Review for Brookdale Bay City

I would absolutely, on a scale of 1-5, give them a 10. BROOKDALE OF BAY CITY OUTSHINES EVERY OTHER IN THE ARE AS FAR AS MEMORY CARE AND DEMENTIA!!!!!! The people who work there are all trained to some degree in working with dementia and how to deal with the symptoms that come with it, including anger and escaping. [name removed], who is the one that got us in there and basically saved my mom's life, was a nurse herself. She works directly with everyone in memory care and the hospice team. They all genuinely care about every patient. They go above and beyond. Can't say enough about this team at Brookedale.

Review for Brookdale Bay City

The communication between the staff, patients, families, nurse, and therapists was a bit lacking. They seemed to be short staffed most of the time. My loved one just didn't get the care ( one on one) that they needed. It was not a good fit.

It was very misleading that they had activities for their clients when in fact they did not even have a director. The main goal for me placing my mom was to have more social interaction and options to keep her mind active. It was clear she should have been placed in assisted living and not memory care. The nurse should have recognized that on her assessment. But I guess when their goal was to fill beds and more expensive ones they went that route. Totally disappointed to be so misled. I would not recommend this facility to others.

Peace of MInd

They really go out of their way to help navigate the whole process. There are only men there right now, although they do take men and women. I just don't see a lot of socialization between the residents, and I wish there was more of that. But the staff really go out of their way to try to interact with my loved one's interests. And the facility is very clean and nice.

top notch

Our first impression right away was just how gorgeous the community is, its very inviting and just feels homey. The gal in charge [name removed] has bent over backwards for our family and no matter how small the issue is, she has just ben great. We have not personally eaten the meals ourselves but we can see them being prepared and they smell fantastic. We would recommend this community to others.

Give correct attention to each individual

Brookdale Bay City has been awesome, they have great and wonderful nurses there. They always make sure things are going smoothly, and anytime our loved one pulls her cord for help, there is no delay and they come in a very reasonable time. Whenever we give them feedback, they are right on top of it, and they are very quick to answer any questions we may have. Any feedback we have about this community is positive feedback.

A Nice Place

Brookdale Bay City is a nice little place. The food was good. The room sizes and layout of the community were good, it was easy to get around. The staff was average. The location was a big factor for us.

My wife and I had a tour of Brookdale on [date removed] looking for a place for my Father. We were very impressed with Brookdale for it's neat and clean facility. We met with the staff nurse and other members working at Brookdale, all of whom were very friendly. We were also very impressed with [name removed] as she provided us with many options for finding the right fit for my Dad as well as some financing options. My Dad is willing to tour Brookdale as well and we are looking to set that up very soon. Thank you for all of your help!

Great place for Senior living

Brookdale is a very nice and convient place for the loved one. My father, after having been to a bunch of different homes, really like the atmosphere of Brookdale and the fact that it is a small community. Only tip I would have is to get everything in writing about what the home will and won't do or provide.

Vacation for Mom

We were very stressed out about having our mother stay in a facility like this. The people there are wonderful and do everything to make my mom feel welcomed, and to reassure us that they will take care of her.

Top notch!

We had to place my father in here for respite care and we love it! Such a great and caring place. It's more like a 5 star hotel than an assisted care! Every worker here is top notch! So glad this facility had an opening for him. Best place for your loved one hands down!!

very good

There food is very good. I sit at a table with some others and I hear some complaints every now and then on the food, but I think it is good (far better than what I got in my time in the military). They go above and beyond in terms of accommodating requests, and they bend over backwards to please us. They want to make sure my experience is nothing but the best. I like to work and stay busy, and they have allowed me to work with their mechanic to help on various projects. They really go case by case and find a plan to make each resident as happy as they can be.

Clare Bridge memory care

Our mother has been at Clare Bridge Memory Care facility for a little over a month. The staff is very friendly and attentive to the residents. The facility is very clean and the care is specialized per individual. Activities are provided daily to help residents and all are encouraged to participate. For us having mother in Clare Bridge gives us peace of mind. She is safe and well cared for.

The food is excellent.

My mom one is in Clairbridge, the memory care community. The managers I worked with were very accommodating. They bent over backwards to help us. The food is excellent. I visited three times before my mom moved in.
