Care Age of Brookfield

Karen

My dad was a former resident of Care Age of Brookfield. The people there were amazing. They were totally in tune with his needs and took it above and beyond. They wouldn't let him get away with anything. You got somebody who's 89 years old and he just doesn't want to move. They were good at what they did. They truly mastered getting him up and moving and transferring himself. We would set demands because we needed him at the other location for my mom, and it took an entire week before he learned how to transfer himself and get up and move. And for somebody who's aging and his injury, it was good.

The residents always look like they are having a great time. Very great rehab department that goes that extra mile to take care of their patients. Always something going on in activities from games, movies, bingo and weekly entertainment. I recommend the place.

Your loved one will wait and wait and wait to get help with anything! I saw 6 workers sitting at one desk, and 4 others arguing at another desk. My dad called 3 times for help to use the bathroom. I've been sitting here with him for an hour and 20 minutes. He is STILL waiting. I spoke with a resident who says she waits for hours until she just goes in her pants. He also couldn't get water to drink. Please watch out for your loved one if you even take them there.

Rehab not helpful for my Mom's broken ankle. My Mom was a difficult patient and the staff elected to avoid her.

Mom was initially admitted for rehab in May. Therapists worked with her gently appropriate to her capabilities. Kept us informed of her progress and offered suggestions. Unrelated to the facility her health declined and was then admitted into Hospice. During her entire stay all staff took excellent care of mom and were extremely caring to us the family. Answered all our questions and sought us out with updates when we came onto the floor. Food was good and she was able to get substitutes for things she did not like. Social Worker helped us navigate through the changes with mom and gave us recommendations of next steps. The facility itself is not new and shiny, could use some updating, but hallways were wide and place was kept clean. Her care received was given by wonderful staff not by brick and mortar. I can't say enough for the facility and staff.

I wanted to give a 3 1/2 star general rating, but it doesn't let you. If I could rate different departments then physical and occupational therapy would receive 5 stars. Most of the RNs and CNAs were very nice and caring. So I would rate them as 4 stars (as there were a couple who could have been more personable). But there were a couple who were 5+ stars. They were so busy some days - especially mornings and could have used extra people. I read the other reviews and some things were true, but not as bad as some that were written. As far as the cleaning went I just asked when I saw someone to vacuum or change my sheets and they did. I have to say the food was generally not good. They changed food companies after I was there a couple of weeks, and the new company was terrible. I was there almost 8 weeks so I had plenty of meals to sample. I think if you treat people with kindness that is what you get back. That was true for me both ways.
