Excellent staff
High director turnover. The staff that stays on are excellent. They provide good care and know the residents well. They are friendly and caring. This is a difficult population to care for. The facility tends to smell and cleanliness can be marginal. They do have a good custodian on staff now but were without cleaning help for a while. For how much we pay, the cleanliness needs to be improved. They have an excellent nurse, office person and activities director.

We’ve been extremely happy with Brookdale after a bad experience at [removed]. She had a bad UTI they mistook for “bad behavior” and asked her to leave after a long hospital stay. Of course Mom wanted to go home, but it just couldn’t be. Brookdale to the rescue. She loves her room at Brookdale and she loves the staff. The biggest thing is that she feels SAFE and she is. UTI’s are caught early and treated. Every person there engages with the residents. The food is good and they have monthly “themed parties” for family members to come and enjoy meals with their loved ones. They have a resident cat that is adored and visiting dogs.. All rooms are monitored and the residents are free to go anywhere they like in the facility. Residents can be autonomous or receive help as needed for dressing, toilet etc. They have plenty of activities and my only wish would be getting my mom to participate more. We visit often so are very aware. She is Safe and cared for..

Finally found the perfect place for Mom!
My mother had lived in various assisted living facilities and her care seemed to be falling through the cracks. The staff turnover was horrendous and every few months a new group of care givers were learning what my Mom needed. Then I found Brookdale Harbor Bay! Most of the staff have worked there for years…several for 10-15 years. This facility is dedicated to memory care so Mom can wonder and explore the entire facility instead of being locked down in one small area. Mom loves living there and everyone is so kind and caring. The family of residents are indeed treated like family and Brookdale often hosts special lunches and BBQ’s for all of us to gather together. The nursing staff is quick to discuss changes in Mom’s status and the business manager works quickly to resolve any insurance issues. I feel like we are all part of a large team supporting my mother. Despite the residents varied physical and cognitive challenges, the staff is incredible at designing engaging activities.

Excellent home for mom!
My wife and i have been to several places with both her parents, and have had some less than stellar experiences. Now we are going though it all again with my 94 year old mother. We thank our lucky stars we found Harbor Bay. The accommodations are wonderful, clean and bright. They have a nice, cozy tv room, a great comfortable dining room with a view of Gig Harbor and two tv’s, and a cozy “living room” with a tv. The chef is very accommodating and will prepare special meals on request. They have activities every day for those who wish to participate, and participation is encouraged - they know the residents need to get out and move! The staff is very committed and highly competent. The executive director is top notch. You wont find a better place for your loved one.

So far so good
We chose Brookdale Harbor Bay because it seemed like it was going to be the best fit for my moms situation. She was not capable of independent living and needed a memory care facility that focused on just that and that understands and knows how to help individuals with those issues. From what I can tell mom is doing well and she is happy here. I have only been inside the facility a few times, but now that we are both vaccinated I will be able to go visit more often and get a better view of the facility.

Brookdale Harbor Bay: A Satisfied Customer
My mom has lived at Harbor Bay over three years, but she was also a resident for a year in [date removed]. Her condition improved in [date removed], and she was able to go to assisted living for nearly three years before she needed more secure care. Both of the times my family and I placed her at Harbor Bay, we did it with complete trust in the staff. Many of the staff members in [date removed] are still there today. I visit my mom at this facility once a week or more, and I have phone contact with various members of the staff regularly. I told my son that if I ever need this level of care, I want him to consider Harbor Bay for me. We chose Harbor Bay for many reasons. It is smaller than other facilities we toured. The building is bright, the atmosphere is cheerful, yet peaceful, and any foul odors are dealt with within a reasonable amount of time. The food is good and the chef has been on staff at least since my mom first went into care there. The caregivers really seem to enjoy spending time with the residents - beyond just giving the minimum care required. The director and management, the maintenance guy, cleaning staff and nurses also spend time with the residents and get to know them. There are activities that range from gentle balloon tossing, to outings and drives. There are sing-a-longs with guest musicians, crafts, church groups and special events with families and friends. Residents can choose to participate, and caregivers invite everyone to join in. No place is perfect, and I have had to address things with the director or nursing staff when I was unhappy about something. I have found that staying in touch and having a relationship with staff members is essential for good care for my mom. The director, resident care manager, nurses, everyone – makes time to listen to me and understand my complaint. If they overlook or forget something, or miscommunicate, they apologize and either correct the problem, or work with me to find a solution. I don’t recall having any problems with how the staff treat my mom or care for her. I believe she is safe and cared for, probably better than if I cared for her myself.

RUN AWAY FAST
The WORST experience for my entire family...run by clowns [name removed] and his cohort in manipulation, [name removed]. The first time I met [name removed] he said “I love my job because I get to LIE to people all day and get away with it!”.... he was referring to his ability to lie to patients living with Alzheimer’s Dementia because “they will just forget what I say anyway.” Ya... that’s real funny, isn’t it? Neglect, malnutrition and absolutely no activities for the residents... residents are bored and anxious. Dinner consists off a scoop of cottage cheese, pea salad and 4 saltines and water. Billing practices are manipulative. You never know what you will be charged for. They refuse to assist family with questions. The answers are always “I don’t know “ “I wasn’t on shift” ..... ya, well you can read the chart notes, can’t you?? As far as nurses go there are no RNs in this facility.... only LPNs. [Name removed] will fake cry for you.... it’s sickening. Our family has endured tremendous stress, disbelief and heart break because of this circus. Management is unbelievably disrespectful and dishonorable. Spare your beloved. Don’t go anywhere near Brookdale in Gig Harbor.

It is a wonderful experience for my husband. The staff are over and beyond with him and I see he is doing better. He has made a friend that he likes to talk with. The staff are mature a good with the residents. I have not seen any staff turnover and they have worked there for a very long time. I am happy with the community and he is happy there and he loves the nurses.

Depends on the Nurse
I think that it depends on the nurses who are on duty. One nurse we are in love with, but the other one is always short with us when we call, which is frustrating because I was told I could call at any time.

My mother's final days
My mother lived here for 2 months before her death. I spent a lot of time sitting with her in the common areas so I saw a lot of activity. The meals were very good and my mother looked forward to them. The overall treatment of the residents was cheerful, respectful, and gentle. Everyone was very responsive to my questions & concerns regarding my mother and her declining health. I'm very thankful she spent her final two months with these people.
