Brookdale Bowling Green

My friend is a resident of Brookdale Bowling Green. I think they've been fantastic. They took her at a moment's notice when she was getting out of the hospital, and I have not had one complaint since I've had her there in the last two years. They have them baking, and playing games and they celebrate their birthdays with all kinds of goodies. The staff has been in, even through the pandemic times. They kept all their patients and followed the rules; my friend never got anything, and the doctor and staff did a great job. She's been well cared for, and she doesn't have any complaints. They're always friendly. One of the things that I like about them is their security system, because I had her at another place when she was still pretty well, and she kept getting out of that place. Here, only the staff has the codes and they let you in and out, so that's a nice extra thing as well. I've never had any food, but they seem to have good meals.

Brookdale Bowling Green was very nice. The people were really, really personable and caring. The staff was really nice, answered all our questions, explained everything, and even talked about finances. The facility was very clean and very well-kept. That's what I liked most about it. I was very impressed with it. The rooms were very nice, with new appliances and completely remodeled. The location was even better. It was easy to go to, and it was in a nice setting. It wasn't far from the main places in the city to go shopping, so it was really convenient.

Our experience with Brookdale Bowling Green has been good. My grandmother does not like it, but it is what it is. She's not really talking to me at the moment, but when I call and check on her and speak to her nurses, they say she's becoming social and starting to come around a little bit. I was able to learn the different rooms that they offer, the sizes, and their meals. They just started opening up their cafe and all that again, and slowly starting to let members of the community come back out and eat together while still socially distancing. But at least they're able to come out of their rooms now more. I was able to get an idea of her day and what all goes into her day. They've all been super great. The staff that I've spoken with has been phenomenal. She keeps me up-to-date with anything and everything, so I'm quite pleased. Given the circumstances of Covid-19, our overall experience has gone as good as it can go. Everybody's really trying their best given Covid-19, it's different, but overall it has not been bad. The building itself is pristine outdoorwise. I've not been inside obviously, I've not seen where she's staying given Covid-19. I am aware that last week, they opened their dining, and they informed me that my grandmother has started coming out to some of the activities, but I'm not sure what those activities are.

My husband is in Brookdale Bowling Green. They have very nice single rooms. It has a sleeping area, a sitting area, a bathroom, a microwave, and a stove, and it's very adequate. Because of the virus they're eating in their rooms and there's very little activity. They try to get bingo in the hallways and do some other things. They have a facility for people who have Alzheimer's. The food is OK. They get three meals a day. The breakfast is pretty standard. They have bacon and eggs, sausage, and cold or hot cereal. Lunch is the main meal of the day and they get five choices, and the same for dinner. They serve wine or beer and that's part of lunch or dinner. They dispense his medication for him, and they have someone help him pick out his clothes. It's very friendly and very warm. Everything is clean. They take good care of the facility. The staff is very good. They have a lovely courtyard in the center where they have flowers and nice seating, and they have sunrooms. It's a good facility, but it's old.

Brookdale Bowling Green was nice and a good place. They showed me everything, the dining, the different kinds of rooms. They talked to me and asked me about my dad. They were very thorough. They were good, and I'm actually considering this place. The staff who gave the tour was also good. I felt at home and I liked it, they made me feel comfortable. The facilities are all good.

Brookdale Bowling Green was very nice. Everyone was very friendly. The residents were active. The rooms that I saw were occupied, and the residents had company then and were happy. The rooms were all small, but they seemed fine. There was a hairdresser in the beauty shop. There were people in the dining area. There was a little kitchen area that's available for use for the residents. They take the residents to activities in the area. I know in the summer, the parks have activities, and they take residents to that.
