Mom's happy we're happy!

Let me start by telling our previous experience with Brookdale. My wife's parents were at Brookdale about 9 years until [time frame removed]. They complained about the food, the staff not being paid enough, short staffed. ( they tend to complain a bit ). Also they only have one elevator and it broke several times during their stay. Fast forward to 2025, when we toured the facility we noticed they had stepped up their game quite a bit. At the time we didn't have a lot of choices to relocate my Mom, because there were over 100 people displaced from the Terraces in Pasadena, all looking for a place to relocate locally. This was not the best place logistically but the best we could find at the time. So far the staff is very efficient, they have new cooks, and menus, the care givers are very friendly and attentive. My mom is very happy with the food, and enjoys the all of the special events, and classes they put on. Only negative, the elevator was out of service for 2 1/2 days last week. My ratings are for my mom's current experience.

Our families experience with Brookdale Monrovia

My mother doesn't participate in anything so I can't rate the activities. What we like the most about Brookdale Monrovia would be probably the friendliness and the nursing staff's willingness to accommodate my mother's sometimes unique needs. Also it's location is very convenient. Close to several medical facilities and a pharmacy. every time I'm visiting, usually twice a week, all of the residents are cheerful and friendly. This is not always the case in assisted living facilities

Friendly community

For us the fact that Brookdale was so close was a major factor. We only really considered two places that were in walking distance of our house; and Brookdale Monrovia was the nicer of the two.

Place for Mother

A year ago, I moved my mother to Brookdale Monrovia. I wanted a place where she would be safe and also have a social life. My decision was not easy but after touring the community and meeting with [name removed], Executive Director, and [name removed], Activity Director I new this was the perfect place for my mother. They both answered all my questions and concerns. I never felt pressured. I was very impressed with all the services they provide for their residents. They welcomed my mother with open arms. Her primary language is Spanish and I was worried that my mother would not feel comfortable because the community has few residents that speak Spanish. But I felt at ease knowing that majority of staff speak Spanish fluently. I always wanted my mother to live out her golden years in a safe and happy place. Brookdale is the place!

Mom’ Home and loving the community

My mother became a resident in April of 2022, and neither her or I have any regrets. Brookdale has become her home now and she enjoys living there, and getting involved in all of the many daily activities offered to for residents. My mom especially enjoys the weekly excursions, offering a verity of activities and destination. Mom has become an active member of the community, and is always bragging about how welcoming the residents are and how personal and loving the staff is. They call her by name and are a part of her family now.

The best of care

I highly reccomend this facility . My sister lives there and gets the best of care . The employees have a great attitude which to me means they enjoy and value their work . The residents are all very friendly as we greet them in passing . The facility is immaculate and welcoming . My sister is very happy there and enjoys the activities . I have been in plenty of facilities, and most of them are very depressing. Brookdale is a refreshing haven. The staff takes good care of my sister if there’s any problems and our family feels good knowing they are there for us

101-year-old mom having the time of her life

At 101, mom was living alone with a twice a week caregiver. She wasn't getting the social interaction she needed. Every day I would wait for her call or her email telling me she was ok. When I suggested assisted living she said "I'm not going to one of those places". Having already visited Brookdale Monrovia, I knew that if I could get her there, she'd want to move. I showed her the online videos and she agreed to a tour. We toured the community and stayed for lunch. By the time we got home, she was sold. Everyone fussed and fawned over her, which she loved. She's happy with the people, the activities and the food. She's made friends. Every day she gets up and gets dressed -- no more sitting around in her housecoat. I no longer hear "I'm alone so much" and I know she's safe. It's a "win-win".

