A nice staying

My husband was staying at the facility for a month while I was out of the country. I didn’t worry about him at all, because I knew he had been taking care of all times. Thumbs up staying. Thanks all the staff and professionals, nurses and workers at this facility.

All that glitters is not gold

Your referral was good & after meeting the Company administrator, LVN & new marketing rep we decided on Brookdale Central. With incentives offered and suggestion of taking a bridge loan until home was sold, we transitioned family member in November 2023. Initially there was definite lack of knowledge, disorganization & inexperience by finance officer & staff. Director showed a shared room, but did not prepare the resident who came out with walker yelling his prior bad experience. Room had urine odor & dirty. We were given another room to see and again the resident was unprepared. He was kind, bedridden, on hospice, and waiting to die. The room was filled with his things, clean but inappropriate. Eventually things were settled and for 2 months all went well. Third month our family member died after being moved to hospice care. Staff was helpful however, money owed before death was never received. No calls returned, referred # errors. They did not really care, only wanted money. SAD.

A Quiet caring community

Brookdale has a staff that knows how to comfort their guests and keep them involved in activities that bring them together. Another charming place is the dining room. Service and food is exceptional.

Nice place overall, just needs more activities for the residents.

The staff is friendly and generally helpful. The facility is clean and nice. I think that they do need more activities for the residents to participate in. The food does seem to be improving recently.

[name removed] the sales manager was very helpful to me in trying to get my uncle moved in to Brookdale. She offered to personally help with moving him and make the process smoother. In the end, my uncle opted to stay at his current residence where they provide memory care should he need it in the future. [name removed] understood and canceled the contract without any issues. I really appreciated her for her understanding and kindness!

Welcome to Brookdale

I’m writing to recommend Brookdale as a potential assisted living home for seniors. The staff at Brookdale are very friendly, kind, and helpful to all the residents, all are greeted with a hello and smile. The caregivers are also helpful and attentive to all the current residents, they respond quickly to the residents needs for help, and they are also helpful and friendly. The facility is clean and neat and well taken care of.

Impressive

I went for a tour of the facility to find placement for my mother. Brookdale has excellent amenities, it's clean, safe and the staff is helpful and kind. They go out of their way to provide information and assistance. They have a strong community with many events for the seniors. The court yard had beautiful lighting and plants. Large rooms with hardwood floors. Everything is up to date, very efficient and Senior friendly. I was extremely impressed with the facility.

Walk thru

When I arrived for my appointment I was surprised to see a welcome sign with my name on it, then [name removed] introduced her self and gave us the tour which I thought she was very welcoming and very informative. The facility was well kept and the residents looked very happy. If my ex-mother-in-law changes her mind and if the facility has space I would consider placing her there.

My Story Brookdale Central Whittier

Over the past several months, a lot of changes have been made to better the community. When I first moved here 1 1:2 years ago, there were improvements that needed to be made. At the present time it is a pleasure to have a team of employees that care a lot about the residents that come to live here. We are a family, and that’s what matters.

My mother in law is well taken care of and enjoys her new home.

My mother in law is well taken care of at Brookdale Central Whittier. She has been there about a month, and is enjoying it. She loves the penny bingo, and is starting to make new friends. The only reason I gave the overall experience a 3 is because we had issues with payment using Elder Care financing.

They evaluated my mom said she was to weak/frail to go there. I found a board and care for my mom let them know. They have continually tried billing my mom saying they held a room for her. When I said we aren't paying they r now trying to get to pay for the nurse that evaluated her

Disappointed

The facility is clean and nice. I like the size of it for my brother because has a wheelchair. The patio is beautiful and he enjoys sitting out there. The garden area is absolutely beautiful. I really like that it is a smaller facility and easier to get around. The main problem that we are having right now is that he cannot fit in the restroom in his room with the wheelchair. They are not handicap accessible. Because of that, he has to pay to use the restroom because he cannot walk in by himself and needs help. It is a big issue financially.

Seems like a comfortable nice place to live

Nice and homey feel. Super helpful Staff with helpful advice to help my Mom with her changes in life. The main doors were wide open, letting in fresh air. Great 80's music playing, staff at desk gave a smiling, friendly greeting. Everything smells and looks very clean. Cheerful residents and cheerful staff talking to residents. (This was an easy and casual interaction.) Mailboxes are easily accessible in main area. I could see the big open courtyard when I walked in the entrance. I was given a full tour and a couple of the Staff and I went to a room like my Mom would have. We sat in there and they answered all of my questions and gave me lots of other helpful information. Very upfront. They asked questions about my Mom too. I never felt rushed.
