Paula MK 2019-12-06 I could not be more disappointed with this facility and the care my mother was provided. I knew in my heart "something" was wrong and I should have listened to my gut and gone somewhere else. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

pmerrich 2019-04-12 I selected this facility for my brother. Its smaller that most others and that is what I was looking for. He has CP and gets overwhelmed is too large. The price was important as we have to pay out of pocket. Other

Nicole 2018-03-28 Brookdale Canopy Oaks was wonderful. I thought it would be a nice place for my parents. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the place was very clean and had a nice atmosphere. The dining area looked nice. They also had an area where you could play games, sitting areas, and so on. I visited this facility

Karlaw 2017-10-28 I placed my mom in Brookdale Canopy Oaks this past July 2017 when I realized she needed a more structured and safe home life. Because I work in the medical field caring for the elderly, I am in a lot of facilities. I am very pleased with the care and compassion my mother gets at Canopy Oaks. The facility is clean and modern and bright and cheery! There is a sense of hominess and comfort as you stroll through the facility. My mom is very happy there. She has made friends and there is a wide range of activities for her to choose from to entertain herself. Thank you...to the staff of Brookdale Canopy Oaks! I visited this facility

audrey702710 2017-06-07 I almost chose Brookdale because my mom was there several years ago. It was a different name at that time, and they treated her well. It was not brand new, and it was a little less expensive. The amenities were very good. They had a lot of cards games and different games that the residents could play. They had a sitting room with a TV. For a fee, you could eat with your relative there. Every Sunday afternoon, they had church. They were not brand new, but they were good. I visited this facility

Susan534271 2016-08-16 I wouldn’t recommend Brookdale Canopy Oaks. The staff was nonexistent. The room was very old, not modern, not updated. The windows were full of mud, and when I asked the woman why the windows were muddy, she said that they had pressure-washed the place and hadn’t gotten to the windows yet, which was totally unacceptable. We went into the dining area and there was one lady sitting in there in a wheelchair, like they had forgotten about her. The tour guide said she was out of breath, but the tour took us three minutes, so I don’t know why she was out of breath. Being that out of shape, she shouldn't be taking care of the elderly. It had a horrible smell to it. I visited this facility

Joyce277451 2016-06-10 Everything at Brookdale Canopy Oaks was very good. The staff was really good with my dad. I never had a problem with them, and they let me know if anything changed. Dad liked it, felt good, and adjusted well. They went to different places and had activities in the facility. They had a TV, a piano, and lots of things to keep the residents busy.

Amy113679850 2015-09-30 I went to Brookdale Canopy Oaks for my parents. It was very nice. It was a little bit smaller, and maybe that would be good too. They had some nice facilities. I know they had a beauty shop -- which my mom would like -- and they also had a TV room. They had different activities going on that you could go to and some outdoor places that you could go sit. It was very nice inside too. It was decorated nicely. It seemed very clean. The room was a nice room. I visited this facility

Anonymous112249350 2015-08-31 Brookdale Canopy Oaks was a little outdated. It was an older facility. I thought it was a little on the dark side. It could be a little cheerier. Everything is too brown. The staff was very helpful. It was small. I visited this facility

Caring111613850 2015-08-21 I visited Brookdale Canopy Oaks. I was very impressed with the staff. They were very caring and very knowledgeable about what their facility provided. They were very helpful. The apartments were very nice and very clean, and the size was good. The arrangement was really nice and easy for someone to go around. It was a very nice facility. We looked at the dining room, and it looked like a nice dining area. They had some computer type games that they played. One of the things that impressed me was that everybody that we talked to seemed to be really interested in keeping the people there active and keeping them doing things that they could. They had people baking bread and baking cookies. There was a wide variety of activities they could do. However, the thing that impressed me most was that the rooms were newer, and the whole building was newer. The hallway in the Alzheimer's unit was wide, and it had a section down in the middle that had some artificial flowers, trees, and stuff like that. It just looked like it would be a much more pleasant place to be. I visited this facility

Caring78411 2014-11-27 Emeritus at Ocala West did something very well. The facility itself was not as nice as the other facility my mom is in, but it wasn’t rundown. One of the things that impressed me right away is being in a nursing home, it didn’t smell like antiseptic; it smelled clean, and the only place that I kind of felt like they fell down a little was in their daytime staff. During the week was very good when it came to weekends and nights. Oftentimes if you would try to call there, sometimes the people you would get on the phone -- and I kind of have the impression maybe English was their second language -- and when you are trying to communicate about someone who can’t communicate well, it’s really frustrating when you are calling there and you trying to get information or give the information and they are not really understanding sometimes. So that was one place I would say they fell down. They came out to the house before we had mother go over there. They came over to the house, they evaluated her, and I thought they did a real good referral job of figuring out where she was on the scale, what stage she was in, and how much help she would need. I felt they did a really good job with that, and they seemed to have a really good comprehension of Alzheimer’s and how you handle people who have Alzheimer’s. There were a lot of things about it that was good; my only complaint about it would really be that they needed to do a better job and have some people in there that were more knowledgeable. They could go a long way if they would fix their problem with people. I am a friend or relative of a resident

