The Brookdale Puyallup South is for strictly Alzheimer's care. It is a nice community that I did research on while looking for other care for my mom. Based on other recommendations it is a very nice and clean community. The caregivers do a good job of taking care of their residents.

I was very happy with the care that was received in this community. The staff was very caring to our special needs. The community is clean and maintained and we are happy. They had a small choice of meals They offered her activities for her to participate. I would recommend this community for good care and to assist with needs of a loved one. I would be happy to come back to this community for the special needs for a loved one to receive good care.

I am not happy with this communty. the price for the care is too much for a small small room. the community is not clean. They do not offer activities that are helpful for the residents. The residents are not offered there own towel when needing. The dining area did not have a knife for her to have her meals taken care of .They have offered activiites for her to participate. They need to offer more activities fir the residents to try and stay active. I suggest other famiilies check out this community to see if this is what they are wanting for a family member for care.

The staff are friendly and the facility is clean and well decorated. Staff take an active interest in residents. The cost for residents is a little extreme. You don't get the value for what you pay. Many things that should be included in the room rental cost extra.

It is nice to see my dad out and about now. The staff are encouraging and helped dad to be more active and get involved with activities. My dad enjoys his meals especially his dessert! I think I caught a bad day but when I visited my dad his room smelled and the toilet was pretty gross. My dad is doing well here. Mechele from A Place For Mom did so much for us, I appreciate her so much.

Beings my husband is there for a 2 week respite care for me to recover from surgery. They were very supportive to both him and myself in getting things all set up. They made him feel at home in his room and every thing.

Acceptable location. Cute main street theme for the main lobby, nice outside garden patio. Rooms okay - no bathing facility in room. Seating areas in the residential area are smaller rooms- library, tv rooms on both sides, and dining area. There was a bad odor in the living area - trash not taken out regularly/often enough

Everybody is just very helpful and they answer any questions I have. The staff always has a smile on. I wish it wasn't as expensive as it is, but nothing you can do about that. They have been great though.

I have kind of mixed feelings about Brookdale Puyallup South. All the staff members are great. And they have some very good activities as well. However, when we were there, it had a very definite urine smell all in the hallways. They said that they were aware of it and taking care of it. Also, while the staff is very friendly, I don't see them actively engaging with the residents as much as I have at other places. All that said, the loved one I have there is very safe and seems to be happy.

We toured this community when we were looking into care options for a loved one. This place looked very nice, although it was one of the more expensive options we looked at. The facility itself was well kept and clean, and the staff we worked with all seemed friendly.
