Review for The Gardens at Brook Ridge Assisted Living and Memory Care

We greatly appreciated the following things compared to other facilities that my mother stayed in: 1. The activities calendar was full of things daily for my mother to participate in. 2. The food was tasty & varied. 3. The staff was very attentive to her needs. 4. The directors were receptive to questions/conerns, etc. 5. Everything was kept clean & tidy. I was a private-pay. The monthly cost was higher than any other facility that my mother lived in. I would recommend the facility to others (if they could afford it).

Affordable! And a nice living place besides. Great staff, very caring

For cleanliness - there was broken glass in the corner of his room from when he knocked over his lamp and it broke. It was only by the bed that was vacuumed up. For meals, I had to finally ask for dad, to be moved to another table where the people would talk to him. Then it was fine. There was always activities and parties and decoration themes, but dad did not want to go to anything. He was asked be always said no. " He wanted to be at home". The cost was affordable for us! Dad just did not want to stay there, he was [profanity removed] bent on coming home.

Review for The Gardens at Brook Ridge Assisted Living and Memory Care

My loved one is very unhappy with in house doctor visits and extremely unhappy with being served cold food .I would tell a friend, to look at other places and make sure you ask the other residents about the meals and activities, or lack there of.

A great place for loved ones, friendly and caring staff, would recommend.

All 5's. The Gardens at Brook Ridge Assisted Living and Memory Care was a blessing, kindness and understand staff relieved a lot of my worries and stress. My mother passed away on [date removed] , which was her 94 Birthday. I am grateful to all at The Gardens who helped me through this last year.

So far so good

Mom is new to the community (Feb). One unpleasant incident that is being investigated. She seems very happy and content otherwise. The staff are very caring and supportive. Her apartment is very spacious and nice. She really loves the food and not having to cook. So far so good.

Review for The Gardens at Brook Ridge Assisted Living and Memory Care

They complain about the food always being cold. We picked this community because of the price. They have no activities and cold food.

Review for The Gardens at Brook Ridge Assisted Living and Memory Care

We picked this community, because they had larger rooms ( like apartments)with kitchenettes. 1-2 bedrooms or studio. Plenty of room and some are shared by 2 people ( if that is wanted for a couple or just to share the cost. Laundry and light cleaning is included. All meals are included. The best bang for your buck.

The Gardens was the first of 12 facilities we visited, and they were head and shoulders above the rest in the Rio Grande Valley. Onboarding was efficient. Sincere, friendly and affectionate staff. MD makes rounds every couple of weeks.

Strive to go above and beyond with a few improvements could be made

The reason we gave the meals and dining 3 out of 5 stars, is based on the marketing and everything we felt like the quality of the meals were going to be more on the healthier side and geared more towards brain function. They do have fish and protein sometimes and we do appreciate how accommodating they have been when it comes to customized meals, but we have seen cheap meals like hotdogs and sandwiches - that also could be because it is easier to chew/digest. We have not been there during the days when activities are going on, but we do know they try their best to do physical activities with them. They do not provide usable internet for the residents, this impacts visitation for us especially if we have to work while visiting and we aren't able to stream things for our love done. They do provide cable though. Based on our experience with The Gardens at Brook Ridge we would recommend them to other families.

My Tour Experience at The Gardens at Brook Ridge Assisted Living and Memory Care

The Gardens at Brook Ridge is right next to Brook Ridge. It was for people who are not active and needed more care than my loved one needed at this time.

I would have no problem recommending The Gardens to anyone.

My impression is that they have a great, caring staff and nurses. Prompt response to any resident needing assistance. I have been grateful for the care my mother has been receiving. I think it has been excellent.

Overall a good community, but could always use some improvements

The community does seem to have some trouble hanging on to the staff, but the staff members that are here are very friendly. The management team could use some improvements, sometimes it doesn't seem like they are doing their job, but for the most part it is a pretty nice community.

Excellent Care at Gardens at Brook Ridge

The residents can request anything they want to eat, and the community is willing to fix or bring the requests to the residents. They have lots of activities for the residents to participate in. My mom is here and she loves it. They do a good job of communicating if there is anything that comes up so you can be there for your loved one.

A trustworthy facility for my parents to stay!

During check-in we thought everything was really good. The rooms were very clean and well taken care of. With COVID my parents have complained a little bit about the good quality. One issue we are having is with the inconsistencies of their COVID policies with the family members. It seems like it changes constantly, and the family members are not advised of these changes until we show up to visit our loved one. The communication between the weekday crew and the weeknight crew is off, as well as the feedback to the families. The other thing is the landscaping. The do really well keeping things clean, however their are palm trees in front of our loved ones window that is blocking their view, and apparently they only get trimmed every two years. However, we would recommend this community.

It Pays To Do The Right Thing

The community is wonderful. My mom was super excited and enjoyed in the community. Everyone at the Gardens went out of their way to assist us in getting my mom out of her former community, and moved over to The Gardens. During the process of my mom being in the former community she came down with COVID. The community was extremely supportive to the family. The Gardens followed every protocol in keeping all residents and employees safe during this pandemic. They haven't had any cases of COVID in the community. This wonderful community made sure to come in clean and sanitized my mom's room twice a day. The Gardens immediately had physical therapy and other services waiting for my mom to get started and helping her settled in. If I ever needed a place I would look to see if any communities in my area were associated with this community. It is a wonderful place.
