Brookdale

The staff was absolutely amazing, especially the first couple of weeks when mom was a bit disoriented. They picked her up at her room for meals so she wouldn't get lost and introduced her to people to play cards or mahjong with. They did that until she was comfortable. She is thriving now. The facility can be a bit confusing since it is big, but the short walks to and from the clubhouse are actually great for the persons mental and physical health. And I have not heard any complaints about the food. It seems to be great, consistently. And this is one of the only places that had washer/dryer in the room.

The staff has been very engaging in asking more and deeper questions with my friend. I feel like that are making a great effort to get to know her better.

Staff are very responsive. Lots of activities and yes we would recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had so far.

The staff is all very caring and they're very good at keeping me informed of the changes in his status. The administrative staff walked me through everything and are always willing to answer questions. The caregivers are patient and very good at handling the transition to assisted living. My dad seems to be very happy there. I only put a four on food because quality and quantity of food is good, but it is still nursing home food. There are a lot of different activities for the seniors, but my dad doesn't really do a lot, and that may be more about him. This is the only facility that he's been to, and I feel like the price was very comparable to others.

My mom has had to move to new community because past community was not able to manage mother care. Brookdale was been great on the transition and has made the process very easy and supportive.

Everyone on the staff was so supportive and kind. From the moment we walked in for our first tour, we felt like it was the perfect place for my dad. The executive director was kind and considerate, communicated well with us, and kept us up to date on things. Their activities director actively worked to make sure my dad was engaged with his surroundings. Although my dad couldn't remember his ADL helper's name, he constantly remarked to my mother about "the nice young man" who helped him shave and get dressed in the morning. We could not have asked for a better final home for my father. Also, Brookdale Creekside was a peaceful environment, where my dad had choices. He could choose to sit in his room, if he wanted, or he could socialize and be "out and about" with other residents. Some of the other facilities we toured seemed to herd everyone together and not give them a choice of what to do. It's one of the reasons we chose Brookdale Creekside. The staff also actively engaged with residents every time we were there, having conversations, leading activities, even down to their head of maintenance. It was a kind and nurturing atmosphere.

Moving Mom to Brookdale was the best decision we have made for her. She receives daily care and has daily activities in the memory care unit. All of the staff are caring and gentle with her. She is happy so we are happy.

A place for mom found BROOKDALE and I had an on-site visit within a couple days. BROOKDALE itself turned out to be the finest retirement facility I've ever seen. I would feel good about my own mother living there, if it became necessary. So I would highly recommend A place for MOM and BROOKDALE

My mom said the food is OK but she needs to remember it is a large amount of food for a large amount of people and not a home-cooked meal for two people. She said the activities director is phenomenal and there is always something going on. I am most impressed that they have a new director overall and she has reached out to me a couple of times to ask how my mom's doing and what they could do better.

Both the staff and residents seem happy. We get "hello's" as we walk thru the building from both. Our loved one feels very secure and comfortable. It is very comforting knowing the staff is looking out for our families best interests.

It is kept super clean. We have activities that include crafts, games, movies, etc. Some inside and some outside depending on the weather. We get housekeeping once a week and activities of daily living as needed.

The staff are friendly and supportive of residents. Room is spacious and cozy. Plenty of activities for everyone!

They are all a 5. No complaints what soever. It's an exceptional place. Would recommend it over and over. My mom absolutely loves it there. So happy I found such a place. The staff are amazing. The facility is very clean. There are 2 dining rooms with many entrees to choose from. They have courtyards and different areas for activities. They have a calendar with different activities. They have a vehicle to take them to stores, restaurants, or country drives. They do their laundry, give them their pills. You can bring your own furniture or they provide it. The staff is very friendly and help them with anything. There is an exercise room, a beauty salon, and a foot doctor comes to the facility.

We are not sure about the activities - our Dad is unable to participate in many things. What we like the most about Brookdale Chandler is the warmth of the community. The staff from the caregivers to the director. The studio apartment with the alcove was the favorite unit we saw among all the properties we visited. #1 is their willingness to stay in contact with my sister and I regarding our father's care, who is a new resident with many needs. We live 1500 miles away.

We like the size of the town and yes we would recommend this community to other families.

I would rate them all a 5. We have been very pleased with Kingsley. The staff, administrative on down, are always friendly and d professional. My mother has done well there, compliments the food and staff a lot. The facility is always clean, quiet and well run whenever we drop by. I notice there are lots of activities available. She has not been able to participate much, but they are available.

I'm not there a lot as I live out of state, but my mom and brother say they are happy and like the place, food, and staff better than the last assisted living place they lived in.

The staff are very friendly and kind. The residents love them. They are knowledgeable about how to work with individuals with a variety of impairments.

Brookdale Oceanside is a nice place. chose this place because of the price and location.

Staff: They have always, that I know of, to help him and communicate with him. They've gone as far as to write notes to communicate with him whether in the facility or an outing. They've gone try to keep an eye on him to make sure nothing is out of the ordinary physically or health wise. They have shopping days mainly once a week and other outings as they come up. As of right now, knowing how he is and the staff is, I'd give them a 10 out of 10. Facilities: The areas we've seen have been clean and well maintained. The food is good for the individuals who live there and for those who visit. I would classify it as average food. Those who eat out a lot may say otherwise. The facility is located by a lake that has a walking trail for those who want to partake in it. That would go for those in wheelchairs too. They have their own mailboxes, access to a barber/beautician by appointment, basic medical staff for minor medical needs, etc. I would give it a 10 also based on other facilities we've seen in various cities in Texas, from Houston to Wichita Falls.
