Mom is so happy at Brookdale Summer Ridge

Transitioning a parent from their home they have lived in for many years to assisted living can be difficult. The staff at Brookdale Summer Ridge made ours so smooth. From the day we arrived the staff cared and communicated with Mom and made her feel important and loved. Mom loves the people she lives with and made great friends. When my wife and I show up we always find her happy and ready to introduce us to another person that just moved in. Great friendships, kind and courteous staff, with great food and a very clean environment. What more could you ask for! Thank you Summer Ridge staff.

The best place!

I just moved my mom into Brookdale Summer Ridge(Rockwall) senior living. This is the best place I can’t begin to tell you what a blessing this place has been for her. They are amazing there and my mom is going to thrive here. I can’t say enough good things about this place and the peace of mind I have. They truly care!

Brookdale Summer Ridge

I have been out of the country the past 6 months the so had no real direct experience with Brookdale other than knowing it was getting bad. Enough that I authorized a move for her in [date removed]. Based on what I know...Staff turnover was beyond ridiculous from the kitchen staff to management.

Resident since [date removed]

Overall the atmosphere at Brookdale Summer Ridge is very inviting and warm. The general layout, with a garden courtyard in the middle gives a feeling of safety and security centered on beautiful landscaping and mature shade trees. The resident's rooms have much natural lighting that is snooting and can lift spirits.

Review for Brookdale Summer Ridge

I would definitely refer others. Your staff and Director were very kind and always available. We were attracted to them, ust being in Rockwall, when I think of Rockwall, I've always felt things there were, well, just "next level". And I believe it was.

Review for Brookdale Summer Ridge

My parents have some wonderful staff who truly care, unfortunately those few are the exception. They are grossly understaffed so perhaps if that wasn't the case, maybe some of the staff wouldn't be so exhausted and frustrated. The change in management about a year ago was a turn for the worse. The corporate billing has always been an issue as well. No one should do auto pay.

Not recommended for higher level of care

If the resident has dementia or a progressive illness that would require a higher level of support in the future, Brookdale is not equipped for this. The resident needs to be fairly independent with minimal needs for assistance. I had to move my father within a year due to them unable to meet his growing needs. They told me that they could support him fully as long as he was not a flight risk. That is not true.

Amazing care

If you are looking for a community that truly cares about the engagement of their residents, then look no further. Brookdale Summer Ridge has an amazing activity program that includes, poetry writing, tap dancing and multiple outings. I would highly recommend this community to anyone who is searching.

Would not recommend

What they could improve on is telling you something to get you in the door. Then changing the rules after your down payment. The rules kept changing. She got COVID at the facility and passed away. The whole experience was Awful and I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Clean, Professional & Caring

The care is top notch at Brookdale Summer Ridge. The team from the Executive Director and down are all kind, professional and attentive. I love how they all seem to get along like family. My loved one has been cared for like a member of their own family. The building smells nice and the courtyard is gorgeous. I love the landscaping and ease of which my family can get to all of the numerous engaging activities. The food is outstanding. The chef really listens to the residents. Five stars all around!

Review for Brookdale Summer Ridge

They did not ASSIST her with anything that she wasn't charged extra for. We had to pull mom out. It was way too expensive for the little care that she was getting. $[removed]a month was too much to pay when it only included housing, utilities, and meals that were not edible(cold, dry, rubbery meat, etc...). If they did anything for her, she was charged a separate charge. I do not recommend at all.

Just Don't

My 92 year old parents lived here for almost one year. This place is one of the worst. They paid for services that were not rendered. The facility is always short handed with no one available to answer call lights. Many times my mom waited over a hour to be taken to the bathroom. They never got the food they ordered on the menu and when questioned "they were out of it". Much of the food was inedible and at one point the facility ran out of food. An activity schedule is posted but it is mostly for show and they just don't happen. The managwment is nonresponsive to complaints. Someone in there golden years deserves better!

This is the best assisted living In Rockwall. They give the homelike cozy atmosphere.The residents are all friendly and welcoming. It's worth a trip to go meet friendly faces and visit the turtles in the courtyard!!

My experience of the tour at the Brookdale summer ridgefacility

I mostly interacted with [name removed] who was the most friendly, courteous and helpful staff member. All staff at the reception was very friendly and helpful which made my friend feel at ease. Initially I was concerned about having to leave her in a very strange place with unfamiliar staff. But after my tour there, I felt very confident to leave her there . Thanks to The Brookdale facility for having [name removed] as an inmate there .
