Great facility/staff, so hope Mom settles in better.
I really do like Brookdale South Bend and the staff there. The issue we have is our mom has been difficult due to her dementia and not wanting to be there and get back home.

Review for Brookdale South Bend
Everyone was pleasant and seemed to enjoy the food. There ws laughter going on, and the residents seemed to be happy. it was a very plesant experience but it was a smaller community of residents. My only concern is, it was near a busy intersection, which was near a college campus. There was a safety concern, considering that my loved one has dementia.

I would recommend this community
excellent! anybody with a loved one in need, Brookdale South Bend is very good. they offer outside activities, physical therapy exercise class, movie day, and entertainment that comes in once a month. the food has good variety and flavor. they do accept pets, and they're very friendly with their weight policy for dogs. I've seen a resident with a 35lb dog there. as with anywhere else, they are having an issue with adequate staff, but they seem to handle it well. they've been improving overall over the last few months. [name removed], the administrator, does a nice job and she's continuing getting better people in here - as far as medical and staffing. I would recommend to others; Brookdale is better than what we expected. they are a small enough facility to where they do care and the staff seems to be into quality care of their clientele.

I definitely would highly recommend
I chose Brookdale South Bend because I was impressed by the way I was approached when I went here to tour. The people who answered my questions were very professional and thorough. I had confidence when I walked out that this was the place I wanted to send him to. The rooms here are private, it was very adequate for his needs. The meals were great and the portions were perfect size. Overall it was a great place to go, if I ever need it for myself I would go here with no question.

A nice, small place
We chose Brookdale South Bend at the time because my mom was in need of assisted living and we were able to get a discount. Even with that discount, the facility is very expensive. As far as I can see, I do not feel like they have enough staff members to care for the amount of residents that they have. Due to the low staff, the communication has not been what I would like it to be.

Not a memory care facility, but a good facility
First impression of South Bend was good, however we did kind of rush into this community and it wasn't exactly the right fit for our loved one. We still would recommend this community to a family or friend.

My parents have been here a year now. It is adequate & they are cared for, but not always & not consistently. As is common in these places, there is a lot of staff turnover & not much accountability. Either it’s someone new who doesn’t know what they need, or someone who leaves something undone for the next shift to handle. It has been mostly okay & definitely better than them living by themselves, but it’s not perfect. I gave them 4 stars because what they do is hard & staff comes and goes, but the backbone of it is strong and they do try to make it feel like home & they do have some activities.

Very Good Overall
Overall, I feel that Brookdale has been doing well for the short time my loved one has been staying there. There some things that we were initially led to believe would happen that have not actually happened yet, such as the internet access. However, I will say, that the staff has been very good overall. They seem to be responsive and helpful, so I am hoping we can work together to come up with satisfactory solutions to my loved one's needs.

Very welcoming. Lots of amenities included in the "basic service." Many activities and considerations for residents. There is a wide range of services available according to residents' needs. We appreciated the attractiveness of all of the communal areas. We especially liked the private dining areas that could be reserved for family gatherings. Apartments seemed a bit small, but of course there is the entire community space to enjoy. The outdoor court is lovely and the possibility for outdoor activities, including gardening, is great.

Feeling very grateful.
I found Brookdale through A Place for Mom. It is small and has promised to be quite personalized. My mother moved in 2 days ago, so I don't know how it will play out, but when we have had questions or encountered a problem, the staff was very responsive. My mother is trying hard, for her part, to make a pleasant life there.

Unfortunately my father in law was only in this community for nine days, and they informed us they were able to provide the level of care he needed. With that information we did have to move him. I feel is he didn't have his medical restrictions, this community could had worked out well for him. It is a nice community with kind people.

A Place for Mom has scored Brookdale South Bend 8.7 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.
