Mom is happy
Mom, has adjusted very well to Brookdale and has made friends with some of the clients. The staff treat her very well and with respect. We wish the furniture was in better shape(it is shabby) and that there was more room and furniture for the clients to hang out in. The front section of Brookdale is much nicer

Highly recommend Brookdale Dover
The management staff ([name removed], [name removed] nursing coordinator, and others) are very competent and truly care for the residents and the facility. Their commitment is reflected throughout their entire staff. The facility is older and a bit dated. It is more expensive than a few others that we visited, but we were impressed with the smaller size of the facility and the more personalized care.

Would recommend but needs better management communication.
The facility and staff were clean, nice, and accommodating. Still working through final bill and credit 4 months after my father left the facility. The ability to contact management and get a response is terrible.

Thank you Brookdale
Brookdale staff has been very helpful in helping me find an appropriate place for my Mother to receive the care she needs. Taking care of a family member with dementia is a very difficult thing to do. The staff are there for the family as well as the client and in reassuring, you have made the best decision for your family. Having a primary doctor on staff and a podiatrist are a great plus. Safety, medical, nutritional, emotional and behavioral issues along with others are addressed.

Mom's experience @ Brookdale
I can't believe is going to be 2 years since my mother is in Brookdale, every time I visited , she always make comments the staff and nurses are very kind and helpful . I know the language is difficult for her,she understands but she can't talk. But the staff finds the ways to communicate with her. And she is happy with that. Half english and half spanish. Again thank you to everyone in Brookdale for taking care my mom.

They are doing a great job with my loved one. They are doing well with, keeping my loved one engaged and stimulated. They could do better with communication. They don't have visiting hours in the evening, which makes it a bit of a challenge to visit our loved one more often. They should be more accomodating.

Happily Found Rest for hubby
You need to be your best patient advocate for your loved one. Stay on top of daily service to ensure the staff complies with what you believe is to be provided. I give this advice first so that you know every place is different, and it's only as good as you ensure that it is. Very happy with all staff and services.

A Good Choice
Their communication is very good. They call me with any updates I would need to know. They're very protective of their residents and have their best interest and well-being in mind. They also have a good security set-up. The doors lock, and they really watch who is coming and going. They are a little understaffed. I think they need at least one more person in memory care. But I would recommend them to anybody looking for memory care.

I think a full-time RN would raise those 3-4's, the staff and residents treated Mom & Dad like family. Most expressed regrets when they passed. (It depends on the person- Mom and Dad were teachers so they were friendly and caring) I felt RN supervision at Brookdale would eliminate going to the ER as often, due to health safety codes facilities must adhere to. As a family we were please with Brookdale's service. Costs? They all cost " an arm and a leg". They didn't appear any higher than other facilities in the Dover area. They were caring- that's what counts.

Excellent Assisted Living Facility!
My family and I heard good things about this facility via previous reviews so decided to select it. Soooooooo glad that we made such a decision as our mom received top quality service here! The staff (from management, clinical, to maintenance), all provided genuine warm and tender care to our dear mother. From the time she entered the facility to the day she passed away this morning, they never stopped providing her with their diligent & consistent TLC. Whenever any issues or concerns come up, they're very quick to address/resolve them. We're truly grateful to Brookdale Dover as it's rare (unfortunately) to find a facility where the entire staff goes above and beyond to treat both you and your loved ones with love and respect. Thank you, Brookdale Dover!!!

about Brookdale Dover

Brookdale Dover offers Studio. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored Brookdale Dover 9.4 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.
