Cogir of Brentwood

Everyone at Cogir of Brentwood has been very friendly and helpful. The community smells clean and looks clean. The staff has been wonderful and the staff checks in regularly and makes sure my mom is doing okay. When it comes to the meals, they are delicious but I do wish they were cheaper for family members to eat there. There are a lot of fun activities throughout the day for the residents and the cost is comparable with other places in the area. I highly recommend Cogir of Brentwood for senior living.

We just moved in and everyone is so friendly. The staff is super helpful and the residents are most welcoming. People have been extremely kind. I have an extensive list of food allergies and the servers and cooks are accommodating.

My Dad chose Cogir because of our description of it. Also, he liked looking at the floor plans and the prices. (More information provided in their packet). At the time, distance from us was not a consideration... but Cogir is 1/2 the distance, and now, I'm glad! It is a wonderful facility! The staff are really amazing! They are very friendly and helpful. On Dad's first day there, he was visited by his housekeeper, then the Community Relations Director, then by the CEO (and it was Sunday... his day off!!). It's like a big happy family, and everyone greeted Dad by name!

Thank you Cogir to your kindness to me and my family. You have been so thoughtful in every way. I am going to love it here. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. It was an excellent choice for me.

I have been a happy resident at Cogir for nearly 2 years and have experiences nothing but love and caring from the entire staff. Many activities are offered to help keep us busy and included. I am so glad to be here.

After looking at many places for an assisting living community for my mother and father we found Cogir of Brentwood was a perfect fit. From the start the Community Director has been a friendly, informative person who has earned our trust and has been there to answer our question. The nurse who did my parents assignment was honest and treated my parents as individuals and addressed their concerns. The Executive Director was friendly. The staff has been very friendly. As soon my mom walked through the door the first time she said "this is a cozy, comfortable place."

I came here with trepidation, but I'm having a ball. The crafts are the best.

it's a fun place, my table at meals is especially fun. I love the poker, the bingo, the food and the help.

This is the 4th place I've lived and by far the best. Of course, we'd rather be home, but this is the next best thing. The food and people are good.

I thank God everyday for this apartment I have here. There are a lot of amenities: library, theater, rec room, salon, living room with fire place(s), and a pool.

Things are shaping up in a very good direction. The activities and overall attitude of acceptance and cooperation- willingness to hear our comments and act on them.

Everybody has been great and extremely helpful. Occupants are very nice.

Everything looks great!

My mother was a resident of Cortona Park for 7 years 3 months. She entered Cortona as independent living and enjoyed her beautiful apartment, staff, food, and the friends she made along the way. Things changed after she lived there just about a year when she fell in the bathroom and severely shattered her leg. Upon her return after 3 months in skilled nursing rehabilitation she required max point care giving which moved her her from independent to assisted living. In the 7 years she was in Cortona the facility had excessive staff turnover; 3 executive directors came and went, at least 250 caregivers and kitchen workers, and a half dozen Chefs. In that period the one constant has been the LVN medical director, which I believe has been the driver of constant attrition of caregivers who are underpaid, overextended, poorly trained and mis managed . The sad part is that Cortona has hired some really excellent people along the way, most unfortunately don't stay. After 7 years we had to move my 95 year old mother into skilled nursing because 2 new & inexperienced Cortona caregivers dropped my mother on the floor while attempting to get her into the shower, breaking her good leg and reinjuring the leg she broke 6 years earlier; two broken legs. She will be in bed the reminder of her lifetime because of our experience at Cortona Park. My observations are based on my daily presence in Cortona over the 7 years.

My mother has been living at Cortona Park for around 3 months. It took time to find new doctors and follow thru with appointments. The staff at Cortona Park were and are very understanding and helpful thru the process. Staff has found a balance between encouragement to participate in activities and understanding the transition process of relocating far from er home. I have confidence that my mother will continue to make new friends and participate in more events as time goes on. The caregivers are great. They have a joy about giving assistance and not being forceful. The med techs are wonderful. The professionalism and attention to detail assures safety. It is a big relief to be able to count of professionals to take care of my Mom's medications. The procedures are in place and followed so nothing falls thru the cracks.

Lots of activities! A bistro, swimming pool, and theater!! A certain smell in the lobby. [Name removed], Sales Mgr, was not available, but I got a lot of good info from her associate. Furnishings in need of update.
