Brookdale Mt. Lebanon was beautiful, and the people were nice. I saw a room in the independent living that was fully furnished. They gave me all the details and showed me different rooms in assisted living and what they offer in the dining area. The staff I met was very nice; one lady spent almost the whole time with me, and another girl was excellent, gave me all the details, and got back to me. They couldn't have been nicer.

My parents-in-law moved into Brookdale Mt. Lebanon. It's very clean and welcoming. We have had a good experience with all of the staff members. The food is definitely above average and my parents have been satisfied. They have a large lobby and the people socialize there. My husband's mom plays the piano, so especially during Christmastime, the people really enjoys hearing her play Christmas carols. There's a swimming pool and a very small fitness center.

Our tour at Brookdale Mt. Lebanon was wonderful and very complete. It's a wonderful place to be if you can afford it. They have lots to do and they seem to take care of their people well. Everybody seems to be entertained and the food situation is wonderful. The people we've dealt with were wonderful. It's a lot larger than most facilities and the apartments are larger.

The rooms at Brookdale Mt. Lebanon are very nice, good-sized rooms. There is enough room for the residents to have a separate area for sleeping or to sit and watch television. There is a kitchen area, and the entire facility is very clean. There seems to be a decent amount of staff walking around. I noticed the chapel and the community room, and they both seemed to be very nice.

My wife moved to Brookdale. It's semi-private, up on a hill and set back from any residential area. For the most part, they are very good. The food is excellent, and they have two dining areas. It's nice, clean, and very professional.

Brookdale Mt. Lebanon was very nice. It reminds you of a college campus. It is a red brick building. It's about 15 to 20 years old. It is high rise mainly, and it has about 150 residents, so it is a bigger facility. The staff was very nice. She's very good. The woman that took us was very knowledgeable and knew more stuff. Their accommodations were excellent. There were a lot of activities. They were watching a movie one time when we were there, and another time somebody was doing a presentation type of thing. They were talking about old movies, which is a good memory type game for the residents. The food was very good. It was excellent. The dining area was very pretty, very elegant, and very nice. Brookdale Mt. Lebanon was the one that we choose. It was very good. It met all of the needs that we were looking for.

Brookdale Mt. Lebanon was a lovely place, but they only serve two meals a day and clean every other week.

I have been to Brookdale for my cousin. It was probably the most beautiful out of all the places I visited. The staff and the people that I spoke with were wonderful. We almost got my cousin in there. It was beautiful, but the cost was the big factor. It was a very nice place, and it had everything anybody would want. They were playing bingo when we were there. They have outings and entertainment on certain days, a beautiful library, a beatiful indoor swimming pool, physical rehab, and a restaurant for the people there, plus a cafeteria where you can have sandwiches for yourself if you don’t want to eat in the dining room. We saw several rooms, and they seemed very nice and a little bit larger than what my cousin has now. It had a very nice little kitchen area and nice bathroom. It was beautiful.

There was nothing we didn’t like about Brookdale. We looked at two different apartment-type rooms that had separate living quarters, bedroom, full kitchen, and nice baths. The rooms were set up a little bit different from each other because we were looking for both of my parents. They were gorgeous, clean, and accommodating. We were OK with the pricing, the room sizes, and closet space. Everything was very nice. The staff was very friendly, very accommodating, and did not pressure us. They hold different events throughout the day and have exercise, so everybody is engaged. They have movie nights, parties, and barbecues, too.

My mother is currently in this Brookdale community. We like it because some of the people there are a little more active. There are more men there, and as a result, it is a more natural environment. It is also close to our family home, so she knows other people there already.

Everything was good. The staff was very nice, very helpful, and informative. They were very professional. We would consider that if it happened that they didn't have any room at the other place we looked at, we would be confident if they were there that they would have good care. There was an area where they could sit outside. What I didn't like about it was that it was a high rise, and the location was a little bad for us.

What I like best with this community is the atmosphere. The whole place looks pretty cheery. It seems to fit all of my mom's needs. It doesn't feel like an institution. They help her with her medications and make sure that she takes her medicines in the morning and in the evening. She seems happy and she's always clean. The dining room seems nice. They have group activities and she likes the afternoon activities. They have a van that takes them to doctor's appointment. They are not strict with visiting hours and they can accommodate us anytime. If she has a problem, we can always go up and they will come out. I really like it.

