I went to Brookdale Reno. The furnishings made you feel like you were visiting a grandma's house. Everything was somewhat outdated. For some people, that would work out well, but for others it might not work out too well. For our particular circumstance, we found out that my mom wasn't quite ready for the level of care that they offered.

I have visited a friends mother half a dozen times maybe over the past year and have had similar experience each time. Her mom is dirty & her room stinks, her teeth are in such bad condition that my friend has now started to take her mother to the dentist monthly to get her teeth cleaned. The majority of the staff interact with each other but ignore the residents, and the last time I visited I wanted to speak with a manager regarding these issues and I was sent to a staff member they refer to as a medical technician and when I finally found the girl she was outside playing basketball with a member of The Care staff. Just recently I have started to look for a place for my own father and decided that I wouldn't put him in Brookdale even if it was the last care facility on Earth.

We walked around Brookdale and I think I only saw one caregiver for the four wings. Their attitudes were positive. They said that they had activities, but they didn’t get into the kinds of activities. The rooms are very cute, but one of the downfalls is that the shower for the residents is outside of the room. Everybody showers in the same shower in the hallway. If they’re taking the residents outside of the room to shower, then through the hallway back to the room, they’re going to get cold. Brookdale was expensive. The residents were allowed to go outside and walk around, but everything was fenced in. They had a car out there, too, so the elderly people could still get in that car and feel like they’re driving. That’s one nice thing that they have there for the elderly. They could improve on cleanliness and having more caregivers. Maybe they were busy cleaning something, and that’s why I didn’t see them, but I was looking for them. And there isn't carpet anywhere; it is all hardwood floor, which worries me. If they fall down, they’re going to hit the hard floor.

I urge anyone reviewing care for a loved one to do the research and to look for current dates for any positive reviews. Nothing recent! All down hill and continuing to worsen. Presently, I can without exception express that this facility and administration is the worst example of elder care for our loved ones and should be shut down. I did my research when making the difficult decision to put my loved one in their care. At the time they were an acceptable A rating and within 3 months went to a C rating with constant turnover, poor operations, and poor staff morale.... all translating into poor care due to dishonest administrators including the present head nurse. Resident to staff ratio is not what administrators claimed it to be and were informed of it on several occasions without concern. In addition, to reading reviews please do the research and review complaints submitted to the state. Not for your loved one!

My Mom has live at Emeritus /Plumas /Reno for almost two
years. At one time I moved her to a fancy new memory care, but Ofelia, Dwight and Debbie are MUCH BETTER dealing with dementia patients!!!!! The new fancy place had no experience and was useless when it came to getting my Mom to take her meds etc... She is very happy back at the Emeritus.

We were able to visit the Emeritus at Reno and it is a nice place. It seemed clean to me as well. The staff were all friendly and knowledgeable, and they knew what they had to do, so they were fine. I was able to look at their activities and they were fine as well. They have exercise, card games, TV room, arts and crafts too.

We are very happy with Emeritus at Reno. They have a wonderful staff; very caring to the residents. It is a memory care facility, Alzheimer's primarily, and they have a wonderful staff there that is run by a wonderful lady, and her name is Catherine.

I like the Emeritus, the people especially, but the facility is older and smaller. They did have large bathrooms, but their rooms were very small. Also, they were just wood flooring, and they were quite a bit more expensive too. They did have several small dining rooms, which weren't bad. They also had wonderful activities. The people themselves were lovely. Also, if you have a pet, you could bring your animal there. However, I didn't feel as comfortable there. It felt like a prison to me, and I didn't want that for my husband. They didn't have many men there. I wanted a place that had more men.

My Dad has been at Emeritus for three months. It is a lock down facility so it is very secure.Dad lives in a very small room. The food is o.k., but without any exercise program, Dad has gained 25 pounds which is bad for his heart. The staff that takes care of Dad is competent, compassionate and very patient.However, the Director
is very manipulative and dishonest. I DO NOT recommend
the Emeritus @ Reno as a place for your loved ones.

What Makes Us Special
Our senior community is designed with four memory care "neighborhoods," each with 13 small private studio apartments. Most have views of the courtyard; some with views of the golf course. Each apartment includes a bathroom (no shower for safety reasons), cable access, individually controlled temperature and air conditioning and emergency call buttons. The rooms are small and intimate. Residents are welcome to create their own personal space by decorating their studios anyway they wish. They also have full access to the neighborhood's own living room area, dining room and kitchen and can wander into the other three neighborhoods whenever they wish. In the center of the community is our Town Square, with a wellness center, private dining room, group activities room, a beauty salon, and our community center. The Town Square offers many large windows looking out onto the secured courtyard area. Each neighborhood entrance is located in the Town Square and offers a sitting area with something different that invites engagement - a beautiful fish tank, a piano, a slot machine and in another, stuffed animals and a dollhouse. This is very much a place for residents to observe the world around them, just like if they were in the park, sitting on a bench. This unique set up - with small private rooms, individual neighborhoods and a central Town Square - creates the feeling of a small community within a town and gives residents the personal space they need, while encouraging them to engage with others. Visitors also often remark upon how cheerful, bright and clean our community is.
