The Chateau at Gardnerville

My visit to Brookdale Gardnerville was fine, but it was way too expensive. They charge for every little thing so it was cost-prohibitive. It was a lovely facility, but it's just way overpriced.

My mother-in-law will move to Brookdale this Saturday. It is beautiful and immaculate and has two restaurants they can walk into and order their meal. It's like a timeshare community. They have buses that take them to doctors, and two buses that take them on trips. They have a computer room, classes that teach them to work on computers, and a movie room.

I toured Brookdale Gardnerville. it wasn’t suitable, not because of the facility, which was beautiful, but because my husband needed more care than assisted living. He needed home health, but he passed away before we could do that. The facility was lovely and very suitable for someone who needed assisted care but not medical care. It’s very well kept and had a nice, clean smell. They had a dining room and activities, and everyone there took their meals in the dining room. Had the circumstances been different, that would have been where I would have moved. For my husband, being quadriplegic and not able to move, the only room available was on the third floor and they had a fire drill while we were there, which means that the elevators don’t work. It wouldn’t be a very good place for someone with his condition to be on the third floor when there was a fire because you wouldn’t be able to move him.

Brookdale Gardnerville was a little too large for my dad. There were too many residents. However, it looked clean, everybody seemed very friendly, and the residents seemed fine.

My girlfriend's stepfather has been in Brookdale Gardnerville (Formerly Emeritus at Gardnerville) for over a month now. The staff was very nice. The place appeared clean, and the apartments did look well cared for. We only walked past the dining room, it had some tablecloths on individual tables, and there were four people to a table. It had a very pleasant atmosphere.

I am currently at Brookdale Gardnerville for about a year and a half now. It’s a good facility, and the staff is very caring. They try to give you a hand if you need anything. When I first came in, they asked me if I wanted to have my laundry done, I said that would be great so they took my laundry, and I have never got a piece of clothing back. They lost it all. Nobody did anything about it.

I was very pleased with Brookdale in Gardnerville, but I am just checking out my options at this point. They have just about everything and anything you want to do, and they take them out on excursions. Like I said, everything you could possibly think of that you want to do, they seem to provide. I was very impressed. It was extremely clean, very well-maintained, and the residences were just the right size for my mom. They had open dining from 7 am to 7 pm. It was a restaurant type of menu, and they can choose from the menu at anytime they like.
