Appreciated [name removed] coming in on a Saturday. Very informative. Helpful in describing the facility and the programs. Good ambassador. The facility was in great shape. The room was quite adequate. Residents appeared to be engaged. Given the early line-up for lunch, I suspect that the food was good. I have visited many facilities in my work. This was in the top 10%.

Family Experience

the whole experience has very positive experience for my mom I remember calling Place for Mom in February in a panic mode because I needed to find a place for my mom immediately.

We were met by a warm and hospitable host who had all the answers to questions we asked and offered suggestions we nevrr even considered. Brookdale Vestal didnt 'feel' like an assisted living or nursing home. Residents were dressed and clean and out.of their rooms. Very, very nice place.

Review for Brookdale Vestal West

He was only there for about 2 weeks. It is a nice place with excellent care for people with dementia who are still mobile. I would recommend it.

I visited this facility

I toured Brookdale Vestal West. The woman was very personable and very helpful. She showed me the two styles of rooms they have to offer and told me about availability and showed me all the different facilities they offer and everything. It was a well-organized tour. Everything was exceptional. They have a courtyard area, which is enclosed. The facility went around the courtyard, which was very nicely appointed, and everything, and a gazebo or something like that. It was a nice facility.

They have some very loving caring dedicated people there.

The only issue was the medicine dispensing. They had problems keeping things correct and problems keeping people in that department. However, what we like the most about Brookdale Vestal is the people! They have some great staff and very loving aides
