I toured Brookdale Painted Post. It's a large facility. It's all on one floor. It was clean. I didn't hear any complaints about the food. They have good activities. It's fairly close to my home here, so I can go to church and have my friends visit. It's a fairly rural location so you can walk about the premises. They have games and they have a beauty shop for haircuts. I called them today and they were just informative.

I toured Brookdale Painted Post. I liked best the information that they provided. She was great. This is very informative and gave me the information that I needed. The room was clean and a good size. I thought the atmosphere was great, but I didn't have an opportunity to either try or go through the cafeteria area or the dining area. I had a chance to look at the calendar of activities, and it seemed like they had ample activities for the residents there. The outside was very nice. It was clean and kept up. I was pleased with the tour and what they provided at that time.

I chose Brookdale Painted Post because it seemed very friendly. They also have lanyards around their neck where they can push a button if they need help in their room. My dad just got there. The staff is friendly, very organized, and informative. They have very good food with a wide variety. I'm not allowed inside. It just seems like they can handle almost anything that could happen. I questioned them about several things like, "What if this happens or that happens?" and they can handle almost anything that comes up.

Brookdale Painted Post is a nice place. However, it seems more like apartment-living than assisted living, because I don't feel that my mom is getting the extra help that she needs. She shares a room. She has a bed, a dresser, a chair, and a bathroom, which she shares with her roommate. The food seems to be good. The community seems like a very nice place and I am really happy to get my mom in there, but I have some concerns about it.

I visited Brookdale Painted Post a couple of times. It was nice and looked very safe. I liked that they had a lot of activities and games to keep them active. The staff was excellent and very caring. I liked the place because it was close to where my relative's family was, even though it was far away from me. There was a bus that took them places.

Right now my mom is staying in Brookdale Painted Post. We have a very good positive experience. The room arrangements are fantastic. She has a two-room apartment, and it is actually gorgeous. The staff there is so kind, and takes great care of all the residents. They have a wonderful executive director, and he is leading the staff with a really positive vision. It is a really nice place. The food is good. I enjoy my meal every time I eat with my mom. They have good activities.

My mother-in-law moved to Emeritus mid-December. We chose it because it is close by, and it is one that is recommended by your website. Our experience has been pretty good. My mother-in-law is not very sociable, and she's always been a loner. So, I am having a little difficulty having her involved in things that goes on there because there is something every day. She also has a hearing problem, and she's 93 years old, but she is adapting a lot better than we thought she would. Overall, we are quite pleased. The staff seems to be fine. They are able to answer any question that I have for them, and they are just very friendly. The rooms are great. I think they can improve on the way they do the meals. My mom doesn't want to go to lunch, because it is so close to breakfast time, and she is not ready, therefore, she quite often doesn't go to lunch. At lunchtime, they ask you what you want for dinner, and so with her not being in there at lunchtime, she is told that she has a peanut butter sandwich, and I just didn't feel that it is adequate. So, I may have to talk to them about that and see what they can do.

Our father suffers from strokes and some dementia and health issues. He is a proud widower who does not think he needs assisted living. After my sister tried to care for him at home (he is a two-assist at times) we all realized this was not a safe option. He spend a few months at a local rehab facility where the care was so poor that we swore we could never "place" him anywhere. We were convinced this level of care was all there was. Then we found Emeritus. Wow. There IS great care out there. Suck kind people. They treat my dad with dignity, the always address him by name. They bring him snacks. The bus driver there even picked up 2 boxes of his favorite candy for him this week. We finally feel like we can relax. I highly recommend this home.

Emeritus is a beautiful facility. The staff was very nice. The food was very good too. However, my husband didn't want to be there. He was there for 2 days but ran away twice.

The amenities seemed top notch. Especially the barber. The staff was friendly and new most people by name. THe facilities seemed a little old. All in all, it is average.

Visited the Painted Post facility for purposes of finding a placement for my Dad. He had previously lived in an Assisted Living Facility, but that one only had one level of care. We thought this one would work well for him. We were impressed about how nice the facility is, clean, grounds well groomed, friendliness of staff.
We decided to move our Dad there.
