We've been happy overall. I feel like the activities are one of the most important things for us. They do a really good job keeping the residents busy. I like that they try to keep everybody in the main areas where they can keep an eye on them, and my loved one isn't just sitting in her room by herself. The cost seems pretty fair and in line with other places.... Read more
At Brookdale Shawnee, residents benefit from specialized environments, consistent care assignments, and exclusive memory care programming. Here, dementia-experienced team members work with each resident to learn about and meet their evolving needs.
Through the use of gentle reminders and specialized techniques, like physical prompting and cueing, residents are able to thrive here in a safe and supportive space. Rest assured, staff is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to be alerted to an emergency. The community also includes an alert system, secured entrances and exits, and enclosed walking areas to provide additional security. Residents of this community receive access to personalized programming through Brookdale’s two memory care programs: Clare Bridge and Solace. The Clare Bridge program provides six stimulating activities each day to residents with dementia, enabling them to flourish and maintain their skills. Meanwhile, the Solace program caters specifically to those in the late stages of dementia. This program provides an additional layer of care and more time for grooming.

The tour guide was great but the community was not what we were looking for for our loved one.

I'm pretty happy with the community. My loved one is very happy here. The area and rooms are always clean. The residents are always well put together by the staff. You can tell the residents are being well taken care of. Every time I've visited the residents are doing items in the communal areas. The staff keep me up-to-date on my loved one. The communication is amazing! They have music once or twice a week. There is always some activity available for the residents. I think the value is there. My loved one feels relaxed there. The rooms feel more like an apartment, and this still helps with the independence.

The community was extremely friendly and they went out there to take care of my loved one. When I first walked in it just felt right and I wish we would move her in sooner. I would recommend this community to others.

We looked at a few different facilities and I chose this one because it felt more comfortable. I really liked the layout and everyone was friendly. The room sizes here were decent, better than the others we saw. The staff seemed like they really care about their residents and I would recommend to others.

The nursing staff will lie to you about what actually happens at their facility. They say their response time is 5-8 minutes, but my parents have waiting sometimes up to 40 minutes for a staff member to respond. They will also make up services to bill you for and then allege that you authorized these same services. They will put on very nice faces when trying to sell you on their facility but once you're in they will find a way to charge for services that are never or rarely actually done. Run far away!

I think this facility is better for people that drop their loved ones off and aren’t involved with their care. Staff and management are rude and [Removed]. Food is horrible, most of the time the staff can’t even tell you what they are serving. The bathroom toilet and floor are always dirty. Very very disappointed in the quality of care. Mom was very sick for 5 days before they even noticed. It is a huge worry, can’t wait to get her moved. Management is totally incompetent and gets worse from there. There are 3 or 4 staff members that are very good, the others not. Problems have been discussed with the director to no avail, completely ignored. The quality of care you get depends on the nurse on duty. There is one we think the world of, the others not.

My mother was in this community for a month, and she had a horrible experience. I was not satisfied with anything they did for us. This community has major room for improvements. Their staff needs to be more caring, and attentive. They need to provide a better level of care for their residents. We were not pleased with my mothers stay in this community.

The staff were doing the best they could with my dad. The staff had a challenging experience and they still continued with the services he needed. While he was there he did participate in some of the activities. We picked this community because they of their willingness to provide services to my dad and no other community wanted to try or backed out.

Friendly community. Seemed nice, but all memory care. I was looking for something for both of my parents and only one needs memory care, so I choose a different place. If looking for someone that only needs memory care, then it would be great.

Everything has been fine since dad's move to Brookdale Shawnee. The move went very smooth and it has taken some time for dad to transition. The staff are friendly and have been helpful with the move. They offer a variety of activities and my dad has enjoyed participating. The community is well kept throughout. However, down a particular wing in the community there is a strong urine odor. I have visited numerous times and the urine smell is still present.

The Brookdale Shawnee is a well kept community. They offer a variety of activities for the residents to participate in. The community would benefit from better training staff on how to deal with memory care residents. Specifically encouraging hygiene care, and participation in activities, socialization.
