Brookdale Painted Post

My father has moved into Brookdale Painted Post. He gets his meals provided three times a day, and there are a lot of different activities that they pull him out of his room to do. And he's comfortable there. He will be having a roommate in his room. The interaction with the staff is good. There are common areas, but I don't see them getting used very much. They have a salon and a garden area outside, too. It's a little dated inside but it seems to be maintained well.

My mom used to live at Brookdale Painted Post. It's a very well-kept facility. There's a lot of good people working there. They're very caring, and it was a pleasant place. We hated to leave. But the only issue is my mother had a level of dementia that they were not equipped to handle. They probably shouldn't have accepted my mom, but it's hard to evaluate somebody that you don't know that well, and my mom does okay for periods of time, and then she has issues. The staffing at night was not adequate for my mom's level of care. During the day it was fantastic. There were no issues, but during the night, let's say after 8:00 to the morning hours was minimal. I never ate it, but my mom seemed to do well with the food. They were fantastic with activities. They brought a lot of people in and played music and had sing-alongs. They did crafts, all kinds of crafts. They did some cooking. They did a lot of stuff that was very, very impressive.

The tour I had at Brookdale Painted Post was very good. The facilities are a bit dated, but it's still in very, very good shape. The residents seemed happy to be there and I believe the care is quite good in all honesty. I'm sure it is. The person that gave the tour was very good and very dedicated to what she was doing. They're a little pushy, trying to get people in there, but it's a corporate thing and I'm not condemning them for that. They just have a little bit different attitude from the other facility I visited. The dining area was very nice, and one thing I liked was they insisted on the residents getting out of their rooms and coming down and participating, which I think is a good thing, for them to get out and socialize.

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.
