My mother in law has been happy at Brookdale. They have lots of activities, something for everyone. She is getting her meals and meds on time, and the staff seem to really care. The center courtyard is lovely.

Brookdale Santa Fe
The facility is just a little dated, but they have a new dining hall that is beautiful. The quality of care is very good, but they are a little bit understaffed. They all tried very hard to make us feel welcome. They have been very good in answering questions about billing as we close our accounts. Our family would recommend Brookdale Santa Fe as an assisted living facility.

overall a very nice and welcoming community
There are more expensive retirement / assisted living places in our area but the residents are not as happy from what I understand. So far, based on the experience we have had so far with Brookdale Santa Fe we would recommend this community to other families.

Tour experience
Brookdale Santa Fe had some construction going on during our tour and so we couldn't tour the dining area, but the staff rep was very engaging and welcoming, gave us a great tour otherwise. Information was generously given, features highlighted (library, gym, salon, etc.), financial information covered clearly and complimentary delicious and healthful meals. We left feeling very positive about the whole experience.

Welcoming Space
It's a great place for a loved one. We picked this community, because of the central location, price wise it was the middle of three and something my loved one could afford. My loved one chooses to participate in bingo and movies although I am aware of shopping and other trips offered.

Brookdale was awesome - the staff members were kind, understanding, professional, accommodating and fair. The facility is very clean and great quality of care. We couldn't be in better hands while my mom was in hospice...she was only there 5 days. It was a good experience

What really stood out to us about this facility is that it's a small community. The staff got to know my mom very quickly. It's a very clean facility. They have activities and encourage the residents to participate. I would recommend them to family and friends.

Tour experience
The staff that we interacted with were all very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere here had more of a dark and older feel to it. When you walk in the facility it is smaller and quickly led to hallways. My loved one likes bright, open and airy - so this was just not going to be the right fit for us.

I just want to say, thank you for having [name removed] in the assisted living-dining room. [name removed] is always so organized and keeps track of dietary needs. She seems to be very efficient in managing the dining room. She does it all with a smile on her face. We are glad, she is there to care for our mom.

Don't go here
My loved one was here for 14 days. They did not care for my loved one and would not cover her when she was cold and now she is gone. I feel like they should have not accepted my loved one if they could not take care of her. We paid for the highest level of care and my loved one did not get that from this community. The aids were not very friendly when they did finally come to help my loved one. it is just tough to get good help these days. Personally I would not recommend this community.

Dad is happy
They seem to be real personable with my dad at this community. They know how to communicate with him very well, he responds to them. The staff is very nice and exceptional. He loves the food and having 3 meals a day. He gets involved with the daily activities like the movies and the field trips, they even have a dance party he likes to go to. It is clean in here and they clean his room 1x a week. It has a beautiful courtyard area. I would recommend this community.

Brookdale Santa Fe, a wonderful place for our 96 year old Mother
My 96 year old Mother, who moved from her owned condo in Texas, has been a happy assisted living resident at Brookdale Santa Fe since September, 2014. The attentive staff, which dresses her in the AM and readies her for bed in the PM, treats her very respectfully, including helping her apply make-up and with her hair, bathing, bathroom assistance, etc. (she is wheel chair bound). [Name removed], Housekeeping Director, sees to it that Mom's apartment is well maintained and clean. My Family (and especially Mom) enjoy the well-prepared meals and service (under the expert guidance of [name removed], the dining services manager). [Name removed] even prepared a sumptuous high tea, including the use of antique tea cups and special decorations for Mom and her friends one afternoon. Under the direction of Executive Director [name removed], RN and Assisted Living Director [name removed], RN, the Brookdale facility has thrived. Since [name removed] took over the job as Executive Director, many positive changes have been made, including the addition, in the spring of 2017, of [name removed], RN. Coincidentally, one of our friend's Mother was an assisted living resident at Brookdale Santa Fe for over 15 years and our Mom lives in the same apartment as she did. We are a hands on family and since we are at the facility several times a week, we have first hand experience with the level of service at Brookdale Santa Fe and are pleased with our decision to relocate Mom to Brookdale and to Santa Fe.

This place is very depressing
I toured here when looking for a place for my mom and it was a lot more depressing, in our minds. The halls were covered, kind of like a hotel, and the rooms weren’t that nice. There was also a smell. It was overall a bit darker and dingier. The price was cheaper which makes sense. They do have a very pretty garden, though. The woman that showed us around was really nice and was able to answer questions. They sent us home with a pie, but it wasn’t great.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the New Mexico regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about New Mexico regulations for Assisted Living.

A Place for Mom has scored Brookdale Santa Fe 9.7 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.
