Emeritus at Brookhurst

I visited this facility

One of the reasons that we are considering Emeritus at Westminster for my mother was affordability. Another reason was the caring manner of staff when they responded to my inquiry and attended to us during our visit. We met a lot of their staff, from the kitchen staff to the reception staff. The director gave us a personal tour and everybody was very kind, very considerate, and they seemed very caring. It was a great tour. We had a meal there and the food was excellent.

The food at Emeritus Brookhurst looked and smelled great. The staff was great, too. But it's not a locked down facility, and just did not fit my needs.

Brookhurst is a very nice community with a caring staff and wonderful residents.

Originally, I was skeptical about moving my grandma into assisted living care, but after researching online and paying a visit to Emeritus, I gladly changed my mind about the whole thing.When we arrived there, the staff was nothing less than angelic. They saw that we were skeptical and unsure about the place and they were extremely helpful in explaining the facility and providing us with a full tour. They were kind, eager to help, and extremely cheerful. They really set the tone of the place to be warm and vacation-y, which helped quicken the pace of recovery. The healing there was incredible. Overall I am extremely satisfied with the services that they provided and I knew that my grandma was in good care. What ever she needed and when ever she needed something, nurses were at her beck and call and they were happily obliging to help her out. I would definitely recommend Emeritus to anyone who is doubtful and you will not regret your decision at all.

Emeritus at Brookhurst is an amazing facility. It has a castle-style building exterior and interior, with lush beds and dining tables/chairs. This was more like a modern castle than any type of elderly care facility that I have ever been to.

They had rehabilitation nurses on staff to take care of my client from a fall that he had before he entered the facility - and he was very impressed with how the staff members treated him and his visitors. The staff seemed very professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate toward the clients that were staying there.

The rooms were also decorated very nicely, looking more like a lush apartment than a hospital room - as many elderly care places do.

I would highly recommend Emeritus.

After searching numerous facilities in the Westminster, Huntington Beach and Fountain Valley areas for an assisted living home for my father, we found Emeritus. Emeritus was clean, open and airy. It truly was like having your own apartment but the comfort of knowing there was a qualified staff around to help Dad with every need. He could stay in his own apartment and still receive delicious meals, help with bathing, housecleaning, shopping and organizing his medications. The apartments are large, well lit and had all the extra supports you would hope for in an assisted living facility, walk in showers, safety rails, intercoms, etc. For our family, Emeritus was the perfect place to give Dad the independence he desired along with the assistance he needed for our peace of mind. When we began our search of a facility, the staff at Emeritus helped us find the right program to fit all of Dad's needs, but more importantly treated us all with respect and kindness. Dad never felt like he was getting put somewhere, this was in part his decision also. Emeritus was a great facility and a great place to call home.

My sister and I searched several Assisted Living Facilities before deciding on Emeritus at Brookhurst for my father. From the first tour we took of the facility to the day we moved our father in, we were so impressed with the staff. Everyone was so very kind and courteous with all of us, but they especially went out of their way to make my father feel welcome and alleviate any of his fears. A year later, we continue to be very pleased with the caring staff, the amenities offered and the cleanliness of the facility. Each time we visit my father is well groomed, the room is clean and the staff is able to keep us up to date on his medical and physical needs. Additionally, the grounds and the buildings are bright, cheerful and well-maintained. My father is also happy that his room looks like a miniature apartment and not a hospital room.Recently, when my father had to be hospitilized for a minor operation, two of the staff members visited him in the hospital to see how he was doing and to ask if we needed anything. When they say that they treat all of their guests as family, they truly mean it. Making the decision to place our father in assisted living was so difficult, but knowing they he is safe and well cared for is priceless.
