Not highly recommended
The first 3 weeks were great. Then slowly I would find him in wet clothes and a wet bed. I was changing him nearly 4 times a week.
No activities as promised and he ended up in hospital with a UTI and dehydrated. I was told he was kicking and hitting and using his walker as a weapon. I do not know for sure but he has trouble standing and walking so I doubt he could kick, punch, and hit with a walker at the same time.

Families Beware!!
It was not a very good experience. They can improve with Employee turnover. I would not recommend to others. They were gungho to get my loved one into the facility,and once they were in, it seemed like things changed.

My Tour Experience at Brookdale Wake Forest
We liked Brookdale Wake Forest and it was a good option. Brookdale was a little far away distance wise, but clean, bright, lively place. The other concern was they provide no transportation. My loved one is a dialysis patient and needs to go 3x/week.

This facility was always fairly clean. The staff was very friendly. It didn't have that nursing home feel like so many others do. It was a little pricey, but you get what you pay for.

Our experience with Brookdale
We really like the staff a lot, but there have been a lot of changes and turnover. They have overlooked baths and the medication was a mess for a couple of weeks. They give the meds so late that by the time they get to her hall it it 10 o'clock. She does complain a lot about the food as well. They do not get a lot of meat and she said they seem to be cutting back. We do wish that they had coffee available to the residents. The snacks that they load in the dining room are almost always empty.
The facility itself is very clean and we really like it. It looks like a big house. The activities director is very enthusiastic. They do a lot of activities, we wish that she would participate because she would be a lot happier because they are great. The receptionist [name removed] is extremely helpful and empathetic. Really all of the staff have been great.
Overall we do really like it, there have just been some bumps. I would recommend that people check Brookdale out, the medication management is the only issue we have had.

Tour experience
We had a great tour experience with Brookdale Wake Forest. This location does not have independent living, it is assisted living and memory care. We did not think my dad needed this type of care yet. If he did need it though, this would have been the place we would have chosen.

This is a good place to go. The staff, activities stand out to me to make it a good place.
They could improve on the cleanliness of the resident's room, and laundry. The people there are so nice and friendly.

We found a home
My 95 year old mother moved into Brookdale in Wake Forest NC in February 2018 to be near to me and she found a “home”. From management to maintenance the staff cared for and loved my mom. The facility was clean and my mom was always treated with dignity and grace. My mother died yesterday and my only regret is that we had not moved her to Brookdale earlier.

Loved this place and enjoyed the tour. Residents were engaged with staff. Would have been #1 choice, but cost was a little more than we expected. Will entertain this option again if necessary. Staff was great.

Nice tour
This community was nice and the staff gave me a great tour. I did feel that the apartments were a bit too small and when I toured the memory unit I felt that it was set up more for the advanced stages of the disease. My daughter also felt that the location was just too far out of the way from either of us.

High on Brookdale in Wake Forest
Outstanding experience. The staff is professional, respectful, friendly, and caring. The facility deserves 5 stars for cleanliness and design. We have not had 1 bad experience, frustration, or disappointment. My mother is receiving superior care, which is a great relief for me. She has been made to feel like she is part of a family with residents and staff. I am thankful a place like this one is close and available.

5 stars all the way!!
The staff keeps us informed on how my mother in law is doing. When she has really good days they tell us as well. There are plenty of activities available to her for when she gets more comfortable as well. The meals are good, and the place is kept clean and maintained well. I couldn't ask for better.
