Brookdale Foundation House

We founds things were slow coming after move in. Keys, name tags, work orders for maintenance, etc. The food is very good, and the staff are friendly and helpful but don't always know what one or another is doing. It has been a learning curve.

Review for Brookdale Foundation House

They have great staff. The food is average, but it's a great place. I would recommend them to others.

I like friendly staff because my mom literally talks to everyone....

My dad has indicated that they serve chicken too much. I scored the activities a five because they offer a ton of activities. I score my parents a 1 because they don't take advantage of all of the activities… Ha ha ha. It seems to be a good value compared to the other sites we looked at. I like friendly staff because my mom literally talks to everyone and they always stop and truly listen to what she has to say to them. And I am literally talking everyone from the facilities guy to the front counter person to a st…

We took a virtual tour of a cottage, which is approximately 1300 sf with a one car attached garage. —We found the cottage to be laid out nicely and pricing to be reasonable. —There’s no patio or way to back of cottage without going around buildings. —The front porch is reasonable for sitting outside. We really just panned the outdoor space; but we’re told there’s ample walking paths, as well as indoor walking in inclement weather.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My mother likes Brookdale Foundation House. She thinks the staff is very friendly. It seems to meet all her needs so far. She's not happy about having to move out of her home, but she'll get over that. Basically, everything's fine. She thinks the food could be better. My interaction with the staff has been good. It's a one-bedroom apartment, and it was upgraded before she moved in, so the stove, refrigerator, paint, and carpet were new. It's a very cute, open, airy, bright apartment. It&apo…
