My Tour Experience at Brookdale Fort Walton Beach
Brookdale Ft Walton Beach was ok, not a good option for my in-laws. Not many activities and an even smaller facility. When I looked at a year ago, it needed updating. I don't know if they've done it by now or not.

Tour of Brookdale
We had a great tour experience with Brookdale, the facility looked awesome. They offered assisted living and memory care which looking back I wish I would have gone with someplace that just offered memory care. Unfortunately this facility was twice the price of the one that we ended up choosing which is why we did not go with them.

Mom lived here for three years
Brookdale cared for my mom for 3 years, very compassionate and caring, I couldn’t think of a better place for my mom. The level of care is what one would expect for their loved ones and not only did they take care of her, they made sure I was always informed about her health and always consulted me on her care.

I Would Use Them Again
It was pretty difficult because of the pandemic and Covid. Access was very limited. Somebody who might be considering Brookdale Fort Walton Beach in the future hopefully won't have to deal with the same things I had to deal with regarding visitation. You had to call and make an appointment, so you had to plan around their ability to provide you access, which was very limited. They had designated meeting areas, and you had to stay 6 feet apart. So they were trying to meet the CDC guidelines, but it was still very awkward considering this was your family member. It was relatively clean, just okay, not exceptional. I felt the same way about the staff, just okay, not exceptional. But my loved one has had a huge positive upswing in functioning having been there in a stable environment with three meals a day provided. She needed that regimentation and people watching over her and taking care of her. She fell a few times while she was there and had immediate access to support, which was important.

For Memory Care Residents Only
I would tell others it depends on the potential resident's health conditions. The population is 90/10 memory care residents vs. non-memory care. The staff expect non-memory care residents to enjoy their time there since most of the residents are memory care. The food wasn't good and cut up very small, similar to feeding a child. The staff would treat my loved one like a memory care resident, even though they weren't. I've brought my concerns up to the Supervisor of the Directors for them to know.

Good experience with Brookdale
It is hard right now because we are not allowed inside the facility or in her room. I do understand why and I believe she is in a safe environment, but it can be difficult. With the food, I think they need to provide options and more variety. I do like that they have a 24 hour nursing staff at the facility, it is a big plus and is one of the main reasons we chose them over others we looked into.

Good job
We chose Brookdale Fort Walton Beach because it was close to our house and when you walked in it wasn't depressing. She is in a studio and it is plenty of room for her needs. The staff members and care here has been great. The only issue we have had is the price has increased quite a bit since she has moved in here. Overall, I would recommend if you can afford it, it is expensive for what you get.

Not As Inviiting As Others
This community was not as inviting to the eye as others we had toured. It was an older community that is in desperate need of a refurbish. The carpet needs to be replaced and everything needs a good paint job to make it brighter and more inviting. The staff was friendly and very nice.

High Hopes
We have mom here at Brookdale Fort Walton Beach for a respite stay in the hopes that this will become her permanent home. We like the fact that she can stay here through all of her care needs all the way through to hospice. Mom can be difficult at times and the staff is trying their best and to do as much as they can to make her comfortable. I have to communicate with them long distance and they try to accommodate my suggestions of improving my mom's acclimating to her new surroundings. They do offer activities, but at this point in time my mom is doing a sit-in and refusing to participate. This experience is definitely a work in process.

A Place for Mom has scored Brookdale Fort Walton Beach 8 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
