There was nothing not to like at Brookdale First Colony. We would probably put my friend over there. The problem was that the room was on the small side. There was only a living room, a very small kitchen, and a small bedroom. The living room was nice, it had a nice view, and it was super clean. It was all redone inside and it was beautiful. But it was smaller. They said if I got my friend situated she would be able to get on a waiting list to get into a larger room later, but she would have had six people ahead of her, and so I didn't think that would work out too well. The staff member who toured us was first-rate. I like Brookdale First Colony very much. I didn't get a chance to have lunch there. However, I found out something about the eating arrangements there, they only guaranteed two meals a day. You have a meal card that you use, and you get a $300 credit and you have to use that. If you want to have a third meal, you have to submit that card, and then after you've used up the credits, then you would have to pay for any extra meal. I think that would be very confusing to my friend. She wouldn't want to use up the credit, so she might end up skipping a meal. I didn't eat the food and I never got to see what the portions were, but I didn't think that was a good deal. I did not like that at all. I did not think that the way they have the meal credit set up was a very good idea.

We went to look at Brookdale First Colony. The staff member escorted us around. She did a very thorough job of showing us the facility, explaining the costs, and explaining the different facilities, so I appreciate what she did. I would recommend her as a guide. The rooms were adequate in size. I looked at one-bedroom ones, and they were very well laid out. They were acceptable to me. They offer meals.

The reason why we liked Brookdale First Colony the best was I felt like it had more activities going on that my sister would be interested in. I liked the apartment sizes. I liked the fact that they completely redo every apartment before a new tenant lives in, like all new appliances and all new carpet. She wasn't having to move in to something that somebody else had just lived in. I liked the fact that they had security gates and a lot of dining options.

The most important thing about Brookdale First Colony was that the room we saw made me feel claustrophobic. I have a king-sized bed, and the room was small. The living room area was also small. It was like a hotel room. You had to transfer your cable, internet, and phone there. The staff who assisted us was still a neophyte out there and wasn't as knowledgeable. Everything looked good, but I think they were overpriced for what they offered. They had activities going on at the time we were there on a Friday afternoon. We saw a chapel and a movie theater. They had an outdoor heated pool. The facility was nice.

I toured Brookdale First Colony. The people that I met were really nice. The grounds are really nice. It seemed very secure and very safe. I liked it. The staff was very helpful. They had a little welcome sign waiting for me when I walked in, and a small gift. She knew that I liked golf, so she gave me some golf balls. She was just very informative and answered all my questions. They do have a beauty salon. They have health care people on staff. It's not assisted living, but there are people that are available if you need help. They have a nice pool. They have a putting green, a movie room, a couple of game rooms, and lots of activities. I just wish it was less expensive.

I'm very happy here at Brookdale First Colony. The staff members are very efficient and very polite. The landscaping is really pretty and they had just totally recarpeted and repainted my apartment when I moved in, so it's quite lovely. It's a pretty good size for a one-bedroom and there's a nice balcony. It's a good view because I'm on the second floor. If I was on the first floor, it would be the parking lot, but I'm on the second floor, so I can see trees. There are few food choices. I don't go to the dining room very often. I usually eat on my own, but it's just a regular dining area with circular tables that can seat about five or six people and there are small square tables that will seat like two. The grounds are very pretty. The landscaping is very nice. I haven't done a whole lot, but there are quite a few activities. There is a communion service on Friday in one of the rooms. There are all kinds of trips. You can go to ATV or Kroger, the zoo, and other fun trips. Value for money is not great, but just OK.
