I was surprised the general appearance of Brookdale Latrobe was very good. Paul was the person who took us around. And he was very helpful with all kinds of information not only about Brookdale but about assisted living in general. He was very knowledgeable and we were very pleased with the information we got from them. The dining area looked nice. Every day they had a schedule of activities for the residents, and therapy as well. The unit that we saw was clean, the rooms looked nice, and it didn't smell or anything. The person who accommodated us was really wonderful. He called us a couple of times to check how we are doing and to follow up regarding my mom.

The rooms at Brookdale Latrobe were satisfactory. They were basic, but they fit the needs. The staff was very pleasant and seemed very attentive to the residents. They had the same kind of amenities that everyone else had. They had a lovely garden where residents could sit out and lots of activities going on. They were very watchful, and there was enough staff that patients will be safe.

We like Brookdale and its staff. Everybody has been very helpful. It feels more homey to us without the sterility of a hospital environment. We know all of the staff, and my in-laws have only been there for a few weeks. When you walk in the front door, you will feel a more homey atmosphere. I have been there when they are eating, and my in-laws like the food. They have a large menu where you can pick between four or five choices for every meal. What we like best is that they rate the choices based on health needs. Every 30 days, they evaluate the patients to see if their needs have changed. If they go down, the cost will drop. If they go up, the cost gets higher.

My mother-in-law is in Brookdale Latrobe. It is a very nice facility. There are two facilities in the area that fits the needs and this one seems to be better and have a higher level of staffing than the other facility that we look at. I have not eaten there, but I am there last Monday when they serve lunch and it smells pretty good. I think they have good food. The dining area is set-up pretty nice. They have lots of activities. I think it has the backing of a large company that has facilities all over the country. I will recommend them to others.

This place has gone from bad to worse since Brookdale took over. This facility was formerly called Emeritus. The food has declined and worst of all resident care has severely declined. The staff has gone from semi-friendly to not friendly at all. Maybe that's because they are short staffed? They are making cuts in every way possible at this place to save money and at the same time raising the rates. You pay a lot of money for poor care. You will be given a great sales pitch on your facility tour, but what you hear is not what you get. I regret placing my relative here, it's time to find another facility.

Emeritus was fine, and it’s a nice facility. The residents seemed very happy and fine. They were very up to date, and the whole setup was wonderful. Most of the staff did not speak with us. Somebody took us on the tour and answered our questions. We did speak to some of the residents.
They seemed to have a lot of activity going on with these clients or residents. The one group was doing crafts, and some of the men were playing cards or checkers. The dining room was beautiful, and the food was OK.

Emeritus at Latrobe did not meet the criteria of what we were looking for. It was very nice, but we do not want an assisted living facility. The dining area and everything else was beautiful, and if I was looking for that type of facility, I would not have problems going there. The facilities that they had were wonderful. The residents seemed OK. They all looked fine. Some were playing cards, and some were doing other activities. The rooms were nice, and the staff seemed friendly enough.

My sister is in Emeritus and it is a very nice place. The facilities are very clean and updated. The people working there are very friendly. We eat lunch there and the food is very good. My sister has been out on picnics. I know they have bingo. It just feels like home. I will recommend them to others.

I liked Emeritus at Latrobe because it was very clean. The people all seemed friendly. The rooms were bigger than I thought they would be and they really impressed me. It also surprised me because some of the ones that I looked at didn't even come close to Emeritus.

Emeritus is very well-kept. It's very pretty and I've only heard good things about the place. They treat the residents very well. The staff were extremely friendly. The first day I called over, they knew right away that my grandparents were new and they knew who they were. I was just amazed at that. My grandparents share a room. Everything in the room was new. A brand new bed, dressers, and nice big bathroom. It's very, very clean.
They are very protective as far as not letting my grandparents have any type of medicine. I know my grandparents don't like that very much, but they're not allowed to have an aspirin or anything in their drawers. They make sure that they don't get any other drugs than what they're supposed to have. They also let you come over and eat with them. It costs $5 a person and they'll even put you in a separate dining room that seats 10 people.

Memory Care Reviews for Brookdale Latrobe

My mother-in-law will be moving into Brookdale Latrobe. It's very clean, the staff was just tremendous, very helpful, and very kind, and her room would be very large. I was very impressed with the in-house physical therapy, the occupational therapy, and the activities. They have six-to-eight activities every day, which I thought was wonderful. The layout was very nice. It's all one level. There is a separate entrance for the memory care as opposed to the assisted living part, which I really like as well. We were very impressed with the facilities. They said that they would work with each person individually for their diet. They had told us that there was one lady there who likes peach cobbler, so they make peach cobbler just for her, and we were pretty happy with that.

Brookdale Latrobe was very nice. The staff was very welcoming. We saw people being cared for and out in the hallways, not just in the room. It was just a short visit, but the overall atmosphere was very inviting to my mom including the decorations and the music. It's got a very warm feeling and that really pleased her. They had a full activity calendar. We looked at the menu and they cook their food there and it's always fresh. The person that we worked with was very good in his presentation and not over pushing my mom even though he recommended sooner than later.
