Brookdale Palmer Ranch

My father-in-law is at Brookdale Palmer Ranch. It's very clean. It was recently painted on the exterior, while the interior is also very pleasant, welcoming, fresh, and clean. The staff is excellent, very caring, and competent. I've attended a cookout and tasted the food and it was fairly good. They have activities like Wii, bingo, a Jeopardy game, and outside entertainment music coming in, and they take the residents out to different restaurants and shopping. They have one-bedroom, different sized one bedrooms, and different sized efficiencies.

Everybody from Brookdale was really helpful and provided a lot of information. We chose them because it didn’t smell like urine when you walk in the front door. The staff is fair, although there were some issues. Father has a private room with his basic necessities. They try to accommodate when visitors bring more chairs in his room. I would like to have some sort of documentation that I could look at as to what goes on during the hours I'm not there as I hear strange stories from my dad about what's happening.

My husband is in Brookdale Palmer Ranch. The healthcare is superb. The people that attend to the people that need help are just amazing. He needed a lot of help, and they have got him back on his feet. He is now walking around with a cane. He had physical therapy. They have a happy hour everyday, which is very pleasant. There are only 65 people in the assisted living, so it is actually nice because you get to know more of the people. They play bingo, and they also play bridge. It seemed adequate. There is enough to do. The people who run it are very personable. They know everybody by name. It is very well done. One thing they can improve on is the food.

This is right down the road from where I live. It’s absolutely beautiful, and the people there are extremely kind and considerate. I can’t say enough of them. They’re going to stop and talk to you and ask how you’re doing today. The staff was exceptional and very nice. I went in to have PT and we knew everybody else. We were laughing and the girls that were working there knew their stuff. No one had any negativity. It’s a very pleasant place. It is very much in demand. They keep people coming all the time. It has a very nice dining room. I had to walk through a long hall, I had the corner room, and the sun came in that day. It was just perfect. It was a very nice room. It had enough room for 2 beds. It was a very clean and very bright place. Their food was very good. The dietician would come to me every so often and ask if I was satisfied with the food, and if there was anything special I wanted. They had everything going, and I think the people were happy that went there. Every morning I woke up and I found myself happy to be there.

My caregiver took me to the other side of the dining room here and they had a division that is assisted living. I saw the sample room. Just darling. They took me down and opened some of the doors. The spirit in that place was very high. No matter where you where, there were people that were cheerful. I felt as though I knew everyone there. They were very talkative, and it was a fun time. I’ve seen some of the activities. They had one group in for songs and they did the exercises. We had people that came in and played the piano and sang. We sang along with them. They had a lot of things going. It was a pleasant experience. I think it’s a newer building. Everything looked like it was in tip-top shape. They allowed my hairdresser to come every week and use their hair salon. That was very lovely. The people went out of the way.

It is pleasant. The staff seem like they care. My mom is in a studio apartment, which is small, but it's adequate. The dining room is fine, and I think the food is good there from what I've seen so far. They have plenty of things available for them. They do have a church group and a Bible group, they have pedicures and manicures; they do stuff. There is an activity calendar. It is a smaller community, and that is what I like best about it.
