  • A good affordable option

    We chose Brookdale West Orange because it was the cheapest one out of the 3 places that we looked into and the studio apartment does also have a kitchenette and some of the other ones did not have that. I do wish that in the beginning I understood that there would be a lot of extra add on charges such as medication management, bathing, etc. They only told me what they thought he would need and we budgeted off of that. I think that could have been explained better by the staff during the move in process.

  • Good

    The facility is good. The activities manager is very accommodating. If I have ANY concern, I can bring it to her, and she will address it. I hate to have to bring those non-activities related concerns to her, but she's a huge asset to Brookdale. In trying to get medical updates (effects of medications, etc.), responses are not timely. Currently it's been several weeks and I still don't have a response to my latest question. I don't like that the fact that I have to announce or schedule visits. There are only a few afternoon slots at 3:00 pm, so then the only times that are available are in the 6:30-7:30 pm range, and I'm not happy with that. For the amount of money I'm paying, I guess I expected a little bit more.

  • A Great Place to Age Comfortably

    It has been a great experience so far. My loved one seems to like it. The staff have been good to my loved one and myself during this transition. The community has a homey feel. On the weekends it would be nice to offer more activities for the residents.
