Overall a great community

[name removed] - The Director, [name removed]- Sales and [name removed] RN - Head Care Support are all AWESOME!! The RN [name removed] is amazing with Mom. The thing that stands out the most is the turnover of assistants , but they are all very caring. Mom says the food on most days is good. She says they overcook the vegetables and some days no flavor, but we understand that could be due to needing to meet the needs of the folks. As for cleanliness- the place was starting to smell but they got all new flooring and that seemed to go away. They maintain the property very well. They just got new lighting so that's great. Everyone there seems to genuinely care and staff is pleasant.

Could have worked, but.....

While the staff was very helpful and I believe the facility a good fit, when we decided not to press forward the person in charge stated we would get a refund. It took about 6 months and constant badgering on my part for us to finally be reimbursed.

Not so pleasant.

No specifics. It's been [time frame removed] since my mother passed and I have decided to try to forget my problems with homes and caretakers. Been fairly successful so don't want to go into reverse.

friendly staff was the high point of our experience at Brookdale FWB

What services are considered included and which are provided for an extra charge would be helpful to know up front.

Brookdale FWB Fl

My sister is well cared for. Staff are friendly and easy to talk to. She says they take good care of her and that she gets plenty to eat. She has made friends with other ladies who are residents. Staff spent extra time with when she arrived to help her adjust. She gets in house PT and they report on her progress. They keep encouraging her.

Brookdale

Whenever there is any issue at all, all staff members do their absolute best to make things right. Everyone is caring and compassionate. Mom feels comfortable with the staff, and is starting to feel more comfortable with the situation.

My Tour Experience at Brookdale Fort Walton Beach

Brookdale Ft Walton Beach was ok, not a good option for my in-laws. Not many activities and an even smaller facility. When I looked at a year ago, it needed updating. I don't know if they've done it by now or not.

Friendly Staff

We picked this community, because it was close to my house, I liked that it's secure-locked doors, and it was smaller. There are some things that they stated that they would provide, but they couldn't do those things due to being short staffed. They care about the residents, and they do the best that they can.

Tour of Brookdale

We had a great tour experience with Brookdale, the facility looked awesome. They offered assisted living and memory care which looking back I wish I would have gone with someplace that just offered memory care. Unfortunately this facility was twice the price of the one that we ended up choosing which is why we did not go with them.

Mom lived here for three years

Brookdale cared for my mom for 3 years, very compassionate and caring, I couldn’t think of a better place for my mom. The level of care is what one would expect for their loved ones and not only did they take care of her, they made sure I was always informed about her health and always consulted me on her care.

I Would Use Them Again

It was pretty difficult because of the pandemic and Covid. Access was very limited. Somebody who might be considering Brookdale Fort Walton Beach in the future hopefully won't have to deal with the same things I had to deal with regarding visitation. You had to call and make an appointment, so you had to plan around their ability to provide you access, which was very limited. They had designated meeting areas, and you had to stay 6 feet apart. So they were trying to meet the CDC guidelines, but it was still very awkward considering this was your family member. It was relatively clean, just okay, not exceptional. I felt the same way about the staff, just okay, not exceptional. But my loved one has had a huge positive upswing in functioning having been there in a stable environment with three meals a day provided. She needed that regimentation and people watching over her and taking care of her. She fell a few times while she was there and had immediate access to support, which was important.

For Memory Care Residents Only

I would tell others it depends on the potential resident's health conditions. The population is 90/10 memory care residents vs. non-memory care. The staff expect non-memory care residents to enjoy their time there since most of the residents are memory care. The food wasn't good and cut up very small, similar to feeding a child. The staff would treat my loved one like a memory care resident, even though they weren't. I've brought my concerns up to the Supervisor of the Directors for them to know.

Good experience with Brookdale

It is hard right now because we are not allowed inside the facility or in her room. I do understand why and I believe she is in a safe environment, but it can be difficult. With the food, I think they need to provide options and more variety. I do like that they have a 24 hour nursing staff at the facility, it is a big plus and is one of the main reasons we chose them over others we looked into.

Good job

We chose Brookdale Fort Walton Beach because it was close to our house and when you walked in it wasn't depressing. She is in a studio and it is plenty of room for her needs. The staff members and care here has been great. The only issue we have had is the price has increased quite a bit since she has moved in here. Overall, I would recommend if you can afford it, it is expensive for what you get.
