Brookdale Highlands was very nice and clean. The rooms seemed nice. I met the director, and she was very nice. I didn't like the fact that it's two stories and I feel like a resident could easily get lost in there.

My sister is a resident of Brookdale Highlands. She went downhill very rapidly. She is renting a room there. The staff has not been involved, because before coming down here, we had her 24-hour care. After all, she gets scared at night. We also found out that they are very pricey. The people here are happy, but there is a business atmosphere interlaced with friendliness. My sister is not actively engaged in activities, she stays in her room, and that's the problem. When we came in, we were promised a 1-bedroom apartment. It turns out that the director and the person that was helping me had not talked to one another, and that apartment had been promised to a resident that had been waiting for it. So, they made up for the mistake by giving my sister a 2-bedroom apartment and they reduced the rate to a 1-bedroom apartment, which was good for them. The staff I haven't interacted with, except for the health and wellness director, who is very good and very knowledgeable. It's an older place, and it has a tremendous view. They have a back porch that you can go to, and you can look out over the lake. It is smaller when you get there. The pictures made it look spanking new and clean, and when you get there, it has a sense of wear to it. The rooms are very small, even the 2-bedroom, they're scrunched together. I haven't tried the food, but my sister doesn't like it though because it's highly seasoned.

We toured Brookdale Highlands. It was good. I thought that the rooms were a little small. Other than that, it was very nice. They had everything that my neighbors would need. They had some very nice sitting areas and things like that outside. There was a little pond. There was a little gazebo, where you could walk out to see the pond. There was a balcony area with some seating that looked out over the pond. The staff were very friendly and very nice.

Brookdale Highlands was new and it looked clean. The staff was very nice and very helpful. They had some options for a one-bedroom or a two-bedroom apartment. I think I prefer the two-bedroom apartment because the bedroom and the living room are separate. There was also a table and a kitchenette with a sink and a microwave. Although they do offer three meals a day, I can make something in my apartment if I want to. And I like that the living room is in another area. The transportation to the doctors' appointments would be included. They had an area that you could go out, a walkway out to the lake, and a little covered area if you wanted to go sit outside. The dining area looked good. There were four people at a table, and they could move you to another table if you don't like the people you're sitting with.

We are moving my dad to Brookdale Highlands as soon as he's out of rehab. I found them to be very pleasant and helpful. The facility is clean and lovely. All of the staff members and the residents are very personable, and outgoing and made us feel very welcome. We chose a Deluxe studio and it's got lovely wood floors, large windows, and high ceilings. It had good closet space. The bathroom was phenomenal. It had a walk-in shower and plenty of space. We've arranged his room and he's very pleased with it. We think it's a very good fit. I checked their menus and it's certainly diverse. They have an activity center and they have scheduled a wide array of activities. They also take the residents to restaurants, casinos, shopping, or seeing holiday sites. They have a gazebo located near the lake, and I think dad would love to go fishing there. They have lots of screened porches. This facility is very conducive to an active but secure lifestyle.

I was impressed with Brookdale Highlands and I would feel very comfortable having my parents live there. The facility was very nice, although it did not have much of an outdoor area for residents walk around. They did have a couple of screened-in porches which I thought were very nice. The rooms were adequate and they had daily activities that seemed appropriate. When you walked in, there was a nice little living area with a little bar, and they have a little social activity there each afternoon. They also have a lovely dining facility. The salesperson I dealt with was very accommodating and really seemed to want to understand what my parent's needs were.
