Brookdale Overland Park 119th

A Place for Mom referred us. We liked the atmosphere - active and friendly residents, homey and a little fancy. We were keen on having balconies and outdoor areas. The staff have been super responsive and diligent in finding ways of meeting [name removed]needs. They are all respectful of residents and their dignity and autonomy. [name removed]in particular has been a critical support for [name removed] and myself. The dining hall services and menu looked attractive but execution of food is just okay according to [name removed]. Most of his meals have been brought to him which may impact quality of what he's getting. I wish he had availed himself of the activities offered which appear to cater to a wide range of interests. I wish the place had better and more accessible recycling access. All in all, I would recommend Brookdale.

What I really like about Brookdale Overland Park community is that its really nice and quite. The people here also are very friendly. I would recommend this community to other families.

There is a tunnel you have to walk through to get to the dining room that is not heated and they won't do anything to put heat in there. All of the activities they have going on are upstairs so you have to deal with walking up the stairs, and if you want to work out then you have to work out in the heat that is up there.

The lunch meal is good but the dinner meal is usually not too appetizing. I realized that the main meal is at noon but the evening meal is very light and she just usually doesn't feel like eating what they're serving so she ends up just getting a sandwich a lot. Or just making her own food in her room.

The apartment our loved one has is absolutely fantastic and the activities have been nothing but great. However and we do understand it could be because of covid but some other things are just not living up to expectations. Our loved one said the meals started out really good and now have decline - those needs improvements, so we do wish we were getting a little more of our money's worth.

Brookdale has been a positive experience. The dining room is closed right now because they don't seem to have enough staff. From looking at the chart, they appear to have a lot of activities going on. The people I've met who work there seem very genuine, and want to make living here as much of a positive experience as they can for the older community.

Every time we come to visit there are residents and staff just every where, nobody is isolated in their rooms so it is a nice busy environment. Everyone we have met with even from the tour are friendly, chatty and super happy. We have not met a staff member or residents who does not feel that way. We would 100% recommend the Brookdale Overland Park community to other families.

I think the art program could be improved and they could do more crafts, right now they just hand residents a crayon and let them color.

The staff is great and they are as helpful as they can be with a large population. Overall I am happy with the community. The staff is really good to work with. I would recommend this community to others.

We chose Brookdale because my grandmother was at a Brookdale owned facility and we really liked it, so we felt it would be a good fit. The apartment sizes are good as well as the value for the money. It is centrally located for family which is nice and close to doctors, shopping, grocery stores, pharmacies, etc. I would highly recommend to others looking.

Everything is super, except the apartments are smaller since it is an older community. The rooms had balconies or patios available. The bedrooms are small. The decor needed to be updated overall. The food was very good on the tour.

I think Brookdale has been a great fit for my mother in law. We chose Brookdale because she wanted a first floor apartment with a fenced in patio and they offered that with a great discount. They had a lot of perks other places we looked into did not have. I would recommend them.

We have had a great experience here for far and they have been awesome to work with, especially when we were first getting in. She was only here 2 months before the lock down, so she has gotten to experience everything she wanted to. My moms only complaint is the food post covid, she says it is just not good and it is cold when it is delivered. They had a lot of activities before covid and she was participating. Overall, I would recommend to others.

Overall this was a good facility, There were some issues with the staff, some were great but others seemed to have an attitude. a few of them that she saw weekly seemed to lack patience with her. I would recommend this facility for lower care need residence.

My Mother lived at Brookdale 119 in Overland Park for 12 years. She was very happy there. She was treated like a member of the family. Everyone knew her by name and never failed to say hello and make her feel at home. The staff is amazing and never failed to give her a helping hand if needed. She was always treated with respect and courtesy. Definitely a wonderful place to have a family member live.

Our girls were worried about us living alone so they took it upon themselves to start looking at several facilities. They saved the best for last to show us Brookdale. We fell in love with the way it looked and when we met our fabulous Sales Director, we fell more in love. Needless to say, we found our perfect apartment and we love living here. The staff, associates and residents are so friendly and helpful. We never feel alone! It has been a long 5 months during the Covid 19 but everyone has kept us safe and we appreciate their hard work to keep us happy and free of the virus. We are beginning to be able to take part in some of the wonderful activities that they offer and soon there will be more. We are so grateful that we have been living here during the virus. We plan to stay here as long as we can!
