Brookdale Granger

Brookdale Granger was very nice; however, they did not offer transportation. We really need that for our mom. I loved this place. I was so excited about it. However, my sister and I can't manage getting my mom in and out of the car, so transportation was important to us Brookdale Granger was very homey and clean. Cleanliness was definitely there. The room itself was clean with new carpet. It was painted and ready for someone new to move in. The person who accommodated me was very nice, very informative, friendly and not pushy at all. The dining area was nice. They had quite a few activities.

Brookdale Granger had a very nice atmosphere. I liked how they had a long canopy for the residents if they wanted to sit outside. They had nice benches for them and lovely decorations out there for the season. It was nice because the gal who took us on the tour was absolutely precious. She had my mom sit and wait while I went and got the car and then I drove up and she walked Mom out to the car, which I thought was amazing. She was that caring. I liked their caring attitude. They also had exercise, which was not extremely strenuous but kept you moving and limber and stretching and that type of thing which is very important. I was impressed by the activities. They had a very small library. The people who work there would take your dog out if needed. They were willing to step in and help and that impressed me. We came in contact with many workers. The nurse was in the hallway with the med cart which was locked, but she was out there and assisting with meals and helping folks. I really liked the overall experience, and my mom found it appealing, too. There were fairly large-sized rooms with your own bathroom. The menu was nice. Their building was very nice, neat, clean, and well kept. Their decorations were nice, and the maintenance of the building was good.

This place brookdale they don't do a lot of activities like they say they do its always the same thing every week, they don't do outings like they say they do. I remember when emeritus they took them shopping to get there stuff they need and all kinds of places, but now they don't do anything since brookdale took over, they don't even have parties or get together cause they have no money until they get there rooms filled back up, they didn't even have a trick or treat for the residents grandkids or co-workers kids. That's why my friend took her parent out. Cause they tell you one thing but don't do them

We chose Brookdale Granger for my mom. They have very caring staff. The rooms are super cute. Hers has got a beautiful bay window and a full bathroom. They have different actives like bingo and concerts where people come in and sing quite often. They also have exercise classes. I have not eaten there myself, but they have a very nice dining area.

Brookdale Granger is very good. It's the only one I really went through, and I was so pleased with it, I've decided to use them for my husband. The staff is very good. They seem to be very knowledgeable. Their rooms are very nice. My husband's room is adequate. I would recommend this facility to others.

Emeritus at Arborwood were very helpful, and the people I talked to were kind. The time that my dad was there, they just seemed very good to him. I’m just so very grateful for that. The dining room is lovely, they have tablecloths on the table. I’ve been there when my dad has eaten, and he likes a big cup of coffee. I can tell that they’re getting to know the residents -- and not just the nurses and staff -- but we were talking about the housekeepers, the dining staff all of that; they’re just very good. What I really most is the people there; they are just very accommodating if some of the residents want to go outside, they accompany them. They’re not trying to do the least amount of stuff. His room is kept clean, and they encourage him to do things like make his bed. I just think the staff is remarkable and very good. He participates in activities; he doesn’t just sit in his room. They have a bible study once a week and exercises throwing the ball around. He probably doesn’t do as much as I would want him to do, but they are doing their very best to encourage him, and it feels like home.

Emeritus at Arborwood was nice. In fact, they were just in the middle of redecorating when we went there. The lady that we worked with was very good, very supportive and offered all kinds of suggestion. In fact that's where we are going to send my dad once we get to the situation where my mom can't take care of him anymore. That's the place where he is probably going to go. I would recommend it to other people.

I have chosen Emeritus because it was close. It was clean and neat and the people were nice. They have a lot of activities and they go to places.