Affordable gem of a community

Having moved from a high-end Assisted Living, I can confidently affirm that Brookdale Monrovia offers exceptional value without compromising on care, comfort, and a warm, welcoming environment. One distinguishing feature is the intimate and cozy atmosphere that fosters personalized experiences. The smaller size allows staff to form meaningful connections with each resident, creating a sense of genuine belonging. Being recognized by name enhances the bond with both the staff and fellow residents. Mornings at Brookdale Monrovia are truly delightful. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure every resident feels seen and valued. One outstanding individual is [name removed], whose warm smile and cheerful "good morning" brighten the dining room. Her attention to detail and personal touch create a pleasant and uplifting start to the day. Reach out to Director [name removed] or [name removed], the sales manager, they are always engaged and approachable. They both will gladly help you make an informed decision.

The people who work here are very nice and most are good with the elderly. The facilities themselves are old and have many things wrong with them.

Exceptional facility and team

Most importantly my mom loves living at Brookdale Monrovia. She always talks about the great food, her lovely apartment, and enjoyable residents. The best part of Brookdale Monrovia is the caring staff. From the director to the aids they are all amazing.

Reasonably well run. Food is passable. Control of employees tends to be lax. Could be improved if caregivers were better supervised.

Amazing. My Mother couldn't be happier!

During the pandemic, my Mother who was living alone fell down and broker her femur - ended up having surgery then sent to a rehab center. She is extremely social and active and didn't feel ready for "additional care." It was only at that point that she agreed to consider Assisted Living facilities. I am an avid researcher - and was tasked with finding a place that she would love. I researched every single AL place in Monrovia/Arcadia and surrounding areas and focused on a few that seemed like a possible fit. Just looking at the pictures of Brookdale Monrovia made me smile. I knew my Mom would LOVE the courtyard - which reminds us of New Orleans. Her room has a balcony that overlooks the courtyard and she enjoys her coffee in the morning, and wine in the evening out there. She has made some very dear friends - and is able to be as social as she desires. I don't have a call with her where she doesn't thank me for "finding this amazing place for her." We couldn't be happier!

Best place for Mom

Moving Mom into Brookdale (Monrovia) was the best thing for my Mom. From the moment we toured the facility we knew this was the place. Everyone we met was friendly and welcoming. Being a very social person,, Mom is just thriving. Moving Mom in during the height of COVID had it's challenges, but the staff were very helpful. I think my Mom feels like she has adopted new family members. She is well cared for and all staff are attentive to any need.

Good experience, highly recommend

My mom had a good experience with Brookdale Monrovia. Her independence deteriorated so she ended up needing more care than they were able to provide, so we did have to end up moving her out. Overall they did an excellent job and were very good while she was here. I would highly recommend to others looking.

Better then the rest!

They are a very caring staff team they take great care of our parents. The food is good, they have a lot of activities even during the lock down. They are on top of keeping everyone safe and following all the covid protocols. they are easy to deal with, and the value is reasonably priced compared to the other facilities. We just cannot say enough good things about them, the staff are all very caring and attentive.

Brookdale is Awesome

Brookdale Monrovia is awesome! The community is very inviting and welcoming. We toured other communities, and I think they are a little pricier here; however, you get what you pay for. The residents get a menu to choose for food. The residents are able to eat around the clock. Brookdale is very clean. The community has been renovated. They worked hard on getting my loved one transitioned into the community. The community has a bus available for the residents to use.

Above and beyond

We chose Brookdale Monrovia because everybody was so friendly during our visit, the staff members as well as the residents. It seemed more bright and cheery rather than some others that we saw. My mom said she felt comfortable and did not want to look anywhere else. She is in a larger room and she thinks it is the perfect size for her needs, she also has a balcony so she is able to get some fresh air. The staff is really trying to keep residents busy with activities since the restrictions have opened up some. They do things like exercises classes, site seeing, crafts, etc. My mom always mentions how nice everyone is. They truly go above and beyond for their residents. They have a new executive director and she does zoom calls with families every week about updates inside the community and what is going on, she always keeps us informed. I would recommend.

Review of Brookdale Monrovia

The Activities Director was gracious to leave the Ipad in Mom's room while she left to pass out Mother's Day baskets to the other residents. It was an amazing and heartwarming experience to see my mom face to face and know that she is making the best of a different situation during COVID-19.
