Brookdale Portage Assisted Living.
My mother entered Brookdale Portage for a respite stay. After touring a few places, Brookdale felt the closest to “home”. My mother enjoyed her stay and looks forward to visiting the friends she made there. I am very impressed with both their services and the caring staff they have there.

It has been comfortable, more space in the room then what I was expecting. The staff overall have been pleasant. Being able to have my dog here has been a treat. The in-house therapy has been wonderful.

Our Family's experience
Their onboarding is terrible. They do not accommodate meal requests. If a resident wants to eat in their room is a [fee charged] charge. If the resident has a very picky pallet they are not accommodating. The activities are all on the lower level which was confusing for my mom on how to get there. I didn't feel their staff was very welcoming in making my mom feel like this was her home. In [date removed] my mom had an episode that they couldn't control. My mom ended up inpatient geriatric evaluation and was diagnose with two kinds of dementia. We then moved her to a memory care until. Their bookkeeping of accounts was not very well done. I know they had some big staff changes about the time we moved my mom out so it's probably a lot different there now. I know Brookdale was a 5 star rating. I would not give them that for at the time my mom was there.

Beautiful Facility and Staff.
I would say they were a beautiful facility with an awesome Executive Director and welcoming staff. They did a wonderful job caring for my father until the end. I would recommend this community to other families. It is in a great area. I was able to take my dad for walks in the Fall.

Room cleanliness
The overall community is clean. However, my mom's room is RARELY cleaned - except by me. Also there has been a $600 a month increase which is astronomical. Especially for someone on fixed income.

mom is safe & happy! She even has her cat!
we needed a place where mom would be safe, have a very friendly place that would solve our problems of mom falling and someone to make sure she gets all of her meds and a clean and happy surrounding. Brookdale has more than met our goals. She even can have her cat!

Intake process has been a terrible process
Treated poorly by the management staff. The facility sent a nurse to interview my mother. The nurse stated she would be a good fit for assisted living and did not need memory care. The management staff used notes from a hospital stay 5 years ago to over ride that recommendation and try and force us into memory care (more money, less socialization). My mother was a Brookdale resident in assisted living for a couple of months previously and had no issues. Her current dr's also don't think she needs memory care. The impersonal way the management staff has worked with our family is very unsettling. We are speaking with other facilities that have approached the situation much differently thus far.
I'm very disheartened by the management's approach with our family and hope that others can avoid this situation.

Good Community With Low Staffing
The community had promised a lot during the tour and orientation; however, they haven't been able to fulfill these promises due to staffing. As a family member you really need to be an advocate due to the staffing shortage in healthcare overall right now.
My loved one enjoys the activities offered. The community is willing to accommodate the residents requests for food such as a grilled cheese sandwich or something additional, if they don' like what is being served.

Poor Communication and Onboarding
I would encourage you not to take your loved one to Brookdale Portage. The communication was horrible and they weren't accommodating to the residents. It didn't seem that my loved one's bathroom was cleaned more than once. This was disappointing to us. It seemed there was always some type of excuse with them. There were some staff that were wonderful to work with though.
The activities director was great and she worked hard at getting my loved one involved in activities.
The onboarding experience was horrible for us at this community. They never read the choices of meal options to my loved one.

Visit was lovely
We visited Brookdale Memory Care Portage with dad and thought the facility was top notch. I felt welcomed by the staff and was very impressed with the food and activity selection. We are moving forward with the placement process and am so thankful we found a great place for dad. I love the socialization time with other residents and the large size of the rooms compared to other places we have seen.

My review of Brookdale
We toured Brookdale Portage and we did not like that everything was done in units rather than being open to all residents. Also the rooms here were smaller than some others that we looked into.

I'm Happy With What I Have Seen So Far
My loved one is very happy at Brookdale Portage. The staff is very easily accessible for questions over my loved one.
The community is scheduling outdoor visits to see loved ones.
They do have activities available for residents.

The staff was wonderful and caring. I couldn't have higher praise for the nurses aides, dining staff, etc. However, the management team leaves much to be desired. They were rarely available, and completely missing on weekends. I felt their main purpose was to squeeze out every dime from us. Everything was an extra charge - even someone to walk next to her for 30 feet for meals.

We chose a different community and here's why
My mom and I scheduled an appointment to come visit and they called us the morning of to tell us that they did not have any rooms available. We wanted to see what they looked like anyway and asked if we could still come by, to which they said okay. When we went, the lady that I had talked to was not there and the person that gave us a tour was not knowledgeable at all about the type of care that my dad needed (he has dementia). The staff really had no clue as to what redirection meant. They didn’t seem to interact well with the residents that also had dementia. The cleanliness of the facility seemed to be okay. The resident help alarms went off a little longer than we were comfortable with – I think at one point in time there was an alarm that went off for 5 or 10 minutes. My mom fell while on premises and the only thing they did was ask her if she was okay. Had the girl showed up and done the tour with us, that might’ve changed our minds.

A tour for mom
We toured this commmunity and we wanted a community that would be able to assist more with her care. The community is clean and we felt that this community was too small for what we needed. They do offer a good menu and activiites that are helpful to the residents.

Our tour
This is a nice community and the staff I met were nice. They have an enclosed walking path and they seem to offer some nice activities. This community would not accept our loved one as they were not able to care for someone with their stage of Dementia.

Improvements needed.
The tour at this community was not what we wanted. The staff took me to a room that was not clean and we did not want my mom in a community where the staff is not cleaning the rooms. We did not see a menu and they did not inform us on the activities if offered to the residents. We would suggest that families tour this community on their own to see if it fits their needs for care for a loved one.
