Brookdale

Wonderful, intentional, and caring staff!

Brookdale is a comfortable, friendly and welcoming community. Start to finish it has been an amazing experience. Always something to do and someone to talk to! We are very happy with Brookdale, West Hartford and highly recommend them!

This has been as good an experience as I could have hoped. The staff seem to genuinely care for the residents. There aren’t activities on the weekends, but other than that mother has been happy with her stay.

I would definitely recommend Brownscreek to others. No facility is perfect, but they truly care about their residents.

Brookdale is a wonderful home. It is smaller than some and the care is great, the meals home nice and the staff couldn't be better. Just a great happy home for those who need it.

A small and caring community. Mom has made many friends since she's been there. It seems much more intimate than the other places I looked at. When the saleswoman walked me around the building the very first time she greeted every single person by name. I wanted Mom to have that kind of personal experience.

The staff are very friendly and helpful. House keeping is good, but they are currently trying to hire more. The staff always contacts me if there are issues and all of them remember our names. The meals are great.

We are so happy our mom lives here, and she is thrilled, too. She says the menu has something for everyone, and the food is tasty. The staff is delightful, polite, and knows residents' names. They know what you like and makes suggestions.

Brookdale Lisle has been with us every step of the way. They made Mom feel like a member of their family right away. The process of moving her from her home to Brookdale was seamless. The crew was fast and efficient. The residents greeted Mom and made her feel welcome. This was my Mothers' decision and she chose Brookdale Lisle.

My Mom moved to The Colony in January from another facility. Her transformation is profound! They keep her and her room, bedding, and clothes clean and fresh smelling which is a welcome change. The staff is very friendly and helpful to the residents. They go out of their way to ensure that Mom and the other residents are clean and engaged as much as possible for people with memory issues. The executive director is amazing and it shows that elder care is her passion!

Awesome facility wish mom could stay there but she’s been diagnosed with dementia. Great loving and caring staff. Everything about the facility met or exceeded my expectations! Location was very convenient with convenient access to Halifax hospital and doctors office.

My loved one was previously a resident at Brookdale Meridian Lakewood and the experience there was great. Communication with the family was good. I would recommend this facility to others, based on our experience.

Administrative help to get Medicaid. Gentle staff with laundry, housekeeping, meals well prepared by [name removed].

I met with sales dir for a tour and info about Brookdale - First Colony. Great tour, lots of info. Love the facility. Will bring referrals.

I’ve lived here for 4 weeks and absolutely love everything about it !! The staff is very helpful and happy. They all are very accommodating to our needs and treat us all very special. I have a studio room and am amazed how in my room i still have lots of space, even after my queen bed and big dresser , plus a recliner and a queen Anne chair, plus a few other pieces of furniture are all in the room. There are many fun games, water aerobics in the pool, exercise classes and many fun games going on. Plus we have singing performers coming in to entertain us also. It is easy to make friends here. I would strongly suggest anyone to take a tour of this place if looking for Independent or Assisted Living situation.

The way I see it they're are slow to respond to the patient needs high turnover, and they charge for every little thing

It took 3 years for my Mother, to finally come to the conclusion, that it wasn’t safe for her to live alone anymore. My siblings and I,worried constantly about her, after Dad passed. When she finally made the decision to go to an assisted living, she chose Brookdale Goodlettsville. She actually has a life again! She’s happy, has friends, loves her apartment that she was able to decorate, and is finally @ peace. She is not afraid anymore. The staff is precious! I haven’t had any complaints from her about a single person!!! I see them love on her all the time!! They are kind and compassionate. She has activities to choose from every day, and keeps busy. I gave a short review when she first moved in. She’s been there since [date removed], and it’s been great for her overall mental, physical, and emotional health. I do recommend you check them out if the need arises. I love that this facility is one level as well!! Ive never had any issues with communication from the staff!

My husband has been at Brookdale for approximately two months. His care has been excellent. He enjoys joining other residents walking in the hallways, listening to guest musicians and vocalists, working jigsaw puzzles, and playing bingo. He loves the food and sometimes eats extra servings. When I have expressed concerns about medications or missing remotes or clothing, they have been addressed immediately and to my satisfaction. Staff genuinely care about the residents and families.

When our mom was no longer able to live on her own we knew we needed to make a decision. We contacted A Place for Mom and by the afternoon we had several places recommended to us. After doing thorough research we decided Brookdale Brea was the place for Mom. We are so happy with our decision. She is so happy there. Everyone is so nice. It’s not too big so she doesn’t get lost and she has acclimated so well. This was a Great Decision for Mom.
