I have a backyard too
Some days are better breakfast is best for me. Since I just got a 10% raise in the cost here I still think it's worthwhile and I am doing well here I hope that some things will change and maybe I need to change. They check our welfare daily since I am only in independent living and they check our welfare daily to keep us safe They also have a transportation that can take me in my wheelchair to doctor's appointments, etc.

Our family had an in person tour with Brookdale Redwood City and the tour was great. The grounds are beautiful. The biggest issue is the rooms are very small and the HVAC system needs to me updated. But the sales team were polite, friendly and patient with our many questions

A safe community would recommend
With this being the first time our loved one has experience a senior residential living community, it really has been an easy transition for him. All of the staff members have been very friendly and welcoming. The community is in a well located area and close in proximity for our family which is very convenient. We have not had experience with the meals or dining service but our loved one seems to be very happy with it. Based on our experience and our loved one being comfortable, we would recommend Brookdale Redwood City to other families.

Didn't work out for us.
My loved one did not like the meals much. There were some staff that were great and there were others that we did not mesh with well. I would recommend to look elsewhere just due to our experience. We did not have a great experience and I think that presentation and what you see when your touring and what you are told don't line up with what you actually receive. They did not check on my loved one the way that they stated that they would and things just didn't line up. They are very reactionary instead of being proactive. They are understaffed and dealing with Covid but they were not forthcoming with the information.

I would recommend to put this facility on your shop list
I would tell others to make sure to do a walk through before you make your choice of apartment. I did not do that and when I moved in some things needed to be fixed. I was not a fan of the food at first but there is a new executive chef and it is definitely improving. The residents do seem to really love the activities that are provided here. I am enjoying my stay and really happy with the people I have met so far.

I'll be here until 2053 when I'll be 101 and hope to die. There's no reason under the sun to go anywhere else.
Bring your suitcase and your checkbook, and move right in. They're great across the board. No one can surpass their level of care for my personal health and safety.

We chose Brookdale Redwood City because of the value for the money was comparable and also the convenient location for family. She is in a studio and it is good size for what she needs, she is comfortable. She loves the food that they serve. I would recommend to others looking.

Next move for us will be Brookdale
Not only is Brookdale within a mile from our house, but it is just the right place that our Aunt enjoys, especially the other residents who befriended her and share activities and meals with her each day. Her two-bedroom apartment is just the right size to fit the many belongings she moved from her two-bedroom house, although she still needs to find another place for her life-time acquisitions. The best thing for us, however, is that she lives so close to us that we can visit with her, take her shopping, and often have her over for dinner. When it's our time to move into assisted living, we'll definitely consider Brookdale as our new home.

Good place but not for me.
I am 80 years old, newly widowed after 61 years together. I am very active in the local community where I moved to be close to my daughter and granddaughter. There is assisted care in one building and independent life in the other three. However, I find few people who are truly energetic and live truly active lives, leaving the property, driving, etc. My needs are not being met, and I am depressed at this property. I don't need all the amenities offered. So, it's mostly me who is not right for Brookdale. I have submitted a rental application to a senior apartment complex nearby. No meals are served, which is what I like...cooking, cleaning, etc. Everyone is self-caring. I should have come there, and will when an apartment opens, and I can give this Brookdale two months notice.

Horrible experience
I would never recommend Brookdale at Jensen Beach. Although I did like the staff very much, they were severely understaffed and they barely had any activities. They pretty much sit around all day in wheelchairs( which they quickly put my mother in, even though she used a walker before moving in). My mother fell the first night she was there and ended up in the ER. She was a major fall risk. And after her last fall (4 total) she succumbed to her injuries and passed away only after 10 weeks of being there. Do not send your loved one there. The memory care facility should be shut down.

about Brookdale Redwood City

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

A Place for Mom has scored Brookdale Redwood City 8.8 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.
