My mom is in Clare Bridge. It's great, homey, and clean. The staff is very helpful and very nice. The food is fine. My mom is not enjoying activities because she has Alzheimer's; however, she is tolerating them. She has only been there for four months, so she is still adjusting. In general, she seems very happy.

The management at Brookdale is horrible. The picture they paint before your loved one goes there is not reality. The staff turnover is horrible and most of the staff is untrained. Don't try to visit on the weekend, you have to ring a bell and wait for someone to let you in. They are so short staffed on weekends you can stand a log time.. The bottom line at Brookdale is how much profit can we make,. management cares nothing about the residents.

My mom is a resident of Brookdale Clinton. It's locked, so you have to ring the bell to get in, which I don't like. Anyone that comes in has to sign in, and if you want to take the person out that you've come to see, you'd have to sign them in and out as well. That's how they would be able to know where their residents are. It's a small place and I don't think there's more than 70 residents. It has a small dining room, a TV room, theater room, and a pool table. They have a few different activities going on every day, and about once a month or so, they take those that can go on trips to farms or restaurants and so on. It's very clean and the staff is nice. She's in assisted living now, so they give her a shower, and take care of her room and cat. I wasn't as happy with the memory care unit as much as I was with the independent care section. At first, we felt she wasn't getting enough attention and it's quite expensive for her to be there since its private. So I talked to them about my concerns and now they seem to have been fixed. The food is good and the chef is the same one for the independent care as well.

They don't have regular staff. Four day work week for full time. Constantly losing staff due to poor management practices, and a lack of appreation for staff. Always short staffed. Staff complain about conditions in front of everyone. Very negative environment for a loved one.

The staff at Brookdale Clinton is excellent. It's small with only 40 residents. It is basically in the field, all wooded with lots of birds and wildlife. It has a good-sized access road before you even get to the buildings. The layout is kind of a big square and easy to maneuver once you get used to it. I just have to sign in and out if I want to bring my brother out, and there isn't a curfew. The food is really good. The dining area looks like a fancy restaurant with tablecloths, place mats, cloth napkins.

I like everything about Brookdale Clinton. The staff is good, and my dad seems comfortable there. As far as I know, the food is good. We are very satisfied.

My Mother is at Clare Bridge and I couldn't be happier. The Director's office is on-site and he constantly spends time with the residents and is always available to family members. Mom's room is lovely as are the grounds, and the facility looks and feels homey; not like a nursing home. They have many activities for the residents. Every resident appears well cared for. I know that the staff genuinely loves my Mother and they are exceptionally kind to her. Many of the other residents are kind and sweet as well. She looks years younger since she arrived, she smiles a lot, gets a lot of physical therapy, exercise, and social time. She's doing great and I don't worry about her being loved and cared for.

That's why we provide balance in our residents' capabilities, personalities, and preferences to create daily routines that enhance their spirits and increase their sense of purpose. We believe the amount of satisfaction our Alzheimer's and dementia care residents receive from the tasks that fill their days goes a long way to maintaining their sense of purpose and overall satisfaction with life. An integral part of this is our promise to encourage each resident to find Daily Moments of Success. To help our residents achieve these moments, our associates receive the tools and training needed in such key areas as specialized dining and the ongoing monitoring of healthcare and behavioral needs, to name a few.
