Our families recommendation
would rate all of the questions as 5's, always clean, everyone is easy to talk to, helpful and cooperative. Mom always speaks highly of the food and how they have choices. The overall care is amazing and engaged. Mom doesn't engage in many of the activities, but enjoys the ones she does go to. We couldn't get half as good of care at home for what we pay now. It's a great facility. I just hope when I get to the right age, I would have the opportunity to stay there myself.

She has fallen several times. The first time, she pushed her call button and waited far too long before anyone came. They called me, but she was left on the floor for an extended period before being helped, and I wasn’t notified until much later. This is NOT acceptable to me.

The staff is very helpful. They are so kind and accommodating. The facility is clean. It is dated but well maintained. I would definitely recommend! In fact a friend just placed her mom in Brookdale in Michigan from my recommendation. Happy! That's how I feel. Because my mom is happy. She has activities everyday. She loves being busy and talking to people. The staff engage her and make her feel important.

[name removed] and her staff did a phenomenal job of making my mother feel at home. Their attentiveness was outstanding and very sincere. I felt good about the care she received and would recommend this assisted living facility to anyone who is in a situation where their loved ones need more assistance. They approach their caring of others with open, loving arms. Thank you to everyone who came into contact with my mother and helped her live out the rest of her life with loving care.

Brookdale took wonderful care of my loved one. She initially came for a short respite stay and when she went home decided to go back to Brookdale because she had such a great experience. She adored all of the caregivers and other staff. She loved the live entertainment. The building is clean and the staff are friendly. The management team communicated well on her care needs. I would recommend Brookdale to others.

Every time I see my Aunt, she talks about her group at the meal table. You did a good job matching people up. She feels safe. Currently still getting changes made from address, types of service and feels regret about missing some of the things you have planned. Music concerts, root beer floats, she is almost settled and I think she will enjoy most of the activities you have.

Everyone here is very helpful. Made us feel at home would recommend anyone to come and stay and live here. I was only here a short time because I was only getting stronger to go back home. My experience was wonderful. If I ever need a fulltime Place this would be it.

I would rate Brookdale at a 5 in all categories, they are very helpful, friendly and genuinely care about the residents. My mother is improving every day. She's doing well and starting to get out of her room and socializing.

This what [name removed] told me. One of the aides yelled at him alot. Then one of the aides when bringing him back from a meal would only push him into the doorway and he had to make his way into the apt on his own in his wheelchair. I don't believe asst living was the best decision for [name removed] as he declined about 50% in the month he was there.

Overall, I find the staff, very considerate and friendly. The medical staff and caregivers are very good and considerate, the activities Director is absolutely amazing, the facility is very clean and the staff make it so on a regular basis. The kitchen staff works very hard, and it shows in the quality of food. Costs same reasonable.

The activities have an NA because our loved one doesn't go to any of them. They 100% need more staffing. They are a good place for care. So far I don't have complaints. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend this community to other families

Most staff seem to really care about their residents and caregivers patient and welcoming. Other residents also friendly and caring to my Mom who has dementia. Staff all know me by name. I have trust in nursing staff who are well aware of my mom's needs and call my attention to any medical concerns.

Comment as to why I gave them bad ratings- I believe they said they could take care of my aunt when she was actually beyond their capabilities. They charged her a [fee removed] community fee which they originally said it was a security deposit and when I asked for it back they said " oh no that was a non-refundable community fee " . On top of the expensive stay. She was in the hospital for about half of her 3 months stay there which they said I still had to pay the full amount. [name removed] did like the food and activities while she was there. But I feel like they ripped us off for several thousand dollars at least. I feel like there needs to be some government regulation to keep them from just taking money from the elderly. I would not recommend Brookdale at all. They get a 1 for honesty!

My loved one is a resident at Brookdale Urbana. The staff is friendly and makes a good effort. The care services are good. The cleanliness and friendliness are great. The value for cost is also good.

If I could give the activities more than a 5, I would. The activity offerings are fabulous! The activities and the family atmosphere are the best. They offered the full range of services possible at their licensing level. My dad has an ostomy bag, and not all places would help with that. Also, again...the family feeling connected with all the activities. For example, whenever possible, memory care would come to the assisted living side for music programs and social events. The commitment to truly engaging residents at all levels was really obvious. Also, they have at least one nurse IN THE BUILDING 24/7.

Minor hiccups in communication. The overall cleanliness of the community is really nice. Everyone has been great. The care services get a 3 out of 5 only because they could use about 100 more staff. When it comes to the meals and dining, dad has no complaint. For the activities, we couldn't say. Dad is too sick to attend. They seem to have a lot of good stuff planned. It's not bad for what we get and they offer a lot of services

I would rank all categories as 5. And if I could give an even higher score to the activities available, I would! The activity directors do an AMAZING job of providing a wealth of activities for everyone. We would highly recommend Brookdale Urbana to other families based on the experience we have had so far.

I’m [name removed] (POA) for my Mother, [name removed]. I, with my family’s blessings, made the decision to move my Mother to Brookdale from another care facility. The difference has been remarkable. Mom has advanced dementia and has increasingly been a difficult patient to handle. Brookdale has performed exceptionally well. One of the great improvements that we looked for was staff turnover.At Brookdale it has been minimal. That speaks volumes. Consistency and a stable atmosphere are paramount to us. Brookdale’s approach is in tune with the disease and understands it. Cleanliness is top notch. Keeping us aware of Mom’s issues and how they are being handled has been a breath of fresh air. Until you have seen your loved one neglected and under unnecessary mistreatment you can’t truly appreciate how outstanding Brookdale is. We have been there. I could go on and on but Will stop here and simply say Brookdale is professional top to bottom. We can sleep at night knowing she is in good hands.
