small enough (just 8 residents) that the caregivers are getting to know my mom really well and trying very earnestly to work with her in ways that make her the most comfortable.

The facility is clean and the colors are bright and cheerful. The staff are friendly and show care and respect to my mother. My mom loves living here.

We love it here. The people, service and food are all great and that is just a few things we love most about the community. The price increase for this year was a bit high but was able to negotiate which I did not know was something routinely done.

Brookdale is a safe and interesting place to live. There are many great activities, games, and entertainment to choose each day. Staff are very caring and helpful.

We had a great dinner this evening with the Brookdale resident in celebration of Mother’s Day. Thank you, staff for a wonderful meal of yummy appetizers, meat loaf, green beans, and mashed potatoes. Our mother loves the great staff snd appreciates all the care she receives.

I love living at Brookdale Richland. They all respect our choices and preferences on care and dining. My apt is clean and always feel safe. The staff and other residents are amazing and friendly.

My loved one was previously a resident at Brookdale Virginia Beach and most everything about the facility/experience was great. My only complaint was that their call buttons did not work. Otherwise, everything was great. The staff was wonderful. I would recommend Brookdale Virginia Beach to others.

We found all of the staff at Brookdale Sakonnet Bay extremely helpful and caring. My dad moved in first and my mom moved in after finishing a rehab stint. Unfortunately, she passed after just being there for a very short time. The staff and other residents were very caring and supportive. Some staff even came to the visiting hours. The staff communicated with us about dad very well and genuinely cared about my dad. It is wonderful knowing that my dad has a supportive community during this difficult time, is fed well and his room is deep cleaned once a week. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone with an elder parent. There are now many new younger residents moving in, too.

My aunt is living in Brookdale Bloomington. It's very clean, well staffed, nicely decorated, and homey. There are a variety of activities available to residents each day and my aunt participates in many of those. Recently, we were driving back from lunch out at a restaurant and when my aunt caught sight of Brookdale she said, "There's home." I am so grateful that she feels that way about Brookdale.

Mom moved in a year ago. I could not pick a better place for her to live. Facilities top notch, activities are great , people are world class. Could not recommend more. Mom rates the place 10/10 in all categories as well .
