Most of the CNA's do a great job of taking care of their residents. The biggest concern of mine is when the CNA's go on break they all go at the same time leaving residents unsupervised.

Very Disappointing
I moved my mother here and after only 3 weeks we decided it was not working out. We were specifically told that the assistants would be involving my mother in the scheduled activities. As it turns out they did not alert her to these activities even after I again was assured by the activities director that she would be alerted and asked to join. I personally sat in her room more that a few times where the activities were going on and no one came to get her. Moreover, on several occasions the activities were canceled. Bottom line in three weeks my mother was never brought into activities and basically all that she received was 3 meals a day for a pretty sizable monthly fee. They do the bare minimum there for a premium fee in excess of market assisted living fees. Some staff seem good but most are indifferent and un-caring. I was hopeful this would be a long term place for mom but had to move her to a better place after 3 weeks suffering a substantial penalty. NOT recommended!

There's always room for improvement.
Communication is sometimes lost especially during a shift change. CNA's need to do all there required tasks and remember what specifics are part of a residents needs. The nurses are doing a great job. They are very good at taking care of any issues I may have. Brookdale was a good choice- glad we are here.

A Caring Village
Our loved one has been at Brookdale Carmel for over two years and we visit daily, so are well-aquainted with the facility. Obviously determining a community for someone with dementia is a major decision. It helps everyone involved that family and friends are VERY welcomed at Brookdale. There's a true sense of community. The design of the facility, with pods and small dining/social areas, is ideal for memory care. Staff are well-trained and patient with residents, even in challenging moments. ALL staff see resident well-being as their job. Brookdale Carmel is extremely clean and well-maintained, and activities for mental stimulation are appropriate, fun, and engaging.

perfect for our family
From the quality of qualified staff, specific to memory care needs, & the nursing care that is provided daily, Brookdale Carmel is the place to be. With the "neighborhood" concept, it has proven perfect for our family member. A maximum 8 residents per neighborhood with a CNA present, provides more personal care for your loved one. Each of these area's has their own living room / TV, as well as dining for breakfast, lunch & dinner. There is always an activity going on for those that are able or desire to participate or attend. The staff is very courteous & friendly as well. All nursing homes & health care facilities are expensive these days, but if you want the best care for your loved one, Brookdale Carmel is where you need to be.

Absolutely the best for dementia/Alzheimer's care! We picked this community, because the staff is extensively trained to deal with Alzheimer's and dementia. That and they have NEVER kicked anybody out like [removed] did to my mom.

My Reflection on Her Stay
We thought Brookdale Carmel was very nice. It's such a pretty facility. The staff were very friendly and easy to work with. If you can get your loved one in there relatively early when they still have some of their faculties, I think it's great. It can be a bit harder for them to adjust later after some decline. You have to be their advocate when they're in that condition, which would be the case anywhere. If a person can't see, you'll need to spend more time with them to get them out and about. Again, that would be the case anywhere you go. We were pleased with them and would use them again, and I would recommend them to other families.

Caring well designed community for loved ones with memory care
Brookdale Carmel is solely focused on the person and maintaining their abilities and recognize themselves as individuals. We love the architectural layout of Brookdale, it is made up of smaller communities that house only a certain amount of residents. They each of their own dining hall, but if you always wanted to go an eat at different community you can. For people with are easily disorientated, this is a nice set up for them. They don't have to walk down big hallways into a big dining room. There are also plenty of activities for the residents to take part in.

I have been impressed with how they have broken down the community into groups of 8 and everything is based on that group. They have the same caretakers each day. Communication is good between the staff and our family, they have kept up well informed. I would recommend this community to others.
