I like Brookdale Conway very much. The staff is very caring and very helpful. My father seems to love them very much and he's thriving. He has a private room which is very nice and clean. It's a nice community. We tried dining there and the food was very good. They take the residents out to go shopping, they take them on trips to the museum, they have exercises, movie nights, a social evening on Fridays, and all kinds of different things. They have a lot of activities.

I have a family friend who resides at this facility. I enjoy coming to visit, the staff are friendly and very welcoming. We have been able to share a meal together in the dining room and the menu had a lot of options, After the meal we enjoyed a musical activity which was entertaining. The facility appears to be very clean and free of odors. It seems like the staff have multiple jobs like giving care, working as the waitress in the dining room and giving the medications but they seem happy and interested in the patients. My friend loves living there and I would highly recommend anyone to Brookdale Conway.

It pains me to even give this facility even 1 star. They are only concerned about the money and don't be mislead, they certainly do not care about your loved ones-especially the Alzheimer's unit which requires the most compassion. I found this facility to be managed by incompetent people who did nothing to help my sick loved one. They constantly reassess patients to raise prices with no reason. They lack all communication skills with deal with the families making a very uncomfortable relationship. In the end, my poor terminally ill loved one was evicted like a criminal from this facility for no valid reason other they our arguing the constant extreme rate increases without any changes in care. Run don't walk away from Brookdale Conway and find a place that cares.

We placed my father-in-law into Brookdale Conway. We like it. Everyone is very nice. It’s clean. The rooms are really nice. My father-in-law has a private room. He gets a choice of what he wants for dinner and lunch. He gets a choice of menu. Everyone has been really nice. They have different activities, but I’m not really up to date on all of them. They have a movie room and an activity room, and they have a lobby where they serve chocolate chip cookies everyday or every other day. They have a man that comes in and plays the piano. They do have different people that come in and entertain them. The room is spacious and clean. It has a nice bathroom. They made it very convenient for them with the handles in the shower. It was made for an older person, and they made it more secure. It is really handicap-accessible.

My father-in-law is at Brookdale Conway. The place is nice and clean, and everyone is nice and takes good care of him. They have a lot of activities going on, like bingo, movies, and puzzles. They have a menu to choose from, and the food that I ate was good.

We visited Brookdale Conway for my mother-in-law. It was nice. They were very nice. I had an appointment with the director, and I would recommend it to anyone. However, my mother-in-law passed away, and we weren’t able to follow up. Everybody was very helpful, very polite, and very nice. It seemed like a nice place for anyone could be. The dining area was very clean, and nice. They had a nice menu for the elderly people. They did have nice things; they had movie nights and happy hour. They had all sorts of little things.

My father-in-law is at Brookdale Conway. We have been very happy there, and my father-in-law has been happy with it. They have a very good administrator, and she has been very nice to work with. My father-in-law’s room is great. It is like a mini apartment. It has a bedroom, a living room, a bathroom, and cupboard for a kitchen. We have eaten at Brookdale Conway, and it is good. My father-in-law is happy with it too. They take the residents shopping. They have bingo, and movies. My father-in-law has been a pastor all his life so he leads a Bible study there, and some of the residents come to that. He enjoys that a lot. He is very happy there, and he loves the staff. They feel like a family to him.

The thing that I liked the best about Brookdale Conway was it was just one level, so there were no elevators to worry about, it was not a multi-story. We didn’t, unfortunately, get a chance to eat there, but they had a new system with their food. They had a new chef; they had a master chef. Their prices were too high for my mom, and that’s nothing against them. It’s just not in her price range. It was very nice and in a quiet area with lots of trees. Even their smallest room -- which was a studio -- was too expensive for my mom and what she would be able to afford. But it was OK; it was just a typical studio, not a super large one.

Brookdale Conway looked dirty. The lady who showed us around was very nice and hospitable. I was impressed with the dining room because it looked like a restaurant.

I was able to visit Brookdale Conway. The place seemed very clean, but one of the things that bothered me there was that it was too quiet, and none of the residents were talking to each other. There was an activities calendar posted, but there were no visible signs of activity. It was too quiet, and it felt to me an empty hospital. The staff was very polite, cordial, and friendly.

We went to Brookdale at Conway and I saw that they need additional staff. Their patient with memory problems who just wandering through the day. They were going to other patient's room and disturbing those patients who are sleeping. They weren't providing enough supervision for their memory patients who wandered the hall and were disturbing other patients.

They're pretty good. It's not easy for my mother or for me, but we're getting used to it. It's not an ideal place, but it's OK. The room is OK; it's a studio, and it's small, but it has a nice window. The food is kind of repetitive, but it's OK. They have activities, but my mother isn't participating in a lot of them. I chose Brookdale Conway primarily for their proximity to my house. The staff isn't bad, the place is clean, and the food is fairly good.

