Brookdale Gables Farmington was lovely. They have very nice grounds. A lot of the residents have a lot to say about how it's run. One of the ladies that was showing me around was telling me how some people that live there came to her and said "We have soda cans when we go and have our meals, but there's no place to recycle them. We'd like to have a recycling facility here, like containers and stuff." And they were able to start up their own facility for recycling their cans and that kind of stuff. So, I thought that was good. They listen to their residents. It seemed very nice. The apartments were very conducive. Not at all claustrophobic. They had just enough space. They all had full kitchens and full baths with grab bars. They were very appropriate for the people that would live there. It might have been lunchtime when we went there and the food smelled really good. There were still some residents that were sitting down having lunch and they seemed to be very satisfied. There was a variety of food on the menu. It wasn't just one menu. They have a daily menu, but they also have a recurring menu, one with foods that the majority of residents have asked for. They have certain items every day so that they're never without something that they like.

Brookdale Gables Farmington was right on the lake. It was a very nice atmosphere and you had a choice of foods. You don't have to have one meal every day. You have a choice and they cater to your diet needs. The apartments were very spacious and very nice. The one bedroom that we saw had a lot of sunshine coming in the windows. It was very nice and very clean. Then they had a two-bedroom apartment that was spacious and huge, but the one-bedroom was big enough for us. The staff was very nice and very professional. They have a beauty salon, a library, and a communal PC. They also have special rooms that if you do have an event, you could use that room or if you have a family that would come over to eat with you. They gave us lunch and it was good.

I went to Brookdale Gables Farmington. The tour was very well done. The person who gave us the tour was the assistant to the director, and he was very good, very personable, very friendly, and answered all of our questions. We saw their dining room, and he explained all of the meals. It's a very lively place and very energetic. You could feel the energy when you walked in, and it had a good vibe to it. The people seemed very friendly. We saw a lot of people. It was in between meals, but there were people in the halls, a lot of people around, much more so than I saw at other places. The activities were on full display. We didn't eat there, but it seemed like everybody liked the food. The rooms were very clean and set up very well. We mainly looked at studios. If you had to go from independent living to assisted living, they were structured in such a way that you did not have to leave your apartment. Their assistance came to you, which is kind of unusual for facilities that have multilevel care. Everything comes to you, and you don't have to leave where you are.

Brookdale Gables Farmington was very nice. My dad loved the staff during the tour and thought the people were great, but it was a dated-looking facility and he didn't like that. The hallways were small. The rooms were also smaller than we were looking for and not as easily accessible for, but then again the staff was fabulous, friendly, very courteous and full of information. They had a nice fishing pond in the back. So the outdoor area was very pretty if you're mobile enough to go outside. They had social hours, too.

Brookdale Gables Farmington was a great location. I looked at a two-bedroom, one-bath apartment that had a small stove but no dishwasher. You also had to do your own cable. They provide you with two meals though (dinner plus one other meal) and if you want guests to stay, it costs $100 a day to rent a suite for them if it was available. The grounds were beautiful. The facility was gorgeous. It's almost like walking into a vacation resort, but expensive. The people that I spoke with were lovely. However, they would not come to the tables and take an order for you. You had to go through a line. It was cafeteria style, which I did not like. Almost everyone that I saw there was using a rollator or a walker. They would assist you with getting your stuff to the table if you needed help, but you still had to go through the line and get your food now. I think these few things that I didn't like are not big problems for others. It's just my personal choice.

We are choosing Brookdale Gables Farmington for my parents. We had a great tour of the place. The staff was on time and they were friendly. I liked the layout of the building. And the lake view, I think it's a very peaceful calm setting. The apartments need a little bit of updating, but they're clean and have a sufficient amount of space. The dining room looked very nice. It seems like they have a lot of activities going on over there.
