Brookdale Kettering was very nice. It was just a lovely place. There are plenty of places for people to go and do stuff. The staff was professional and very nice. I liked that each of the residents in the independent living had an external exit and an internal entrance to their place. They have a little outside patio, and it was screened in. They have a couple of different floor plans to choose from. The facility was very clean and spacious. The dining arrangement was very nice.

I toured Brookdale Kettering. The facility is older. They didn't have all the services. They had independent living and assisted living. They didn't have memory care. However, I had a pleasant visit. The lady I met was fine. She was very cordial and helpful. I saw the dining room, and that was nice. I visited an apartment, and the only thing that I was concerned about is they have a screened-in porch, it's three steps from your living room down into it, and I didn't like that. I wasn't overall impressed with the facility. If I'm looking at that and I have any physical issues, that would be a concern, going down three stairs. However, the price was reasonable. It was in my ballpark.

I wasn't impressed with Brookdale Kettering. The floor squeaked loud. They had a screened-in porch, which was nice, but you had to go down steps, so anyone that has a walker couldn't use that. I wasn't impressed with the rooms. They were very small, and they didn't have enough storage. For extra money, I could have rented a storage downstairs, but I didn't want to do that. We weren't interested at all. The staff who gave us the tour was very nice, very friendly, and very helpful. However, I didn't see any of the residents walking around. The whole area was empty. The staff said they had activities. They mainly had board games, card games, and that kind of stuff. They had an exercise bicycle, but it was out in the hallway. In a different hallway, they had another one, but you had to stand out in the hallway to use it. No TV, no music, or anything to go with it. The dining area seemed very nice. It was large with tablecloths, napkins, and flowers. It was past dinnertime, so they sent us some food home to try. The food was very good.

The staff at Brookdale Kettering was professional, courteous, and willing to answer questions. I saw their common areas, areas where they have crafts, and the library. I saw the dining area, and it looked nice and clean. I didn't taste any food. I saw the menu and it looked like they had a lot of nice variety. I think that they need to do some updating. They need a facelift somewhat.

Brookdale Kettering was outdated. The room that they had available for my dad caused safety concerns. They need to update things. The carpentry in the apartment was probably from the 70s. The bedroom that I saw had a decent size. The staff was very friendly. They had a gym and a salon. Because it's old, it's very difficult to know if it's dirty or not. The facility was located fairly close to hospitals and close to shopping.

My dad stayed at Brookdale Kettering. I thought the atmosphere was very welcoming and it felt like home. He really enjoyed the room he had because he had a one-bedroom and a patio where he could look outside, and it felt like home to him. So, that was very nice. The staff was very kind and I think they did a good job. I really had a good rapport with everyone I talked to. They had activities and I saw residents out in the dining area enjoying trivia and bingo. It's an older building, and I think they've done their best to keep it up-to-date, but it could be improved a little bit. It was clean, no doubt about that, but it just seemed so worn out. It's not like it needs to be fancy, but sometimes it looked like it was just lacking in care and upkeep.

Brookdale Kettering had steps everywhere in the assisted living apartments, which was not going to work for somebody like my mother-in-law. They also had a little patio attached to the assisted living apartment that you had to go down the steps. It was an older facility and some of the steps were cracked and broken. It just didn't seem very updated to me and very safe. The staff I met seemed OK though.

The staff and the residents of Brookdale Kettering are all very friendly. Things ran very smoothly here. One of the things that sold me on this place is we get two meals a day and enough food to carry over for the third meal. We get to pick which meals and the menu is tremendous. Food tastes like home. It's got everything I need. I've got a washer and dryer in the hallway that's just almost across the aisle and I got free cable TV which brings in lots of stations right off the bat. Every room has a patio, too. We do chair exercise class, bingo, happy hour with music every Friday, bands, a pool table, and transportation to the doctor. I have not found anything I don't like. The facility is very adequate at all levels. There's a patio out back with a stage and you can order alcoholic drinks, beer, or wine. There's a coffee and pop machine and they have juices that are available all the time. You can just come down and get something to drink. I have gone through a menu meeting where if we have complaints, they work on it or if there's something that we would like added to the menu, they will try to incorporate that. Anything you ask for, they are very helpful. The maintenance guys came in and put together the lamps for me. One of the ladies helped me this morning with some paperwork I had to fill out.
