We were pretty impressed with Brookdale McPherson. I liked the size of the place, the arrangement, and the people. It just seemed like it was a very personal kind of a place where someone would be comfortable, adjust, and feel at home. The staff was very personable, very knowledgeable, and just a great gal. They have a courtyard in the center, and it's really nice. It would be great to be able to go out and still be in a protected area.

I visited Brookdale McPherson. It's small, very inviting, and clean. The rooms were nice, and the people were nice. The staff were very friendly, they are very informative and treated me nicely. The rooms were very clean and smells good. It has a nice arrangement; it would be a nice place to be.
I saw the dining area. It was just the right size for 30 people, and it looked like you would be with a family type of thing. The facility looked fine. It looks like they do take care of the building. They showed me a model apartment, and what that would be like; it was nice. They have a salon, and they have a courtyard that's enclosed so that you can stay out of the wind.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Brookdale McPherson. My sister and I went to visit them, and we were just taken back by the facility, the people, and everything. We've got my mom moved in. She's adapting and doing well, and so we're very pleased.
She has a small apartment that's got a little microwave, a mini fridge, and a little countertop (so she can have some of her own food and things that we bring for her). She has her little area that has a television and a loveseat. It's not huge (but it doesn't have to be), and what's nice about it, she can keep her door open, so when people go by, they can visit with her. She's getting a lot more interaction with other people than what she had before. She also has a nice walk-in shower in the bathroom, but they also have larger apartments that are for married couples.
Their dining room is nice. They always have lemonade, tea, and ice water. People can come and get it. There's an area where people can come together and watch television. They do games, like Wheel of fortune type of games and puzzles.
It is sort of like a square, and they have little areas in each of those corners. Then they've got an area in the center of it where you can go outside. They have so many nice people, and they're just so friendly. They are amazing. My mom is not someone who goes out to play some games and stuff, but they have gotten her out to do some different things and encourage her. So, there's plenty to do if she wants to do it.

Brookdale is OK, it has 31 rooms, it was real quiet, and the staff was friendly. I came at a time when they were sitting for lunch, and no one was really talking at the table. Transportation was a concern; they have one vehicle, so it has to be prearranged. They have to rely on local transportation or senior buses for other stuff. They have an activities director.
