"I toured Oak Hill Terrace Senior Living. The amenities and the room are fine. It was just a little bit too far away from my brothers when they had to come and help me out. The staff was excellent. They had gyms and dining areas."

"My dad is a resident of The Auberge at Brookfield. They are a very nice community, very clean, and nicely furnished. Everyone that you come in contact with is always accommodating and very friendly. He seems to be getting good care and good food. There's a chef on staff. They're also willing to accommodate you if you don't like what's on the menu for the day. They can take something else. It has been a positive experience. It's somewhat modern and it's roomy. He has a nice view of the courtyard. He hasn't really participated in a lot, but they do have a lot of things that they do with the residents. They do try to keep them socializing, but it depends on the individual. I have no regrets about putting them there, but that is very costly."

"My mother had been at Brookdale for several months when COVID hit the U.S. The way this facility and its staff has reacted and continued to perform has been stellar. My brothers and I receive regular updates on her care, complete with photos, as well as information about how they are keeping her safe and happy in these difficult times. I couldn’t be happier with the care, the food, and the staff. "

"My aunt stayed at Discovery Commons Brookfield, which was very nice but pricey. The people who worked there were wonderful. The facility was new and clean. It was state of the art, but parking was also a problem there. The rooms were smaller than the ones I looked at for my mom, but they were very nice. They did have very nice walk-in showers with a seat hanging from the wall, which was very nice so my aunt could be independent in showering herself. I ate lunch with my aunt, and the food was very good."

"What I liked best about Brookdale Brookfield Capitol Dr was the dedication and personal involvement of the director. He has been in very frequent contact with me by email, sending me information about things that I am interested in so that I'm able to get a full picture of what life is like there without actually having lived there. I'm able to see information from people and families that live there. I liked that they had a central outdoor patio where residents could freely go to relax or take care of flowers or do outdoor activities. There were several common living room areas and they were just homey and comfortable spaces. I've had contact with four staff members and they were all wonderful."

"I liked Layton Terrace. I could stay there, but I don't need to. It was new, open, and seemed clean. The lady that showed us around was very nice, seemed pretty organized, and they had everything that my parents probably would need. I would put them there, but ultimately it comes to what they want. It's close to grocery stores and shopping. It seemed pretty well situated. I liked it because it was smaller, and it's better for my own personal taste. We actually just saw a 1-bedroom apartment, then the lady showed us around the major space there. They didn't wanna show you around too much because of the COVID situation though."

"We liked The Arboretum Senior Living. It seemed very nice. The man who showed us around was really helpful. The only thing that we didn't like about it for my dad was that it would require a lot of walking from his room. The hallways are very long, and my dad's not super good at walking. There's nowhere to stop and rest in the hallway. He would have to ride in a wheelchair every time he wanted to go down to eat. And I feel like he's going to just say, "I'm not going to eat that meal." So he's going to skip it because it's too far away. The lobby and the dining room were like a hotel. There was someone playing piano in the lobby, and everybody who lived there seemed happy. They're all sitting around, drinking, or snacking. For other people who don't have a problem with walking, I could see it would be a very nice place. They are redoing some of their rooms. I wasn't pleased with some of the rooms that we saw. There wasn't a lot of counter space in the bathroom. The cabinets and stuff kind of looked older. But the rooms were very big, so that was nice."

"My mother has been a resident for over a year. My siblings and myself find the care given our mother to be giving, kind, attentive and thoughtful. We can not imagine a better environment for our mom as her disease progresses. The staff has been outstanding. Our family highly recommends The Auberge at Oak Village. "

"I toured Franklin Place Memory Care. The facility was very clean, very well maintained, and welcoming. I like the idea that they had different pods, and each pod was named after birds or a harbor. Then they had framed pictures on the walls so that the residents could recognize, like, 'Oh, birds! This is where I live.' They had shadow boxes outside of each room where the family could put pictures or memorabilia, so that the patient could recognize that it was their room. I think the activities that they had scheduled would be very beneficial. We were very, very happy with what they had to offer. It was very expensive. Nevertheless, the staff members were so welcoming and very friendly. And they answered all our questions."
