My mother will be moving into Brookdale Lake Ridge. I like the fact that the people were all very nice. I didn't meet one single angry, or objectionable person. I just don't like the cost. The cost is outrageous. The staff was very professional, very nice people. I looked at four or five different rooms, and they had models for each of them, and they're all very well appointed. Even the single rooms are quite large and very comfortable. There are people just sitting around asleep in their wheelchairs. There are other people playing games and laughing and having fun. They make it so that you can do whatever you want. You can enjoy everything they have to offer or you can just sit and vegetate. They have a rather lengthy schedule of activities. I was there during lunch. Their lunch looked great. There were staff helping people pick out food. In my mother's case, she's blind. There's someone there to read the menu to her. We didn't eat the food, but every day they have a printed menu and different food and different desserts. No two days are the same consecutively. It's quite an extensive menu. The dining area looked very bright. It had a whole wall of windows. It was very clean. It looked like a professional restaurant. They provide a shuttle bus to anything that the resident wants to do, like shopping center, movies, and doctors. There are several medical centers around. It's close to a major shopping centers, so there's a lot to do. Most of the people don't drive, but they have shuttle buses that take them wherever they need to go. So far, I've been very, very impressed. I didn't eat there, but from what I saw, the food all looked very tasty and very well prepared. It's an older facility, but it looked brand new. They just rehabbed it, so it looked very nice.

We did a tour of Brookdale Lake Ridge. The people that we interacted with were very knowledgeable and friendly. They had been in the care business for a long time. The facility was nice, clean, and organized. They had slightly bigger rooms. The staff who showed us around seemed very knowledgeable. She gave us a lot of details, and showed us the rooms, the dining area, and the dementia center. She was very helpful.

My mother was supposed to move into Brookdale Lake Ridge, but she passed away. The staff was very knowledgeable. They seemed like they knew the residents when we walked by them, and they were very friendly. Everybody remembered her name when we came in to move the stuff. They seemed very caring. Very clean, very big, and up-to-date. It would have been easily accessible for her, they had a good selection of rooms, three different types of rooms that we could use for the studio. So you didn't just have one studio, you had like two or three different types of studios that you could pick from. The dining area was very big and very clean, and it looked more like a restaurant setting. And they even had a separate dining room, if you had a lot of families in, you could set aside a room for you, so all of your family could go in the room with you. They had a nice wraparound porch. They had a big area outside where they had a fire pit and barbecue that you could sit outside during the good weather, they could set a fire pit and you could have family, or they could have a barbecue and they play games outside. One of the times I went there, they were taking residents out to do a field trip. So when you go walking into the main entrance, there's a piano sitting there and from like 10 to 12 or something like that, I think it's like on Monday, Wednesdays and Thursdays, three days a week, they have a pianist come in and play the piano. So there's usually people and it's open to the second level, so there's like a second level where you can walk around with a library. So even if you're sitting upstairs at the library, you can hear the music from downstairs to upstairs. And a lot of people were sitting there listening to the piano.

I went to Brookdale Lake Ridge, and I saw the facility. It was clean, it was welcoming, and it was organized. Nice décor, nice setting, and convenient. They had a calendar of events that went on for the day. I got to see a menu. It was good food and good choices. I only got to see a studio where you walk into a bed. It was fine. It had what you needed. It's nice. It isn't my mom's home, but it was nice. We went into a dining room, not a cafeteria type of place. It was a dining room with tables and chairs. It was clean, and it was nice. It wasn't too big or too crowded. Then they had the activity room. When I went there, they were having an exercise or a dance in your chair kind of class. They had the TV going. They had a very energetic instructor, and then they had an entire counter of what looked like activities with a table where you could do puzzles or cards or whatever. It was good.

Brookdale Lake Ridge just received the U.S. News and Report number one memory care for the region award this week. They were notified of it so that is excellent for me. I would say everything about the place was top-notch and excellent. They have a very good schedule of activities. There are only 19 residents in this facility so there is a lot of attention being given to the residents because of that smaller number of people. All of the residents were out of their rooms in the activities when I observed them during my tour. I talked with the activities director and she emphasized that they concentrate on individuals. They pay attention to details with individuals' interests and skills and they do not allow the residents to stay in their rooms. They encourage them and pretty much all of them are out in activities every day, all day long. They use the outdoor courtyard for that. There is a nice outdoor courtyard that is attached to the memory unit and she said that they use that very frequently to take the residents outdoors so that was something positive about it. The physical building and the memory care unit itself were excellent, very beautiful, very luxurious, and very light and bright.

Brookdale Lake Ridge was a beautiful place. It's a great place for seniors. They have all the amenities. It's very neat and very clean, and they've got very nice people and are very welcoming. All the amenities were there for them. It was definitely a very nice place to visit. I saw the menus, but I didn't see or taste the food. They've got beautiful rooms, very well kept, spotless, and very nice. They have games, movie nights, and yesterday there was a potato chip tasting thing going on. They have daily activities. It's a very, very nice place. The only reason it wouldn't fit for my mother is because I think at 99, she wouldn't mix well because of her age and how she gets around now, but it's a lovely place. Anyone that goes there will be very pleased, and it's not large, which is a plus. They only had 60 residents at the time. It's very nice to know that there's not a lot of people there.

