Overall a nice community
The staff is very engaging and good at keeping me updated on anything my dad needs and how he's doing. The food is pretty good too. And all of the care taking staff are very compassionate and helpful towards the residents.

What stood out to me is the person who answers the phones is outstanding. I haven't eaten the food and my Dad is not interested in activities. I can say the calendar is full and looks like a nice variety of activities. I would recommend this community to others!

The first 5 I would give a 5 my mom does not like the food but that goes for every where she's been she is on a mechanical diet I would guess a 4 for the food I would give the activities a 5 there is many activities going on and value for the money I would also give a 5 I have researched other places it's a good price. I like the staff they are very friendly and very welcoming when we visit.

My husband is in a memory care area in Brookdale. Every time we visit him he is always in a good mood. He is clean shaven, hair trimmed and well dressed. We went today, my granddaughter and I, and they invited us to stay and have lunch with him. He was so pleased. I can’t imagine him being anywhere else!!!!

My mother moved in a few months ago and we have since seen such beautiful changes in her. When we toured we explained mom wasn’t the most social and would likely want to be up in her room often, we just wanted her to be in a safe place. To our surprise, we can hardly get in touch with her when we call now! At first this made me nervous and led to panicked calls to the staff thinking the worst but mom is now a social butterfly. She’s out to lunch, she’s painting. The latest yesterday takes the cake - she’s at French Club. This has been such a remarkable weight lifted off our family’s shoulders. Thank you

Facilities are in very good condition for age. All staff members are exceptional, caring and responsive both in daily contact and medical needs. My mother does feel some meals are repetitive, but that is subjective. Hasn't partaken in many outside activities yet, however she lies the family nights. Currently the overall value is fair but they have already announced a substantial price increase for next year

It was a good place in general, I would recommend them. The woman who runs the memory care programming is very good.

It was a nightmare. My dad was only there 4 days. He fell four time in one night and no one knew but we had cameras in his room. My dad was dead 2 months later. In the short few days there my dad's floor was sticky - likely with some urine and despite asking many times, my sisters and I were the only ones who cleaned in his room There was a nurse named [name removed] who really cared and was so kind and patient to my sweet dad but the aids were not friendly and harsh and myself and my sisters had to tell them many times he has dementia (despite being in a memory care locked unit) and that he needs more time to do things and doesn't always understand what is being asked of him - again because he as dementia. I could go on for days about how horrible it was. There was a really nice looking schedule yet anytime you went to the area the activity was suppose to be taking place, nothing was happening or it was being let by someone who did not engage with the residents. You couldn't pay me to send my dad back to that facility. We were told by [name removed], the director who gave us all of our money back that there is an investigation about the care my dad received during his short time there and he said there will be people fired by the end of the day. Who knows if anything ever came of it but we were so heartbroken and traumatized by what my dad had gone through and wish he never placed him there.

Overall it wasn't good. Partly because of aides with him 24 hr hired by agency recommended by Brookdale.

I would recommend Brookdale South Windsor to others. There is great communication with the family from the staff. My mom likes the food. The only thing to improve is that they need more activities. They have some, but not as many as my loved one's previous facility had.

Our dad is doing great, that's what matters, and we pick this place for location. I would recommend to others.

I love the community. The staff is very responsive and caring. After visiting other communities I picked this "place for mom" because it had fewer residents in memory care, felt more like a home and the staff was warmer.

Brookdale South Windsor has a very caring staff team. They have nice apartments for the residents and a good feel to their memory care. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend this community to other families.

My father is currently a resident at Brookdale South Windsor and things have been great! The facility is clean. The staff, from the Executive Director to housekeeping, have been so friendly and helpful. The transition/move in process was seamless. The process was more personable rather than selling me the newest model apartment. The Executive Director really listened to my mother and I about my father and his needs. It is such a family environment, with staff that really care about your loved one. My father was in rehab and could not wait to get back to Brookdale. I would recommend Brookdale South Windsor to others.

This facility is nice for a mobile person who wants to live in a community with lots of activities. It can not handle individuals whose condition changes and person needs more care. There is no nurse on site during the night so they can't do hospice, although that was mentioned up front. It is extremely expensive for the care. I also hired a 24/7 aide from another agency to assist, but received calls about staff not getting along. The 2nd agency aide was not very good, but this was the agency recommended by Brookdale. My father was there a little over a month and had 2 hospitalizations while there, so was not at facility very long and very expensive for the short time he was there. Staff was friendly, especially the front desk woman who went above to assist the best she could. I don't recommend this facility for a resident who is used to living alone - best to hire a 24/7 person to live in home, if possible.

They could improve on the quality of the food. They are very friendly and helpful. It's a nice place to be. We picked this community, because of the price.

Our family had an in person tour and we felt that the staff members were excellent but the reason we did not pick this community is because the rooms were quite small and the pricing was a la carte.

I know the quality of the food was great overall, I did not have it myself but I know she was happy with it. The fact that it's kept clean and has many amenities and overall the staff was very cheerful and professional. Overall was a wonderful facility.

This was a good community. The community wanted to place my loved one in the memory care unit immediately, and we wanted something else.
