I did a tour of Brookdale Brookhurst. It was beautiful, but it was pricey, and right now she just doesn't want to do it. If we would think about one, it would be someplace like that; it seems nice.
It's a nice facility, and very nicely kept up. The actual place is nice, the room we toured was really nice. The cafeteria just seems a little more upbeat and livelier than the other places. She was well organized, the lady that gave me the tour; she was very knowledgeable, and it seems pretty good.
The dining room seems clean, I could give it a four; it's not excellent but it looks much cleaner. I think they have a barber-salon, and they have a bus that takes you to places. It feels homey as an institution; it just feels nice.

I took a tour of Brookdale Brookhurst. Their staff was very knowledgeable. They showed us all the common areas and explained which activities were going to be available for my mother-in-law. It was very clean, it was very well designed, and we knew it was going to be a good fit for her.
They have a hair salon and a nail salon that will be available once a week. They have very nice common areas where people and relatives can congregate. We also like the setup of all the lunchrooms and the game room. Everything was very spacious and very well maintained. One just gets a feeling that it is well taken care of.

My grandmother was at Brookdale Brookhurst's assisted living area. It was like an old hotel converted into a facility, so it wasn't as nice as where my parents are now. When I was visiting her, we stayed with her, we had lunch and meals with her, and we had birthdays there with her. They had a beauty salon. She had a really large room with a kitchenette and a private bathroom. The food was actually pretty good there. The staff was OK. Where my parents are now they're really chatty and engaged, but they were not like that at this facility. It was actually difficult to get questions answered and stuff like that. They had a courtyard with a really pretty water fountain.

My tour at Brookdale Brookhurst was very positive. It is a very clean and modern community. They have nice, big dining room and nice, private rooms. They offer studio apartments. The staff members were very helpful. They explained things to me well. The price was a little high though. As a whole, the place was very straightforward and easy to manipulate.

We chose Brookdale for my mother. The rooms were bigger than the other places. They have games, movies, excursions, a courtyard, a couple of living room areas, and sitting areas in the other floor. I liked the fact that they have open dining hours, so you can go down at any time from 7 am to 7 pm.

My uncle is in Brookdale Brookhurst. It's a very nice, welcoming environment. The apartment itself is pretty spacious, very clean, and modern. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. He enjoys all of the activities, like bingo and book club, and outings. I enjoy the food, but he does nott. The facility offers a private dining room if you want to reserve it and have your family over for dinner.

Brookdale Brookhurst was a very large facility with almost 200 residents. For me, it was too much and seemed too medical. They had a lot of activities, but I just think it had too many people. The dining rooms were very nice. Overall, the place was really nice.

Everything is wonderful at Brookdale Brookhurst. The staff is great, the appearance is great, they have a lot of activities, and my mother said the food is wonderful. Everything's been perfect; I wish I could move in myself. Right now, she has a shared room. She had a little problem with her first roommate, but they immediately took care of it and found her another room, and she's very happy now. They do bingo and Pokeno, go out for road trips, have a happy hour with a sing-along, and quite a few other things.

My mother was in Brookdale Brookhurst. The staff was nice, and there were a lot of activities. However, they could've cleaned my mom's room a little bit better. Her eyesight is very poor, and they could've given her a little bit more care. They could've vacuumed or washed a little bit better for her. As far as taking care of my mom, they cleaned her, and they showed up on time. She was there a little over a year. She had a big room, and they had tons of activities every day all day long, i.e., shopping, bingo, and music. The food was OK. The people were very nice, and for the most part, the place was clean.

Brookdale Brookhurst was not somewhere I wanted my mom to be. The staff was very nice, but they didn't have a nice family room area. The rooms were fine; I just didn't like the setup. The dining area and the social area were really small.

I went to Broodale Brookhurst, and I liked that one. However, my mother didn't like that she had to go so far upstairs to a room and come down the elevator. The woman who showed us around was very nice. The room was very nice. She actually showed us one where someone was about to move in and the family members had come and decorated it nicely for their dad. She showed us a couple of different sized rooms, and they were very nice.
I knew they took them out and do things on a little bus; that was a nice thing to do so that they were not always staying inside. I liked that it was close to my dad. I used to live there, so I was familiar with it when they first built it. I liked the little garden -- the sitting area outside; it was very nice, and the people were very nice.

My aunt is in a great facility called Brookdale Brookhurst, and they have done a great job. They are just very conscientious and communicative, and they take good care of her. The rooms are spacious. It is much more spacious than where she was before at half the price. They have all kinds of things like bingo, poker, and singing. They take them on day trips, arts and crafts, and all kinds of stuff. She's only been there for about a month, and I haven't had much communication with the nurse. Other than that, I think it's been great.

My mom has been at Brookdale Brookhurst since mid October. It was Emeritus before, but they changed the name. It seems clean and well attended. It is only a mile from my house, so that is a big thing. Some of the people we saw and spoke to looked happy there. Everybody is quite nice, cheerful, and helpful. The staff is quite accommodating; they check on her. That’s a great relief for my husband and me to know she’s been watched after. She complains about the food a little bit. She thought it could be better prepared as it should be. But they can try to work it out. They had a meeting about that because there’s a change of ownership. The main thing she fusses about is the staff. They would knock on her door and just open it. She doesn’t like it at all. Because it’s her apartment, they should not do that unless there’s an emergency.

My daughter and I were very pleased. It was a very nice experience. I thought their entertainment facilities were wonderful, and the rooms were very nice; the dining room was lovely, their patio and atriums for the people to walk around in were nice, and the building was nice, so everything was fine. I haven’t eaten there, but it looked like the menu was very good.

It was great. The staff was wonderful. It was a really good experience. I thought the rooms were great also. They were very clean and very spacious. For activities, they have outings, like going out to restaurants. I really like this facility, but it was just too far from my home.

It is wonderful. We loved the place and that's why we moved mom there. It was a good fit for her. Financially, it was a good place. The facility itself is just pleasant to look at. It's pleasant inside, decorated very nicely, and clean. It has every need that mom needs. The people are fantastic. They have been so gracious, so giving, and kind to her. It just seemed perfect.

We looked at thirteen places and this had the best and nicest room of all. Mother really liked it. Their facilitator, Kenny, was thorough and helpful. We had sat with the residents and had lunch there and it was terrific. However, the neighborhood wasn't what my mother had hoped for.

It appeared a very fine place. It was clean. We had lunch there and the food was delicious. We were looking at shared rooms. It was like one bedroom chopped in half and no privacy really for one of the people, but the room was okay. All the staff seemed to be very friendly and there were a lot of activities to do, so that's pretty good.

The food looked and smelled great. The staff was great, too. But it's not a locked down facility, and just did not fit my needs.
