Review for Brookdale Lake Charles

It is not perfect, but has some of the best caregivers who really want to work with senior citizens. But, be prepared because you will not get to sit and soak. Brookdale has a busy schedule from exercise to trips to Bingo. It occurs to me (after a year at Brookdale!) that I have failed to thank A Place for Mom for finding this place for me. It made the transition for me so much easier.

Review for Brookdale Lake Charles

The staff is great. The facility is nice. They have had crawfish boils which my mom really enjoyed. They take them to some restaurants. They do Bingo on certain days. The food they serve could be a little better. My brother and I are always taking her food.

Excellent Care

The staff is all very caring and they're very good at keeping me informed of the changes in his status. The administrative staff walked me through everything and are always willing to answer questions. The caregivers are patient and very good at handling the transition to assisted living. My dad seems to be very happy there. I only put a four on food because quality and quantity of food is good, but it is still nursing home food. There are a lot of different activities for the seniors, but my dad doesn't really do a lot, and that may be more about him. This is the only facility that he's been to, and I feel like the price was very comparable to others.

Review for Brookdale Lake Charles

They have a 30 day respite care that allowed us to move in immediately to a completely furnished room. Nice clean well run facility. Very friendly staff. From the director down, I am able to talk to management for questions or concerns.

Brookdale Lake Charles review

There is always 1 or 2 that are not very friendly. When it comes to the care services sometimes the quality of care will slip through the cracks. For the value for cost it is overpriced. For the price, patients should be treated like kings and queens, not reliable/efficient in care and a few areas-food for one. Management is the key. A change of management has improved the facility's care.

Tour of Brookdale Lake Charles

We toured Brookdale Lake Charles and it was okay. The facility met or exceeded all of our requirements and the location was perfect for us. However, it was an older facility and felt much more "institutional". They were also vague with regard to cost structure and we'd gotten reviews from friends and acquaintances that staffing there had been an issue (in fairness, this has been a factor everywhere). Overall, it just wasn't a good fit for us.

All the residents but one had some degree of dementia. I had no one to interact with. Present accurately the nature of the resident population. I would have known I was not going to remain there.

I Do Not Recommend Brookdale for Your Loved One

I do not recommend the community. They are understaffed and they don't do what they are supposed to. Anything you ask the staff to do, they do not respond to the requests of the family. The meals aren't very good, and there is only one option for the residents. The community provides three meals a day. They provide very poor hygiene, dressing, and bathing assistance to the residents. As far as I know the medication management is okay. They aren't able to keep my loved one dry. They can be rough with the residents when they are assisting with dressing my loved one. I have seen other residents leave the community due to the community's issues.

Friendly, Safe, Secure Community

The only thing that we have noticed is that the monthly rate is not the same each month. We then are waiting on credits from the main office. The communication with the local community to the main office could be improved upon. The staff are great to work with anytime I have questions or concerns about my loved one. Some of the activities the community has included music, happy hour, bingo, field trips, and more for the residents to choose from. They even have a calendar they provide the residents. The apartment, housekeeping, utilities, laundry, transportation, and changing of linens is included in the monthly rate. It is like a true apartment, the resident is able to have friends stay and spend the night with the resident.

Short handed - Stay on top of the staff

I'm not happy with the care. I feel like they're short handed. They don't give you the coverage that you need when you need it. There's not a lot of one-on-one hands-on care. I feel like the staff do what they can. Instead of working on internal solutions with me, administration told me right off the bat to get a sitter for my loved one. They were fair in that they discounted the care cost. But they're just shorthanded. The facility itself is nice as far as looks and cleanliness. It seems like it would be decent place if your loved one has lower care needs.

Highly recommend

We chose Brookdale Lake Charles because they jumped on things and got everything done pretty quick. I am glad we went with them, they were the first ones back up and running after the storm. They have been great with communication, we do email back and forth frequently and they also do zoom calls. It think it is a great place all around and we are thoroughly satisfied with everything we are getting from them.

Brookdale Lake Charles

My mother moved into Brookdale, and overall, it has been a worthwhile experience. While the nighttime people aren’t quite as attentive as I’d like them to be, the daytime staff are very good about keeping the residents involved and active. They have lots of activities available to keep the residents stimulates such as sing-alongs, walk about activities, puzzles, and games. The community is also clean. They are doing some renovations now like painting and hanging new light fixtures, but overall, they do maintain a clean place, and I feel the renovations speak to their concerns of keeping the community safe and well maintained. I’d definitely recommend Brookdale to others.
