Brookdale Avondale was a little too small for my mom. The other residents were quite a bit older than my mother, so we ended up not choosing this one, but it was a very nice facility. The staff was amazing. My mom just felt like it wasn't a good fit for her just yet. The other reason I didn't choose this facility was the location, which is very close to 17, but the building was very nice. It was very safe, which I liked. The views out of the windows were all nice. The courtyard in the center was very nice.

The rooms at Brookdale Avondale were nice and spacious. I liked the fact that the staff was very knowledgeable, very polite, and very patient. The person that's in charge was very knowledgeable and provided all the information to me. Even the manager came up to us, introduced herself, welcomed us, and wished us luck. The meal was excellent, and the dining room was set up nicely. The residents looked very busy. I saw a reading nook, some were ready to go shopping, some were doing puzzles, and some were just relaxing while the staff was talking to them. The place was nice and reasonably priced.

We toured Brookdale Avondale. We scheduled a tour with a contact person there. We did not get to meet with him, but we did have someone step in to give us the tour. It was chaotic there, and it was hard to find my way around if they didn't tell me where I was. The cost was like $2000 cheaper, almost $3000 than where Mom is now. They had dogs on the premises, too. Some of the people that work there had their own dogs, they are used as comfort dogs, and that was nice. My mother loves dogs. They did a really good job on the tour. But they were a little discombobulated that they had to jump in and didn't know where the contact person was. It wasn't the worse I've seen, and it wasn't the best I've seen. It was just a little more chaotic maneuvering around in the hallways and such. We saw rooms that they had for show and such. They were nicely set up and nicely done. They did not look like a hospital room. It was nice. When you come in the front, you go straight ahead and there's a dining area and a sitting area. Down the hall from the front entrance down to the left are their offices, and there's an activity room. The facility is just average. Not the worse, but not the best.

Brookdale Avondale assisted living was one floor and no elevators. They had an outside garden area in the center of the facility. The dining room was more a place where they were served, and they were served on glassware. They were much smaller than the other ones I've been to. They had puzzles everywhere, and that's pretty much what they had. They also had little game activities that they did during the day, but that's pretty much all I know.

I loved Brookdale Avondale. They were very warm, and I liked how when you come in, they have the name set up to welcome you, so I felt very welcomed. I liked the fact that it was very clean. I liked the rooms. I liked the fact that they seemed very organized. There were some elderly people at a table playing cards, and they were very welcoming also. I liked the amenities, the therapy room, and the hair salon room. I just liked it all together overall. I liked the outside. I liked the fact that they had a refrigerator in the room, and a little kitchen area. I liked the living room area and the bedroom. I just liked everything about the actual apartment. It was very homey. The staff was very kind and gave us enough information. They had a reading area where they could sit and relax. They made it really nice, and it would really make the seniors comfortable.

We found Brookdale Avondale for my father. He already moved in there. It is closer, it isn't as big as a lot of other communities, and hopefully, everything goes well. The staff is pretty good, he likes the breakfast there, but they don't cook like his children cook. It's a good move-in experience. I like it because it's all on one level, it's very nice, it's not too big, and the rooms are perfect. He has his own private room and he has a sitting area. Everything is nice. They don't have the activities that they talked to us about due to them being in the quarantine for some time. It's pricey.

Our family was very happy with the care and attention given to our family member while she was living there. Her likes and needs were met and she was very content living at this facility. She felt like it was her home. Any questions or concerns were handled in a timely manner. The staff sincerely cares for their residents. We were always kept up to date on our family members health and well-being.

I was very impressed with Brookdale Avondale. It was very clean. The lady we talked to, Vivian, was very knowledgeable, helpful, and informative so we were very pleased with the visit. They were ideal for our purposes.
