Brookdale

The staff members at Brookdale were so kind to my mom. She had lived in a senior community for 18 years and was doing well until a medical emergency in May, 2018. Suddenly she couldn't function without help. She became a 2 person assist, and required more help than was available by the care givers at her residence. My family and I visited Brookdale, and immediately knew this was the place for the best care for my mom. We weren't wrong, she received the wonderful care from the entire staff. They were so patient and understanding. They all knew her by name, and made her feel safe and cared for. I would recommend Brookdale to anyone looking for a caring, giving residence for their loved one. Brookdale Memory Care was truly an amazing family to my mom, sisters, and myself. Thank you so much, and continue your great work.

Mom is doing real well at Brookdale. I was worried that she might decline since she came from an Independendent Living Facility and moved across the country. She has done very well and flourished. The staff has been wonderful and keeps her involved. She has made friends and we are very happy with our choice of Brookdale!

Finding a home for my mom was really hard due to the lack of AL facilities in our geographical area that welcome Alzheimer’s residents. I needed her to be within a one hour drive from both my home and her old home without being near Nashville traffic. I believe I made the right decision on my mother’s behalf. Brookdale Columbia met all of my check marks and “felt” good during all my visits. I love the staff and all the activities they offer to keep my mother moving and her mind engaged. The facility has a great circular footprint the wraps around a pretty green space that residents can safely enjoy. During the summer, some of the residents grew flowers and had their own container gardens. I like that mom can get fresh air anytime and look at the birds and flowers without the worry of her wandering away. The rooms are spacious and feel like little apartments instead of hospital rooms. It’s very clean, the food is good, the atmosphere is a good, the staff interacts with her frequently and often makes her laugh. My mother likes to show off her decorated “apartment” to visitors and then give them a Little Debbie snack from the stash in her mini kitchen. She has settled in well and now calls it home. This was no small task and I credit the wonderful staff for helping her make the disorienting transition. Mom had to transition from living on a farm in a rural area to living in an apartment in the city. Overall I am at peace with my decision knowing my mom is finally safe, eats good food regularly, takes her meds when she’s supposed to, and is offered daily exercises and important social interactions. Some residents have small dogs/cats so mom gets to pet them and that also lifts her spirits. She is happy which is the ultimate reward after an exhausting search. I love Brookdale Columbia and all the caring staff!! I’m already thinking about living here myself! ??

Brookdale is facility that has very friendly staff and welcome me at every visit. I think it is very clean and accomplishes all the service needed for my dad. We have had a few glitches that were addressed immediately and in a very accommodating way. My father has made friends that have made the transition much easier, and after a hesitant move he has adjusted wonderfully. He is unable to participate in activities because of his vision but they seem to offer plenty of options. He likes the food although his diet is sugar free he says the food is fine and choices are available and controlled portions. He has options to snack in his room but doesn’t usually want too much. He had a hospital stay and the staff even checked on his progress at the hospital, which the nurses said was very unusual for a facility. We believe that Brookdale was the perfect choice for him and thus me also. I have no complaints.

I am extremely happy with Brookdale, Madison West. The staff is warm, caring and friendly. Mom loves her apartment - and so do I. I can honestly say that I am sleeping better because my mom is doing better. She is happier - and much healthier at Brookdale. I know that she can age in place there. I have to say - also that although my mom has Alzheimer's she is really quite connected to the world. I'm telling you this because mom would not have transitioned well into a 'single large room' - CBRF. Mom has a one bedroom apartment - which suits her wonderfully. The staff at Brookdale West in Madison helped mom and I make the choice of an apartment - but also helped me understand the finances and the level of care mom would do best with. Adjustments have been made as needed. Really - if you love your mom or dad - you cannot do better than Brookdale Madison West.

Brookdale Brighton was exceptional in services and commitment by the staff. The best part of Brookdale Brighton was the in facility Balanced Home Care caregivers. Exemplary in exceeding my mother-in-laws needs and were always available to communicate and interact with family.

My mother in-law is a resident and my husband and I could not be any happier with the level of care she is given. The staff is exceptional. My mother in-law was a shy lonely lady and she has become more outgoing and friendly. The director and his staff have made our family very safe and secure with our mothers care. We enjoy aactivities for the residents and church services. My mother in-law is enjoying a muchly enriched life style.

