Brookdale Santa Barbara

Welcome to Brookdale Santa Barbara! Located in southwest Florida, you can find our family-oriented memory care community tucked away in the city of Cape Coral, which is known for its abundance of canals and is home to Sirenia Vista Park, the Cape Coral Historical Society and Museum, and many other attractions. Plenty of manatees call Cape Coral home, as well!

Brookdale Santa Barbara is committed to establishing person-centered relationships, utilizing two memory care programs for residents based on their cognitive abilities. The Clare Bridge program was created over 30 years ago and is intended to help residents in the mid to late stages of dementia, while the Solace program is designed to accommodate residents in more advanced stages of the disease. Solace provides an additional layer of care, which includes ample time for grooming assistance and activities with the senses, including music and aromatherapy. Regardless of residents’ care needs, all can embrace a sense of security here. Staff is available 24-hours a day, seven days a week to be alerted to an emergency, and a 24-hour security system and keypad entries have been installed as added safety measures.

In addition to providing care and promoting safety, residents receive assistance with daily...

Simply The Best

Staff was friendly, professional, & experienced to assist with all patients/residents needs. Dining was 5-star and prepared fresh daily. After looking and visiting several skilled nursing facilities, Brookdale Santa Barbara was the number one choice. Very nice & Always very clean.

Profit over patient

Aides were wonderful. But, they were required to also be the cleaning staff. The establishment definitely moved their focus from patient to profit during the 6 months my mother was a resident.

ED is not what she seems

The ED makes promises that she doesn’t keep. While in her office she is very condescending, making you feel that you’re in the principals office, always fearing that she won’t take care of your loved one unless you pay more money.

Review for Brookdale Santa Barbara

My friend is now at Brookdale on Santa Barbara in Cape Coral. Myself and three other friends went there to take our friend out for lunch. Our friend looked very unkempt. Her room was a mess, bed not made. I checked her closet because I knew her guardian had purchased new clothes for her when she was transferred to Brookdale. There was not one stitch of clothing hanging in the closet, nor in any drawers! I found the woman who was in charge and told her about the missing clothes and she said she would look into it! My friend was in dire need of a shower and hair wash. Also, she has a roommate who is a hoarder and I personally think her living quarters is a fire trap! This was my third visit to my friend since she was transferred and she is very depressed.

Kind staff makes all the difference

We gave the cleanliness a 3, however they were in the middle of remodeling. I did not observe the activities. The little costs added up quickly. I would prefer an all-inclusive cost. I would recommend Brookdale Santa Barbara to other families based on the experience we have had

Brookdale

Brookdale is a good fit for my husband because all of the staff from office personnel to kitchen to medical staff are all very caring individuals who get to know each resident. They are always polite and caring to me every time I visit. They have been helpful every time I ask for help.

Wonderful place

Is a very family-oriented place walking into the building they make you feel like family right at the front door. All the employees show love to every resident as if it was their own family member. Yes, I’m just waiting on. What do you call it? I don’t see.

Recommended

The facility is small and personal. The staff seems to have a good general sense of the individual needs and personal quirks of their clients. Housekeeping and dietary services are good, though it is not clear who is responsible for client laundry. Need clarity re: respiratory disease precautions and procedures. I would like the monthly bill to show a separation of room/board and care charges. This is important for tax purposes. I would recommend that, whenever possible, there be family meetings with a multidisciplinary care team. All in all, this facility is good and comfortable for those who must remain there.

Best Care for My Mom!

My mom has been at the Brooksdale Santa Barbara since March. They care and love her while providing the attention needed 24/7! The staff is friendly, helpful and treat you like you are part of the family! I can sleep at night knowing my mom is care for and is safe! Thank you for being the BEST in Southwest Florida!

Everyone has been very helpful, friendly, and courteous. [name removed] needs to be encouraged to participate in activities. She likes crafts, coloring, etc. She has coloring books. She must have her new hearing aids in her ears in the morning, and removed at night. I have requested that the nurse be the only one who handles her hearing aids. Missing some clothing items, i.e. short white house coat, brand new. House keeping needs improvement. The floor needs swept. Thank you to all for caring for my mother.

I feel comfortable having Mom there. I can rest easy.

They're amazing. My mom is so happy. They've been wonderful and have done everything to make her feel like they value her as person. Just because she has memory issues, they don't treat her lesser a person. They care for everyone's value of life, and I really really like that. They're also very good about making sure that she's not overmedicated, and that she's just happy in general. It's all about her being happy, and you can see that when you go to visit. My kids even notice that grandma is so happy.

heartbroken

My grandfather was there for 3 days and suffered a heart attack, the nurse left him with an attendant to call 911 but did not show any care for the situation. They had no sympathy and did not care that this happened. They tried to charge us for the full 6-month contract price after he passed and would not provide an incident report or any details of what happend. I would not recommend this facility to others

A great fit

We chose Brookdale Santa Barbara Cape Coral because every time I drove by and saw ads I said that is where I want him to be at. They also had come down on price so it was affordable. The room sizes are good for his needs. The food is excellent, he eats everything he gets. The meals are chef prepared. The only reason I gave a lower score on the care services was because sometimes when we go in there he is not shaven and his hair and nails are grown too long. But, when I bring it up to them they fix it right away. I would absolutely recommend.
