I was at Brookdale Medi Park West for about an hour. It was very informative. The lady who greeted me was very cordial and gave me a very good tour of the whole place. She also gave me the pricing and all the brochures that we needed so that we can make a conscious decision for the family. They have studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms. The rooms were very nice. I saw a library and a hobby room. There were people in the hallways, in the classroom, and in groups. I inquired about the religious services, and they told me that the Catholic church meets on Friday afternoon.

We toured Brookdale, they were in the process of remodeling totally, and we saw part of what they've worked on. The staff answered all our questions and followed up with us later. We saw a 2-bedroom, and a 1-bedroom, and it looked like a good fit. The dining area looked very nice, like being at home. They have a dining room available for the family to come in and have a meal with the residents.

We absolutely loved Brookdale Medi Park West. It was awesome. We were treated so well. In fact, I toured it myself, then my brother and I toured, then again with my mother. So, we toured it three times to really thoroughly see what was going on. We were given tons of information and helped on how we could get aid or assistance and all kinds of stuff that would be helpful to us. The lady was more than helpful, and she said, “Hey, if there’s anything, let me know. I will do my best to have an apartment for you." However, at this point, we did not have the funds. All three times we went there, she took us into apartments that were all spectacular, wonderful, and cute. My mother wanted to stay. It was amazing. They had activities like card games, pool, sewing, and bingo. Every morning, they had donuts and coffee. In the afternoon, they had popcorn. Also, what impressed me was that every floor had its own ambassador who made sure that when somebody moved in that they felt welcome, showed them around, and made sure they had a friend. That was really impressive to me. They took them out to Walmart and out to eat.

Brookdale had very nice apartments and a lot of amenities, but we don't want an apartment at this point in our lives. They had larger apartments and better arranged rooms. They also had an exercise room.

Brookdale Medi Park West was very expensive, but they were very nice to my loved one. The caregivers were good to her and did all they could do for her. The community was very nice. Had she been in better health, I think she would have possibly even enjoyed it because they had activities, but her health really went downhill. She wasn’t able to take advantage of the things they offered. They had movie nights and an area outside where they did different things and played games. They had meals in the dining room that were really nice. There were lots of things if your health would allow. If they were in good health, I would recommend this place.

We visited Brookdale, but my aunt could not afford it. The lady that assisted us was very informative and showed us everything. She told us about the cost and was just very helpful. We loved the apartment that my aunt was interested in, but she could not afford it. They did not have to improve anything as I did not see anything wrong with the place. It was wonderful. The staff was very friendly. They had some activities, three meals a day, and snacks.

Brookdale Medi Park West is very friendly, very clean, and close to the house. It’s a very nice facility. The room that my father-in-law is in is roomy with everything down on his level. He can just roll his wheelchair into the shower or use a bath chair if he needs to. It is really nice for handicapped people. The food is excellent, too.

Brookdale was great, and it was a good experience. I really like that one. I like the way the apartments are like that. During our visit, they were having a birthday party for someone, and they have this 15 diner like room. They have the old Coca-Cola machine. The staff was very nice, they showed us around, they introduced us to some of the clients, and it was very pleasant.

Everybody was very happy at Brookdale. It was a very clean and pleasant place to be. The staff was awesome. She was wonderful, she showed us the whole property, and she showed us rooms and the entire thing. The rooms were nice and clean, but would be too confining for my parents. They have a game room where they can play cards and dominoes, and they have an exercise room. The cafeteria where they had the meals is beautiful and is set up very nicely. It was very impressive. It was very convenient to the hospital, and they can take them to doctor’s appointments if needed.

Emeritus at Canyonview Estates was the nicest place I've seen, and I would consider living in that facility myself. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. I saw their rooms, and they were very nice and spacious. The dining area was really set up where you have assigned sitting, and that was really nice. They also have what they call a Coca-Cola room where they can come there all day long and get snacks. They also have some games in there, and I was able to watch them. I was impressed with the facility.

There was no security at Emeritus. People could come in the back door and I didn't like that. The activities were fine as far as I was concerned.

Emeritus at Canyonview Estates has the best amenities for what my mother needed. She's in a one bedroom that has a kitchen. It's very clean and it's great for her. The staff have been really friendly. She did not like it at the beginning, but she likes it now. It's just the cost is a little high. Right now, you can sign a year contract or a 5-year contract and your rent would not go up during that time. They could maybe offer longer contracts in leasing their facilities.

When they are trying to get you to live there they are very compassionate and understanding about dementia. However, they over re-act to the resident getting lost inside the facility. They required us to have 24 hour care inside the apartment thus relieving them of all duties. That of course still came with the $7k per month price tag plus what we had to pay a caregiver. While they have lots of activities, the actual care that we received was below standards.

We were referred to the Canyonview Estates assisted living facility while in Amarillo visiting friends. We're looking for a place for our uncle to live in the area. He has a lot of friends and family there, so would like to remain in the region.
The staff seemed very caring and interacted well with the residents, all of whom seemed to really be enjoying themselves. There are a lot of activities which was plain to be seen, from dancing, to ice cream socials, barbeques, to many outings. The list was most impressive. They often go on scenic country drives, out for lunch and just about anything else you could ever want to do.Our uncle loves art, so we were thrilled to find out that he could take art lessons if he wished.
The atmosphere of the facility seemed to be joyous; everyone there was just glad to be there and having a great time. The staff also seemed to really encourage participation of everyone there.
The communal areas were spacious, well-designed and filled with nice furnishings that were comfortable and homey. The eating areas included casual and formal dining and private dining, too.
It's a great location -- so close to everything that Amarillo has to offer, from the Westgate Mall, to Cadillac Ranch and beautiful Lake Meredith, where residents regularly visit. The nearby museums and other attractions are also very stimulating.
It was clear to us that the lifestyle here really meets the needs of its residents and that our uncle could be very happy here.

My mom has been living at Brookdale Medi Park West for four years. Its been really good and she's had good experience there. The staff is very caring. There have been turnovers but overall, my mom is pleased with the aides who come and help her. The atmosphere is good, and they do a lot if activities with them, like bingo, cards, dominoes, and excursions. My mom has an excellent two-bedroom with a full kitchen which is very unusual for assisted living, so there's lots of room. The place is very clean and whenever there's a problem, they take care of it. Sometimes the food has issues. My mom feels that it's not been up to par as much as she would like it to be and that would be the main criticism.

There wasn't anything I didn't like about Brookdale Medi Park West. The staff was extremely friendly. The atmosphere itself was inviting the minute you walk in the door. The gal there couldn't have been friendlier and more helpful. She was exceptionally personable. They were very receptive and going above and beyond trying to help you understand and make decisions for your benefit. It was impressive. The people were congenial, made you feel at home immediately and cared about your well-being. I wasn't disappointed at all. I think it would be a pleasant place to live in your later years. It's a nice and pretty place.

My parents are in Brookdale. I like it and it's very nice. The staff is very friendly, and the accommodations are nice. They're in the independent living side. They provide meals for the residents, they change sheets, and clean their apartment once a week.
