We liked Brookdale North Oaks. It seemed like a nice, clean, kind of bright facility. They had courtyards which are pretty nice for people to get outside. The rooms were decent-sized. They showed common areas, places where you could have a birthday celebration or that type of thing or if they had family come, and bathroom shower areas they set up separately from the rooms just for safety purposes. Everything looked good.

Brookdale North Oaks is very nice. The rooms are kind of in little groupings or areas, and then they do activities in those small little areas, they kind of call them neighborhoods. The rooms are nice, they're kind of like a studio type of apartment where it just has a room for the bed, a private bathroom, and an area where you could put some chairs. They're not big, but they're nice. The staff was very friendly. The dining area is very nice, it's one big dining area for the whole building, but it's a relatively small area. They all eat together in the same room. The facility is very nicely kept up and very clean and nice.

Keep your loved ones far away from this facility. The incompetency of so many employees is not to be believed. The very first day my dad was there, they checked his medical records and ordered every single prescription or supplement he had used in the past several years, even though he wasn't on any of them anymore. We got a bill for $1700 because they didn't bother to ask us if he actually used any of them. We're still fighting the bill for this 6 months later. Also, they can't keep employees very long. We've been dealing with admin people there regarding the bill but there have been at least 3 different people in the position in a very short time, and none of them seem to know what's going on. We keep getting bills for all kinds of different amounts, including $0. When we try to call someone to find out what we actually owe, no one returns the calls. If we show up at the facility, the admin person is not in. The corporate office sent a letter stating we had 5 days to pay an invoice (that now has a late fee of $250) or it will go to a collection agency; however, after speaking with someone in the corporate office, it had already been sent to a collection agency a while ago. The person I spoke to at the corporate office placed the blame 100% on my family, even though we have tried repeatedly and have gone to a lot of trouble to find out what we actually owe and to get rid of amounts we never should have had to pay in the first place. These people have no compassion, common sense or integrity.

My husband has already been established at Brookdale North Oaks. They have a friendly staff and it's reasonably clean. The rooms are nice. They have exercise class and music, my husband doesn't want to be involved but they have activities every day. They go on a circle and they do exercises and sing, everybody's pretty much in a wheelchair so they can't do too much. My husband says the food is very good, and he's pretty fussy so I would say it's good. Price-wise, they're about the same as the market everywhere else. Some places are $1000 more than what I pay or what everybody else is charging, but there are not many places that are cheaper than this one.

Brookdale North Oaks was a smaller community. I liked the employees that I met there, and the director was nice. They were all just lovely employees. The place appeared to be very clean. There were people sitting in one room, and they were playing a game when I was there. They had a small patio area too. The rooms were also smaller; but then in order to take a shower, you had to go across a hall.

Brookdale North Oaks was very nice, it's very clean and it smells good. Everything about it is fine; my mother just doesn't want to go there right now. Everybody was very nice. They were doing different things, but it's something my mother would never do anyway because she's not social. They have a beauty shop, they had the different things that the people could do there, and they had a place where they can go out to. They can't go outside, but it's like being outside. They have some offsite activities, games, fitness room. It was nice; my dad was very happy with it and I was happy with it but we just know that my mom won't be happy with it because she wants to be home.
