Pegasus Senior Living, LLC

in a nutshell... the staff mishandled my mother and broke her leg. Sent her to emergency, she was there for two weeks, then sent to a rehab facility. Before she even returned to Brookdale, we received a letter that she was being evicted! Had to find another place for her. THOUSANDS of dollars afterword and... Brookdale still claims that there is an amount owed. HORRIBLE food! NEVER enough staff! Missed bathing's (sometimes three weeks)!! Horrible room cleanings. BROOKHELL!!

Run, do not walk away from this community. Completely lacking in leadership, management that is here lies constantly. Staff is resigning and there is no Executive Director. Under staffing is problematic. [Removed] is rampant. [Removed] is the norm. Stay away.

Stay away from Brookdale Dunwoody! As of March 1 there has been no improvement in the food and yesterday it took 40 minutes for my parent to be served a dinner entree. At dinner they always run out of soup and desert. There is no security being taken to protect residents. Front door is open at night and there is no one at desk or in lobby. Since Christmas many residents have left because of the non caring attitude of management.

My Aunt stayed at Brookdale (she called it Brookhell) for a few months and contracted C-Diff while there, amongst other things. I thought the food looked awful too. Her laptop computer was [Removed] from her Brookdale apartment while she was in the hospital. The place is expensive at $4,500+ per month and looks nice on the surface but it is a breeding ground for illness and it's not safe. My Mom and I even got very sick last fall with a gastrointestinal disorder after visiting her at Brookdale. Sadly, my Aunt passed away a few days ago from the C-Diff. If you care about your elderly parents or family members AVOID this place at all costs!

This place is absolutely not a good fit! Since Jan 1st the new corporate office is just out to fill spots with bodies. They do not care who they hire, they do not even do backgrounds on most of their new hires before hiring. [removed]. The Memory Care coordinator has no education to fit his position let alone any position in the health care industry. [removed]. The night shift sleeps and does not check the residents. I can keep going, but it's obvious this place is truly not what it seems... Do your research!

The RN's were great at Brookdale Mtn. View rehab, but sadly, they weren't the complete package deal. My aunt went in for rehab with a broken hip. She left 17 days later in an ambulance because she refused to take her medicine. She was starving from lack of nutrition and dehydrated (in part from c-dif), and she also left with a bed sore that had been 5 cm long. She is now in a long term acute care facility, but is fearful that she will have to go back there. Her WHOLE family has assured her that she will never, EVER, go back there. Moral of the story? I would advise anyone with a loved one to be sure to research, personally look at and ask questions at several long term facilities, assisted living facilities or rehab facilities. You ALWAYS want the best care for your loved one. BEFORE they move there.

Short staffed; care givers, wait staff and kitchen. Crappy food. Cold food. No comfort food for these old people. Never saw beef stew, chicken and noodles, stuffed peppers, bean soup, etc... On occasion, out of simple supplies like straws, salsa and spaghetti cheese. 30 day notice to move out is ridiculous. Should not apply to this population/these facilties. Enhancements to consider could be in room intercoms, quieter ac, access to water/ice dispenser. I will tell others of my moms awful experience and encourage anyone to do better research and not allow a loved one to be placed at a Brookdale facility. What an eye opener on how our older population are discarded to these facilities. Shoot me first before I ever experience this again. Karma

Buyer beware! Please don't let yourself be fooled that these folks really care about your elder loved one. They are solely about the MONEY. They will literally jump through hoops to sign you up, and get your money, but if there's a problem you're elder loved one is totally on their own. Scary and very costly what my dad went through in the FEW days he was there.

We had a very painful experience here. Very little room for diversity and more concern for appearance than comfort. Looks lovely but not the accepting and cozy environment we wanted for my parent.

My family moved my aunt into the cottages after a tour was given and we felt it was a good place for her with her progressing dimentia. Family was told of the Clairbridge pro game which we read about in the Brookdale.com website. It states they do 6 programs a day and tells about each. This NEVER happens. Residents sit around in the living area or their bedroom and do nothing! It also states that the caregivers are all trained in Clairbridge. The ones we spoke with are not. Caregivers seem tired and often only one on shift when two are required. A dangerous situation. They don't have all have training. A very disappointing reality. I also see where this facility has been turned into the state numerous time. The administrator doesn't seem to be aware of most of the issues. The nurses aren't don't give th care needed for a memory patient. Do your homework before choosing this facility.

