My mother is in Brookdale Olney. They have a welcome committee before you move in to just sit down and talk to you about what you and your family members are going to get, talk to the chef, talk to the maintenance person, talk to the nurse, and talk to the finance people. This meeting is about two hours long. You get to ask questions, anything that you need, what they offer, what they won't offer. The rent doesn't change, but the level of care may change, which means that your overall cost may increase. I love Brookdale so far. The renovation was exceptional. It was so bright and airy. The rooms are nice and clean. They have a kitchenette with a refrigerator and a kitchen counter with things to store. The care providers are so caring and loving. You have activities 24/7 and many of the residents who live there were running around trying to get to their next activity. They are busy doing something. It gives you almost 24/7 food. If you are hungry at night, all you had to do is contact somebody. The activities are constant. There is not a day that there is not at least two to three activities that are going on, and that's Saturday and Sunday as well. They have arts and crafts, games, and bingo all the time. They have speakers come in and they have conversations. It doesn't necessarily have to be politics. It may be a view on how you feel about the schools today or something of that sort. They may have a person come in to talk about what is happening with senior citizens. They have musical activities where they have someone come in and perform, but they get the residents involved in the singing. They have different-sized rooms. The medium room is a full bedroom. You can get a full size or a queen size in that room, and you can have a dresser and a chair. It has the kitchenette, which is a counterspace with a small refrigerator then you have the vanity area in the bathroom. That's one that I would have had my mother purchase, but she insisted on separation, which is a larger room where it has a sitting area that has a wall divider from the bedroom itself. She has a queen size bed and we'll put a nightstand and a dresser in there. She still has the kitchenette. She has the vanity and the bathroom accessibility where the vanity is outside, but the toilet and the shower are behind the door. She has a living area, which is very spacious. We're going to put a small loveseat there and her reclining chair and a television. It's bright. They have hardwood floors, and most of it, except for the bedroom has the carpeting. The bathrooms are very spacious. You can step into the shower. My mother was not even assessed in memory care at Brookdale. She has a mild case of dementia. She forgets things, but she is not in memory care. They listen to her and let her talk. She gets a newspaper. The chef laid out a menu and wanted to know what mom likes, what she doesn't like, and what she's allergic to. I haven't really tasted the food, but just the cordial reception of really listening and wanting to make sure that they are happy with the food that they eat, it made me feel comfortable. It's right on the perimeter of Olney community and they are three-tenths of a mile away from the Montgomery General Hospital and about the same from the closest shopping center that has all kinds of shops and the grocery store. The CVS is there, Walgreens and different restaurants. It's so convenient to all of the different areas. I really like it. They have a movie room, an exercise area, a salon, and an activity room. They have a music area where they have a piano. They have a private dining hall if you have celebration for your family. This dining area is beautiful. They have several tables that are covered with white linen and beautiful chairs. It's a beautiful ambiance. They treat you as though you're in a restaurant. They come to your table and take your order. They have a room that will host about 15 people or more for special events. The kitchen is right outside of the dining area, so you see people going in and coming out with whatever order you've made. It has another casual eating area set up like a restaurant with chairs and tables. This is more or less where they fix smoothies, sandwiches, hot dogs, hamburgers, things like that. Cleanliness is really good. I just talked to the maintenance guy yesterday. You can call him at any time. Once everything is in and things are painted, they still do a thorough cleaning. It's almost like sanitizing the room. The room is $6000 plus the level of care, which is like $1400, so it's $7000 cheaper than what I'm paying at the other place.

I really like Brookdale Olney. It was my second choice. They were definitely experienced. I really liked James who toured me around. He was warm and very informative and spent a lot of time with me, which I appreciated. I really liked the activities director. He was working with some of the residents when I was there, and he was great. He had a lot of energy and a good sense of humor. I like the facility because it's kind of a wooded setting with some nice outdoor space. The rooms were spacious. I liked it a lot, it was just a little far.

We have chosen Brookdale Olney for my dad. I would say it's kind of midsize. It's not too big, so it allows for a little more observation of what's going on with the residents. They have nice-sized rooms. There's a shared bathroom with 2 separate bedrooms, at least that's the only one I've had the opportunity to see. They have a courtyard or I would call it a deck, and it's a nice outdoor area. The staff is kind and very willing to talk to the family. They have activities on memory care, and that's what I wanted because I want my dad involved. And the gentleman that runs them, Ray, is very good. They do karaoke, little games, and arts and crafts.

We toured Brookdale Olney. It was very nice. The units were very nice. They were kept up very well, and they were very clean. They've been taken good care of and they weren't looking old or anything, so they were good.

Brookdale Olney is a very beautiful facility. It's very clean. I have a pretty keen nose and I didn't smell anything. The staff was very welcoming. The dining area is on the main level and they have menus. They have it set up for like a fine dining experience for the seniors and I thought that was nice. They get to choose from a menu. I met the activities director. He was actually at the front desk when I arrived, but I didn't know who he was at the time. He does arts and crafts. He helps them with the movies. He helps them with their worship experience no matter what faith they are. He can help them set up if there's something they want to watch for their spiritual enrichment. They have barbecues. They have a movie night and a popcorn machine for them. On Sunday, he makes them desserts. The chef does the barbecuing and stuff like that. I was very impressed. They had a list of activities. They keep them busy. I was very impressed. The young woman who did the tour was excellent. She was really good. She was a former caregiver herself. She did well at listening to me and what my mom's needs were.

I've toured Brookdale Olney, it's beautiful. I didn't think it needed to be, but they're redoing the carpets, the chairs, the tables, and everything. They showed me the colors that they were going to use and the fabrics and everything, so I was impressed. The room that I saw was big enough. I went and looked at two, I saw a companion suite with one occupant and it looked big enough for everything that my husband would want. They share one bathroom. I was impressed with everyone that was there, James was extremely full of information and very personable. When we stepped off the memory care floor, there was the psychiatrist and personal care nurse who did the evaluation. So I spoke with them for a while too, and I got very interesting information, so that was good. They had just finished eating, and the staff showed me the dining area for both memory care and assisted living. They had a separate dining area for memory care up on the top floor. They had tables and chairs, it was a little cafeteria-style place, and they had a person that serves the food. The menu looks reasonable, they said they have three or four snacks a day and they could get something to eat any time during the day, so that was nice. They also said that he could keep a refrigerator and a microwave in his room.

I've decided to keep my wife at Brookdale Olney. As far as I can tell, the staff is doing a good job of keeping her safe and providing for her needs. The food is good. It tends to be a little repetitive after you've been there for a while. But overall, it's good. They have activities every day. They have an activity director who does things with the residents, some of which my wife takes part in and some she doesn't. The facilities are good. They take care of them. They keep them up. They just recently did a lot of painting inside. And as far as I can tell, they do a good job of maintaining their facilities.

We visited Brookdale Olney, the residence was absolutely beautiful, welcoming, and warm. We met the activities director, he had so much energy and you could tell that the residents enjoyed participating in different activities with him. He was awesome. The rooms were a little bit smaller than what we had wanted, but they seemed very accommodating in terms of being able to modify a closet or change things to suit what the resident needs. This place is our second choice. The staff also seemed great.
