Brookdale Colonial Park has very nice and large kitchenettes. That sold me on the place and I have a unit with a beautiful view into the woods. They also have a large closet space. They have 24-hour nursing care on staff and all the staff are very friendly. I enjoyed 98% of the meals. Today, we had mashed potatoes with gravy, lightly buttered green beans, and Salisbury steak with gravy. The meat was tender and good and there was fresh fruit for dessert. They always have very nice tossed salads for lunch. Five days a week, they have exercises in the mornings at 9:30 and games throughout the week. They have socials with or without alcohol at 3:00, just about every day for five days a week. They also welcome guests and family members to share meals without cost. They have a very nice library.

We liked Brookdale Colonial Park a lot because everything was one on floor and it was a very big facility. When we looked at it from the outside, it didn't look that big, but when we went inside, it was huge and there was a lot to do. The sizes of the rooms were very nice. The staff were also very nice and very helpful. They already had the stuff in the room and I liked the refrigerator. Most of the places that we saw had very, very small refrigerators, but this one was maybe four feet. It was a good size and we were very impressed with that. They provide you with a microwave, too, which is very nice. The woman I met was great. She was very informative. I liked what she said, that if you're looking for champagne and chandeliers, this isn't the place, but if you're looking for a place where you're being taken care of, then this is where you want to be. I like that because we're not there for champagne and chandeliers. We're here to get the best care possible.

We toured and liked Brookdale Colonial Park. We liked the rooms or apartments, they were nice. They have activities, church services, and a lot of things. It was a toss-up between this place and the other one. But it's going to cost us for all the extras, like if my loved one needed a wheelchair to take her down to her meals and all that stuff. The staff who gave me the tour was great, she's very upfront and honest with us about everything. I called her several times and asked her questions, and she was right there to answer them. Their amenities were nice and we were impressed with them a lot.

Brookdale Colonial Park had a lot of trees around it. It's very homey looking, and there were a lot of people sitting outside and conversing. I thought that was very nice. The apartment I have seen there was large. They had some that were just a little over 600 square feet, and it had separate bedrooms, which I liked. It was very nice. They don't put anything in colors, though, as far as the apartments. The dining room and things like that are painted in colors, but the rooms are all in either white or eggshell. The person who assisted me, was very nice. She's called me several times since and invited me over. I went over there, and they were having a little special meeting about how to get people moved from one place to another to get them in there. They have a couple of different people that spoke, and they were telling them how to sell things in your home to get the move going and things like that. Then they had a nice little luncheon to go with it. They're very nice, very warm, and friendly there. They seem to have a lot of activities. The people were all over, you see them inside and outside. They seem to like it there, and they tell them "You're not just in a room, the whole place is yours, it belongs to you." The food that I ate for the luncheon was delicious. We had some chicken salad sandwiches and croissants. They made some nice desserts and drinks; it was very nice. They seem to keep it up well. It's an older building, but they keep it painted and keep it up nice and clean.

I liked my tour at Brookdale Colonial Park. The staff seemed very nice, and the facility also seemed nice. It could use a little sprucing up. It shows some normal wear and tear on the carpet and stuff like that. I had a comfortable feeling there, and it's one of the places I would consider. I saw a 1-bedroom apartment that was really nice and a good size. The building itself was good. I have no complaints about that. The food and dining area looked just like a restaurant type area. I get the feeling of going into a restaurant. We checked their activity center, and I had a pretty good tour of their outdoor courtyards that were nice.

Brookdale Colonial Park was an older facility, but it's very clean and my parents liked it because it's small. It had a very nice family feel. They had a maximum of 110 people and that was appealing. It's all on one level. No elevators or anything to deal with. Everyone was very nice on our tour, and I've been on the phone several times with the sales director, and they even took food to my parents' house to have them try the food. Because of Covid, they aren't letting people in, so I thought that was very nice. We're just overall pleased. We liked the location, and everyone was nice. We met the director, the nurse, and the activities director and he was very outgoing and very nice. It sounded like they had a lot going on. Everyone we met was nice. We even talked to a few of the residents. Everyone that we spoke with was happy. It seemed genuine; it's not like they were planted there. They were having an exercise class when I did the virtual tour, which they do in the morning. We also went there. It was after lunch and it was a little quiet, but a lot of people were sitting around outside. They had beautiful outside spaces and they had movie nights and cocktail hour almost every day in the afternoon. Even during Covid, they had a big screened-in porch for the residents, and once in a while they'll bring entertainment in the wooded area away from the building. They'll have somebody come and sing and entertain, so they're not in the building and they're not near the residents. They haven't had any Covid, so that was a plus, that's why we're leaning towards going there. I took my parents to look at it. We went into the available apartments and looked. It's a little dated and could use some updating as far as furniture and maybe painting and lighting, but it's kept very well. They both liked the food. I liked it a lot because it had four hallways off the center, main room, dining room, and activity room, so it's easy access. If you live down one hallway, you don't have to walk far away.
