Brookdale Delta

Brookdale Delta was smaller. They had several dining areas and they were very clean. The floor plan was the right style. It was on one level and it was very clean, too. They have fewer residents. They have activities for them and they go out to the patio and do various other things.

I liked Brookdale Delta because I felt like it was a little bit smaller community, which I think would be easier for my father to get into and make relationships with. I also liked that it was a little bit more modern. I felt things were taken care of. It was clean. It wasn't long and windy, so I felt that it could be easier for my father to navigate. It was just nice and well taken care of, and the staff seemed nice as well. I was pleased with that. The lady that helped me was very nice. She listened really well and shared the philosophy of the establishment, and I thought it was good philosophy. I felt like she was really trying to understand what things she could learn to help my dad have a good experience.

I had an in-person tour of Brookdale Delta. I like the guy who showed me through and seemed to be in charge. I liked the way he handled everything. He was a very personable person. It was very near the top of my list for quite a while. One of the ladies there said she liked it there a lot. They had just finished lunch when I was there. If they had more people, I would have been more interested in it. Their dining area was near the kitchen. The facility was nice and clean. I thought they could spruce up their entryway. When you come in, what you see right away is where they have some of their entertainment. I thought the carpet was a little bit uninviting, but it felt homey.

We toured Brookdale Delta. What I like the best was that the caregivers never walked by any of the people that lived there without addressing them like saying, 'Hi, how are you doing? Well, hello, I'm glad you're coming out,' like they were part of a family. I love the fact that my mom can go to the kitchen there. My mom likes boiled eggs and cooked prunes, and with supervision, she could go in there and still do all of those, cook her eggs and cook her prunes, so it still keeps her going a little bit. The community was very clean and smelled good. The lady that gave us our tour was very, very nice. It's a little too far from me because I live in Mason. What I like least about it is their shared bathroom. Their rooms have to share a bathroom. My mom is very particular, so what would make it perfect is if they have their own bathroom, but it's not something that would deter me from putting my mom there. I didn't do a meal there, but they said that they would accommodate people with their independent meal choices and have the things that they like there. I like the fact that my mom could still be part of making her own meals so that she keeps herself moving and going, and her mind sharp and all that stuff. They showed me their activities calendar. They had game time. The rooms were a nice size. They had their own windows, which was nice. The room was large enough to where my mom could put her bed. They were willing to let her bring her bed in, which was nice. There's room for her special hutch, a room for a small dresser, and a room for her chair in the corner. I was surprised just how roomy it was. I love everything about it except it's too far away.

Brookdale Delta's places for people to stay reminds me of a hotel room. You just walk in there, and there's only room for a bed. When I walked in there, it didn't have any warmth to it at all. It just seemed like a very cold, barren place. I saw maybe one person, and he looked sad and his head was hanging. The man that I talked to was really nice. The only staff that I met was a nurse. She seemed accommodating, but we wouldn't have needed that. She was available to answer our questions. The layout of the place, and the outside looked very nice. They've got colorful flowers and little gardens. To me, the inside is just very cold and un-inviting. The upkeep was probably good. You know, the outside look better than the inside.

My mother is at Brookdale Delta. Their food leaves a lot to be desired. The majority of the residents don't like the food. They need more caregivers. My mother's room is fine and small but fits her needs. They keep it clean. My mother participates in bingo. They also have different outings to different restaurants and maybe museums. It's very expensive for the care that they are able to provide with their limited staff.