My mom and dad moved into Brookdale SleepyHollow about 10 months ago and it has been a very positive experience for the most part. They moved here from another facility in town that was supposed to be very upscale and fancy but turned out to be really horrible. Sleepy Hollow is a breath of fresh air compared to the other place they lived for 6 months. The staff is all very pleasant and always help when they are asked. The food is good and the variety seems to be good as well. Their room is spacious and comfortable. They seem to have a wide variety of activities as well which residents can choose to participate in our not. Phone calls and inquiries are always returned in a timely manner. Overall, we are pleased with our families decision to have my parents live at Brookdale SleepyHollow.

As an RN myself, I was overjoyed with the superb care my mother received. The staffs kindness and compassion was outstanding not only towards my mother but our entire family. The smaller setting is an asset and having skilled staff educated in dementia care was clearly obvious unlike the previous facility my mother was in.

We toured about a month ago with [Name removed]. He was very helpful and answered all our questions. He Invited us for lunch which was very good. The staff was very friendly too. We are definitely going to consider Brookdale at Altamonte Springs,

I am a current resident with one year in the books. There is no other place in the Kettering area that can compare to the quality of services in the personalized living area of the facility. Before I came here, I researched 5 other facilities in the area and chose Brookdale because they offered more service for the money than any of the others. I am 86 years old and very happy at Brookdale. I am on a power chair and find it does not limit my mobility to move about the facility or go to appointments and shopping with Brookdale transportation services. Very good food that is well prepared and served on linens!! My last years will be good ones at Brookdale

The Brookdale Lake Highlands memory care unit is awesome! The entire staff takes personal interest and gives loving care to every resident. My mom is quite happy and I am very grateful to her Guardian Angels and all the support they give me. The facilities are nice also. I would highly recommend this amazing team and property.

Beautiful remodel. Toured with my Mom. She liked the small feel. Very homelike. Only 50 apartments so every one knows each other. Staff seemed very happy. Residents were laughing and even introduced themselves to us. Mom definitely will be moving here in the not too distant future.

Brookdale is first class all the way. Wonderful facility and a loving, caring staff. They took such great care of our loved one. The relationships we established with everyone will never be forgotten.

Both my Mom and Aunt live in their separate apartments at Brookdale. For two women that have never lived on their own for their entire lives, they are having a wonderful experience at Brookdale as they get the independence they need while the wonderful staff takes care of their every needs. They both can't say enough about how happy they are. It is worth every penny for them and our whole family. Thanks Brookdale for keeping such good care of our Mom's!

This was a very hard decision to make, but so glad we did. Mom is 94 and was living on her own, her memory was getting worse and she was forgetting even the most basic things like eating, paying bills, cleaning etc. If we tried to help she would refuse, so for her own safety my sister and I decided to move her into Memory Care at Brookdale Broken Arrow. After some time to get used to her new life she is now doing much better. She gets her 3 meals a day prepared for her, help with dressing and bathing and fun activities to entertain and keep her happy. So now we can be certain that she is safe and well cared for by all the staff. Thank you everyone at Brookdale Broken Arrow.

My wonderful mother has been with Brookdale Assisted Living for almost 2 years. I am very pleased. They have caught every illness that needed the ER and Hospital Stay. The staff saved her live when she choked on food. If they had not acted so quickly she would have died. It was in the dining room and she had already stopped breathing. They were able to get the obstructed food out of her airway and get her breathing again. A trip to the ER, but I owe Brookdale employees her life. The are friendly to us. They work hard. I owe them. I am pleased.

My uncle went to Brookdale Mansfield in April of 2015 and is still there getting excellent care. Sometimes when I am there during lunch I have a meal with him and his friends. He gets treated like a celebrity by both the staff and his co-residents. The family considered other places but decided on Brookdale. We are very happy for that decision. Additionally I want to comment on my confidence in the Executive Director [name removed]. On the occasions I have needed to speak to her she always makes herself available.

I toured this facility while looking for a place for my loved one. I really liked the sales manager here and he made us feel very welcomed. They are not a memory care unit, but it was really nice. All of the residents seemed happy and the staff catered to their clientele. The other thing I liked is how they planned worship services in the lobby. I would recommend this facility to other families.

I toured this community and it was nice it is an older building. It was very homey and welcoming. Everyplace has their strengths and weaknesses. This was a nice property. We were very intrigued. It just wasn't a good fit. I would tell families tour many places before making a decision.