Caring95900850 2014-10-07 My visit at Emeritus was not impressive. The hallways were wide, but it did not look like a comfortable place; it looked more like a nursing home. The ambiance, the common areas were not very impressive. There were plainly furnished rooms that did not have another purpose but for general activities. They have one little area where people could stop to get an ice cream, and that’s about it they could do there. There wasn’t a lot of activities that they could do there. There wasn’t a lot of activities that I saw at the common area, and there was nothing going on when I was there. The rooms were very plain, smaller and did not have a kitchen. Everyone there was in their night clothes and very casual. There was no dress code. I visited this facility

Caring93302750 2014-05-29 My mother is now at Emeritus at Ocala West. All the experience that I have had there is that the staff is very caring and very attentive to her needs. Pretty much, she is always happy when I talk to her, so I know that she is being well taken care of. They are very clean and tidy. It is like a very nice hotel. I know they do a lot of activities with them. They do entertaining things, and they do hands-on crafts. They just do a variety of things to meet all of the interests of the people there. I am a friend or relative of a resident

Steve36 2014-05-29 Emeritus at Ocala West seemed a very nice place. My dad talked to some people in the lobby and saw some friendly people. I think he might have had a cup of coffee with somebody interesting there, and he’s very friendly. I talked to a few people, too. They were friendly and helpful. It seemed clean. The lobby seemed laid out nicely, and then there was a space behind, like a courtyard past it. There was nothing negative that I saw. The place seemed to be in the middle of things. It’s not too far from the hospital, maybe about ten minutes away at least. It’s not that far from everything. Overall it was a positive impression. I visited this facility

Caring91867650 2014-05-10 Emeritus was clean and well-kept, but it looked old. It was quite far out in the country and not downtown or near shopping, and that’s primarily the problem I saw. They gave us a brochure of the activities. The rooms were average and nothing special, but it looked like a home. I visited this facility

Caring81731650 2014-04-26 Actually, we signed my mother up for another facility, but then they decided she had too many memory issues, so we put her in Emeritus at Ocala West. Emeritus put her in the memory unit, and then, after she was there for six weeks, they put her in with the regular people. They said she didn’t need to be in the memory unit. She's going to be 90 years old this month, so then they decided it was more age-related and that they could work with her. She didn’t really belong in what they consider the memory unit. It’s going really well. It’s much better in the assisted living. She doesn’t have that problem with patients constantly coming in her room. I would say everybody I’ve talked to there has gone out of their way to be nice. I told them, when mother went in, that she’s going to have to be reminded to go to lunch, and every time we’ve been there they came and got her, and they’re real sweet with her. It’s just been really good. It was a $500 less a month when they moved her, and they didn’t have to do that. They regularly move people into memory care who need it, and move them out of memory care if they consider that they don’t need it, so they're very considerate like that. Everything has been positive. Maintenance has been very good, and they have a caring staff. I am a friend or relative of a resident

Caring81326050 2014-03-26 The staff at Emeritus at Ocala West are very nice and they are taking good care of her. The rooms are very good as well as the food. They do some kind of crafts. They do some minimal sports and a little bowling game, and they play cards. They also do some trivia and they listen to music and watch TV. I am a friend or relative of a resident

Nancy73346250 2013-12-20 My mother was at Emeritus at Ocala West for a month. It seemed like a good place. When you walked in, they had big white halls, swing chairs and recliners in the hallways, great activities, yummy food and the rooms were big and comfortable. They had a beautiful outside yard. Although they appeared clean, my mom got different rashes all over her body during her stay. The employees were really young and they could not relate to the seniors at all. They could not talk to them. When they threw my mom in the mental ward, I was beside myself. I thought that they did not have the knowledge or staff to control her. She was difficult but if you knew how to talk or calm her down, it was easily done. The other two facilities she stayed could do it, but this one couldn't. They did not have the skilled staff to take care of them. I am a friend or relative of a resident

Caring75492950 2013-12-12 We went to Emeritus here in Ocala and it's very nice. Although it looked clean, but it didn’t smell clean. It just had an odor. The staff seemed to be very caring. Their accommodation, I would say, is adequate. We did try the food and it was okay. I actually participated in bowling there. They also have bingo, crafts, and cards. I visited this facility

Lynn22 2013-11-30 The people looked happy at Emeritus at Ocala West and the facility is clean. They have plenty of activities with very friendly staff. The rooms were of decent size and they are always updating so they were in good shape. I visited this facility

