Review for Brookdale Derby

The Staff is excellent. They are caring and friendly. I feel like my mother is well taken care of. The activities are okay but I think more thought could be put into them. My mom doesn't like participating in many of them. I would and have recommended Brookdale to others.

Review for Brookdale Derby

They struggle to keep good employees. The facility is pretty clean. There are a few times I could smell a strong urine smell when walking by the laundry room. I wished we had placed my parents there earlier when they were more independent.

Review for Brookdale Derby

I would recommend touring because the staff is really great and it a good atmosphere. I have already recommended it to friends! The staff was welcoming when my brother and I visited. The director took her time with us and answered all of our questions. The place was clean and cheery. It was in Derby.

My Tour Experience at Brookdale Derby

This was a really nice community with good staff follow up. Also it was further from family than we wanted.

After a recent experience with my mom we needed to find a care home for her. We were very impressed with all aspects of Brookdale.

I would recommend

We chose Brookdale Derby because of the location and the friendliness of the staff members during the tour. They also made the transition to move in very easy. The room sizes here were average compared to others places we looked into. The meals here were very good, they were able to choose off of a menu. I ate here twice and both times it was fantastic. I would recommend to others looking.

Happy with Derby Brookdale

My father-in-law has been living at Derby Brookdale for over a year. He is in a warm and supportive environment where his well being is constantly monitored. Derby Brookdale does a fine job of reaching out to extended family of residents and we have attended multiple family centered events, most recently a game night where we ate pizza and played BUNKO. They offer enriching activities during the day as well and the food is quite good. The staff is caring and professional.

The Meals Need Improvements

The only issue my mom has is with the meals. She says its not the best quality, her beef and noodles had a greasy taste. Otherwise, we are happy with the care and she is doing okay. The staff are friendly and welcoming, we have no issues. The facility is clean and they keep her room clean too. They have activities available for the residents.

Mom is safe and happy

Mom has lived at Brookdale Derby a little over a year, and we couldn't be happier with this facility. The staff treats my mom like she is part of their family. There are many activities offered that mom enjoys - groups coming in to sing, bingo, a book club, daily trivia time, and dominoes in the evening with friends, just to name a few. Each month, there is some sort of activity held in the evening so that family members can attend with their loved one. The staff is AMAZING! They are very professional and they pay attention to mom's needs. Knowing that mom is in a safe place, full of people who care for her, and in a place where she is happy, takes away a lot of the worry that I had about her happiness and safety when she was living alone at home. Brookdale Derby... #1!

Brookdale Derby - My #1 Choice for my Mom

I have worked in this industry for 7 years, in multiple different capacities, numerous different cities, and have walked in to 30+ different senior living facilities. Brookdale Derby sets the standard for excellence when it comes to providing care for seniors! Everytime I walk into this community, you can just sense the change in atmosphere compared to others. It's so positive, the residents are always active and engaged, and each team member that works there always has a smile on their face. Management is always available for any questions that I have, and respond quickly to anything needed when it comes to their residents. Some of the staff that work there have been there for 5, 10 or even 20 years... That is NOT something you see in this industry. I think it is a true testament to the passion each staff member has in providing exceptional care for seniors. It's very possible I will need to find a senior living community for my mom, and Broodale Derby will definitely be my #1 choice.

Can't Care For Dementia Patients

If your loved one has dementia/alzheimers, do not move them here. This facility is not trained on how to care for them, even in the early stages. They are more interested in "fixing them" instead of caring for them. Due to a management change 2 years ago, there is a huge turnover of CMAs. Brookdale overall is more concerned about money, than they are about caring for your loved one. There are a few employees here that are amazing but that is not the norm.

It's going really well, everyone is really great there.

It's going really well, everyone is really great there. It's kept very clean, and the staff is very friendly. They have plenty of activities, mom always talks about how she keeps so busy. She has made friends too, so aside from the daily activities, they also gather for a game of cards and things like that in the evening. The food seems to be fine, she doesn't always remember what she had, but she always remembers that it was good. I feel like the staff is very caring, and they pay attention to detail. If anything comes up they call me, and I don't have to worry about what's going on.
