Brookdale Montclair Poulsbo

We toured Montclair. The rooms were probably a bit better. We like probably the rooms a bit better there. They didn't give us a menu of the activities they did, so we didn't know much about them. They gave us some information to take away, but they didn't go over it. They didn't show us their activity room. We passed by it. We ended up there because we went the wrong way in the elevator. They gave us lunch, which was nice. The lunch was fine. It was nice that they catered to us and gave us a private room. My dad thought the food was OK, he didn't think it was great, but he thought it was alright. The service was good. We didn't see any activities. The reason that we saw the activity room we passed by was because we got on the wrong floor. The staff who assisted us was fine. They showed us around. My dad at some point got tired of walking and so they went and got him a wheelchair. I like the rooms slightly better in Montclair, but I like the facilities slightly better in the other facility. They could improve their food. Also when they show people around, they need to introduce their activities and such because they didn't do that. That would be nice to know. Because when people are moving there, they'd like to know what they can do.

We found Brookdale Montclair for my mother. They're fantastic, everybody knows who she is, and she's well taken care of. It's four minutes from my house, and it's very convenient. She has no complaints, and she's happy. They have interesting things every day, but Mom doesn't participate.

Brookdale Montclair Poulsbo was an absolutely beautiful and wonderful facility. I enjoyed talking with the person who showed us around, and I talked to some of the residents. We were highly impressed. We saw several rooms of different sizes. I toured the common area, a work group area, arts and crafts, and the cafe. They had several floors. The staff was very knowledgeable and informative. You can order from a menu, you can have what is offered on their table, or you can order from your room. It's big and had a large age group and thus a different degree of activities or liveliness about it.

Brookdale Senior Living is reasonable and very close to our house. It’s a nice facility, and the staff was pleasant. The rooms and apartments are clean. My mom thinks the food is great. They play bridge and puzzles, they have exercise classes, and they go on tours.

I visited Brookdale Montclair. They seemed to be pretty good, and it seemed to be a very nice place. The rooms seemed decent. They had individual bathrooms in each room. Their price seemed to be fairly reasonable at $5,500 for the memory unit. Now, the thing of it was that you had to keep in mind that $5,500 could be more. If you had somebody that needed a lot more care, then the $5,500 would be higher, or if they needed a little bit less care, it might be a little bit lower. So, it kind of depended upon the person. There was a fee for staying at the place and the meals. Then, there was a separate fee that was calculated based on the person's need or help and assistance, which was added into that.

I saw Emeritus at Montclair. It had beautiful views and a lovely setting. The staff was very pleasant. I had a brief, but pleasant and very satisfactory visit. They had rooms from 1 star to 5 stars. I understood the food was very good. The residents there were involved in field trips like downtown shopping. A couple of groups were doing crafts, and another group was going outside on a little walk about. However, I thought they might want to upgrade their nursing staff to meet all the state requirements.

The staffs working at Emeritus at Montclair Park were just fine. I thought they were quite pleasant and delightful. The rooms were quite nice and upscale, but it was a little bit pricey for me. It is probably reasonable for some people, but it is more than I would care to spend. I am more of a homey type of person and found it to be a little too formal. I was invited to breakfast, but I had to back off. The dining room setup was fine and quite nice. But if I was going to live in a place like that, I want something a little homey. They were very pleasant to talk to and punctual, but it just seemed a bit much for me.