Ramonita 2013-11-25 The director at Emeritus called me and she said that she was following with a phone call I made for my father. When I called them back, she never got back to me. Apparently, they screwed up because it's not my father, it's my husband. When you make that kind of a mistake, I want to make sure that my husband's given the right medications. The first person that greets you is what represents your company and when I see somebody in jeans that's representing your company, that person should be a little bit more with etiquette, that turns me off right away. When I came in, there was nobody at the reception area and I had an appointment already set up. They told me to wait and then this other lady came in and I waited with her. She had jeans and like a t-shirt. It's like presentation at the supermarket. The room was not neat at all and people could get hurt in that office. When you're dealing with people with dementia, you have to be extremely careful in the way you leave things and how you leave them. Emeritus is more expensive per room but the services that they stage are cheaper. I visited this facility

sunnyd333 2013-10-29 The outdoor facilities are not kept up and accessible to the residents at will. There do not seem to be enough employees to assist the memory care unit at all times. You must stay on top of all of the care in any facility involved in memory care as the residents do not always know how to communicate their needs other than acting out. I am a past client of this provider

Caring71271150 2013-09-29 My wife is in ALF at Emeritus at Ocala West. We're very much satisfied with this place. She moved there last December 2012. Aside from assisted living, they also have memory care facility. I noticed that some memory patients always have somebody with them. I am a friend or relative of a resident

Loving Husband2 2013-08-27 My wife is in an assisted living facility at Emeritus. I chose this facility because it met all my needs and they were very helpful in getting my wife in there. They have a very nice garden outside. The rooms that they have are good. Their staff is friendly and very helpful. I have lunch everyday with my wife and the food is good. Their dining room is equally good as well. Everything is just fine and I'm very happy with this place. I would recommend Emeritus to others. I am a friend or relative of a resident

Irvin1 2013-05-14 Emeritus was clean , nice and also expensive. The staff who showed me around was courteous and pleasant. She walked me around the different rooms like the recreation room where they played cards and bingo. I was able to see one of the apartments and it was immaculately clean. The only thing I did not like was the customer service when I called. When I called the first time, I did not know who I talked to and so I could not get an appointment. They called back after a day and I was only visiting Florida, so my time would be wasted if I was not able to get in. I visited this facility

Anonymous18 2012-02-28 I started my search looking for care for my Mother. Our sales rep, T. was very impressive. I felt like the facility was clean. The rooms are nice. The people seemed happy. I visited a few other facilities in the area. But, this facility went further than the others. They gave us furniture. That was nice. It was nice to not have to buy us furniture. It's been 1 1/2 months and I'd still give them 8 or 9 stars if I could for the level of service I got from, Trish. But, I was referred to a company to get help with financing through my Mom's VA benefits. This guy lied about the facts surrounding the liquidity of our annuities say they want asset for asset. This was not true. He tried to make us invest in their mutual funds. He said we could invest in their mutual funds or find someone else to help us. I am a friend or relative of resident

Faith 2020-04-27 Brookdale Canopy Oaks is excellent. My mother's room is good sized. We've got a bed in there, two chairs, a dresser, a recliner, two end tables, a nightstand, and a refrigerator. I saw all of the rooms, and they were all good. They had a library, a game room and a pool table in the assisted living part. My mother is in the memory care, so there wasn't really any activity in that area. When I went there, it felt right. Everything fell into place. If you had any problems, the director will address it immediately. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Cathy 2019-05-30 Brookdale Canopy Oaks was very nice. The staff was good. The aesthetics were much better. The rooms were nicer, larger, and brighter than the other place I visited. When I got there they were baking cookies and popping popcorn, so it's definitely more homey. The dining room was especially pretty because it had a lot of windows. It was just much more expensive, so there's a tradeoff. I visited both the assisted living and the memory care. They have activities and outdoor terraces. They seem to work to encourage people to participate. They also take you to doctors' appointments. I visited this facility

Patricia 2018-09-12 Brookdale Canopy Oaks was phenomenal and clean. The people were wonderful. The rooms are beautiful, clean, and nice. They also have a choice of what you can eat, but I wasn't as keen with it because I had beef tips that really didn't tickle my fancy. The staff was very nice, and I can't complain. It was a beautiful community and on the assisted living side the people were talking and spending time with each other. Mom was talking to the people and playing their games. It was nice. I visited this facility

When you walked in, they had big white halls, swing chairs and recliners in the hallways, great activities, yummy food and the rooms were big and comfortable. They had a beautiful outside yard. Although they appeared clean, my mom got different rashes all over her body during her stay. The employees were really young and they could not relate to the seniors at all. They could not talk to them. When they threw my mom in the mental ward, I was beside myself. I thought that they did not have the knowledge or staff to control her. She was difficult but if you knew how to talk or calm her down, it was easily done. The other two facilities she stayed could do it, but this one couldn't. They did not have the skilled staff to take care of them.

