Brookdale Weddington Park

Brookdale Weddington Park was an absolutely lovely place. The young lady there that I talked to was just phenomenal. I didn't get to talk to anyone in-depth, but I saw them interacting with the residents. I liked the interaction between the residents and the staff. The only thing about that particular place was there were so many women. I was trying to look for a place with a kind of healthy balance of men and women because I needed my dad to be somewhere where he can kind of relate. The facility was very beautiful and they had very good-sized rooms. When I was leaving, they had a man come. He had his guitar and all the residents came out, the ones that wanted to come out and listen to him play music. The lady who was giving me the tour said that he comes every week, and I like that about it. They had a lot of activities listed; that's one of the things that stood out.

My mother moved into Brookdale Weddington Park. It is beautiful, clean, modern, well-kept, and light and airy. The staff is attentive including the director and the sales manager. They have a puzzle room, exercises, and music. The dining area is also clean.

My dad went in to Brookdale Weddington Park in early June. I like the facility. It is very clean, and it is bright. The staff has been really great to us. They really seem to care about their residents. I popped in over there to see my dad, and everything always looks right. Everybody seems happy. Each member of the staff, from the administrator to the sales person, to the nurses, to the maintenance guys – I've worked with all of them, and they're very helpful. To get into the facility, my dad actually had to take the highest priced largest room, but they promised me I could have the first smaller room that came available for him, and within a month, they did that. When they changed residents, they totally changed the carpet and paint in the room. We moved my dad three days ago into the smaller room that is $760 cheaper a month. They were very great. Their maintenance and the ladies there moved everything, and they didn't charge us anything for that. My dad has gained 3 pounds, so I don't think the food is terrible. The kitchen interacts with the people, I have seen the plates, and the food doesn't look terrible, so I would say the food is probably good. They do have a lot of activities, but my dad doesn't participate in them. They take them to Wal-Mart, and they take them out to the Billy Graham Library. About every week, they have some kind of a field trip. Also they have an activity lady that comes in, and they do handicrafts things. There are more activities going on than my dad wants.

It was very beautiful.  The people at our church had volunteered in Brookdale Weddington Park (Formerly Weddington Park), and they really loved their staff.  The first room that you see is this beautiful library type room, and that's very appealing.  The staff was great, and a lot of them had followed up with us a lot.  The rooms were not quite as spacious and were a little darker.  The ones we saw have just one window in the bedroom.  It was fine; I just didn't like the layout as much. It was all one room versus something more segregated.  They had buses going to places.

Brookdale Weddington Park was very nice. I would have put my mother there. The reason we chose the other place is because of its proximity to where we live. The staff seemed to be very professional, and -- from what I saw -- they cared for the residents. The rooms were very nice, the facility was well-maintained, the outside appearance was very nice, and when you go in, it was very nice. The surroundings were well-kept. As far as the shrubbery and all that type of stuff, it was pretty clean. It is in close proximity to shopping, so if the residents wanted to go out shopping, it would not be a long drive. They had people coming in to sing, and they had singing and church activities. While I was there on one of my visits, they had a lady in there doing Zumba.

We were quite impressed with The Weddington, and we liked it very much. The rooms were very nice.
