A great place for Mom.
I would definitely recommend it to others. Mom isn't an easy one to please and she even talks highly of Brookdale Lakes. I think it's a great place! Mom may be getting to the point she won't be able to do assisted living in the not too distant future, but they treat her very well and it's a pretty homey place.

Brookdale Lake Tavares
[name removed] fell [date removed] while sweeping, breaking his right femur. He should have asked for help so that is on him. He was assessed and returned to Brookdale as a 2 person assist after a stay at Edgewater Rehab. After his return, the money I put in his wallet for the beauty salon disappeared. He had 3 twenties and 5 ones and was left with 5 ones. We reported to the admin. He feels the need for a bit of cash, although there is nothing he needs nor anywhere to spend it. The $[removed]was replaced by $[removed] in smaller bills. Completely Gone the next day. They had transferred employees from the memory care facility and suddenly things disappeared from a good number of rooms. The admin said he had no way of finding out but maybe I should put in a camera. I did. On [date removed] I gave the 30 day notice that I would be moving him. On [date removed], a single person came in to take him to lunch. Mind you, he was only able to stand and pivot. She used the correct walker to get him changed and then put it in the closet and brought out the one that he was too unstable to use. She did get him upright but turns away to fetch the wheelchair and he went down, breaking the same femur, a couple inches lower. We come from a place where attorneys can not advertise and I admit to talking smack about them and all the folks sitting around hoping for a 3 million dollar payday. Anyway, I did call Morgan and Morgan. They told me the difficulties in suing a facility and the papers requiring arbitration I had signed. Also, the 33% they got and that we would have to pay back all hospital and Rehab costs incurred by Medicare and UHC. I am not looking for a big payday but this has cost us $[date removed]so far and I would like to cover that. M&M also said it would be hard to prove that they violated their own protocol and that there was a single person. Thanks to the admin that had since left, I have video clips. We are currently in the discovery phase. Just an FYI. [name removed] felt that the caregivers were pretty good, the food had gone downhill and that housekeeping was slacking. I had mentioned several times that the halls smelled where the big stains were and that the dirt and dead bugs had been in the stairwell since we came in October. [name removed] went to Lake Eustis rehab (formerly Bedrock) for his second round. They were awesome! Even with a wound closed with 52 staples, he left there able to walk short distances with a walker. And that is our story of Brookdale. 3 admins between [dates removed] is cause for concern. So far, we are loving [name removed] new home at [community removed]

Great Assisted Living Facility
Staff is friendly and helpful. Residents are happy. My mom’s apartment is lovely. Although my mom doesn’t partake in the group activities, the calendar is great and they have a nice variety of events for the residents. My mom has been there for 2 months now and likes it. We have no complaints so far.

A Warm and Caring Place to call Home
I probably am not the best judge of the activities because my friend who is the resident, there has only taken advantage of the happy hour and not gone on any of the external trips or done any of the other activities at the facility. Brookdale Lake Tavares has a very Upbeat and positive vibe. The location is beautiful and serene and the lake gives it a very peaceful ambience. The staff make you feel like family and are very fun and friendly. And the apartments themselves are spacious with excellent storage space and the fact that my friend was able to bring his dog and his cat makes it really feel like home to him. in addition, the location is great and close to shopping, restaurants and medical facilities. After looking at several places, finding Brookdale Lake Tavares was like hitting the jackpot!

Highly recommend
The facility is nice, very clean. The staff treat the residents like family. The rooms are big. Separate bedrooms from living areas and I small kitchen area. There are a variety of activities every day, from shopping excursions and lunch outings to activities in the facility like Bingo and cocktail hours. Dad gets the calendar every month and highlights the activities he intends to join.

Review for Brookdale Lake Tavares
He needed an actual one bedroom rather than a Studio and I had just had knee replacement so we could look at a limited number of facilities. It was the best we saw.

Review for Brookdale Lake Tavares
Brookdale values their residents. It is evident in the kindness shown from the front desk, to the dining area staff, to the nurses, and management. They maintain communication with family members, and have professionally handled conflicts that have arisen between my mother and other residents - which are bound to happen. I am pleased that my mother is in a living situation that keeps her social, and all of her needs are met.

Worth a look
It's a beautiful place, but it didn't fulfill all the needs we had. She had issues that the staff were unable to handle. I think they need to be more up front. And just the entrance fee is too high. We told the facility but they could only do so much.

Overall good initial experience
We picked this community, because the value was better for what was included. They also had a special on his room. The people there are really nice. Building is older, but well kept. He has his own space. All is all, affordable and decent care. It is an older building and needs some updates.

Great Place To Live
Brookdale Lake Tavares was the third Assisted Living place I had looked into. I was impressed because it was very clean and everyone made me feel so welcome. I then went and looked at a couple more. Came back to Brookdale because of atmosphere and friendliness. This was the place I wanted to call home.

Great staff
I have visited many places for my brother to move into. From the time I walked in, I knew this was the place. I thank everyone in Brookdale Lake and would recommend to other people.
