I enjoyed my tour and found it very informative. The facility was clean, cheery and the residents were engaged with the activities. The sales rep explained to us, my husband and I, what the staff does and what activities are like as well as the menu. We talked about health issues and how they work medication as well as any health appointments. Any of the residents we met were happy and busy with socializing or outside enjoying the day, since it was a warm day. It is certainly on our list to visit with our dad to ge…

I visited this facility

I went to see Brookdale Lakewood's assisted living community. It was lovely, and the woman who helped me was very good. I thought it was very nicely put together. The suites looked very spacious and comfortable. The facility was clean and cheerful. People looked quite happy, and I thought there was a lot for them to do. The only thing that I would think would be better is if there were advanced levels of care as someone needed it, but maybe that's not reasonable.

Looking for a place for my sister is probably one of the toughest things I've done. Brookdale made it an easier process than I expected. We were immediately greeted warmly. The tour was very informative and time was taken to answer questions. The place was clean, the staff friendly, and residents we chatted with expressed how much they liked living there. She was excited about moving there. I believe she will be happy.

I visited this facility

We went to Brookdale Lakewood. It seemed clean. It was updated. The big thing is, it didn't smell. We really liked it. It's closer than where my loved one is, but for the money, she was going to have to have a roommate and share basically a room. There was no divider between them, and they had no privacy. There were two beds in one room. That was the only reason we didn't take that. The meals were done, and the cleaning was done. There was somebody there to manage the medication. There was a medical …

I can't say enough good things about Brookdale Lakewood. I'm just sorry my sister had such a short stay there. She has passed away. I will recommend it to everyone I come in contact with that needs an assisted living home.