I went to Brookdale Lake Ridge. It's nice. It is pleasant to be in a place where the people and staff are cheerful. It's nice for the residents to have activities. The dining room looks nice. I think it was the director who showed me around. It might have been the woman in charge of sales. She was quite nice and very pleasant to the residents. I could picture her interacting with my wife in a nice way that's important. The facilities were quite nice.

My mother liked Brookdale Lake Ridge because of the diversity. They had men and women there, and they had all different nationalities and backgrounds. She felt very comfortable there. While she was doing the tour, some of the residents embraced her and told her that this was a great place to live and she enjoyed them. If they're willing to come out and say this is a great place to live, then they must mean it. The staff during the tour was very professional and very knowledgeable, had worked there for several years, and gave us a very nice tour. My mother liked the facility and she liked the size of the rooms. You can have pets there, so she liked that as well. They had a garden outside. They do all types of activities all day and my mom enjoyed it. I saw a studio. It was a two-room kind of apartment, but they called it a studio. It was nicely laid out. When you walk in, you walk into the kitchen. They had a full kitchen and then you walk into your front room and then you have storage and closet space. Then you have your bedroom in the back, however, you want to set it up, but she liked it.

I went to Brookdale Lake Ridge. They had a lot to offer. The visiting hours are good. I asked about the COVID testing for visitors, they answered all the questions, and they were outstanding. They have RNs on site which is great and they're licensed by the state. The place was very neat, very clean. The people seemed to be very content. Everybody seemed to be happy. So I was very comfortable there. I thought it was great. We just couldn't afford it because it was a little bit out of my sister's price range. I would recommend friends and family to it. The staff is very friendly, very professional. I visited the cafeteria and I looked at the menus and all that, but I didn't get to eat.

I toured Brookdale Lake Ridge for my parents, and I liked it very much. It was very well kept. The issue is it's private, and it's a lot of money. It was beautiful and well run, and they had really good, tenured staff. It was clean and it smelled good, and I think that matters in the world of care facilities. They had a multitude of activities that the people living there could do, from gardening to cooking lessons to beer tastings. I was really, really surprised and happy. But overall, the level of cleanliness was outstanding. I saw the assisted living. The memory care was a different section, which I guess we could not walk around due to COVID. The staff were really outstanding and they're all friendly. I observed all the people having lunch. The food looked good and well prepared, everyone looked happy, and they were kind of socializing while having their lunch. They had pretty good customer service on the phone too. Their up-front personnel were good, and their phone follow up was good too.

Brookdale Lake Ridge's memory care community has been outstanding. My wife is there. It's smaller, I think it's well run and the aides are very caring. My experience has been very good. It's well-kept but it's older. There's always a lot of activities going on though. When I'm over there or when they do FaceTime calls with me, I get from my wife's private aide that they have activities they participate in. The price is significantly cheaper too compared to the other ones we have looked at. I'm very pleased with the care my wife gets.

I visited Brookdale Lake Ridge in person, but they only let you peep into the front door, and they take you around the back near the basement in the room. They showed us a couple units. From what I saw, it looked nice and clean, and when they took us downstairs to the basement it was nice. The outside was also nice. I like that it's close to all of our current doctors, it's close to where I live, and it fits the budget. The meals are included. She even wanted us to come for lunch. They will take the residents to their doctors' appointments, which is really important.

The staff at Brookdale Lake Ridge is very positive, very involved, very caring, and they make certain that you feel comfortable. I've had more calls from them in the last two weeks than I've had from the last place that my aunt was in, and she was there a year. They offer them activities from morning until night. There's always people out and about, and there's always somebody from the community there with those individuals. I can't say enough good things about it. They have a menu they choose from every day, and the food is really good. We're paying less money now than we were before for a whole lot more service and attention.

Brookdale Lake Ridge had the best deal of all the places I looked at. Their regulations for the staff are much more rigid because they do fingerprints and background checks. All CNAs have to take a licensing exam, not just a certification, and they have to come from a reputable school. The senior management staff is very good. I am very pleased with the staff because they are really good in working out accommodations. They also have an activities director that's phenomenal, so the seniors always have something to do every day. The place is just as good as the management. They have a chef there that cooks food that tastes 5-star restaurant quality. He is phenomenal. They have a very diverse population there, which is good. It is also important for Brookdale that their residents know the names of the staff on their floor.

My wife has been at Brookdale Lake Ridge for almost three years now. The place itself is great. The only problem that I have ever had is that the staff changes so rapidly. I had already established a good rapport with the director of wellness and then all of a sudden, he's gone. I didn’t know that he was gone until I asked three weeks later, which left me with not knowing who to discuss any problems that my wife had. Instead, I went and talked to the nurse, Samantha, who was extremely helpful, but one day I went to talk to Samantha, and they told me that she too was gone. My wife had a stroke and couldn’t go to the dining room, so they used to bring the food to her room. They never asked her what she wanted and never brought her a menu until after Christmas because I complained. Then they started to bring her the menu so that she could pick the entrees and side dishes that she would like to have. It’s been much better for the last three months. They bring in people who sing and do bingo, show movies, or have entertainment in the front lobby. The front lobby is always full of activity, which is not as conducive to the residents as if you had a special place to have those activities. It is always in the middle of the traffic. Other than that, the permanent staff is very nice and very understanding. My wife needs help bathing and sometimes they forget. Two weeks went by and my wife didn’t get her bath. When I started to complain, the guy was gone and I didn’t know who to talk to.

