Brookdale Alexandria

Clare Bridge Memory Care Review

We reviewed seven facilities before selecting Brookdale for my wife of 50+ years that has frontal lobe dementia. After two tours and interviews with multiple staff members, from leadership to the folks in the "trenches," we were thoroughly impressed with the whole operation. The words I find best to describe are friendly, attentive, responsive, and most of all they truly care about every resident in both the regular assisted living unit and very much more so for the Clare Bridge memory care unit. I can say in my vi…

We liked it so much we have contracted to place my wife of 50 years into their "memory care" facility. Although it's a bit "pricey" it was far superior to the other five facilities we evaluated.

The memory unit reminded me of a mental institution I used to work at. In that unit, I only saw one staff passing out snacks but only one person was getting any. The two units they showed me had holes in the wall. The front part was nice staff was nice but carpet on the floor with my moms Parkinson’s would be a trip hazard.

Compassionate Help in Hard Moments

They are a people oriented business. They work to make their residents feel they are important. I would certainly recommend Brookdale Alexandria to anyone who are dealing with a memory patient.

Brookdale Alexandria experience

They are short staffed so it's a waiting game sometimes for my loved one and I am unsure about the value for cost. My loved one likes her living space, patio and staff. They could improve on food, for instance they only serve white bread. Also, they need to hire more staff.

Overall satisfied

Aftercare billing was not discussed. Nice spacious rooms and dining facility.
