Brookdale Eden Estates

What I like best about Brookdale Eden Estates would be the interaction of the staff with the residents, like calling them by names when they see them and engaging them in a little bit of conversation with them. The layout of the complex itself was kind of like a spoke, and that was beneficial. The staff was exceptional. Even if the location works the best, it's just too large for Mother, and there is not enough light and brightness to it. It tends to be a little dark and I don't mean dark in the negative way because it's in the wooded area. It's older and not quite the tall windows and everything, and my mother loves being out of the doors and out in the sunshine.

I went on a tour at Brookdale Eden Estates, which was wonderful. That was a beautiful, beautiful place. I talked to a lot of other people, the places are just gorgeous, the assisted living. Just driving in, it was just so lush and pretty and very well-maintained. We went into the foyer, into the entrance, everybody was very welcoming even the patron and even the people that lived there. They would say, "Hello, how are you?" It was very friendly and they showed us a couple of places. It was at first just my husband and me, and we took my dad later and they showed us an upstairs room. It was very reasonable. I was like, Wow, and it was perfect. It had a little kitchen area, a little living area, a bath, and a walk-in shower. The whole place was very clean, it didn't smell or anything like that. The dining room was gorgeous. Her name was Peggy, she showed us a menu. You just had your choice of whatever, and if that's not what you wanted, they would make something for you. If you want breakfast for supper or if you just wanted a burger, they said they would make it for you. But everything was just very well maintained, everybody was so nice and welcoming, and the place that we looked at would have been perfect for him. The only thing was that he's not able to walk downstairs, so that made it a safety issue. So they were going to have to find a place downstairs because it was too obvious, like in case of evacuation or whatever. But other than that, thumbs up for Brookdale. The staff was wearing masks, the patrons or patients there, some were wearing masks and some not. But you could tell that they were aware of the COVID. They were always cleaning. I'd see cleaning people wandering, it didn't smell, and to me, that tells me that they kept it clean.

I really liked Brookdale Eden Estates. Peggy showed us around, and she was wonderful. The one drawback was my father couldn't age in place there. He would have to move if he got worse. The room was good, and it would've worked. It just wasn't 100% sure of what we were looking for. It was nice, and I liked all the amenities and everything they had. The room had a kitchenette, a microwave, and a little fridge. They had a lot of activities, different gathering places, things scheduled on the calendar, exercises, and arts and crafts.

The tour we did at Brookdale Eden Estates was very nice. The lady that showed us through was just lovely, and she's called me a couple of times to follow up. It's just that at this point we're not ready to move my mother. Everybody was very friendly and seemed very professional. I have not tried the food, but it looked very appetizing. I liked the way they had it setup where there's table service, I think that's really nice. It's very comfortable and very clean. I thought that the room they showed us was very nice. It seemed to be a good size for assisted living. They had two assisted living spaces available, one was about 550 sq ft and the other one was 600. I don't think they have a pool, but we saw the recreation room and it was nice and adequate.

Brookdale Eden Estates was my favorite; I really liked it. Everybody was very nice. Their apartment was the biggest one that I looked at. I really liked it because it had a full working kitchen and it was the only one that had that, which was good. The dining area was very nice, and the outdoor area was very nice too. The community seemed very active. It was a younger crowd than all the others, and they seemed very active, which was very nice. The place was clean and well maintained.

My father-in-law is moving into Brookdale Eden Estates. It seemed pretty nice, the people seemed nice to be around, and the staff also. They have many things to do besides staying in the room, and they have a really nice dining facility. The food was pretty good, I liked it, and they had different things on different days. There is a computer room, a weight room/ exercise room, they can watch TV as a group, play games, shoot pool, and they have a swimming pool. The staff was very accommodating, helpful, and they answered all your questions.
