Kristy 2022-06-19 The apartments at Brookdale Farmington need to be updated. The residents would have to step in and step out of the tub situation in the bathroom, which for me, is a no-go for my father, but could be fine for others. It was a little too loud in the open area with some music that they had going. It was busy, which I think is good, and there were lots of people in and out, but it was just a little too loud for me and I don't think my dad would like that. The staff was nice, though, and they were doing some updating in the hall. I visited this facility

ReviewerRD11142020a 2020-11-26 My parents have moved into Brookdale Farmington. We chose this one because of the immediate feel of friendliness and homeyness there. Just right off the bat, the feel that you get from the staff and the residents is they are trying to include you and make you feel part of it. The location is very nice and peaceful. It's on the beautiful lake with a path around it. The apartment is very nice. The food is good. Right now, my mother is in independent living and my stepfather is in assisted living. They have activities. At the moment there is a new state guideline that they have to quarantine for like six to seven days because they're Covid-free and they're trying to keep everybody Covid-free. The staff gets tested weekly. The people are warm, welcoming, very friendly, and make you feel at home. We noticed the difference right off the bat. They have activities, but until next week they're not able to use them because they have to quarantine with the new state regulations. They're very good. The facility appears to be very clean. They constantly have housekeepers going into the rooms. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Kathleen 2020-05-24 I'm currently in the hospital, but I'm going back to Brookdale Farmington. It's very nice, but they put me in a three room apartment when I couldn't walk. I had to remain in a recliner in the living room, so I never got to the bedroom or the kitchen. I would've been better off in a studio. The rooms were lovely, and the food was delicious. The people who brought the food were very nice, accommodating, and would help you. It's a lovely place to stay. I had to call downstairs to have somebody come up and help me to the commode, and sometimes the wait was way too long. I am/was a resident of this facility

Kee K 2017-10-05 Brookdale Farmington is affordable, but a little outdated. Communication is a little bit difficult, but the people are very friendly. Mom has an efficiency room located on the first floor that has grab bars. It is more accessible to the dining room. The grounds are pretty and they have a pond at the back. They have movies, piano playing, outings, and there are people always coming in to provide entertainment. The food is OK, too. The place is appropriate for our needs. We had communication problems one time when my mom was not being attended to because they didn't know where she was, but it is a fairly nice place and I feel comfortable with Mom being there. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Nancy764307 2016-11-05 We had a tour with one person at Brookdale Farmington, and everybody was very nice. The rooms were beautiful and spacious, and the colors were lovely. Everything was tastefully done, there was plenty of room so you don’t feel crowded, and everyone was pleasant. I visited this facility

Anonymous Lovely Visitor 2016-02-15 I was quite impressed with the size of Brookdale Farmington. The staff was very accommodating, and very friendly. It looked as if the patients were involved in activities. The grounds were beautiful. There was a nice walking area. I visited this facility

Shiela2 2015-04-20 Gables at Farmington was the nicest one that our clients liked. The apartment was perfect, and the location was perfect. They made a lot of friends there. They traveled over there several times to visit, and they just fell in love with it. The social worker -- the one that toured them around -- was excellent. She went above and beyond to pull financials together and work around their budget. She continually invites them over to have coffee or cookies. She's just wonderful. We had other clients there in the past. They're really in tune to what the individual needs. The activity that they participated in was entertainment. The facility itself is beautiful. It's got a pond nearby, so it's very tranquil, and this couple is just thrilled with the prospect of moving in over there. I visited this facility

Linda85996850 2014-10-22 Gables at Farmington was beautiful; we did end up putting my mother there for a couple of months, and she had a wonderful experience there. I thought the staff went out of their way to accommodate any of her needs, they had plenty of activities for her to participate in, and they were very good with family and answering all the questions. It was a one bedroom apartment that was very well-kept, and housekeeping was great with that. The food was good, and they ate two to three meals a day. I am a friend or relative of a resident

Paul28 2014-02-27 Gables was a very nice place with very nice people. The rooms they had available for us though was in the basement facing the backside of the building and there was no sunshine coming in. It was a very spacious unit, but it was dark. It was kind of a cramped place. The hallways were tight and it was a very big place. So, my parents might get lost in there. The dining hall doesn't serve breakfast. They only served lunch or dinner. I visited this facility

Caring76844650 2014-01-31 We went to see Gables at Farmington for my father-in-law. The facility is gorgeous. It's really nice and very well taken care of. We saw the room and we liked it. The staff was very pleasant and was able to answer our questions. Their dining room was like a little hotel. For what they said, they make home-made foods. We liked it because it would be a convenient place for the family; not really far from us. I visited this facility

