When I'm ready to go, I would like to go to Brookdale Santa Fe. I liked all the activities that were available. I like the facility itself. The rooms were nice. The dining area was nice. I talked to residents and they all seemed to be happy there. The staff people were really helpful and seemed excited about working there. Another reason I liked it is it's close to downtown. You can walk to supermarkets and restaurants and so I like the location.

I toured Brookdale Santa Fe. They cannot take care of my husband 24/7. They only assist him every two hours, and he cannot be left unattended because he's a fall risk. He had a hard time walking. It was very clean as you walked in. The dining areas were very clean. I felt welcomed. They had a two bedroom and they had a single bedroom. They have a very nice little kitchenette.

I had a one-night stay at Brookdale Santa Fe. The grounds are very nice and very relaxing. The apartment was quite adequate, with plenty of space. The staff were fine. I know there was exercising, there was a movie night, and I think they played bingo. The day that I left, they went out to a restaurant for lunch. The food is okay. It was balanced nutritionally, and there were small portions, but you could have more if you wanted.

My friend moved into Brookdale Santa Fe. We chose it because they had availability at the time. When we went and visited, the residents seemed very happy, so that meant a lot to us. The staff members are always friendly. I know they're busy and stressed, but they get the job done. My friend is not happy with the food right now. I don't know if it'll change. She said it wasn't much better than the skilled facility that she was in. They've just recently gotten a hairdresser and a salon. They have a game room, a library, and cafeterias.

I toured Brookdale Santa Fe. The grounds were beautiful. There were lots of foliage and trees. There was a beautiful garden in the middle of the compound with a little brook there. It was quite stunning. The rooms were much larger than I expected, and they all came with either a balcony or a patio if they were on the first floor. The staff who toured me was very friendly and knowledgeable. They have a wonderful library, they have a van that takes you around to local shopping, and they also have transportation to doctors. They have a flexible meal plan. You don't have to sign up. I was just going to ask for one, but you get two. It is on the costly side but compared to some of the other ones I've checked out online, it's not that much above or lower than many others. I loved it. I could live there very easily.

I will be moving into Brookdale Santa Fe. The only thing I didn't like about them is, they offered us lunch and it was unappetizing. They don't seem to have any way of improving their food delivery. They have a lot of interesting programs and interesting people, but I could barely eat the lunch they gave us. The room is small, there's a full kitchen and refrigerator. I liked the ground floor. There's a lot of grass and it seems more like you would expect the home to look. They had a nice courtyard you can walk around. They had different activities that for the most part would be helpful for someone like me, like standing physical activities, sitting physical activities, and yoga. If you're in assisted living, they'll set up physical therapy for you. There wasn't anything going on that I got to watch; we went around and saw the different rooms. The person who gave me the tour was friendly and informative. He was the sales manager. He was pretty good, he convinced me that I might want to move there. The food was not appetizing. It might have been for some people. It's just that nowadays, especially in assisted living, they try to offer fresh vegetables and they weren't doing that. All the vegetables were frozen, or iceberg lettuce, just something that wasn't appealing to me. The facility was clean, and the layout was just small. They didn't have any physical therapy, and one very inadequate area to exercise. We could have the dog right next to the elevator and we could go down to the bottom floor where the courtyard was. There was a nice garden down there where I could hang out. They have a real garden that people could spend time in. They were very nice, interesting people. There were these outside areas that were very nice. We'll have an apartment next to the elevator on the third floor, and just take the elevator down to the ground floor. As soon as you arrive there, there's a courtyard and a more natural environment.

Brookdale Santa Fe was a very nice facility. It was clean. The rooms were nice, and I think you get a lot of value for your money there. They have activities and a shuttle bus to take the residents around to go shopping or to doctor's appointments. They have a hair salon, too. The staff who gave me the tour was knowledgeable about the place and was able to answer all my questions. He was a pleasant, nice person.

Brookdale Santa Fe is within walking distance of places like the vet, the hair stylist, the drugstore, and Trader Joe's. The staff members are extremely, extremely good. They care about everybody and they take care of everything. My room is about 450 square feet. I have a little kitchen, a walk-in area, a nice living room, a balcony off my living room, a nice bedroom, and a good bathroom. The food is sometimes really good and sometimes not so good. Now that we're getting back into things, there is exercise every single morning, and we play bingo three times a week. They clean my apartment once a week. There's a big library and a beauty salon. We have a big courtyard with a fish pond. My balcony overlooks the courtyard; it's absolutely beautiful, and my cats are out there at 6:30 a.m. They do not charge extra for pets. There are quite a few cats and dogs here. The activities are coming up; they went down because of the virus.

I went to Brookdale Santa Fe. It wasn't clean. I met the family of some of the residents, and they said the food was not that great, and they were not taking care of them as they should have been. I had a scheduled appointment and they were not ready for me when I arrived. They need to get their act together and be more organized, as well as clean the place a bit.

Brookdale Santa Fe had very nice people, nice programs, and nice rooms. We were there for lunch and it was very good. They have a library, a pool table, a little workout room, a meeting place in the area that they watch movies, and a dining area.

Compared to others, Brookdale Santa Fe was very small but well located in the city. The place seemed clean. The rooms were small but OK. They had a very small exercise room and dinner daily but there's no breakfast; that's up to you. There was a lady staff member who took us around and was very good, but she left shortly afterwards. I'd like a larger community.

I recently had occasion to get a tour of Brookdale in Santa Fe. Wow! what a great facility. beautiful gardens, plenty of common areas to meet people and do activities from playing cards, to bingo, to reading to arts and crafts. I also had the opportunity to enjoy a meal at Brookdale, which was healthy and nutritious and delicious. Who knew this senior living facility was right in our neighborhood!

I liked Brookdale Santa Fe. It was fairly standard and had a fairly good location. It had all the standard amenities like a library, media rooms, and community rooms, which were all quite good. The staff was very nice, quite helpful, and sent me a brochure. The rooms appeared to be standard with nothing outstanding about them, but I liked them. Everything was fairly institutional. Brookdale was actually pretty good but looked a little disorganized. The community was pretty standard.

I visited a friend’s dad at Ponce de Leon. I did not think his apartment was horrible or remarkable. It was just fine. I remember going past the outdoor area, and it was beautiful and very attractive. It was homey.

My Mom moved here from a larger New England duplex one year ago into a smaller (1 bdrm) assisted living apartment. She really likes it and is very happy (even though he doesn't have access to a car).. The people are genuinely friendly and the facility is open and warm. There are numerous activities and a shuttle for residents convenience (shopping, bank). She has made some acquaintances.

My brother was temporarily moved to Ponce De Leon for a couple of weeks. The staff is good and they are attentive to the special needs of the patients. They have many activities there and the food is excellent.

The Ponce de Leon had smaller rooms. I thought it was dated and they could do with fixing it up. I only visited once, but the staff was friendly though. It's a good location.

I visited Ponce De Leon and I liked it very much. Everybody was very nice. They showed me an apartment and they seemed very well. I would recommend this facility to other people.
