I visited this facility

Brooks-Howell Home is a very different facility. It's older, but I like it. It's a more established community. It's a very different kind of community. It's more of an ala carte, so you pay for the meals that you want to receive. I appreciated the staff that I interacted with. The apartments themselves were very nice. For me, I also like the proximity to my home. The staff who toured me was lovely. It's a beautiful campus. There's a courtyard. It's in the woods, there's plenty of acreage, and there are some walking trails.

I am a friend or relative of a resident

My friend has been very comfortably placed at Brooks Howell. As far as I know, it has all the different levels so if you go in at one level and you need stepped up care, you can stay there and you'd be given more care. She needed to be in the nursing home. She couldn't cook her own meals. She can dress herself and she is allowed to be taken out. I wanted to take her out to church in some days and they were very careful to make sure they got her sister's permission. They had good methods. Then when I was allowed to take her out, they're happy to see me and they're pleased she's getting out. I have to sign her and then sign her out so I like the way the home is run. When we've taken her to church, it's been over lunch time. As soon as we've got back, they brought her dinner, too. They asked her before she left what she wanted. As soon as she got back, they brought it to her room for her as they've already eaten. I know some people who have Alzheimer's or some level of dementia. They look after them as well. I have actually volunteered there some years ago that's how I was familiar with this. It's lovely, clean and very friendly. She has her own bedroom and her own bathroom with very cozy fire. It's been nice and warm but not too warm, I think very comfortable. I have another friend who has someone in there and she's been very pleased as well. I think they have activities and they're quite varied. Sometimes they're making things. Sometimes, it's entertainment and they have a very nice dining room so Helen is able to get up and go to her meals. I think she can have them brought, too, if she's not feeling well.

My grandmother is being taken care of by a great staff of physical therapists and attendants. She has several programming events to participate in per day and she seems to be comfortable in her living situation

This retirement home is a great place for my grandparents. They currently live in their own home on the premises, where they are surrounded by neighbors, all of who have served in the Methodist Church. The best thing about this place is that they have their own home and can maintain their independence, but with certain services that make us (their family) and them feel better. For example, there is a yearly full cleaning of the house. Gardening and maintenance is taken care of (unless they want to do it themseleves). In addition, there is an assisted living home right in the same complex. They are able to visit with those that are not in as good of health as they are. And, if something should happen, there are pulleys and an intercom system in their home. Should they need additional assistance, they already know the staff and can even move into the assisted living space without having to transition communities or space. They are very happy there.
