  • Great initial experience. A few minor kinks to iron out.

    Everything has been really good. There have been just a few minor things that have been annoying. Maintenance has been a little slow to take care of some things from move-in. The housekeeping staff made my mother-in-law cry, which I'm going to have a meeting with the property manager soon to discuss. After an injury, we were able to hire Brookdale staff to come help with the dog. But they send somebody different every time, and they're always in a rush. Which is disappointing when we're paying $20 for 15 minutes of service. One of them was rough when reaching for the dog the other day. The service just seems a little impersonal for something that's not cheap. I will say on the plus side, my mother-in-law loves all the activities. There's tons to choose from. The sales rep who helped us was awesome. My mother-in-law really loves the food. The location is phenomenal. The courtyards are great for her to walk in. Everybody that we talk to that lives there loves it there. We haven't heard one complaint from any of the residents. All the guests and residents are really friendly. She did have a fall recently and pushed her medical necklace, but nobody came. Since then they've told us that her button is working properly, so I don't know if that was user error or what. But overall the living experience has been great. She absolutely loves the people and the food. And she's very happy there.

  • Tour of Brookdale

    We toured Brookdale West and it seemed to be an older building that was a little more run down than some others that we saw. We decided against this facility because everything she needed to get to was in a separate building and we wanted to keep it simple for her.

  • Can't Stay, Now Apartment Hunting

    The food is nasty. I would say don't move here. It is a pretty community. It's not worth my your time or value. There is no help to help fix the air conditioning. The maintenance team is very poor. I've been trying to get enrolled in additional services, and the person that runs it hasn't done anything.
