Brookdale Saginaw

Janet

We visited Brookdale Saginaw. The rooms were adequate. The big drawback was that they did not have the around the neck pendant call button. You can only use the pull chain on the wall. There wasn't a whole lot of amenities there. The dining area was nice, but seemed to be OK for the size of the facility. I never interacted with the staff other than the person that gave us the tour. It was very much like a home. It's small, but clean.

My tour with Brookdale was nice, but it was a little more expensive than what we could afford. It has a nice setup, is a lot smaller, and has nice rooms. They had basic furniture, but you could put in more to accessorize.

We chose Brookdale Saginaw for my mom because her brothers and sisters live in that area. They only have 18 to 20 residents, so the care and attention would be better. It’s a very pleasing and homey environment. The staff had a major turnover, and that is one of the reasons I am transferring her to a facility near my area. Also, the personal care has gone downhill because of that. During the summertime, their activities were very good. They have exercise classes in the morning. The food at this facility is alright but not really excellent. The primary reason for moving her out was the turnover in staff and the lack of follow-up with her health care. I do not get updated when they change her medications.

Just wanted to tell everyone what a wonderful experience we had with the way that Brookdale took care of my mother for the past 11 years. The staff was always respectful, caring and kind to her and as a family we never had to worry about the quality of care she was receiving. As her needs increased they worked with us to meet her new requirements. We were impressed that they exchanged staff between the assisted living and the Sterling House so that my mother knew some of the staff when she was moved, it made the transition much easier. My mother passed away this last week & it is comforting to know she was well taken care of. Thank you for everything. Julie Gavit, daughter of Joyce Boling

The staff and everything else at Sterling House of Saginaw was fine. It was just a smaller community, and it wasn't what we were looking for. The people from the staff that we talked to seemed fine.

Sterling House didn't look as clean as the other facility I visited. It was also very quiet. No residents were outside their rooms. We also didn't see any staff. We walked in, looked around and never saw any staff person.

When mom was in Sterling House, I thought the care was pretty good, but she was not doing very well. She got pneumonia a couple of times while she was there. They didn't have quite as many activities, but they had a dance and picnics.

I cant say one bad thing about this facility. It was clean and that staff there, in my opinion was very friendly and kind to the residents there. There was all kinds of activities happening and I do not believe anyone felt "out of place."
