My mom loves Brookdale Grand Prairie. She loves the food as they have several options for each meal. There's activities, a library, a community room, and several different seating areas. The age of the place just shows a little bit, but they're pretty well updated, and I like that it's all on one level. It's really nice.

I went to Brookdale Grand Prairie in person, and they are some of the nicest people I've ever known. They're sweet, very kind, respectful, and helpful. The food is delicious. The facility is wonderful. It's very, very nice, well kept, and very cordial. They have braces on the wall that you can hang on to when you walk if you need. It's just very thoughtfully laid out.

My sister's and I have been touring facilities for our mother in the Albany area. We stopped in at Brookdale Grand Prairie a couple of weeks ago, without an appointment and were helped by a friendly, smiling staff. The tour of the facility was wonderful, we even talked to a couple of seniors walking in the hall. They said they were happy there. We noticed that the facility didn't match the pictures on the web page, so they must be doing some updates. We loved the changes! The rooms we saw were very spacious and had full kitchens. My sister loved the little patios! I noticed how clean and fresh the facility smelled, compared to others we have toured. They sent us out the door with a box of warm muffins and an invitation to bring bring our mother back for lunch. When it's to time we will definitely come back!

My mom was a resident of Brookdale Grand Prairie. They served her meals and the staff was supposed to clean her room. I would not recommend this place to anybody, they didn't keep her room clean and we just had a lot of problems. Most of the staff members were good, a lot of them were not but that's just the way it is. There are better ones around. My mom and her husband had been living there for several years, and I went over and did the things they wouldn't do. They had activities like cards, music, play games and that type of stuff. The cleanliness was not good. They only gave the girls 15 minutes to clean mom's room and she had a big apartment. The girls were nice but they didn't have enough time to clean. They would only have enough time to change her bed, vacuumed the middle of the apartment and clean the bathroom, that's all they've done but it wasn't their fault. They could improve by hiring help that would give time to do their job. And every time I tell them that something's wrong with mom's apartment they would say that it's on the computer but never got taken care of. There was a bush that grew on mom's window, and they never trimmed it, the toilets kept running over. When my mother's husband moved in they didn't put in new carpeting and it was dirty and they could never get it clean but would never replace it. It's an old community, I don't know what they'll do. Now they're replacing everything in mom's room.

The people at Brookdale are pretty friendly, and the meals seemed to be pretty decent. I have a 1-bedroom, 1- bath. They cleaned the rooms, they do all the meals, they change the sheets, and they have games like bean bag baseball, Bingo, and Scrabble.

Brookdale Grand Prairie is a beautiful location, but it was not what we were looking for. We talked to one of the staff members, and she was very pleasant. It has a beautiful setting with lots of trees.
