Being from out of town, I have had limited experience but the feedback I have heard from other family members is that it seems like our loved one is enjoying his stay there, he is thriving and happy. So far we have only positive things to say.

They had just repainted everything and put in new floors and furniture. We had a problem with a couple of the aids. After we reported our issues, they were able to straighten things out. My sister does not participate in many of the activities, however they are certainly available for the other residents. We also thought Smithfield Woods was worth the price.

I’ve lived at Smithfield Woods for three years and I consider myself blessed that I landed here. I’m a bit younger (mid-60s) than many of my fellow residents and I needed a place to live after I fell and broke my leg. The staff here is excellent, from management, to the CNAs, to maintenance, to the dining room staff. There are lots of different activities and you can join in as many or as few as you want. I chose one of the larger apartments with a living room, bedroom and huge walk-in closet at the end of a hallway, so there’s not really any activity and it’s very quiet. Having this larger private apartment has made it easier to feel more like home. I would strongly recommend Smithfield Woods as a great place to choose if you’re in the market.

Smithfield Woods really made my Mom feel at home on the first day. The Memory Care unit is constantly doing things to keep the residents thinking and active. Would like to see more communication with families via email regarding things happening at the facility. The staff are very caring and attentive to the residents.

The staff truly enjoyed caring for our Dad, who has dementia, while he was in respite. The staff interacted with him, he ate better and became more communicative. It gave us peace of mind to not have to worry about Dad. People with dementia still have value and something to offer the world, our Dad was thankful, polite and kind to the staff, as we all should act.

Dark unit. Very mixed from chair bound, confused, noisy at times to ambulatory more independent. Would not have worked for my mom at this stage of her dementia. No real outdoor area except the large deck

We toured the Brookdale Smithfield. It was a nice community the staff was friendly and gave a good presentation of what their community could offer. We chose a smaller community that was a better fit for my mother.

Tour went very well. We and [removed] were very happy with what we saw. [removed] and her staff were very impressive. [removed]'s view of assisted living changed? dramatically after the tour.

I fell in love when I walked through the community. I said this is the place for my mom. The people are fantastic when meeting them. At this point, it has been a very good experience for my mom. She loves the community. I like how they make good meals, plan enjoyable activities during the day, and I see how much the staff care for the residents. It is definitely always clean too. I appreciate A Place For Mom for helping me, I recommend them to everyone who are in need.

I was not happy with the care there. The staff was nice when I called about my mom. We paid for extra care that we did not get here. We were never able to find the staff. We came and took her out for a visit and they did not realize that she was gone. They did not take care of her personal needs until we brought it to her attention. The food was not what we were informed that. They did offer her some activities at this. They did not give her medication as directed. I would not recommend this community to other families.

I have found that the staff is very friendly. My aunt came here for rehab and to our surprise because she always made us promise not to put her in a nursing home she decided she didn't want to leave. She misses the rehab floor because they were more helpful.

It's closer to my house and has fire proof walls, it's more expensive a month but if someone has difficulty walking I would suggest north bay and if your parent or anyone needs rehab I would recommend them because they have rehab on site so they can get rehab and then go back to their apartment.

Dad gives this place very high marks after visiting it.
