My mother is in West Fork Village. It's clean and well kept. I have nothing bad to say about it. They don't have an RN. The services are based on the skill level of employees that they have. It is excellent. The food is not the best, but it's OK. They have activities, and I see the residents participate quite often. They have bingo, family socials, and church services. It's an older place, but they remodeled it.

My impression of Brookdale Irving/West Fork Village is good. That's where my dad is now. The rooms are kind of older and not that updated, but they're still nice and clean. They play bingo, cards, and my dad was honored on Veterans Day, which he enjoyed. They have church services on Sundays, and they also play games and stuff like that sometimes. The value is not the best, but they're not bad.

It was very clean, the staff was very friendly, and the lunch smelled really good. The dining area was clean and spacious, with lots of tables, and they did a really good job at cleaning up. The rooms were nice, not so spacious, but they were very clean and well-maintained. They had tables with cards, dominos, puzzles, and Bingo.

I visited and I saw that it's an old place. It is rundown by the appearance of it. The staff who accommodated me was very personal. She was also very informative to me.

It was my second choice, but the area it is in was a little sketchy for me. It was more of in a warehouse industrial district, and not in the best part of Irving. I liked the facility, but I didn't like the surroundings of it. The living quarters were very nice. My mother would have had a first floor apartment with a porch, which she would have been able to go outside, and a bathtub which would've been better for her. They had a very large dining room, and it was more of a buffet style. They had puzzle rooms, and a little store where you could buy things.

I have a place coming up and probably will be moving in next month. It looked like a very nice place. It has beautiful dining room and a beautiful building. The people are very courteous and helpful. I didn't really check their activities, but I know they have a beauty shop and an exercise room.

I have an aunt who lives here, and it is a very good and very nice place. The rooms are decent. She is in a two-bedroom apartment, and they have a really good-sized living room. It is very clean. They have activities and birthday parties. I think the food is very good, and the dining area is very nice.

We really liked this community; if we needed to be put in a place, that is where we would go. They allowed pets but not in the nursing home part. The rooms were good, it didn’t smell bad, and the staff was very friendly and answered all of our questions.

It was a little older, and it wasn't exactly where we wanted to be. It was out of our way for where we live. We checked on the rooms; they were nice. I found the staff to be exceptionally nice and professional. I had no problem with the people who were there. I believe that they handled things like bingo, card games, and things like that. It just had an odor about it, and it just wasn't as clean.

This facility is very beautiful and well-kept. The staff is very friendly and readily available to help with any of the residents needs or the visitors needs. The residents are not confined to stay in their rooms, they can walk around the facility and make friends with other residents. They are encouraged to engage in activities each day. They have several sitting areas where they can sit and converse with each other, watch T.V., play cards, etc. The landscaping outside of the facility is also beautiful, there are several places outside that the residents may sit with each other, or with their families and visit while their grandchildren play on the nearby playground.

I chose this facility because it's near my place and it would be convenient for me to visit dad. The staff treated us very well. They were welcoming and I am satisfied with all the information they gave me. The residents there looked okay. It seemed like a happy place there and it felt homey. My father's room is small but sufficient. He would be comfortable in it. The dining area is comfortable and clean. It's a clean facility overall. I think the place is conducive for retiring people and they would enjoy it there.

My friend is here, and my overall impression is good. The rooms are really nice, and the people are good and friendly. I met the residents, and they said they liked it there. I heard the food is good and has a lot of choices. They have a pool table, TV, and trips on occasion.

Overall, I'm pleased with this community. I like the nurse on staff. He's very caring and takes a very personal approach. My dad's efficiency room is very nice, comfortable, and has everything he needs. He seems content there. It's easy to get to, and the grounds are nice and well maintained. They tell me he's eating well, and eats 100% of all of his meals. We've had a little bit of confusion with the transportation but that's about it.

My aunt is here, and we save almost $2,000 a month compared to the one they are before. It is big thing, and we are getting everything exactly the same. When we moved her in, they are in the process of remodeling all the rooms, including her room, so she has a brand new room to start with. They have lot of card games, especially bingo, which is my aunt's favorite game. I will recommend it to others.

It was very clean. The lady who showed me around was very nice, she was lovely from beginning to end. The smallest room was 400 sq. ft. but it was big enough. It was set-up so that you could have everything you needed like the bed and couch, although the closet was not too large. We had lunch and I was surprised that the food was very good. The thing that bothered me was they only brought you food for 3 days a month, I guess you had to be in the assisted living area if you wanted more than that. My only problem was the long distance to walk from the room to the eating places.
