Brookdale Corpus Christi

I give them top marks across the board. I could never be more grateful for a community like them. They were very, very compassionate. They made you feel like family, and they treated my loved one like family. I loved every one of them. The girls went over and above to care for my loved one. She needed her food to be pureed, and they somehow shaped it to look like what the original food was. Pureed carrots were shaped like a carrot, pureed porkchops were shaped like a porkchop, etc. I just can't say enough good things about Brookdale and the hospice care from Nurses on Wheels. I couldn't have asked for better care for my loved one.

The staff is outstanding and goes above and beyond to help everyone. They are updating the community on the grounds and replacing the carpet. The community is neat and clean, and the staff is very friendly. I would recommend this community to others and they are also pet friendly.

Very relaxed and cozy.

WONDERFUL TOUR, VERY HELPFUL

Recent updates to the apartments make them comparable to many of the more expensive communities. The common areas are clean and attractive with a very comfortable, home-like atmosphere. I was overwhelmed by the kindness and caring expressed by the staff I met with. Brookdale definitely made it to the top of my list of potential places for my dad.

EARLY STAGES OF DEMENTIA: My husband and I had to make the heavy decision to move my father somewhere he could be cared for, with dignity. We finally realized our own personal care giving was becoming more than we could handle. So, we interviewed, interviewed, interviewed. Then we met [name removed], the Sales & Marketing Director at Brookdale - Senior Living Solutions. What a breath of fresh air! No smoke & mirrors. She then introduced us to [name removed], the Executive Director at Brookdale. Their guidance and literally educating us made our decisions easier in choosing the correct care program we needed for dad. Read ALL the material you want to - but, meet these two dynamite young women and we promise, they will take the time to help you access your loved one's life and needs and help take the pressure off your shoulders. The first day we took my dad to the facility, the ENTIRE staff went out of their way to make my dad feel welcomed, respected and relaxed. My husband and I know we did the right thing and this caring staff took the time to educate us. We are so thankful!

This is a great facility! The staff are just wonderful with the care of my mother. The food is also excellent, as she has even gained a few pounds in her stay here. She is also having a very nice time socializing with residents, as she has made friends and has had a romantic encounter. Overall, this is a wonderful place!

I toured this community and the staff was nice and very professional and caring. The variety of the menu was nice and appealing. They offer a nice menu variety. The activities would have been offered for the residents who wanted to participate. We would recommend that families tour this community to see if this is what they want for a loved one for the value and care

My loved one is still adjusting to the changes, she misses the other place she was at before. The staff at this Brookdale are very friendly they have done what they can to make her feel comfortable. It has been a good experience so far.

Brookdale was nice but the rooms seemed really small. They had an oven and little kitchenette that took up a lot of the living space, and made the rooms feel smaller than the other community we were looking at.[Removed] was really nice to work with. But overall this was a good bit more than the place we chose. Very nice though, and a pretty equal option depending on what your needs are.

Wonderful place. The staff is great. I highly recommend this facility.

This place is great!!

My father has passed but they were very accommodating. They gave me a ton of knowledge that I didn't know about such as services he was eligible for. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and I like how clean the community is. I can definitely recommend this facility to anyone looking!

I was helping my friend find nursing home for her mother. Service was helpful. Thank you for the information provided.

I absolutely loved the place. They didn't sit and help feed him, that's the only thing that I would have liked more, but they just didn't have the staff. Other than that, the rooms were nice, and the people were nice, the food was good. I did feel like I got my money's worth here. I loved it! I will say that not all of the Brookdale communities are created equal. We tried to move to another Brookdale facility, and that one gave us nothing but trouble. But we loved it here at Homewood.

This one was nice, and there weren't any scooters. The director was most helpful, as the person who was scheduled to help us got tied up. I like the fact that they have pendants that tract the residents. Carriage also had this. The other two had the pull cords in bedrooms and baths. This one also had patios which is a big plus for us. They also have assisted living sharing the common areas.

The nursing staff did a great job caring for my dad, the nurse was very attentive when he became sick. The first time we came to Homewood Residence the place sold itself, we met Angie who was competent and did an extremely good job of explaining everything. My parents are adapting very well, which is good. Mom is an extremely picky eater and she really likes the food, she is even gaining weight. She has been really impressed with the church services and activities Homewood Residence offers and has met a number of other ladies there. The only negative, if there is one, would be the size of the apartment, if it was a few feet longer and wider they could have fit some more furniture.

We thought this place would be the answer to our mother's needs, but what was presented to us upon touring and discussing services, we were sorely disappointed in the level of care Mother received here. We had to move her back home after only one month here.
