Our visit to Glenbrooke at Palm Bay was very good and interesting. It was a nice, clean, and well-run place. The only thing that turned us off is that you need to leave the living facility and go to another building to get meals. They have a very nice kitchen, but you'd have to go outside for every meal. They have lots of activities and they have a nice library. They were fixing things up for Christmas when we were there and it looked good to me. They have a hairdresser and a barber shop. The staff was great.

Glenbrooke at Palm Bay was very nice, and the sales agent, Loretta, was terrific. I would have put my aunt there but she refused to leave Palm Beach. I thought that it had a high-quality, friendly atmosphere. I liked the services they offered. They had a nurse who you could schedule to go with you to your doctors' appointments and take notes, which would be a great help because a lot of these folks are not familiar with medical jargon, and it is very confusing to them; plus, they have memory problems on top of it. They were the only place out of nine that I visited that had this service, which is really valuable. It is an extra cost, but it is available. I told my neighbor I thought it was great, and she might go over there to see it.

I was able to visit Glenbrooke, and the place was very nice, clean, and pretty. The little apartments were nice as well. The grounds are all very nice with swimming pool and good landscaping.

We visited Glenbrooke At Palm Bay. It was the better one than the other facilities. The lady that showed us around was excellent. The dining room was very nice. They did have largest apartments than any of the places, and that’s what we were looking for.

Glenbrooke was reasonably priced, and the care that they gave and the setting that it’s in, I just felt that was the best choice for us. The staff is extremely helpful. They don’t have any complaints with the food. Everything has been very good.

I am extremely happy with Glenbrooke. The apartments are beautiful, very bright, and roomy. The staff is very professional and friendly. I have not eaten there, but mom is happy with the food. They have bingo, all kinds of holiday events, and sing-alongs. It’s wonderful.

The rooms at Glenbrooke were all clean and would meet my needs. We had lunch there, and the food was good. The woman I interacted with was friendly, and she was the only person I was with -- the sales person -- and she was very good.

Glenbrook was a very nice place. The rooms were gorgeous. The dining room facilities were nice. The whole place was nice, but it was just a little bit pricey. They had and exercise room, a computer room, a swimming pool, and walking paths. They had all kinds of goodies. They had day trips. From what I could see, the residents seemed to be really happy there.

I think Glenbrooke was a wonderful facility. It's very nicely decorated, the staff was very friendly and helpful, and the food was excellent. But my dad just didn't fit in there very well and he would get confused as to where his room was. They bring in musical artists every Friday afternoon, they have chair aerobics, a book club, and outings. They also have a swimming pool, a clubhouse where they do other activities, like arts and crafts, and even happy hour on Friday afternoons. They had a variety of things to do. I think they even have a Bridge club where they play cards. My mother-in-law is there.

While this facility was once the best in the area for senior residents, this is no longer the case. Glenbrooke still offers a number of social activities for residents and the staff still tries to respond to residents' concerns, but management often does not listen to staff feedback. What primarily accounts for this decline in quality? Lack of effective management, repair issues either ignored or poorly handled, and the exodus of many staff members to nearby senior living facilities. A substantial cultural change at the management level is necessary before this facility can restore its once quality rating.

Glenbrooke is fine, the apartments were beautiful, and the staff was very nice and very home-like. I am in independent living so I have my own dining room.

Glenbrook was OK. We liked it too, but we have preferred the other facility. The dining room seems to be OK; we had looked at them. We had looked at the entire facility -- assisted living and independent -- it seems OK. The room sizes were a little small for the most part, but the rest of the facility seems OK.

We had lunch at Glenbrooke. The menu was nice and the food was good but I wasn’t impressed with the whole setting there. It just seemed old to me. The floor seemed dark. The staff was wonderful. We were in the rooms and they were OK. The overall feeling there just turned me off.

My aunt is in Glenbrooke. The place is very clean, bright and very light. What I like best is that the staff is excellent, honest, understanding and accommodating. We are able to work out a meal plan. Their food is good. They did the supervision of my aunt very well. She's in a two-bedroom apartment. They go out to see movies. They go out shopping. They have arts and crafts. They have sing-a-long. They have everything there.

Glenbrooke at Palm Bay was multiple stories, very spread out, and that also required a lot of walking. The building was beautifully done. It was really nice. It's got a beautiful landscaping. The staff was very proud of their facility and they work very hard to keep the residents happy.

The Glenbrooke at Palm Bay assisted living facility appeared really well-kept from the exterior. We had been looking for a place for my friend's mother to live in Florida. She has many friends and family there, so this region is ideal for her and the family,
There was a nice little on the grounds, where seniors may enjoy themselves and where they can host many gatherings. The main foyer was reminiscent of a bed and breakfast.
The living suites were all nicely sized and beautifully decorated. Each unit had individually controlled temperatures. We could see that my friend's mother could enjoy living in any of them.
The communal areas all had interesting activities occurring, from reading to games and resident interactions. It was clear that the residents enjoy living here.
Activities and events outside of the facility included casual and fine dining, the library, art venues, theater and films. They also host many general and private parties for residents to enjoy with family and friends.
The food choices looked nutritious and delicious, as well as the regular snacks - offered continually. The dining areas were all lovely, with nice furniture and a peaceful, yet stimulating atmosphere.
The staff here was very caring and attentive. All of the senior's needs appeared to be met very easily, in a caring and friendly manner.