We had a relative who needed memory care so we took the tour at Brookdale. They showed us the cottages and they seemed really good. We were told of 2 caregivers to 12 residents. We we shown a calendar of daily activities. They spoke of bbq's in the enclosed courtyard as well as flower planting and so on. We moved our relative in and...it was awful!! Often there is only one staff in the cottage and when they are helping someone everyone else is out of luck. The caregivers are overworked ...they do caregiving which is labor intensive in a memory unit as you have to do showers and moving residents to chairs and various other needs they have as well as laundry and serving and preparing dinner plates. Impossible for them. Many times they are pulling double shifts and working alone. Administrator never calls back. Safety pull cords don't work. They have been turned into the state numerous times I have found in out. PLEASE spend some time there before you move a loved one into this facility!!!!

i feel my dad is not reciving the proper care!!! they over promise and under serve! I want my dd out of there ASAP

I would advise you to look away. This is not what may be introduced on the tour. Nothing happens here that they say, the food is cold, they do not help with your needs and their staff took medications from my Mother. They let her sit in her own urine for hours and I paid extra for bathroom care. Would not recommend!

Memory Care has perpetual foul odor, in part due to the urine soaked upholstery in TV area. The community shower is not clean, feces present, and rooms are marginally maintained. Dining tables have fresh linens, but no flowers like Assissted Care. Only occasional quiz games, karaoke, lunch outings. Constant TV movies. Meds dispensed haphazardly & unprofessionally by contract co. Pros: safe location, easy parking, friendly staff, food average-good, supplements available, total care available, safe locked unit, better choice of care in that area overall. Family must visit every day, take laundry, show concern and speak up.

Get past lobby, take elevator to upper floors and see how filthy the hallway carpets are. If they can't keep the carpets vacuumed just imagine how dirty the apartments are. Housekeeping is a nightmare. My mother has lived there two years and her carpet has never been shampooed. Feces on toilet bowl was there over a week until I cleaned. People are friendly, they just do not do their jobs. Corporate pays lousy and squeezes every penny out of the place. Employee turnover is constant. Food has declined with each new director. Three in two years. What does that tell you? Marketing promises the moon & stars and that is what the prices reflect, but not what the resident receives. Activities are geared toward independent residence, assisted living residents are pretty much ignored.

Dede gave us a tour. My sister and i are looking for a place for our parents. I was very impressed with every single person as well as the community as it is called. I am 57 and would not mind living there myself. Dede was great and it turns out my sister has known her for several years through another business. She said she had always been fair and honest. With that we will be moving our oarents in as soon as they are willing.

Although the place was nice enough and overall had a good feel, they handled a major mistake with my mother's meds very poorly. They basically, on accident, put my Mom into significant withdraws when they miss-ordered and miss-administered her med. Even though they admitted this was a mistake, they would not honor their written policy of a refund for the 2 months she was there. We would have been happy with anything, but they just stonewalled us and we gave up.

This place is a joke, the residents best interest aren't at heart. The director and nursing manager only care about census. Low quality caregivers who talk badly about the residents and treat them poorly. The residents health and safety are last on the list of priorities. It's is dirty and unsanitary. Look elsewhere. Wouldn't recommend this place to a dying rat.

They offered us 3 months free rent in Assisted Living and quoted us $3,000 for rent. After Grandma was there for 3 months they raised the rent by another $1000. They will tell you they onlly have 1 apartment available but if you look around they have several vacant apartments. Staff is slow to respond to needs, food is ok. I would look at competition even though they talk bad about other facilities. I wish we would have done more homework. They also will tell you they have Medicaid available when you run out of money but when you need it they do not have any "approved" apartments availalbe and its hard to find a nice facility that accepts Medicaid without a spend down. We had to move Grandma out to a facility that was not as physcially nice when she spent all her money at Harborcrest after a couple of years, but the care is decent. It's sad becasue She misses her friends.
