Brookdale Clarksville

The facilities at Brookdale Clarksville looked like they were all right. The staff was fine. They were friendly and everything. They had a small courtyard. They had a special type of bath or something like that. The bedroom was kind of small, but they have a really big facility there and it was clean. Publix was just up the street, and Brookdale had its own pharmacy.

Everybody at Brookdale Clarksville was nice. The rooms were clean. Everything was good. The staff was very friendly and willing to help. They were playing bingo while I was there. They also have a spa, a courtyard, a beauty and barbershop, and a little room to watch TV.

We toured Brookdale Clarksville. They had a nice space, and the staff was really nice and friendly. The residents looked pretty happy. As a first-time person involving myself in doing a tour and stuff, the spaces were nice, and the rooms were decent and clean. The staff was very helpful and friendly. They have only a few openings. They usually have permanent residents, and they've been pretty well full for the last three months. It's completely memory care place for people very committed to Alzheimers. The companion suites were decent-sized. Obviously for memory care they don't have any microwaves or anything. As far as their little kitchenette area goes, it's just like a dorm-sized refrigerator, some counter space, and some cabinet space. You have to share a closet space. Everything was clean. They have a lot of activities. They have ice cream socials and movie nights. They have a lot of music people that come in there and do like live music and stuff. They have game stuff, too. They have a little like courtyard area where they can go outside. They have gardening there, too. They don't do respite care now because there's so many more people that are looking for a full-time residency, but they have two openings. The studio apartment was pretty spacious for them, but the shower area where they have their private bathrooms was huge. Then they have this big old spa bathtub for those that have difficulty getting in; they can put them in there. They have 24-hour medical care, so the nurses are there. My dad was talking about not feeling well and the nurse who just happened to be there took his vitals. It's a lot larger area, but everybody seemed happy. The staff seemed friendly and helpful. The place was clean, nice, and orderly.

I toured Brookdale Clarksville memory care yesterday. The place had a very warm feel, and the staff was very professional and very helpful. It was very well-kept and very nice. The dining area looked very clean and well-kept. During my visit, they had the residents in a common area watching TV and they had several activities for them to do. They had card games and puzzles. They also had little interactive things laying around like the men had some tools and things they could manipulate while the ladies had some stuff like household items that they could touch and feel.

I toured Brookdale Clarksville. The people were really nice. The facility looked like it was updated, and it looked like they care. They were really nice. They were up-to-date, and they told me everything I want to know. The staff was really good. The upkeep was very good. I saw nothing out of place. It looked like a nice place to live. It was accessible and easy to get to.

We moved my mom into Brookdale Clarksville, and we've been very satisfied with everything. They have been very attentive to my mom, and they have communicated well with us. I don't have any complaints. The room is nice too. They have group activities every day. They have a schedule, and they have a person that's in charge of activities there. Unfortunately, my mom does not want to participate in a lot of things. If people want to participate, they can have hands on activities for them. They have people that come in and do music. They have an activity schedule every day, but like I said, my mom is not one that really wants to participate. The dining area is nice, and the food seems fine. My mom is not eating well right now, but that's not because of the food. This is because she's choosing not to eat; probably partly because of her dementia, and she's 90. My mother does not participate in activities, but every day there's a schedule posted of what's going to happen and at what time. They have something planned every day. We can't go in the dining room and eat with her, but sometimes we're allowed to bring in food if she wants something special. They have a special dining room; where if your family brings in food, you can go and eat.
