Tour Experience

We toured Brookdale Central during our search for an Assisted Living facility for my mother. This facility was very nice. The cleanliness and friendliness were great. However, our tour guide and sales person was a little pushy.

Good So Far

It has been good for the most part. Medical is good for the most part. PT and OT is good. Food could be better, and communication among the staff so even new hires are on the same page could be better.

Tour experience

I toured Brookdale Central and it was super nice, all of the people I spoke with were lovely. With my loved ones injury, I just felt another facility that had call button necklaces would be better. Brookdale had cords to pull in the rooms, but I was nervous she would not be able to get to it if needed. The sales gal followed up with me many times after we had told them we chose another facility, it was sweet and I understand she is doing her job, but it was just a bit of overkill.

Our experience so far, overall pleased

We chose Brookdale Central because of the price but also because when I got there the atmosphere was very clean and it did not have the typical nursing smell to it. The staff in the beginning was good, it has somewhat deteriorated and I am not sure what happened. I have had a conversation with the manager here and he understands the communication is not up to standards. I am hoping to see improvements there.

Good overall except poor communication from head nurse.

We had a great experience with Brookdale Central EXCEPT the head nurse not communicating with us! We didn't know dad was refusing showers and we were paying for assistance ... My daughter or I were there every day and no communication about this! The director refunded our  in the end. Otherwise a good experience.

Tour experience

I had a wonderful tour experience with Brookdale Central. The facility and the staff were very nice and they have been great with communication and reaching out to me and answering any questions that I have had. They even called and invited me to lunch so we could try the food. The rooms here are a great size. We were looking for respite and they have a minimum stay of 2 weeks which is longer than we needed.

Would Recommend

Overall, I've been happy once we got to be on the same page. I think the staff are good. Once we started to communicate a little bit better, I've been much happier. I'm not sure if other families are just not as involved in their loved one's day-to-day as we are? I had some concerns at first. but now that we're communicating better, I'm a lot happier.

My tour review

Very nice, just was not as memory care orientated as we wanted them to be. The other location was more memory care focused. The tour guide was very helpful.

All our friends and family who visit have great things to say about them.

They are wonderful. Our loved one is happy, and they take good care of her. She says she likes the food. They call me and check in with me. I can't say enough good things about them, everybody there. They've followed Covid protocol and have done a really good job keeping everybody safe. I don't think anybody has been sick there. Their cleaning is as good as it gets, and there's no urine smell. They've been great in working with me and our budget, and from what I can tell, they provide stellar care. I was really worried about placing our loved one, that it would be a bad experience and she wouldn't be happy. But that has not been the case at all.

Would not recommend

It did not work out for our loved one at Brookdale Central. One of the nurses here was very ugly to her and she pretty much just sat and watched tv all day in her room, they had no activities provided for the residents to participate in. I would not recommend to others looking.

A Good Place for Mom

My loved one is having trouble adjusting to the community. This is due to the isolation of family members. My loved one has made friends at the community. I feel they are taking care of her the best they can.

Not very happy with this place!!

My loved one has recently moved into this community and so far we have no complaints with how things are going for her. The staff are not very qualified and could use some more training on how they handled different situations.
