My tour of Brookdale Monroe was excellent. The staff gave us a full review of the rooms, the activities, and what was available. They had cooking classes and they showed me the dining room. The facility looked very nice. The staff was very helpful. I did meet with the director and the person who does the activities. I liked this facility. It did not smell like a nursing home and it felt very homey.

Brookdale Monroe was fantastic. It was spotless. The people seemed very friendly and caring. It felt like a resort. It was nice. I would move in there myself. They have a lot of things for the residents to do. It's comforting to know that my aunt will be in a good place once she's there. The apartments were spacious and clean. They had neutral colors. You can personalize it yourself and make it yours. The bathrooms were big and senior-friendly. So, if a person's in a walker or a wheelchair, then they're going to have an easier time navigating than if they were in a private home bathroom. The staff was wonderful. The lady shared a lot of information and answered every question I had. I have nothing but praise for her. She did a fantastic job. I saw the kitchen, the eating area where people can socialize, the beauty salon, the physical therapy room, the courtyard, and the vestibule. It was nice. I think I saw everything. It was really pretty. The food smells good, so it looks good, too. The dining area was spacious and clean. There's plenty of room for people to get around if you have a walker or a cane or a wheelchair. So, they're not on top of each other. It was a very large room. It was empty at the time because of the time of the day that I went, but I would imagine when it's full, it's going to be easy for them to navigate getting around. I knew as soon as I pulled in how immaculate the grounds were. I just expected it would be that way inside and it was. It was clean and orderly. I have nothing negative to say about cleanliness. It looked like it was very well maintained.

Brookdale Monroe was lovely. It gave you a very nice feeling when you walked in. I heard music, and I love music. The staff said it was a samba class, so I know that they have that activity there. Anyone I met was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable, and it seemed like they stayed there for a long time. It was pleasant, nice, and welcoming. If I needed it, I would definitely give it strong consideration. The woman I spoke with was extremely pleasant. She introduced me to a head nurse there, who I thought was very nice and pleasant. On the whole, it was a very good vibe I came away with.

The staff at Brookdale Monroe was really, really good. Even though my mother didn't end up staying there because of her condition, they called me. Pat, the salesperson there, was the one who called me and said call the other place. Every step of the way she was just a gem. I would put my mother there for sure, but they couldn't take her just because of their policy. She's absolutely wonderful. She's on the top of my list. The other staff are great, too. The fact that they connect with all the residents there and the residents love the staff. They talk to them. They're like, "Oh, hi, what are you doing? Come over, we're doing karaoke tonight. Are you gonna come, Pat?" They gave me muffins, which were pretty good. The facility was very nice. They have a little exercise room, a library, a studio, a TV room, and a game room. They were doing an activity when I was there. They were doing charades, and when I left, they were doing trivia. They were keeping them active. What I really liked the most about that community was they were very compassionate, and you could tell the passion was there, and they cared about their residents.

We toured Brookdale Monroe. It was fine. That was the first one we went to. They're in the middle of a renovation. There was some construction going on. Overall, it was nice. I didn't think the food was that great there. It didn't look as good as the other two places. They had a one-bedroom and a studio. They showed us a one-bedroom. They had pretty much the same amenities. They had a common area for everyone. It wasn't nearly as nice as the other two. The memory care unit was small. There were fewer patients in there, so everything is a little bit smaller. I wasn't impressed with the dining room. It wasn't as elaborate as the other two. The other ones looked more like a restaurant, and this was more of a homey kind of look. The people there were very nice. The staff who assisted us was great.

I went to look at Brookdale Monroe. The sales manager seemed more sensitive to my aunt's needs. I saw a studio, but I was not able to see the two-bedroom. The studio was clean, but it was a little small. I saw a TV lounge, a dining area, and a little café. Some places were under renovation, like the salon. They have a little patio area.
