Brookdale was very nice and accommodating, but it didn't offer the care we needed. It was very clean, well-kept, and up to date.

At Brookdale Paulin Creek, everything is perfect, wonderful, friendly, helpful, and caring. My mother loves her room, the food, and the people. She loves everything about it. She is in the memory care section called Claire Bridge. It is excellent. They do exercises and gather people around the table to ask them questions pertaining to their lives. They have little gatherings just for dementia care people for the ones who are able to communicate. They go on bus tours once a week. I know my mother is always busy. If my brother calls in, she goes, "Oh I got to get going because we’re doing something now." So she is always very excited about what she’s going to do next. She seems to eat everything. The things that she used to not like, she is eating now. A couple of times, I’ve eaten there myself even though I don’t normally eat in restaurants because I have allergies, but the two or three times I’ve eaten there, it has been very good. The facility is clean. My mom considers the staff her friends. The care staff and all the workers keep getting better and better. They’re very caring people.

My overall experience with Brookdale Paulin Creek was good. The rooms seemed fine. It was a little depressing having to live in a place like that, it’s tough wherein they have to live with a bunch of folks that are going through similar things. I would say that the place is probably above average, a good B. We visited their dining area but we didn't taste the food but the people eating there said it was good. They were playing games while we were there, and looked like they’re having a good time. They have a game room, a ballroom type place where they play card games.

I visited Brookdale Paulin Creek (Formerly Lodge at Paulin Creek). The staff was very nice and very helpful. She showed me the biggest room, and it was very spacious, nice, and clean. They were very informative. We didn't go out on the grounds much because they were replacing the roofs that day -- it seemed like very nice grounds though.

The staff was very nice at Brookdale Paulin Creek. It was clean, orderly, and a little too big.

Lodge at Paulin Creek was a very nice place, very clean, and very bright. The staff were very pleasant and personable, and they gave me a nice tour. They had activities although they would not have been useful in my situation. When I went there, they had a choral group on CD that people were watching, and they have TV, but the room was about $7200; it was out of my price range, so I didn't go any further with them.

Facility is large and very comfortable. Staff was very pleasant and answered all of our questions. Many activities available and close to stores, medical buildings and transportation.
There was a waitlist so we continued to tour other facilities.

The Lodge at Paulin Creek is a pretty nice place. I visited this place for my wife because several senior care websites emailed me about it. I also knew about this facility because I had friends who had spent considerable time there. Their apartments are very nice depending on the size you want. I just looked at their regular one-bedroom apartments.
With regards to the staff, I met with the manager and the people upfront in the main area and they were very easy to deal with. They have activities going on for their residents. I think there was a pianist in there at the time of my visit and there were quite a few people who were watching that performance. Food they serve looks very substantial.

We visited Brookdale Paulin Creek. They have a good location, which is close to a shopping mall. The dining area was very nice, but it was dark. It is a pretty big place and only has one elevator. In the apartment that was available to us, we would have had to walk two blocks to the elevator, two blocks back to the unit, and when we came back, we would have to do the same thing over again, so we did not like that.

I went to Brookdale at Paulin Creek. I thought it was very nice place, but I did not like the location on the flatlands near a big shopping center. Aesthetically, I did not like it. The rooms were nice. It had a pool and everything. The people were very old, and I just did not like the area itself that much. Brookdale was very nice and lots of people would be happy there.

The really good thing about Brookdale Paulin Creek for my parents is that they have independent section, which my parents went into, but they also have assisted living and memory care. Even if you're in independent living, you can contract for some assistance. Brookdale Paulin Creek has what my parents needed. The staff seems fine. The sales people were very helpful. Everyone is helpful in general. My parents really enjoyed a history class that they went to. My mother thought that the exercise class that she went to today wasn't really enough exercise because it was too simple. My parents really haven't participated in many activities, but they just moved in at the end of August. Also, so far, the food has been great.

Lodge at Paulin Creek was a large facility -- the size of a city block. They had friendly staff. The rooms were impeccable. We toured about four different kitchens, and four different social living areas and patios, and there was a little golf course. There was a barbecue area where they socialize, a library, and a little post office inside the facility. They had a van that transports them. The apartments were very clean -- that's what struck me the most -- and it was secure enough.

We visited the Lodge at Paulin Creek. The place was very nice. The rooms there were different. They were much more open and brighter. They were about the same size as the other facility, but residents didn't have the ability to cook in their rooms. Not that my mother does a lot of cooking, but she likes to boil a cup of tea, reheat her dinner in the microwave, or make herself a bowl of soup. We were offered a meal there and the food was very good. They did have activities. They had transportation to and from doctors' offices and shopping excursions, but I didn't see a lot of outside activities.

My old folks really like Lodge at Paulin Creek. The environment was fine, it was clean, no smell. The room was adequate, you provide your own furniture and you get your own improvements. It is a little expensive but they have three meals. They didn't have the level of transportation service that we're used to in Southern California in some of the independent living places but they were fine. It did not have a good support system when my father got sick, I had to call 911 from Southern California. They don't deal with any of that and that surprised me. They're basically a living hotel and that's all I characterize them. I'm not saying that's not what they're contracted to do but I was expecting more.

When we looked for a place for both my parents, we visited Lodge at Paulin Creek. It was a beautiful area and the staff were wonderful. The manager who showed us around knew all the employees and there was a personal relationship between them. The atmosphere was light because everyone seemed happy.

This is an assisted living facility that's almost like a resort. It's just spectacular, high class. I know it well because I've referred a few clients there and attended monthly meetings there for a while.
They have five different floor plans, ranging from a studio to a 2-bedroom apartment. There's even a swimming pool.
The staff is well qualified, well trained, professional, and welcoming. They also have full services, from housekeeping to beauty and barber services. And there's both private dining in room or restaurant style meals in the dining room. The food is also excellent. I've had lunch there a few times, and it's always been good.
Activities start around 9 or 10 in the morning and go until 7 or 8 at night. A lot of the activities happen in the water--aerobics, etc. But there are also knitting classes, gardening, cooking classes, and town hall meetings.
It's in a remote location, but they do offer transportation services.