We went to Emeritus here in Ocala and it's very nice. Although it looked clean, but it didn’t smell clean. It just had an odor. The staff seemed to be very caring. Their accommodation, I would say, is adequate. We did try the food and it was okay. I actually participated in bowling there. They also have bingo, crafts, and cards.

The people looked happy at Emeritus at Ocala West and the facility is clean. They have plenty of activities with very friendly staff. The rooms were of decent size and they are always updating so they were in good shape.

The director at Emeritus called me and she said that she was following with a phone call I made for my father. When I called them back, she never got back to me. Apparently, they screwed up because it's not my father, it's my husband. When you make that kind of a mistake, I want to make sure that my husband's given the right medications. The first person that greets you is what represents your company and when I see somebody in jeans that's representing your company, that person should be a little bit more with etiquette, that turns me off right away. When I came in, there was nobody at the reception area and I had an appointment already set up. They told me to wait and then this other lady came in and I waited with her. She had jeans and like a t-shirt. It's like presentation at the supermarket. The room was not neat at all and people could get hurt in that office. When you're dealing with people with dementia, you have to be extremely careful in the way you leave things and how you leave them. Emeritus is more expensive per room but the services that they stage are cheaper.

The outdoor facilities are not kept up and accessible to the residents at will. There do not seem to be enough employees to assist the memory care unit at all times. You must stay on top of all of the care in any facility involved in memory care as the residents do not always know how to communicate their needs other than acting out.

My wife is in ALF at Emeritus at Ocala West. We're very much satisfied with this place. She moved there last December 2012. Aside from assisted living, they also have memory care facility. I noticed that some memory patients always have somebody with them.

My wife is in an assisted living facility at Emeritus. I chose this facility because it met all my needs and they were very helpful in getting my wife in there. They have a very nice garden outside. The rooms that they have are good. Their staff is friendly and very helpful. I have lunch everyday with my wife and the food is good. Their dining room is equally good as well. Everything is just fine and I'm very happy with this place. I would recommend Emeritus to others.

Emeritus was clean , nice and also expensive. The staff who showed me around was courteous and pleasant. She walked me around the different rooms like the recreation room where they played cards and bingo. I was able to see one of the apartments and it was immaculately clean. The only thing I did not like was the customer service when I called. When I called the first time, I did not know who I talked to and so I could not get an appointment. They called back after a day and I was only visiting Florida, so my time would be wasted if I was not able to get in.

My grandparents enjoyed staying at Emeritus at Ocala West. My grandfather died but my grandmother still lives in that facility. It's nice, I have no complaints about it and it's just perfect.

I started my search looking for care for my Mother. Our sales rep, T. was very impressive. I felt like the facility was clean. The rooms are nice. The people seemed happy. I visited a few other facilities in the area. But, this facility went further than the others. They gave us furniture. That was nice. It was nice to not have to buy us furniture. It's been 1 1/2 months and I'd still give them 8 or 9 stars if I could for the level of service I got from, Trish. But, I was referred to a company to get help with financing through my Mom's VA benefits. This guy lied about the facts surrounding the liquidity of our annuities say they want asset for asset. This was not true. He tried to make us invest in their mutual funds. He said we could invest in their mutual funds or find someone else to help us.

Memory Care Reviews for Brookdale Canopy Oaks

Brookdale Canopy Oaks is excellent. My mother's room is good sized. We've got a bed in there, two chairs, a dresser, a recliner, two end tables, a nightstand, and a refrigerator. I saw all of the rooms, and they were all good. They had a library, a game room and a pool table in the assisted living part. My mother is in the memory care, so there wasn't really any activity in that area. When I went there, it felt right. Everything fell into place. If you had any problems, the director will address it immediately.

Brookdale Canopy Oaks was very nice. The staff was good. The aesthetics were much better. The rooms were nicer, larger, and brighter than the other place I visited. When I got there they were baking cookies and popping popcorn, so it's definitely more homey. The dining room was especially pretty because it had a lot of windows. It was just much more expensive, so there's a tradeoff. I visited both the assisted living and the memory care. They have activities and outdoor terraces. They seem to work to encourage people to participate. They also take you to doctors' appointments.

Brookdale Canopy Oaks was phenomenal and clean. The people were wonderful. The rooms are beautiful, clean, and nice. They also have a choice of what you can eat, but I wasn't as keen with it because I had beef tips that really didn't tickle my fancy. The staff was very nice, and I can't complain. It was a beautiful community and on the assisted living side the people were talking and spending time with each other. Mom was talking to the people and playing their games. It was nice.
