Review for Brookdale Cedar Springs

I love the area and it's close to things like shopping and restaurants. The staff is ok. They just changed management so I haven't gotten a chance to meet her yet. The cooks and cleaning staff are always nice and helpful.

Families should look elsewhere

Families need to go elsewhere. Brookdale is spending money on making the place esthetically pleasing to draw people in but not fixing the actual problems. The old manager, [name removed], left after I moved out. Hopefully the new manager will get the budget under control and can fix the problems, but I doubt it at this point. Brookdale needs too much, and there is no money.

Friendly staff

Food is average- but older people might like it better than I do. I like "younger/fresher/lighter" food I think my apartment is large for a one bedroom. Studios are small and would drive me insane. Amenities only ok.

Hoping for improvements

The staff are nice but they quit a lot. Very little activities for the tenets, food portions have decreased while the rent continues to increase, and has promised internet in every tenants room and still there is just hot spots shotty at best. Value for the buck is not here and make false promises

My Tour Experience at Brookdale Cedar Springs

Cedar springs would have been our pick if we were looking in Decatur. Great place during our tour for our loved one! Older, but nice people and lots of happiness there.

Review for Brookdale Cedar Springs

The people are so outgoing. They are always checking on you. The place is clean and the lawns are so neat, and they have ducks in the pond. The staff is very good. The food is good. They have activities, such as card games, and crafts. They put out a sheet once per month with a list of activities. They also have a beauty shop. Overall, everything is so complete.

My experience with Brookdale

The light housekeeping that is provided once a week, that person to me doesn't always do a very good job. The bus trips where they take residents shopping, you are only allowed one hour in the stores before you have to be back to the bus, I do wish that they would give them a little bit more time because that does not seem sufficient. The food is not bad, but the way it is served could be better. The facility itself is very nice and I really like the staff that work here as well.

Great Place

This is an excellent facility and my loved one is really happy here and I am happy for her. The staff are great and all of my interactions have been wonderful. They are very accommodating and listen to all of your concerns or any needs. The tour was great and they showed me everything that I needed and answered any questions that I had in regards to the community. They update me on my loved one and keep my informed and they are very patient.

A good place to live

I really like the cleanliness of the community and anytime I need assistance for something there is always a staff member available. They could work to improve on the quality of the meals - sometimes they are just not very good at all.

Highly recommended

We chose Brookdale Cedar Springs because she was able to get a bedroom and a half with a full kitchen, walk out patio, and good size living room for a great price, so value for the money is off of the chart. They were more friendly and accommodating and let us come in to visit before deciding. I would absolutely recommend to others who are looking.

I would recommend

We chose Brookdale Cedar Springs because my dad liked it the most because they had a pond so he could fish whenever he wanted. The apartment sizes were adequate for what he needed. They did send newsletters out to communicate with everyone about covid updates. The location of the facility is in a good spot and I would recommend to others looking.
