Brookdale Urbana was depressing. The residents had just such a poor quality of life. They're like sitting in their wheelchairs, waiting for the dining room. It's just depressing. The staff who accommodated us were very nice, very accommodating, and happy to show me around and tell me all about the facility. They showed us the dining room and they showed us the room where my parents would stay. They also showed us the courtyard and the beauty salon. The room was like a room, a closet, and a bathroom. The place was very nice and very beautiful. They had a place where they could go outside. I didn't see anyone out there, but it was a very hot day. It was a very nice place.

I visited Brookdale Urbana. The staff was great. The rooms were small, smaller than I had anticipated. I really like the staff. I just didn't feel it was appropriate for my mother at this point. Overall, we did not feel that it was appropriate for my mother at this time. The assisted living, that might be fine, but the memory care, I didn't think it was what we wanted at this time.

Brookdale Urbana was average. It's an older facility. We didn't interact with anybody there. It looked like they had the basics. I wasn't real impressed with the outside space because I think that my relative would enjoy going for walks and there wasn't an option there. They have a porch to sit on and they have a really small garden area, but it's not conducive for walking around and getting a nice 15 to 20-minute walk. That wasn't too great. They had a dining room. The staff that we met was very cordial and the woman that we interviewed was very informative. I don't know if my relative felt comfortable with the living conditions there or not.

The staff at Brookdale Urbana was very friendly. The outside was really nice and newer. The main lobby area was really nice. However, when we went into the memory care area, it was more nursing home looking. It was just stark and not very homey. The main common area where they watch TV wasn't very big. I didn't like that the advanced patients were with the less advanced patients that are more social. The staff was very nice and answered all of our questions. The lobby was very nice, and I was impressed. Then when you go in the doors where the patients are, I would say it's a 2. I suggest that the common area in the memory care (where all of the patients come out and visit with each other) have a more warm and homey feeling. It also needs to be a little bigger.

I visited Brookdale Urbana and had seen many of their stuff. It was a nice place, but at this time my mom is not able to stand, and that was the biggest thing. The community was nice. The people were caring and everything. The place was clean. I myself had gone there looking for a job, so I knew what it looked like before I even went there for a tour. It's a nice place. At that time, when I went there, I didn't really know about their activities because it was in the early part of the day, around breakfast hour, where they were getting them up and getting them ready to go in for breakfast. I didn't see the activity part. Pretty much, I didn't get to see all of the place. I just got to see where their receptionist was and how some of the rooms were in different halls. I had seen some residents walking around, and they were clean and dressed for breakfast. It was nice, but I didn't get to see everything. The place was nice. The staff explained everything. They were in uniform and they were doing their jobs.

Brookdale Urbana's accommodations and size of the rooms were adequate. The layouts were looking south with sunshine in the windows or, in the memory section, north with a view of the parking lot. The building's construction and cleanliness were good. The person who showed us around was efficient but I got the feeling that the person was not quite as personally responsive to the patients but more business-like than a person would like to have for their family members. They had a small luncheon area and a receptive type area. The feeling wasn't quite there and the atmosphere was a little bit lacking.