Glenbrooke at Palm Bay was very neat and clean. I was not disappointed at all. The two-bedroom was great. It had a mini kitchen, and it was very good sized. The staff's work attitude was great. They were very proud of their place. They had water aerobics, and there were people in the library and taking advantage of the activities available. It's well maintained inside and out.

The best community in Brevard county! My wife and I were pleasantly surprised and delighted with the facilities! Clean community, not oversized! We felt like we were at home, unlike some of the other older communities. The Fountains and Century oaks, just minutes away, couldn't hold a candle! The sales staff was very knowledgeable! Thank you. We will be signing our lease soon.. we look forward to it! Our soup and Lunch was delish and dining staff was professional!

Glenbrooke at Palm Bay was very nice. The apartment we were looking at was beautiful. The apartments were a better sized than the others I have seen. It had a lot of amenities that we liked, and it was close to a sanctuary. There wasn't a view of the river which I love, so that was kind of one of the negatives about it. Most of the people were mobile, even if they were in a wheelchair. They can go outside and do what they like. There was a nice pool. We had lunch with our friends and the food seemed to be very nice, good, and well-prepared. The menu was diverse.

The tour at Glenbrooke at Palm Bay was good, but it was not the right fit for us. I like the layout of the apartments. We looked at an independent living 2-bedroom, which was nice. There was quite a bit of storage space. It's very adequate. I know they offer assisted living too. They have lots of activities. They have exercises, a library, and crafts. They serve two meals a day. They offer housekeeping once a week and they do your sheets and towels once a week. They have a bus, but they only go within five miles.
Provider Response
Thank you for your feedback Pat! Just to clarify, Glenbrooke at Palm Bay offers transportation to medical appointments and shopping within a 10 mile radius, which is standard practice in the senior living industry. We appreciate your comments and hope you will keep Glenbrooke at Palm Bay in mind for your independent and assisted living needs.

I loved Glenbrooke at Palm Bay. I would move there. The facility and apartments were very nice. I looked at a three-bedroom apartment and was quite impressed with the whole community. The people were extremely friendly, and I liked the location. The food was good, too.

We are in Glenbrooke at Palm Bay. So far, we are pleased. It is a very quiet and prestigious place, and we feel at home here. We cannot ask for anything better for the staff. The place is very comfortable, very attractive, and very calming. The area is very close to everything like doctors, shopping, and church. We participate in several things, like discussion groups, entertaining groups, games, and church.

Glenbrooke at Palm Bay has everything that a person can possibly want. It is like their own home. The apartments are lovely. They are like as big as my house. They have exercise machines and classes. They have swimming. They have creative classes, and they have a library.

Glenbrooke at Palm Bay was the best that I had seen. Everything was so pleasant and nice. The people were nice, they had a beautiful lobby, the food was good, and the grounds were well-kept and clean. The only thing is I couldn’t live there because it was way back off the road in the woods. I’ve lived in the country before, and I said I’ll never do it again. I’m a city girl, and I need the sunshine, and too many trees around does not give you a lot of sunshine. I would recommend it for anybody else really because it was nice. The staff toured us through the whole thing and introduced us to several people. We talked to a couple of the residents, and they were very nice.

I had a short tour at Glenbrooke at Palm Bay. Independent living were in separate building that look like an apartment complex, and the main part in the middle held people that required assisted living and more care. Moving to assisted living makes the price go up dramatically.

My grandmother is in Glenbrooke. The people are very welcoming, everything is clean, and the location is peaceful. It is not busy, but it is a very active community. We ate there, and the food is good. A person can be as active as they want to be. I like that it is not pretentious, like you do not have to dress up to go to lunch. They have a variety of activities for different ages. Loreta, the director, is just wonderful and very nice. It has a great dining hall and exercise room.

Glenbrooke at Palm Bay is really nice. They had a beautiful restaurant-style service for the residents. The apartments were really nice, with separate bedroom and kitchen. They have lots of activities, like arts and cards games. The dining area was beautiful. They have a coffee bar and ice cream shop for the residents. It’s just neat. The lady in charge of marketing is really nice.

Glenbrooke was very nice and very impressive. The people were very much receptive to us, and we had questions on how you progress and how you get into it. The staff looked great; they were about our ages, and we could mingle in. It’s not high class, but it’s a little bit outside of our pocketbook range. It was very well-kept-up and very well-maintained. They could add on some more units.

I found Glenbrooke at Palm Bay to be very well managed. They have nice apartments in the regular section, while those that need assistance have a place in the other building that seems to be efficient as well. The independent living section is excellent. The apartment has two large bedrooms with a dining area, a kitchen, and a balcony. The apartment is excellent. The staff is wonderful. They are well trained in what they are showing. They are very kind considering that they were young women. Everything impressed me with this facility; it was very nice.