We looked at Brookdale Conway, and it seemed really dated. We did not like it at all. The rooms were small, they did not really have anything available, and it was just outdated. So we did not investigate further than that. This is just an impression from walking around the facility. I did like the courtyard that they had, and if they try to grow some gardens and have the residents be involved in that, I think it will be kind of neat.

I've been to Emeritus. I pass them every day, and I knew it was a senior living facility. I loved it. It's beautiful. The staff seems to be very good. I didn't see any problems. The rooms were either an individual or a dual. Spacious. They were very good with a lot of family personalization. They have arts and crafts, cards, movies, games, books. I like that it was clean.

I visited Emeritus. I liked it, and I liked the staff. Everyone seemed friendly and helpful, and I didn't see anyone standing around. It seemed like everybody was doing something. The rooms were nice and comfortable. I was looking at a bedroom, a sitting area, and a little alcove that you could put a dresser or a TV in. I didn't eat there, but the dining room was comfortable, and once a week, they had a special menu. The menus looked good.
They had some exercise programs, some crafts programs, and games. When I went, they were gearing up for a Western night. They were going to have a Western Chuck wagon barbeque thing and music. You can hear the band coming in. They were doing some square dancing for those who knew how to dance. They had interesting activities. I was ready to move in myself.

I had my father at Emeritus at Conway. We chose this facility because it's near to us. The staff is very helpful and very informative. They have lots of resources to help you with the process. The environment is very clean, and they have scheduled activities for most of the day every day, but I think they need to improve on their parking lot.

Emeritus Conway is a decent place. The staff was very helpful in the transition from hospital to the facility. It's not fancy. They could spruce it up a little bit. But they did a good job with holiday decoration. I think the staff does a pretty good job.

I was able to visit Emeritus at Conway and I wasn’t very impressed with this facility. For me it was depressing. It was dark and it wasn’t cheery. I visited a friend that was there, talked to her, and I just felt very depressed. That particular visit made me say I don’t any part of my family to be there. The rooms were small, but I don’t know how big they are supposed to be. And also I didn’t see a bathroom associated with the room that I went to. The menu to me seemed okay, but their dining room needs to be upgraded. I think this facility needs to be brighter and more cheery.

I visited mom at Emeritus at Conway and the facility seemed nice. She shares a room with someone else and their room was spacious. I wouldn't call the facility exceptional, but I won't call it bad either.

My daughter told me about Emeritus so I checked it out since it was near my house. I liked the overall appearance. It was very clean, modern and up-to-date. I talked with the administrator and I liked the way she treated me. She was very professional yet I could tell she was also compassionate. I liked the way she managed the place. I also spoke to the staff through the telephone and they seemed caring and helpful. There were round the clock doctors, nurses and physical therapists. It looked like they had all what our mother needed. I was really impressed. They just did not have any vacancy.

I visited most of the Emeritus facilities. I have to say that at first glance, Emeritus at Conway is not very impressive. The facility is kind of shabby and the buildings need repair and not really impressive looking. However, the food is really good and the staff is highly-trained. So if I have to choose between a better building or a better staff, I have to go with the better staff.

I placed my Mother at Emeritus due to COPD and Alzheimers. She lived there for the better part of a year and I must say I have never been around more caring and patient staff in my life. They would have parties on special holidays and my whole family would go and we were all treated just like family.
It's a tough choice and in the Orlando area there are numerous facilities to chose from.
I have to say that I couldn't have picked a better place for my Mom. She passed last Oct. but I must say that everyone at Emeritus at Conway did everything they could think of to help my Mom.

The Emeritus at Conway assisted living facility looked like a very nice colonial style motel. The park-like atmosphere on the surrounding grounds was very pleasant and had nice seating areas.
The main foyer had a friendly, airy and nicely decorated receiving area.
All of the communal areas had activities occurring, from reading to games and other social interactions. All of the residents seemed to be enjoying themselves.
The residents are taken to surrounding areas to enjoy the many events and happenings in the region, from nature walks to beach excursions, to fine dining, shopping and entertainment venues.
The residents may take exercise classes such as yoga and aerobics, or use the weight training and other equipment. They may also enjoy the outer walk ways around the building and courtyard. The seniors are encouraged to enjoy physical activity as much as possible.
The living suites were bright and cheerful with nice color schemes. All were a nice size and very well designed and personalized.
The food choices looked nutritious and delicious. The regular snacks also looked great and are offered continually and whenever requested.
All of the seniors looked very well cared for and seemed quite content living within this environment - which was sensibly and nicely designed.
