Brookdale North Augusta

Brookdale North Augusta was very attractive. It was a very small group, and it's set back off the road, so it would be quiet. I liked it a lot. The staff was very informative, friendly, and thorough. The facility was perfect. It looked very comfortable, bright, and very clean. It's hands down my favorite, but my mother didn't like the location because it's in South Carolina.

My parents were in Brookdale North Augusta. It's a very nice facility, although it was not a good fit for my parents. He had fallen and crushed three vertebrae in his back, so he was not able to really get around as well as he should for assisted living. And my mother has Alzheimer's but they do not have a memory care facility. The staff members were wonderful, they had a lot of staff that had been there for a very long time. So that says a lot to me. The dining area was very nice and the food was good. They have a nice courtyard in the middle of the facility, they have a large front porch with rocking chairs, and they have sidewalks that go around so the residents can get out and walk. It's just not a good fit for my parents. They were a little beyond assisted living.

My mother-in-law is at Brookdale North Augusta. It's very homey and an older assisted living facility, but very well-maintained. The room she's in right now is rather small though, almost like a dorm room or a very small efficiency apartment. I don't know what the other rooms look like, but her room is very small. The executive director and the RN are very dedicated and good at their jobs. Like everywhere else right now, I think they're having trouble with keeping fully staffed with other workers who are not RNs, just trained caregivers. My mother-in-law has not been able to participate too much in the activities. I think they have several, but because of her condition she really can't. I know they have movies and games and things, but she hasn't been able to participate. She raves about the food, for the most part. She thinks the food is good.

visited the place and it is very well kept and the staff is very friendly and the residents really love the place. Highly would consider placing my parents there.

I was looking for places in the phonebook and I found Sterling House. I like Sterling House, it was very clean. They did have a beautiful dining room and sitting room with a TV. They also have beautiful garden in the back of the facility and I was taken by it. I think like most ALF, this one seemed to be rather quiet in terms of environment. There was music playing but it was low because there were people watching TV in the sitting area. The environment was really good and I like it. The staff was very good, very friendly, and very outgoing. They answered all the questions I had. As a matter of fact, they took me into an apartment of a lady there. It was supposed to be a two-bedroom apartment but she made one room into a little sitting area and the other room into her bedroom. There was like a foyer area. There was also a bathroom with sliding door on it. She had a microwave and a small refrigerator. She also had a nice window where she could see out. It was kind of like any apartment would be. They were also allowed TV in their room. In terms of activities, I did know they had bingo, movie nights, and crafting activities. They would play a lot of games.

Sterling House was our favorite. It was exceptional. I think it was very open, bright and inviting. It was home-like as well. The staff was well-informed and seemingly very competent. I like that they're very friendly too. Their rooms were small but comfortable for assisted living.