I went here and it was lovely. The gentleman that took us around was very nice. I really think it was a great place. The only reason I'm hesitating is because it's a little far from where I live now. I'm very active in my church and different organizations, and it means I would be away from it. The rooms were lovely and they have a lot of activities. The whole setup is very nice. They have a swimming pool and a gym. They take you to church on Sunday. I have nothing negative to say about it. If I were ready to go right now, I wouldn't hesitate to go there.

It was close to where my parents live. Everything about the facility seems very nice. My father is happy that he moved in there.

I was very impressed with this facility. It almost seemed more like a nice upscale hotel than an assisted living facility. The building and the surrounding grounds are beautiful, and there is a nice view of the city. I was impressed with the amount of privacy the residents have. There are many attentive staff members, but they are quiet and discreet, and let the residents do their own thing. There are emergency call buttons in each of the apartments for residents if they need it. Besides regular table side dining, they also offer a private dining room for when friends and family are visiting residents. Also provided are annemities like billiards, a pool and whirlpool, game room, arts and crafts room, exercise room, library, etc. I would be very happy myself to choose a facility like this when I need one.

I thought that the facilities were very comparable to a persons needs when they could not care for themselves like they used to. They were clean and the staff was attentive and caring. The other residents were friendly yet somewhat standoffish and I'm sure that after time they would all get to know each other. The apartments were clean and with emergency call buttons though out. I appreciated the attention to detail provided by the builders to the specific needs of the elderly residents and the care they deserve.Most important to me was the well being of my grandmother and these people provided. They made sure that she was comfortable and well taken care of without being too intrusive. I didn't want her to feel like she had been institutionalized and I am sure she didn't. They were ever-present but in the background and unseen. The staff here does a great job of not interfering with the residents lives but helping when they need it.
Independent Living Reviews for Brookdale Mt. Lebanon

If your loved one is truly independent, this can be a good place to look at. Four out of the five floors are for independent living so if you're looking for a place that your loved one can stay at should independence weaken, you're taking a chance. The sales person was very good. The supplemental support care that our loved one needed in independent living was inconsistent and discussing care issues with the manager was challenging. The food was very good though the dining room got backed up quite a bit at particular times. My advice is to pay attention to the bathroom set up. Most apartments have tubs and it can increasingly can become a challenge for seniors. If you have the $ and your loved one can mainly be on their own, Brookdale is worth a look.

I liked Brookdale Mt. Lebanon the best. It had a pool, and they play cards, which I love. It had everything. It was a self-contained community. I would never have to go outdoors, although the outdoor setting was very nice. I liked it. The staff members I encountered were terrific. Everybody was very pleasant and did their jobs. The grounds were gorgeous. I liked the facility location because I grew up very near there, so I was very familiar with the area. I liked the fact that it was not far from the city. The rooms were nice. They had physical therapy, a card room, a swimming pool, and a little deli area for lunch where people were wandering in and out. I would recommend it. I only had a sandwich at lunch. It was spotless. If I wanted to go downtown, that was easy to do.

We were given a tour of Brookdale, Mt. Lebanon and then enjoyed lunch at the Cafe. My husband and I were treated like family from the time we entered the building until we left. We met many pleasant staff members as well as residents and they were all very friendly. The facility is beautiful and has many of the amenities that we have been looking for. We each have several "must haves" in order to move from our home of 40+ years. First and most important is that KoKo our little Shih Tzu can also live with us at Brookdale. Second on my list is a swimming pool along with a Fitness Center and my husband likes to play cards and would also benefit from the hot tub and Fitness Center. The decision to move to an independent living facility is not an easy one but we feel confident that the staff at Brookdale will be right beside us and help us to transition from our home to their home when the timing is right for all concerned.

My mother was living at The Devonshire of Mt.Lebanon. This is a top-notch facility, modern, and tastefully decorated. It offers a lot of amenities, the apartments are nice-sized apartments and studios, and it is clean. The management is good, and the maintenance folks respond to work orders pretty good. The restaurant is fantastic, and they offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner, I believe. I have eaten there and the food is good. The staff is very friendly and responsive. If I had to live anywhere, I would probably live in the Devonshire for independent living. They also have assisted living, but we couldn't afford to get my mother into their assisted living because it was a little higher than what she can afford. I would recommend Devonshire based on my contact and experiences with the staff. They were very easy to talk to, easy to work with, and really friendly.

