My mom was treated like family.

We were very happy overall. My mother ended having to do hospice which Brookdale was willing to accommodate. They took excellent care of her and we were relieved she could be in a familiar place surrounded by her life's memories and beloved stuff.

Little home with a big heart.

My husband has been at Brookdale for 2 months. I like that it is a small facility allowing him to receive the individualized care that he needs, and that the staff all know him. They are all caring and very patient with him.

Fantastic Staff

Visiting loved ones at Brookdale Bloomington is always a delight. The activities and things the residents get to do are amazing. They even hosted a prom event for the residents that was so much fun for everyone that attended. Highly recommend them for their caring care team and for taking good care of the residents that live there.

The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable for the care of my husband

I will recommend this place to others. My husband says that the food tastes terrible most of the time and is depending on who the cook is The staff keeps me informed of any issues or changes in his care and medication. No

Excellent Facility

My aunt is living in Brookdale Bloomington. It's very clean, well staffed, nicely decorated, and homey. There are a variety of activities available to residents each day and my aunt participates in many of those. Recently, we were driving back from lunch out at a restaurant and when my aunt caught sight of Brookdale she said, "There's home." I am so grateful that she feels that way about Brookdale.

Review for Brookdale Bloomington

It's a small setting, appropriate for my loved one. The staff has changed quite a bit from the original people who were there when we started, but the changes have been positive. The activities have increased and improved and are engaging. The current activities director is a gem. The facility is kept very clean and secure.

Our Experience

My loved one is currently a resident at Brookdale Bloomington and the experience has been good overall, I think. They have done all that they realistically can. My loved one is just not engaged with life much of the time, so it's hard to say what other people would experience under better circumstances.

Amazing nurses and staff

These nurses and staff go out of their way for their residents. They care about them and their safety. Brookdale does an amazing job of caring for the residents and maintaining the relationship with their family members. I’d highly recommend this facility.

Hidden gem

This facility is tucked in the middle of a residential area and we didn't even know it was located so close to us. The community is quaint, comfortable and very homey. The hallways and other spaces were very clean, wide hallways with hand rails that make it easy for my family member to get from one place to another. The facility is small and staff seemed really friendly. The activity director was leading exercises with the residents when we walked through the building. Lunch smelled good and the apartment space is just what we were looking for our loved one. We were also excited to learn that our loved one could live there until the end of life.

Best decision I’ve ever made!

Brookdale Bloomington was an answer to our prayers! The staff is so friendly and helpful, residents are happy, and even the food is great! It’s a great location, close to shopping and the IU campus, Bloomington Hospital, and dining. So easy for us to get to! And there’s a super cute coffee shop within walking distance. Love it!

Review for Brookdale Bloomington

This small, welcoming, and nurturing environment fosters a sense of security, safety, and well-being. We picked this community, because it was the right size, the staff was very welcoming, the care provided.My loved one is the resident at Brookdale, and as his POA I visited Brookdale and other Assisted Living choices in order to select the right fit for him. I would recommend Brookdale to others as a pleasant, clean facility, in which the staff works to help residents feel safe, cared for and valued.

We paid over [amount removed] a month for "special" services (routine room check as she was bedridden) that typically weren't performed. 8/10 times her room was dirty, she was lying in her own waste, and she didn't feel well. After we moved her we discovered she was having a lot of trouble breathing and had a raging UTI as well as a horrendous yeast infection. After a caretaker told me to get out, we couldn't get her out of there fast enough. So very disappointing.

Would not recommend

The person who was working nights did not have any understanding of Alzheimer's at all. The administrative staff were not very cooperative. Some of the meals provided were inadequate, they tried to make them way too fancy and the residents want simple. My loved one was here 6 days and I ended up paying [amount removed]. I am not familiar with the new administration, but when I signed my loved one up, I did not get a copy of all of the materials and it was just left in the room. I would not recommend them to other families.

Heads up

If we had to return you would do it again. It is a short term stay took the staff a bit of time to know the needs of care for my loved one. Miscommunication from staff to family. Communication with the community. Upon moving in wasn't a good experience. One thing went missing and they did not know what happened to it.

I would definitely recommend to a family member

The staff members are wonderful and have continued to be so attentive to our loved ones needs. It is like a big family, every time we come to visit they are just very sweet and calm to the residents. Our loved one being the picky eater he is, actually really enjoys the meals and dining service and if there is ever anything he does not like they will substitute it out. He is very happy there, and the staff are just exemplary and professional.
