Overall a nice community and I would definitely recommend it.

The food is good, not much of a variety. I think the price at all of the facilities is outrageous. I have had some issues with some of my billings, but they were resolved after questioning them. I would, recommend this community to others, but be prepared for the cost. My husband is being well cared for, the people that work there in all capacities couldn't be nicer.

And even our buildings and facilities are designed with memory care in mind, like our courtyard, enclosed for resident safety, and a popular place where residents can watch the birds in our shaded gazebo, garden among the many flower beds and container gardens, or just relax in the shade with a cool drink.

We've been here over 6 months, and overall very pleased with everything. There could be a few more activities for wheel chair bound, tossing balloon or bean bags toss. The cost is relatively high but overall care is great.

Awesome place.

The staff are very attentive. The rooms are very nice and private with views of the courtyard. The food served is good and they give out snacks throughout the day. They have daily activities that stimulate and please. Overall a great place for my dad that gives me comfort in knowing he is taken care of.

Very nice. The staff took excellent care of everyone. The food was also very good

The community management is so great with residents and show compassion to the residents. My family is happy with all the services Brookdale has to offer. The manager [name removed] is a nice man who communicates well with us. He has his team on top of their work. I would recommend Alderwood to anyone asking.

Brookdale really helped my dad to make the transition to memory care life very well! The staff seem very friendly and they have nice outdoor space. I also like how they have different wings so it doesn’t seem to big.

Need improvements and change

Brookdale alderwood needs to step up their service game .A lot has left wanting when it comes to client care . Management specially show some genuine interest and concern for residents. Visiting faculty once in a blue moon doest’t help.

We feel like family now

My mom moved to Brookdale Alderwood about 8 months ago. They have been so wonderful and supportive. It was a tough transition for us and they were always there with kind words of encouragement. My mom is not an easy person to care for. She is fiercely independent and wants to do things for herself even though she knows she can't. Brookdale offers her so many opportunities to help and feel like she has purpose and that has helped make her transition so much better. She loves it here now and all of the staff.

Compassionate staff and modern facilities

My mother began her journey with dementia in 2020 with Brookdale. Despite the challenges COVID presented in memory care facilities nation wide, Brookdale always managed to recruit excellent staff who were able to connect and enrich my mother's daily life. The inner courtyard with flowers and trees is delightful, the hallways, common rooms, and layout modern and welcoming. My mother has been well cared for and I think I can say this facility works hard at making sure she has the best daily quality of life available for her.

Very caring and compassionate staff

The marketing person at Brookdale seemed exceptionally knowledgeable about dementia and shared about his own experience with his mother during our initial visit. He seemed very trustworthy. My mother was well cared for at Brookdale Alderwood. The staff members were exceptionally caring about the family members as well. When I needed emotional support, I was treated with kindness and compassion. I would highly recommend Brookdale Alderwood to families looking for memory care for their loved ones.

tour review

Our family had an in person tour and we did really like the experience, they have a great facility and it is very clean. However we did not really see or meet any staff members and the room size was a little bit if a deal breaker - it was just going to be to small for our loved one

My review of Brookdale

Generally I was happy with this community however, I felt that probably due to staff shortages there was not enough care for someone like my loved one.

The community is not for someone who is a fall risk. If your loved is mobile then I would recommend this community to others.

The staff was very helpful during the move in process for our loved one. I would tell others to check this community out. They were awesome! The community came out and saw us before the move in and answered our questions. They are there for the residents and families.

Review of Brookdale Alderwood - Lynnwood, WA

Mom loves it here! Lots of things to do, outdoor garden to walk in with benches and treasures to find, singing and old movies. Always working to keep them sharp! Nurses always there and available, friendly staff and the best food! Even supportive facilities! Couldn’t be better!

Review of Brookdale Alderwood - Lynnwood, WA

Right from my first visit, I knew this was the place for my husband. Everyone was warm and welcoming. They are family – they laugh with you, they – with you. They celebrate the success. You always feel that they listen and accommodate to make it as comfortable as possible. They make this whole process bearable.

Review of Brookdale Alderwood - Lynnwood, WA

We are so happy that our mom lives at Brookdale. She is safe and fed and well cared for. We visit mom often and are always welcomed by the caregivers. We dine with mom regularly and the food is plentiful and good. The facility is clean and smells good. In summer the outdoor patios are pleasant. But mostly, I love the staff and caregivers.
