I am/was a resident of this facility

The facility is huge, sixty rooms or more. The food is mostly cheap hamburger or beans mostly. Jello often for dessert. The lobby gives a good impression but the rent is outrageous. $2200 a month with discounts and $6000 a month without. This is unfurnished. You have to provide your own furniture. I am a present resident. Many residents are very elderly. I am 83 with no dementia or poor health.

I visited this facility

Brookside Retirement Residence was great. They took me on a tour and showed me everything. Then the guy said, 'Oh I'm sorry, I forgot to ask you, what is your income?' So I told him, and he goes, 'I'm sorry sir, we can't accept you.' It was a very neat and clean place, and I was really impressed with it. I have no remorse or whatsoever on how they asked me. They treated me very well actually. They gave me a cup of coffee and asked if I wanted a donut. I was really impressed. They …

My parents lived in another place for two times the amount, which looked pretty and was spacious, but the food was not good and the rooms were actually much smaller. They were happy at Brookside and left to come live with me…

The people at Brookside Retirement Residence offered me a wheelchair-accessible bedroom. It's totally flat and has lower sinks and lower cabinets. I am very comfortable here. I am very happy that they have wonderful food, a full course meal once a day, and a light breakfast. They even serve some of their meals with wine as an option. It is all air-conditioned, especially in the last 2 months when the temperature was so high. There are people who would change my sheets and wash them, vacuum the room and clean t…

My mom just moved into Brookside Retirement Residence. So far, it's been good. She's only been there since last week. They have different sizes of rooms. I think they're a little bit small, but the price is appropriate for the size. They have an activities director. I haven't tried the food, but my mom says they're good. She's been happy with what they have. It's nice, clean, and they have people that come in every day and change their linens and pick up their trash. It's a b…
