My father is in Brookdale Port Charlotte. We chose it because of the location. It was a mile away from where he lived and he was familiar with the area. His banks and stores and everything that he goes to are still very convenient. The staff was very friendly, very welcoming, very attuned to what our needs were, and helpful in describing the different levels of care and what they offered, and going in, not knowing anything, they were able to at least help with that. The rooms are perfect. I think my dad has one of the larger units. It's a one-bedroom, bath, and it has a living area and a small kitchenette, and it was the perfect size. It's like 600 or 700 square feet, which downsizing from his home, which was probably 1600 or 1800 square feet, I thought was going to be tough, but it worked out perfectly. It's very homey and very comfortable. Once we got everything set up, everything was just what he needed and nothing that he didn't. There's Home Depot, Lowe's, Michael's, Publix, Winn-Dixie, all the banks, everything is in this area. It's like the hub of Port Charlotte, so everything is there. It's a basic homecooked kind of meal. It's nothing too fancy. They have options, which was nice in the morning, if you wanted an omelet or if you wanted toast or if you want a bacon and eggs fried. Then at lunch, they've got a preprinted menu for the week or maybe even the month. They give them a couple of options and it could be anything from something heart-healthy, fruit and cottage cheese or something like that to a sandwich, to hot dogs, and then for dinner, one night it might be pot roast, another one, it might be chicken or fish. My dad liked it. He said it was good. The dining area is pretty large with probably 15 tables that can sit up to four at each. When I went in to sit with my dad a few times, most of the tables had familiar groups sitting on it, like four people who knew each other. There were a couple of people who kind of sat by themselves at their own table I figured that was a choice. They were really good about bringing my dad in to meet some new residents there, but then other residents would come around. It was a nice community group and just outside of the dining room area was a large living room area with a TV and of course, it was Christmastime, and it was all decorated. This space was probably 30 x 50 with probably 15 plus tables in it, so when people would come in and sit down if they had their walkers, the attendants were great about pulling the walkers out of the way. If they had oxygen, they would leave the oxygen tank near them, but that way, people could get around and serve them and the walkers weren't in the way and as soon as they indicated that they were done, they wanted to go, the attendants were right there bringing their walkers back over and getting them settled or if they had a wheelchair or whatever. It didn't seem cluttered at all. Every day, they had something. Mondays and Wednesdays were set up for appointments that residents needed to go on. Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, they have shopping appointments. They were doing some watercolors or making Christmas cards or they have games or they bring in local chorale singers to do Christmas carols. They had something every day and even two or three things for the residents to do. They had bingo probably almost every day. They would have other games. They had activities they would do in the dining area and they would have several attendants. There were people that work there kind of managing each table and what the residents were working on. I didn't know if it was just because of the holidays that it seemed like there was a lot going on, but I'm going back in the next three weeks, so I'll get to see more of what they're doing, but I was impressed. I thought they had a lot to do. They have a spa, a salon, a center courtyard with a screened-in area, so they can go outside, a game room, and a computer room. There was another gathering area as well as the dining room. The condition of the place was pretty decent. It looked pretty good. They kept it up. I was expecting to see wheelchairs and stuff bang into the walls and things chipped, especially after Hurricane Ian, but I thought it looked well and everything was kept clean. I didn't see any water stains or issues from wear and tear. Based on a couple of places that I contacted, it was surprisingly more affordable than I was expecting. For what they do, I thought it was great.

Everything about Brookdale Port Charlotte was phenomenal. The staff was phenomenal as well. They were all pleasurable and approachable people. They were very knowledgeable and seemed like they cared for the residents there, and the residents were all happy, too. They all seemed to love the place. I just liked the setup. Everybody had their own room. They had lovely courtyards for the residents to go out and sit in. They're very, very nice.

Brookdale Port Charlotte was very nice. The facility was neat and clean. The rooms were also nice and it looks like they had lots of activities. There was a group playing cards and it seemed like they were having a lot of fun. The staff were nice, too. Several of them made an effort to come by, welcomed us, said hello, and asked if we had any questions while we were on the tour with the tour person. It was a pretty place. They had a game room and a nice dining room as well.

I liked the fact that Brookdale Port Charlotte had a nurse on call. The people were very attentive. Everyone wanted to meet Mom and talk to her when we were there. The place was very clean. The room she'll be getting has a living room, her bedroom, her own bath, and a little kitchenette. It's a small community an it's got a nice enclosed courtyard. They offer transportation. They go out on outings all the time and do lots of activities. It was the best fit.

My mother moved into Brookdale Port Charlotte. We chose this place because my sister was here last year. They have difficulty getting staff to work, but the people that are there are wonderful. The staff members are very friendly and helpful. They're doing as much as they can for everybody. They have bingo, arts and crafts, and card games. They have a recreational person who can drive the van, so they take them out on shopping trips and stuff. It's a very nice place.