Robert74304350 2013-11-27 Gables at Farmington was not quite anywhere near as big as the other facility but it was very nice except for one thing. I wasn't very happy with the fact that the people who try to get you in there are on a commission basis. I don't like anybody on a percentage basis because, whether it was a nice or lousy place, they're not going to tell you. This is the reason why I'm giving the place a low rating. I visited this facility

meow271 2012-08-27 The staff were friendly although my grandmother said they didn't listen to her needs.... but I'm not sure if it was just her condition. Everything seemed clean, friendly, open... she seemed to be taken care of quite well in my opinion. There was one nurse but I can't remeber her name who would come in and read to her and went above and beyond her call I feel to watch out for her. The room seemed nice.... maybe could have had a little more decor or another way to make it seem more homely... the gardening was beautiful though and they have nice views from the windows. There were other nurses how ever in my opinion that shouldn't have chosen being a nurse as a profession... they took awhile to answer her call.... and took forever to come to her aid... and were less than delicate in giving her medication. I am a friend or relative of a resident

sfen1110 2012-05-18 After my grandfather passed, my family decided to place my grandmother in an assisted living center to help her not only cope, but continue to function as well on her own. The facilities were very nice; it is kept very clean and Farmington is a beautiful town on its own. I had no complaints about the staff -- though they have a difficult job, everyone I spoke to was respectful and willing to assist with any and all concerns my family had. Finding a good assisted living facility is a difficult choice, because it essentially requires you to put your family member's care in the hands of others, something hard to do when it's your grandmother. The staff knows this better than anyone, and they went out of their way to make this decision as easy and painless as they possibly could. I appreciated their efforts, I appreciated the care they put into their facility, and I appreciate the respect and patience they gave to my grandmother. I am a friend or relative of a resident

ZenaWart 2011-06-01 Hello ,I must say that this assisted living facility is pretty nice outside, Its located in a very hidden area, I went to visit a family member, and let me tell you something, they have such an amazing ,clean and neat facility, It was my first experience going to visit a family member to one of those places ,and I am not going to lie I was pretty nervous about the place and stuff members ,just because of the simple name of "assisted living facility". when I was heading to the main door ,there was few residents on their wheelchairs chatting with the Aides ,the front desk lady was very nice and polite, the other stuff members were very polite some of them showed so much stress on their facial expressions and some of them were really enjoying their job, I am going to say that during the time I was there everybody was really busy ,transferring and assisting residents from one place to another, I have also noticed that besides having good Aides they need to get more bilingual employees ,because some residents do not speak English too well and as we age I think we feel more comfortable talking in our home language, for me to mention this is because the person that I was visiting mentioned that when nobody is around him/her ,it was hard for the person to convey his/her feelings and thoughts , other than that the whole time I was in that facility; it was a quite nice experience.

Jenn 2022-03-20 My grandmother has just signed the paperwork at Brookdale Gables Farmington. I basically like that the room has a full kitchen with a stove and an oven. No other place that we looked at has that, so that was basically what had her go in, because she likes to cook still. The place is big and clean. It's classic décor. They have very nice people. Everybody was very nice. It has a nice view of the lake. They have a beauty and barber salon, there's a gym, there are card games and happy hour, and they do allow small pets. I visited this facility

Ashley 2021-09-09 We like the amenities and the actual apartments that Brookdale Farmington had to offer. The meal plans were included in the monthly rent. The apartments were very spacious. They have multiple activities that the residents can partake in on and off the property. They had different classes that they could partake in as well. They had transportation and you didn't have to pay an additional fee. I visited this facility

ReviewerFC010821A 2021-02-10 Brookdale Farmington was quiet and I didn't see anybody everywhere. The staff showed off two units. I didn't like the two units because they were small, but it's a nice area and a nice environment. It was a quick visit. I visited this facility

Darlene 2019-10-09 Brookdale Farmington was really wonderful. The person I spoke with was very helpful. She took all the time I needed to find out what I needed to know. She talked about my father as if what he needed was more important than what the company needed. I really liked that. The size of the room would be perfect for my father, who is a single male. The layout was convenient. The studio apartment they showed me was pretty much an open space. They had a specific area for a bed with a call bell rope on it. Other than that, you can probably put anything you want in there, so that's nice. There was a kitchen in there that my father could use if he wanted to, but he wouldn't need to because the dining area offers three meals a day. The bathroom was remodeled, which was very nice. He had a look-out advantage point from his window to the lake that is outside the community. It would have been a nice, calming environment. Their recreational director had lots of things going. The bus takes people to doctors' appointments, to the park, to the senior center, and to different places. They have scheduled outings, too. The place was very clean, nice and inviting. The minute you walk in there's a waiting area with coffee and tea available. The person that works behind the desk greets people as they walk in. I visited this facility

CB 2017-07-17 Brookdale Farmington was the one I liked the best. It was really lovely. It was an older place but very well kept up. The surroundings outside, the land, the little lake, and the walking trails were absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. The staff was excellent, very kind, nice, and very informative. I loved the 2-bedroom because it was very spacious and nice. The 1-bedroom was OK, too. They had washers and dryers on the floor in the hallway, in very close proximity to the apartments. The lunch was exceptionally good. I just liked the feel of the place, and I felt very at home there. I visited this facility

Maurizio 2015-10-30 Brookdale Farmington is a great place. It looked richer and much higher-class, but, unfortunately, it was so far away from my kids. The staff was unbelievable all over the place; I cannot say that somebody was rude. Everybody was very pleasant; they offered me to eat, and I refused because I watch my weight. As far as atmosphere and condition and everything else, I would rate them the highest, but it’s not for me. I visited this facility

The Voice of Gables 2013-05-22 I went to The Gables when we sang there as a group. The staff were friendly and nice. They had a large dining room overlooking a pond and it was well-lighted. Natural light streamed into the building and it was bright. Some of the activities were crafts, music, reading class, exercise group, etc. I would recommend this facility to others.

About Brookdale Gables Farmington

Brookdale Gables Farmington provides a full range of choices for today's seniors. Choosing a senior living community represents a lifestyle choice and we understand that our residents are choosing much more than a comfortable living environment to call home.
