Wonderful facility with great staff. Highly recommend!
If I could give the activities more than a 5, I would. The activity offerings are fabulous! The activities and the family atmosphere are the best. They offered the full range of services possible at their licensing level. My dad has an ostomy bag, and not all places would help with that.

Wonderful facility with great staff. Highly recommend!
If I could give the activities more than a 5, I would. The activity offerings are fabulous! The activities and the family atmosphere are the best. They offered the full range of services possible at their licensing level. My dad has an ostomy bag, and not all places would help with that. Also, again...the family feeling connected with all the activities. For example, whenever possible, memory care would come to the assisted living side for music programs and social events. The commitment to truly engaging residents at all levels was really obvious. Also, they have at least one nurse IN THE BUILDING 24/7.

Nice community, nurses on site, good staff
Minor hiccups in communication. The overall cleanliness of the community is really nice. Everyone has been great. The care services get a 3 out of 5 only because they could use about 100 more staff. When it comes to the meals and dining, dad has no complaint. For the activities, we couldn't say. Dad is too sick to attend. They seem to have a lot of good stuff planned. It's not bad for what we get and they offer a lot of services

Best Move for Mom
I’m [name removed] (POA) for my Mother, [name removed]. I, with my family’s blessings, made the decision to move my Mother to Brookdale from another care facility. The difference has been remarkable. Mom has advanced dementia and has increasingly been a difficult patient to handle. Brookdale has performed exceptionally well. One of the great improvements that we looked for was staff turnover.At Brookdale it has been minimal. That speaks volumes. Consistency and a stable atmosphere are paramount to us. Brookdale’s approach is in tune with the disease and understands it. Cleanliness is top notch. Keeping us aware of Mom’s issues and how they are being handled has been a breath of fresh air. Until you have seen your loved one neglected and under unnecessary mistreatment you can’t truly appreciate how outstanding Brookdale is. We have been there. I could go on and on but Will stop here and simply say Brookdale is professional top to bottom. We can sleep at night knowing she is in good hands.

I would highly recommend Brookdale for anyone seeking Memory Care for a loved one. My family's experience was probably a bit unique because my Dad was not there very long. His health declined unexpectedly and rapidly shortly after he moved in. However, the staff was wonderful. They were very proactive about making my Dad feel welcome and coming up with activities that he might enjoy. They genuinely seemed to care about how he was doing and about him as a person. Then, when it became apparent that his health was declining faster than anyone had expected, the nurses helped our family to navigate the difficult process of helping him at the end of his life. We felt their love and caring for my Dad and for us and it gave us peace of mind even as we were all grieving. I really can't fully express how much having them on our team helped my family.

My first respite stay was great; however, the recent second respite stay, while I recovered from surgery, was even better. Programs and activities were wonderful. The fitness classes were accessible to all residents, regardless of condition. as well as activities with memory care. Food was well prepared and nicely served. Admins were great to work with and residents, as usual, were a joy to meet.

Not Worth The Money, Because The Food Is Bad
The staff are good; however, they are constantly rotating. The food is horrible, and I can't recommend the community. They have gone through at least 4 cooks in the last 4 months. The staff communication has been getting better; however, there are times that I can't find a manager to discuss very specific questions. The community overall is very transitional with staff and residents.

Wish We Had Made the Move Sooner
The people at Brookdale are very caring people. The facility is so nice and peaceful. I was very happy when I found it for my mom. One of mom's biggest wishes was that she could have her cat with her. They allow pets there. If you were unable to take care of them they will take care of the pet for you. Mom got to have a kitty until she passed. It made moving in to assisted living much easier for her. I would recommend Brookdale highly. It's a wonderful place. I didn't worry about my mom when she was there. If I had to do again, I would do it sooner than I did.

Don't go here. Keep looking, and find another place because this won't be a good fit. I experienced poor quality of care. They are also extremely understaffed. I don't believe the quality of care is a result of their lack of staff. I just think it's not run well at all.

Stressful and Lack of Care
I wouldn't recommend you go here with your loved one. The staff didn't want to work very hard, in fact the family had to hire additional outside help to assist my loved one eight hours each day. The sales lady kept telling us before my loved one moved in that would take care of a high level of acute care; however, they weren't. The community wasn't willing to work with a restricted diet due to dietary restrictions. My loved one would ask for different food and because of this the cook came out and yelled at my loved one. I wouldn't send anyone here unless they could walk and talk.

Staffing is a problem area
When my family and I came by on a Saturday afternoon, no one was at the front desk. If we call or visit during the week, the receptionist has been cold and unfriendly. A warm and welcoming atmosphere should be everyone's experience every time he/she enters the front door.

If You Have a Family Member with Memory Problems, Brookdale Doesn't Seem to Address Those Problems as Quickly As They
I would like you to know that the community is short staffed. They don't let the families know when there is a COVID outbreak in the community. There will be an email that will come eventually; however, they don't keep you informed on the progress of it all. The food is subpar. When there is enough staff, they will do trivia, games, exercise and more as some of the activities.

I give this facility an above fair rating. It was a nice facility with great staff but not quite what we are looking for. We are looking for assisted living with as much homey feel as possible. The rooms are smaller here and the facility felt more like a nursing home than an apartment facility.

Brookdale Urbana offers Studio, 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored Brookdale Urbana 8.9 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.
