I went to see the memory care unit of Brookdale Burlington. The welcoming by the staff was great. They offered me a pamphlet of information on the cost and the application on the process. They gave me a tour that was very informative. I like the staff that was giving me the tour and information. The people that I saw attending dinner in the dining hall seemed to be doing a good job and well under control. There didn't seem to be a whole lot of commotion, people were sitting, chatting and eating. The food looked good and the overall building seemed to be well-kept and clean. They also showed me the laundry room on the premises, they organize a person's belongings by name. A certain person's stuff could go in on a certain day of the week and they'd get it back. The pricing was a little higher, but I still felt that it was not overrated for the building and the services that I saw was being given. It was a huge place, and their pamphlet also talks about their other amenities. I also walked through the bedroom area that they showed me, it was really nice. When you walk in it has a beautiful grand entrance, and it's well maintained and kept up. Even the space where two people that had to be in the same bedroom had adequate space for them. They have a laundry room unit per section, and four laundry rooms to keep the people from waiting and they could keep up with laundry better. In terms of the food, it seems that everybody was enjoying their meals, and the food looked good. The dining was also clean, and there was enough for tenants and those who could handle seating themselves.

Brookdale Burlington was a great place, it was clean, and all the residents looked happy. We went during dinnertime and the food smelled wonderful. Everything was wonderful, even the lady that greeted us was great. We got to see some of the CNAs assisting the residents at dinner. It looked great. It's located close to a lot of restaurants, there's a Walgreen's close by, there's a mall within five miles and also an outlet center. It's perfect. We saw a double room and it was clean and a good size.

Brookdale Burlington also had a memory care unit. For someone who I needed what I called lots of facilities or for those with Alzheimer’s who could wander away in the neighborhood or in the streets. It was very discreet. They would never know that they were actually in a facility. They could not just go out the door, and walked out.
They really had nice facilities as far as outdoors and things like that. They had flower gardens, and vegetable gardens. Things were quiet; terrain, and everything. My husband in particular liked to plant, and water flowers. They had bowling teams. They went to different activities, parks, and do different things. They had staff that took care of them that was well-trained. The rooms had windows where they could see out. It was really bright, and cheery.

My grandmother had stayed at Clare Bridge for about a month. It was nice, and I liked it. It was a lot bigger than where she's at now. So, it was less personal attention, but it was a good place. I had nothing bad to say about it. She had a very nice room with a private bathroom. They had people come in, and arts and crafts. They had more activities than the place that my grandmother's at now. She liked the food there. It was also clean. The staff was nice. She fell once, and they didn't know. They found her the next morning. So, I don't know how often they checked on her at night. However, they were friendly and helpful.

The director of Clare Bridge showed us around and actually took her time on a Saturday to come meet with us. Everything was nice and we enjoyed it. They showed us a room that would have been available. But my father-in-law could not afford it with his insurance, and my mother-in-law needed total assistance. It would be nice if the price they quoted included total care.

This place smells horribly. They use the excuse of an altzheimer's patient urinating on the carpet, but don't believe it would smell the entire place like that. Also furniture is soiled and smells. Most of the techs are friendly but too busy to give one-on-one time with residents. Residents go downhill quickly in this facility b/c of lack of communication, etc.

Clare Bridge in Burlington is mainly an assisted living facility that is designed for Alzheimer's and Dementia patients however they do have other patients that are able to get around on their own.
The grounds are kept up pretty well but could use a little more flowers and less green. It need more color and less green, if that makes sense.
I did get a tour of the facility and it is quite nice inside and has many of the amenities one would want if they were staying there; like a game room, a salon, a music room, a library and other small available rooms like a sewing room or crafts room.

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.
