Brookdale

They have an active community with neighbors checking on neighbors, lots of activities, a salon in the building, allow pets and the staff is amazing. Especially their cook who has appeared on the Cooking Channel multiple times and takes a sincere interest in people's dining regimens.

I am so grateful to A Place For Mom for putting me in touch with Brookdale Edina. I looked at a few places around Minneapolis and so many of them were honestly depressing. What a relief to find Brookdale Edina! It’s a vibrant community of very nice, welcoming people alongside a competent, friendly, caring staff. The daily activities are varied, imaginative, and well attended. They have gardening, music and art programs, balance and chair yoga exercise classes as well as media viewing parties, happy hours and bingo! There’s a pottery wheel on site and a person who teaches classes. Their music program is robust and inclusive; they even have a choir. The rooms are spacious and cozy. They welcome pets. The pricing is comparable to other locations while the wealth of offerings are far above them in quantity and quality. I can’t recommend Brookdale Edina enough. It is an amazing community. I’m so glad for the opportunity to stay here.

Facility is very clean and inviting. The staff is so helpful and nice. When you talk to the residence, they all have good things to say about Brookdale

Staff at BrookDale are very helpful and informative and kind. My dad fell and broke his back so needed assisted living- and was very hesitant about the transition but they eased his fears quickly and have taken great care of him for the last month. We are so grateful for their ability to make him feel at home- even in such a huge change of life.

On behalf of my brother I would rate this community a "5"... The staff is fantastic. The facility is quite nice...very clean and gives a very welcoming feeling as soon as you walk in.

The response to our inquiry was fast and very comforting. We had two good appropriate choices to visit in only one day!

Mom and dad are well cared for. Everyone is caring and patient and treat the residents like family.

The homelike atmosphere is great, and there is a happy loving vibe. They also have shown their knowledge and understanding of the disease of Alzheimer’s. One example is how they noticed my loved one had behavior that might mean a UTI, they got the urine sample done there, sent it to his PCP clinic and antibiotics were delivered that day instead of him having to go to urgent care and be cathetered, as it was done in a previous facility. The food is good and plentiful for a hungry male resident too!

The staff has been great so far with updates and daily care of my aunt. I would recommend this facility. They have been on key so far.

My Father’s initial expectation was that an indepening facility would diminish his independence and he was proven wrong his first week. The reality is quite different because the atmosphere is energetic. There are always activities, events, entertainment and clubs that many residents are engaged in. The staff is exceptional and many already know him by name. During the transition they helped guide us through veteran benefits that we didn’t even know existed. This facility sdent livo far has been a fantastic choice and has truly exceed our expectations.

[name removed] and [name removed] have been amazing in helping us get our mom/mother-in-law settled in and answering all our questions and just making us feel very comfortable with this transition. It's a very nice quaint place on the river with a super friendly staff. Thanks so much!

I cannot begin to express how lovely, competent, caring, understanding, skilled, and more, everyone has been to my mother and family ... Any minor thing I needed was taken care of immediately and respectfully, no question ... The skilled nursing staff and administrators are readily available and handled my concerns at all times, day or night. I was kept informed of every change occuring with my mother's health and wellness. The caring shown for and given allowed me to find peace and comfort. I should say the same amount of time and care given to my mother ... was given to our family ... to me. We feel blessed to have found this "home" for her. Thank You!!!

Brookdale Wekiwa has provided good care for my mother and great accommodations. It's costly but she loves it. A great community of residents and a variety of activities to keep residents engaged.

The experienced and dedicated professionals made an impression during our initial tours and continue to deliver courteous & prompt service during and after move in. In the several months of residency the facility and staff continue to exceed our expectations.

A Place for Mom recommended several facilities and we toured them all. It was narrowed down to Brookdale - First Colony and [community removed]. At Brookdale- First Colony we were treated like a valued guest. We were provided lunch and all of our questions were answered. Brookdale - First Colony took the time to find my father’s needs as well as treating him with respect and dignity. We are so impressed with A Place for Mom and Brookdale - First Colony and recommend them very enthusiasticly.

Activities, quality meals, friendly staff, security and value for the price is why I chose this community for my loved ones. I would highly recommend Brookdale Senior Living Shreveport. LA. to others

My dad was at end stage of his life and needed more care than assisted living. The food staff made extra effort to assist. The director provided her cell number in the event we need to escalate an issue. Very approachable and friendly. The director tried to work within our budget.

Appreciated them finding a discounted room for my dad saving us $[removed] a month so thanks. Would recommend.

Of course the folks who live there all have dementia/Alzheimer’s and so the staff clean and clean but there will be smells and accidents. While staff can get frustrated with each other, they never take it out on residents and they generally try to work together as a team. The staff who work there have a VERY hard job and I appreciate each of them and what they do for my mother!!

They are caring and helpful......always considerate and professional. Easy to make friends with other residents and lots of activities to keep you active. They keep the family informed at all times.
