Brookdale Oak Hollow

Brookdale was for someone more incapacitated than my mother at that time or someone that suffered more dementia than my mother. I was pretty sure that they had daily exercises, but I could not recall on the field trips. I believed they had three meals and they had to pay extra for snacks. I saw a couple of rooms there, the ones that I would be choosing for my mother. The place was clean.

The apartments at Brookdale Oak Hollow were nice. The facility was very clean and didn’t smell. All the residents looked nice, and they were all well-kept. The dining room was set up also very nicely. All I can remember with their activities is that they take the residents out on trips.

Brookdale Oak Hollow is where my dad, and we chose it as it is closer to home. We also had a couple of friends and family members there. We have no complaints.

I visited Oak Hollow. They were very, very nice. More than that, they made my mom feel very comfortable. The staff was extremely friendly. They were very knowledgeable. They had activity center and a garden, which I think my mom is going to like. What stood out to me about this place was their friendliness and that the facility isn't so big that you feel like they are going to get to know the people pretty well because they aren't quite so big.

We do not have a problem with Brookdale Oak Hollow. It is a clean facility, and it does not have a smell. The staff is very friendly, and they seem to be very willing to help you. I can call them at any time I want to and check on my mother. Also, if they have a question about anything, or if they need to change anything, they will call me or my brother. We are kept informed, and they also include the families in parties during the holidays.

Brookdale Oak Hollow was awesome and great. We had experiences with Brookdale in the past, and they were OK, but they are adapting Emeritus standards for memory care and their staffing is extraordinary. I had no idea where they found them but I had experience with six facilities in my last seven years, and Emeritus is absolutely the organization in the particular memory care has the best staff and really high caliber people. The sanitation and the appearance were perfect. You are going to get 5 stars all the way around, if you ask me. The activities that they have is they take them on an outing once a week, constantly playing games, word games, card games, or bingo, they do play movies in the afternoon because most people sleep in the afternoon so they do have movies on, the rest of the time it's very hands-on. They have eight to six activities directors.

My mother in law had to be placed in an Alzheimer's care facility after two falls resulting in a back injury and surgery for broken hip and worsening Alzheimer's made it impossbile for her to remain in her home. She has been in Oak Hollow for several months and we have been very pleased with her care. The facility is very clean and well kept up and the people that work there are really good with her and she likes all her caretakers. They have a doctor that comes to the facility and we are using that doctor since that means the doctor will see her regularly and can change her medications as needed. They have a nice dining room and the meals are usually pretty good. My mother in law likes milk and I have noticed that they always bring her milk instead of ice tea or what ever other beverage is being served with the meal and we appreciate thier noticing her preference for milk and making sure she gets it. They also have a small salon room and one or two days a week they have a hairdresser that comes in to do hair cuts and styles.. that may not seem like a big deal, but for an Alzheimer's patient, it is a small luxury that she truly enjoys and being able to have it done there at the facility is very nice. All in all they have taken very good care of her and we are able to visit her every day for at least a few minutes and bring her to our house on weekends, so we have been very pleased with the facility.

I toured this facility and was pretty impressed. This was the third place I toured and it impressed me the most. The staff was very friendly and I felt they were really concerned about not only my mother in law, but the stress of taking care of her has put on me and the rest of the family. Not only did they question her needs, they questioned her life. What she likes to do, hobbies, careers. If there are any dietary needs, treats she likes special. The staff was very knowledgable about all my questions. They made me feel like I was doing the right thing instead of that I was just trying to dump my mother in law off. At the end of the tour, my mother in law was even more agreeable to moving into such a facility. The courtyard was beautifully kept. The variety of activities they have are amazing. My mother in law has memory issues and with that, the therapy they had was more in line how I want this lady treated. Our tour guide was gracious and very in tune to the emotions we were going through just to make the tour, let alone making this hard and difficult decision.
