Brookdale Farmers Branch

My mother moved into Brookdale Farmers Branch. I think they're very caring, and everyone there is really nice to her. It's fine, very good, they keep it clean, and the food is healthy. The food is good, they use a special diet for older people, it's calorie dense, low sodium, low sugar, and I think it's pretty healthy. It's an older facility, it's functional, nice, but not the newest place.

I visited Brookdale Farmers Branch. I liked the community and the food was good. The only difference between them and the place we chose was that the other one was considerably less expensive. The layout is shaped in a circle, with a courtyard in the middle. It's very nice, and they have a very attractive dining room. The rooms are a nice size. I like them and thought their price was pretty good. Their staff was very nice.

My friend has been at Brookdale Farmers Branch for about two weeks and he's doing extremely well. We're very impressed with the folks at Brookdale. They do a really good job at combining retirement with just a little bit of extra assisted living that some of the patients need. It's nice that they have a nurse on staff all day, and the nursing staff is very good. I haven't seen a weak element there. The housekeeping is outstanding and the management is incredibly good. The young ladies that run the front desk are very professional and they do a good job at greeting all the guests who come in. The have the reception set up so people don't just wander in and out of there without somebody knowing about it. We've been very pleased with the food service program. They help and support each other. They give you a lot of food options, and it's more like eating in a restaurant every day. The general manager is outstanding and one of the best I've seen in that field. One big advantage is they're a little bit smaller than some of the other places. It’s an older facility, but it’s been maintained well and the upkeep has been good. The rooms are a little bit smaller. My friend is in a studio and it could be a tad larger. They have church service, which is very nice, and most of my friend's socialization is at lunch and dinner. Compared to a lot of other places, it's reasonable for the quality of care.

I am a current resident of Brookdale Farmers Branch. I am not a senior but I am a stroke victim. I have been treated very well however I must commend the Executive Director Mr. Redmon for his compassion, kindness and care for and of everyone who lives here. He knows all our names and is very good to us. I recommend this place to everyone I know.

Brookdale Farmers Branch was wonderful. I liked everything about it. There were activities going on while I was there (like Bingo) and they had lots of amenities. They also had transportation to the grocery store and outings. The staff was wonderful. The room that I saw was a studio type, but it was quite large, bright, and airy. I loved it.

Brookdale was nice and had decent-sized rooms and a gym.

We chose Brookdale Farmers Branch (Formerly Emeritus at Farmers Branch) for my mother-in-law. It is in our neighorhood, and they are very friendly, very welcoming, and very professional. The rooms are sufficient for her needs. My husband ate there, and he said it was fine. They do Wii Fit, Wii Bowling, go out on day trips, and go to the Farmers Branch Senior Center and to local stores. They have interactive games like cards, Bridge, and Rummikub, so it's a very active place, plus they also have tournaments with their other Brookdale facilities. I just like the staff and convenience, so we could get to her quickly.

Emeritus at Farmers Branch was pretty nice, but it wasn't what we were looking for. It is a place that I would consider to put my mother if I needed to. The only thing I will be concerned about -- and they were concerned about it too -- was because all their residents speak English and my mother doesn't speak English, so they were worried about her feeling isolated because of the language barrier, but he was honest with me and told me all this. The place was really clean as far as I could see; it was a really nice place. The staff was really good, and I am happy with the way they treated our case; they gave us the time and explained to us all the things and help us to even get something that we didn't have at that moment. So they were really helpful, and we were really pleased with them.
