Brookdale Zanesville

I like Brookdale Zanesville. I think if I were to go with one at this moment, it would be them, but we're not quite ready. I thought it was nice. It was clean, and it smelled nice, too. The people looked happy. The staff who assisted me was very helpful. However, the facility could use some updating.

We went to Brookdale Zanesville. They were very nice, but I like the other place better. The rooms were smaller. A husband and wife would have two single rooms together, which would allow two baths. The staff members were very nice, too. The facility is very well kept, very clean, and very professional, maybe even too professional for everyday living people. You can come and go as you please. They have three meals a day that you could go to. However, it wasn't as laid-back as the other place.

The tour at Brookdale Zanesville was very good. They were very attentive to our needs and everything, but it was way out of our price range. The rooms were great, clean, and roomy. They had all the handicap accessories and showers and accommodations. The staff was wonderful. They're great people and answered all our questions. I observed the residents there eating, and some of their activities. The dining area was clean and spacious. They had places for physical exercise and all that kind of stuff. The staff was kind and accommodating to us. It was clean. The only thing was there was no one at the reception desk when we came in.

I toured Brookdale Zanesville. I liked that it's a smaller group, and they focused on their residents and didn't just leave them in the corner. I liked their dining area. It was very nice with the linen tablecloths and nice glasses. It was just a nice atmosphere. There was a beauty salon, and they had church services. I thought it was just a very cozy place.

My wife moved into Brookdale Zanesville. I like the people that work there, and I like the way they're taking care of her. She's beginning to be more cooperative and that helps a lot because she needs to be, in order to get all the help she can get. It is locked down and they have to let me in and let me out every day. They don't mind if I come any time and I go twice a day. It's fairly close to where I live, so it all works well. Her room is nice. We have our furniture in there. It's got a nice window and she's able to look outside. The bathroom is easily accessible. I like the room. They showed me another room with furniture in it and I liked the layout. Hers has a room for a couch, a couple of chairs, and a chest of drawers, and it's working out very well. They have three meals a day, and they can take her down with her walker and help her eat. Sometimes she doesn't eat, and sometimes she sleeps a lot, but she's getting better. She hasn't taken part in any of the things that they do and barely talks to anybody, but I think that's getting better. They take her out for a walk and she says hi to people and some of them know her name now. The attendants do a very good job.

My mother is in Brookdale Zanesville, and it's working out real well. I chose the place because it was clean. The person that runs the facility was on top of it, very professional, and answered all the questions that I had. I had a good experience. My mom has a little dog and it provided an area where she could walk around the facility on a paved walking path with some woods and some grass area that she was comfortable with. They spent quite a bit of time getting the room. They put new carpet, painted the walls, and put new appliances. It was very welcoming. Anything that we asked for, any questions that we had, they could certainly take care of it. It was also four minutes away from where I live. The staff is very welcoming, very accommodating, and very polite. My mom has absolutely no complaints about the food. It's very comfortable and very clean. Everything's in its place. I'm very impressed with that. They've got big open hallways. It seems like they're doing something this afternoon, which is something my mom needed. She needed socialization. I know it's helping her quite a bit to be able to do the things that she hasn't done in a while. Value for money is very good. I'm very happy with the price. I was extremely impressed with the person that runs the facility, but a big factor was my mom's dog. They just provided better privacy and comfortableness and a walking path, and she's not near traffic. It was very private. The outside was more of an open space environment.
