We toured Brookdale Kettleman Lane. The staff answered all of my questions. She's very nice and very helpful. The facility was very clean. It didn't have any odor. It was very nice.

We toured Brookdale Kettleman Lane. Memory care is a separate building from assisted living, and because I was looking for memory care, I actually liked that better because it was its own building. The cleanliness and the security were good, and the rooms were nice. They have a lot of open spaces for people to gather. I was able to meet more of the staff, and everybody was helpful and knowledgeable when I had any questions.

Brookdale Kettleman Lane appears to be a warm, caring community. It's a standalone community where it's a building that is just memory care. My husband likes to be busy and likes to do things outside and they have a rather large outside area which would suit him well. However, the showers are outside of rooms, and they're pretty far away. So I don't know if my husband is going to be able to learn to go there on his own. And I see him being escorted, which is an additional cost of several hundred dollars a month. The food looked wonderful. I just can't believe the kind of food that they put out. Another real positive for Brookdale is on their website, they have their menu, and they have their schedule of activities. I have not seen that on any other websites for any of these. You can see what they're busy doing. I met two staff members and was treated very, very well. Of the three places I've been, it was the most open and had the most availability for the residents to walk around and go and move. I think they would feel like you've got the most freedom there.

Brookdale Kettleman Lane was very nice, but a little more expensive. One nice thing about this facility is that I could go whenever I can and this place is four minutes from the church I go to. It was a very nice building. It was comparable to where my husband is in terms of cleanliness and staff. The people that were living there looked happy. They had private and shared rooms. If I wanted a private room for him, it would cost a lot more. They had security.

I toured Brookdale Kettleman Lane in Lodi. It's a memory care but I know Brookdale also has an assisted living in that area too. I just didn't like that whole locked-up feeling and I didn't want my mom in that kind of environment either. Everybody was very nice there though, and very helpful. I thought that it would be a good place for her to be but maybe at a different time. The shared room cost is all my mom could have afforded there and my mom did not want to share a room with anyone, so cost was also a big factor. We walked around the whole facility and some of their community rooms. It was really a beautiful place. I saw an outdoor area and it was really nice, big, and had trees. They had a lot of activities there too and it was well-maintained.

Brookdale Kettleman Lane had assisted living and memory care. The rooms were small, but they were fine, clean and thought out well. The staff that I met there seemed nice. I also saw their dining room.