I looked at six facilities and of the ones I looked at, the one I liked the most was Brookdale Lake Ridge. The staff seemed very attentive and knew everybody by name. The studio rooms were very roomy, had nice windows, and seemed to be very bright. They repainted the place and cleaned the carpets before my father-in-law moved in. They had on-site physical therapy and activities throughout the day. There’s a beauty shop and barber shop on the facility. It seemed to be a very nice place.

I love Brookdale Lake Ridge, but it is not a place I could ever afford to go to. The monthly fee is more than I make in Social Security. The residents were mostly retired military government workers. I really like that place. Everything is very neat and clean. The staff is very friendly. They have transportation if you can’t drive. The clientele is somewhat older, at least 15 to 20 years older than I am. But walking in the door, it’s a very elegant place. For those who need additional or extra help, they generally have two-door rooms, and the outside area is enclosed so people could still go outside, but they can’t get out. They have the park benches outside and a little garden area.

We went to Brookdale Lake Ridge and saw that the place was not well maintained. They had overflowing waste cans and a lot of debris in their yard. It looked a little rundown, but overall, it was OK. The people looked friendly, and the staff was cooperative and nice.

Brookdale seemed like a very nice place, but I didn't really see a whole lot. It was very nice. We didn't see many people, unfortunately. Everybody was very nice and very pleasant. We didn’t have an opportunity to meet residents or to tour around much. The four-star rating may be unfair; it could be much higher if we had seen more.

The apartment was probably could have some more storage, but it does have a closet and shelves in the bathroom, which is a nice option. It has new carpet and new paint. The facility is being remodeled, and that's nice. It is fresh and bright. They have been receptive to try to meet our needs; it has been a positive experience. I also like that they have a hydration station. They have afternoon snacks available, and they have water machines, coffee, and cake as well. They also have an old-fashioned popcorn machine, so there's always popcorn that people can grab. They have fresh fruits, orange juice, cranberry juice, apple juice, and lemonade. They seem to have a good social calendar. My mom is not up to taking part with it right now, but they do have activities. They have a couple of different music programs in the dining room that looks well attended.

She was here for a year, and I wasn't happy with that, so I took her out of there and brought her home. First of all, my mother is basically Spanish speaking, the community didn't have too many people that speak Spanish, and my mother doesn't speak English. I put her there till her funds were running out and I couldn't afford to continue. The rooms were like closets, very small, and good only for a twin-sized bed and a dresser. The food was good, but they would just put the plate there, and if she ate, she ate; if she didn't, she didn't. I never saw her participate in any activity. She was always in her room. It was a nice place. It really is, but I don't really think that they fit her medical needs or anything like that.

I would say it probably needs more lighting. It seemed a little bit darker. The lighting is a little bit dimmer. I would recommend it to have brighter and more cheery lighting. Otherwise the patients seemed like they were being cared for by the staff. The staff seemed like they were engaged. They were friendly and helpful. My biggest thing is that it is clean and smells clean.

What I like about it is that they had all the amenities that we needed. It was virtually brand new and it was reasonable in terms of proximity to my own home. The staff there was genuinely concerned and very helpful. I was there when the residents were finishing up their meals; they seemed to be satisfied, contented and pleased with it. For activities, they have bingo and other group games. I think they have sing-alongs and a variety of religious observances. They were excellent.

They seemed to have pretty good activities. The best thing about them is I think the people that I talked seemed really sincere and they did a good job of following up.

People were accommodating as far as showing up. I always want to go into the memory care units because I know that's where my mom is headed for sooner or later. So that's really my big interest on how it is in there. They have a good one. They have two memory care levels and one of them is closed up because one of them had some kind of a virus. I like their setup. My mother likes the garden and get outside a little bit. They certainly have an area where you can go outside, just relax and do a little bit of gardening. They had a really good setup. But the location was really busy. I wasn't comfortable with the spot. It was close to the road and everything.

I am a friend or relative of a resident

I am a part-time, private duty caregiver and one of my dear friends was placed in this facility when her family could no longer provide 24hr care. My family and I visit her at least one Sunday a month and fine the place to be quiet, clean, and brightly lit. Whenever we visit, there is some activity going on in the main reception area. This can range from the residents watching a movie, participating in a joyous selection of hymnals or they may be dining. Several occasions, we have come at a time when a nursing sister was in the midst of providing care. I observed from at least three different nurses that they had developed a good rapport with my friend. On our last visit, one of the nurses came in to tell my friend that her alert light was on and offered her assistance. During that conversation, my friend mentioned that she wanted her hair combed and the nurse said she would gladly come back to do it later. All in all, I think my friends daughter made the right choice in putting her in a place where she is truly cared for.
