Thank you for your review of our community. Since your visit back in 2011, there have been numerous changes. I started as the Executive Director in March 2012. Since starting my role, the community common areas and resident rooms are kept clean and tidy. As far as the caregiver smoking outside the dining room , this is actually a caregiver that was hired by a particular family member and we have addressed this issue with the particular agency. The menu for breakfast was changed on a regular basis per Brookdale policy, however, we always offered eggs and an accompanying meat plus toast and fruit to those who chose this instead of the pancakes, French toast, etc. The cereal, either hot or cold, was an additional part of the breakfast. Also, we customize the breakfast offerings dependent on the individual preferences of the residents. Some of our residents have very specific breakfast routines and we do our best to honor their preferences. The courtyard is enclosed and lush now and is safe for wandering residents who enjoy it daily. We have multiple entertainers that visit the community including singers, dancers and classical piano players. Our management team has an open door policy and families are welcome to bring suggestions and ideas to better the quality of life our residents. We have a wonderful team that is dedicated to serve our residents. We feel that the necessary changes have been made and many families see the positive changes. Most of the year, we have been 100% occupied and we often work from a small wait list. I want to personally invite you back to the community to have lunch so we can go over the changes we have made and seek an opportunity to update your review.
