I toured Brookdale Brookhurst because it was close by. I liked it because the director knew a lot of people by name. A lot of people seemed happy there. The only thing that is keeping us from moving forward is the cost. However, their staff is the only one who continues to follow up with us. It's an older building, but it felt good, and it felt very homey.

My ex-husband is a resident of Brookdale Brookhurst. The layout is excellent and they have activities every hour. Everything's good. The room is very clean. Every week, they go out twice, they go out shopping and bingo. They kind of exercise and cook, so it's pretty good. The staff are not very coordinated. If you want to talk about medicine, you have to find the head nurse otherwise they will say, 'I don't know.', just like that. So, you have to do it yourself. The food is just normal. Everything's fine except the way that they manage.

Mom was at Brookdale Brookhurst for respite care. We chose this place because they were one of the few places that had a two-week stay, which was exactly what we wanted and mom's primary care doctor had a couple of patients who had moved in there permanently and were doing well. So, I had a positive review from her doctor. They were warm and friendly. The people that worked there were very attentive. The facility was very nice. We were invited for lunch before she went to stay there. I wasn't crazy about the food, but during her time there, she said the food was delicious. So, her opinion is more important than mine. One complaint she had was that there were no activities in the evening. After an early dinner, everything was over and she wished there had been something to do in the evening. Then on her second or last day there, another resident took her up to the third floor and it turns out there was a whole big room there with puzzles, games, and things that she didn't know about. It would have been nice if she had a tour at the beginning, so she knew all the amenities that were there. Mom's apartment was nice. She loved that it was a one-bedroom apartment. It was a suite. It had a separate bedroom. She liked that it wasn't just a hotel room. They were very expensive and something that my mom was upset about was when I was first doing the research and trying to figure out what choices she had, the cost was what it was, and then on the day when we went and signed up and did the formal thing, the fees had gone up and mom didn't like that and I agreed. When I went in there, they should have said, "These fees are good for some amount of time." or "Sometimes the fees go up." So, we didn't like that very much.

I went to look at Brookdale Brookhurst. It was very, very nice. It was really clean. The apartment was very clean and very spacious. They had a little fishpond there that people could sit and watch. Brookdale Brookhurst was the one that my mom was considering, and until my brother talked her out of it. They had a lot of activities you can do every day. They had a nice place where you can sit down and eat. They offered transportation. So those were the amenities that were attractive to me.

The tour I had at Brookdale Brookhurst was excellent. Their courtyard was a little bit more pleasant and a little bit more comfortable. I saw the one-bedroom apartment and I also saw the studio. I saw the menus and stuff like that and where they had the food there and the general area and it all seemed pretty good. Also, the library and TV room looked kind of comfortable. The rooms were larger. It's much nicer on the inside than the outside.

The level of care and concern that Brookdale Brookhurst has is excellent. Mom missed breakfast one time and they came knocking on her door. She was on the phone and she missed it, but they were on it. They wanted to make sure she was OK and that made me and my family feel very comfortable. The other bonus is my mom, thankfully, is a very social being and she has benefited from the social aspect of Brookdale Brookhurst. She's involved in field trips right now, sitting together with other people at dinner, and playing bingo, which is not something that she's accustomed to, but she's enjoying herself at every level. The cleanliness of the place, the receptivity of the cooking staff, and the staff in general have just been phenomenal. We are extremely happy with the results. It's a blessing because she's loving it and thriving way more than she did when she was living by herself. She's capable of living independently, but she's taking advantage of all the activities that they have to offer.

Brookdale Brookhurst was beautiful, and the staff was warm and inviting. I saw different rooms and they're not all the same. They said they all had unique characteristics which I kinda liked. They were beautiful. They always upgrade them when someone moves out to be of the latest style. They only had one courtyard, but it was beautiful. There was a koi pond and several places to sit around. It felt cozy. They laid it out very strategically, so there were so many different conversation places to go sit. I loved the property, but it was not in our budget.

Brookdale Brookhurst was very nice. I liked how small it was. Everyone was very pleasant and very nice. My friend didn't like the location though. It wasn't close to a lot of things as the other place was. They have lots of activities like bingo, an art class, a big library, a gym where they could do either therapy-type things or just a treadmill or something, beautiful gardens, and outside patios. The staff was great. They gave us lunch and it was very good. They gave us a sample of some jam that their head chef had made and it was very nice. They've got very friendly staff.

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.

Brookdale Brookhurst was fine but very old and rundown. The staff was very nice. The rooms were bigger than most places in the area but very old.

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.
