Brookdale Zanesville was very nice. Hospitality was very good. The staff was very knowledgeable. The place was very well-kept. They gave a whole calendar of what their activities were. They take weekly trips to restaurants, have other trips like shopping, have music performers come in, have chair exercise classes, and they have a beauty salon. One of the residents allowed us to see her room, and how she had it set up, and everything was great.

I would recommend Brookdale Zanesville to anybody. It has an awful lot of things to offer. It's a good facility. The people who work there seem to be fine and are very knowledgeable. They do well with what they do. Their pricing is one of the better ones. Everything seems to be just fine down to the meals. The chef even came out to talk to me. It's really a good facility, from the way they prepare their meals, serve their meals, their activities for the elderly, the way they come in and work with them to help their minds, to how they exercise with them. They have entertainment come in from time to time. Everything's in its proper place, including the cleanliness.

Brookdale Zanesville was a little bit more private than the other places I had seen. It was very nice there. The people were very polite and very friendly in general. The staff was very nice and very friendly. They answered all of my questions. The rooms were okay and very clean. They all seemed to be what I was expecting. I liked that they had a little bit more space.

Emeritus at North Hills was very nice. The lady who showed us the place and told us everything about it was very pleasant. She seemed very nice and very informative, and I couldn't find any fault in their actions at all. I liked their nice, big, roomy central where you could sit and read or talk and play games although I thought some of the rooms were rather small. It was very nice, very clean, and very neat.

I've talked to the people at Emeritus at North Hills. The facility was nice, but the other facility was much better. The staff was nice and accommodating. The rooms reminded me of a hotel room. They were OK. At Emeritus, they seemed to schedule different activities on the same scale as the other facility. What they could improve on is working a little more on the friendliness of the staff and the accommodations. Nevertheless, I wouldn't be afraid to have somebody there.

We visited Emeritus at North Hills with my parents. We saw a variety of rooms there. The rooms were nice. We had a meal, and my parents enjoyed that. The staff was very friendly. However, when we were there, there didn't seem to be much going on. Compared to some of the other places we saw, we sort of noticed that the people there didn't seem to be happy.

Emeritus would have been my second choice. The facilities are excellent. The way that they handle the dementia patients during day time and the way they supervise them is just excellent. They're quite good at it. They have the facilities which were specifically planned for that. Personally, I did not think that the food was quite as strong as it was with other facility. And sometimes the food is important with people with dementia.

The staff there is very nice and try very hard but they are very understaffed. I was very disappointed with this facility and would not recommend the Alzheimers unit for a late stage alzheimers patient.

The atmosphere of the facility was wonderful. Everyone seemed very friendly and nice. Some day, I would want to live in a place like this. The nurses all had good attitudes toward their work and really cared about the folks in the home. I really have nothing negative to say about the home. It was also located in a convenient place, which allows for easy access from other areas. I have visited several homes in the area as part of the service organization and this one was by fay my favorite to visit. The people are great and I enjoyed the time I spent there. I cannot wait to return and spend some more time with the great folks of Emeritus. I will try to arrange the service organization in such a way that we spend more time at this facility since everyone enjoyed themselves so much.

My mother has Alzheimer's and dementia and we found Emeritus as a good facility for Alzheimer's patients. It is a beautiful place at a good location, close enough to where my sister could visit often. My mom has been there for a few months and really likes it there.
There is an issue we are faced with where my mother is frequently visited by a friend who takes advantage of her financially. We spoke with Emeritus about this, but they said they couldn't do much about it.

Thank you for taking the time to review our community. We are glad to hear that your mother is happy at our community "“ she is a beloved friend to so many in the community. We are very sorry to hear that the issue you mentioned still seems unresolved.
I have spoken with the community and so far, to address this situation, they have contacted the ombudsman, Adult Protective Services, the resident's physician, and the authorities. We can understand your frustration; however, they have truly followed every protocol in their power to protect your mother.
They have recommended you take some legal action on your part to protect your mother since they have no authority to remove a visitor who is following visiting policies and not being disruptive to operations or upsetting to the residents.
That said, your feedback is always welcome. You are always welcome to contact leadership at the community or if you are more comfortable, please call our Ethics First Department and we will do everything we can to help you (800) 429-4828.