The Devonshire has a very nice and cozy hotel lobby feel. The staff seemed very friendly and had relationships with the people who lived there. They have a lot of choices for the apartments. My mother-in-law takes part in church services and rosary. They have a swimming pool; they have movies every night; they have guest speakers who come in; and they have trips to see shows downtown or whatever. The food is really good and nicely presented. You eat in the dining room and that is kind of a restaurant experience. On holidays you can invite your family and they do a really nice buffet. It's a nice place for my mother-in-law to invite family for Mother's Day or whatever.

THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FACILITY I HAVE SEEN IN THE SOUTH HILLS. IT IS PRIMARILY INDEPENDENT LIVING, YET OFFERS A FINE DINING RESTAURANT, CAFE, INDOOR HEATED POOL AND SO MANY AMENITIES...STILL WITH CONCIERGE HELP, SUCH AS CARRYING PACKAGES, WALKING YOUR SMALL DOG, TRANSPORTATION TO DOCTORS, ETC. DID NOT SEE THE PERSONAL CARE AREA, WHICH IS ASSISTED LIVING, BUT CAN ONLY IMAGINE EVERY CARE IS GIVEN THERE. THIS IS PERFECT FOR RETIREMENT COMMUNITY INDIVIDUALS WHO CAN TRANSITION INTO MEDICAL HELP AS THEY AGE. NONE OF THESE FACILITIES ARE INEXPENSIVE, HOWEVER, THE DEVONSHIRE AND WHAT THEY OFFER ARE STILL THE BEST CHOICE COMPARED TO THE PARAMOUNT, ATRIAS AND OTHERS IN THE SOUTH HILLS AREA. THE DEVONSHIRE IS CLASS....OFFERING SOCIAL ROOM WITH BILLIARDS, BACKGAMMON, CHESS AND THESE TYPES OF PASSTIMES AS WELL AS DOCTORS ON STAFF TO DO CHECK-UPS, MONITOR BLOOD PRESSURE, ETC....LIKE HAVING YOUR OWN PCP IN-HOUSE. CANNOT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THE APARTMENTS....VERY NICE SIZED WITH WALK-IN CLOSETS! A 1 BEDROOM IS $2600 AND OTHER PLACES I HAVE SEEN START AT $3000 AND ARE VERY INSTITUTIONAL AND HAVE "NURSING HOME" ATMOSPHERE. CANNOT BEAT THE DEVONSHIRE!!!!

I thought The Devonshire of Mount Lebanon was out of our price range, but I wanted to see it because I'd actually been there before and I liked the look of it. They were so great about offering solutions for not only our budget, but really listening to what my mother-in-law's needs were and how it might fit with the services that they offer, so we actually placed her in their independent living with some services provided by the facility, so that would keep her out of the personal care part, which is more expensive right now until we actually really, really need that. The fact that she can move directly from independent to assisted living without a lot of disruption to the social environment that she will have gotten used to by that time is really great. We really like that she has a little efficiency apartment. It's smaller than what she's been in while living independently, but it gives her the ability to feel like she's still pretty independent. Also, her Medicare covered nurse, physical therapist, and shower nursing staff can come into the facility and still visit her under her Medicare plan as if she were living in an independent apartment outside the facility. So, that was really great too. For the whole package of trying to keep her in one facility for as long as possible, I thought that they offered a good deal as far as the price. It's not cheap by any means, but comfortable and nice, and you get a home-like feeling without it being too busy.

The Devonshire is located in Mt. Lebanon, Pittsburgh, PA. It offers a pleasant environment that makes you feel right at home. There are a lot of different types of people living here as there are a wide variety of services available. I was looking for a place that my parents would be able to use both now and as they age even more. While they don't need any help right now it's nice to know that they wouldn't have to move if and when they do eventually need some help with daily living. It's nice to know that the staff really cares and that the people who live there are friendly. This is a place where I myself wouldn't mind living and it's nice to know that it's safe and in a safe neighborhood too. It's high on my list of options for my parents as I really am not able to find any drawbacks to this place.
