Big Company but local caring people make the difference

Business side feels very corporate with little local control, but some of the staff genuinely cares and is dedicated to taking care of the residence. Though there have been numerous staff changes, it's understandable that that is industrywide and not just specific to Brookdale Destin.

Review for Brookdale Destin

Do not put loved ones in this facility. They allowed the nursing staff to take(ingest)residents medications and ignored when it was reported. They gave meds to residents that were not prescribed meds. If any complaints were made the residents was kicked out. Multiple employees were family members of the director. Any violations were ignored.. I hope changes have been made since we were dealing with them.

The staff is very caring and you could tell that they loved my dad. Some of them attended my dad's funeral nearly 2 hours away.

Nice place but won't take no for an answer.

Brookdale Destin could be less aggressive and listen better. Our loved one found the staff a little unresponsive when she came to them with concerns. The staff was great, but she found the management quite pushy about signing up to stay loner. Always trying to talk her out of moving ack to her home town instead of stay there. High pressure selling turned her off so she wanted to leave.

our families experience

My only negative comment is that the management, while doing a lot to help my Mom and we're very grateful to them, were a little pushy about trying to get my Mom to stay there, rather than leave and go to her home in Wisconsin, where she is now and is very happy. I understand they need and want permanent residences but they were a little hard on her.

Don't use this facility for memory/dementia care!!

Staff is nice, but - they do not clean the rooms. Wall and floor in room has dried feces over a week. The staff does not listen to what the residents need or is required. They do the opposite then fuss at the consequences. Some staff is better than others. Care givers much better than nursing staff. Regarding value, they do nothing they said they would and charge 7000 per month. They charge me 1300 a month feeding fee just to keep my mom, who has Alzheimer's, away from others during meal time. They do not feed her as she only drinks ensure and they do not give her that as it should be given. My loved one has 30 days worth of clothes, underwear and 2 weeks of pajamas. When my sister visited all her clothes were gone. The staff used her diapers and wipes and towels and blankets and gave to other residents. We have to number and date everything. The entire staff of that facility were terminated but 3 people. The new staff only marginally better. I do not recommend this facility.

Peace of Mind

The staff are very friendly. The communication with the staff and family is good. There was a time that they missed out telling me something that needed to be refilled; however, it was quickly taken care of. The staff are very caring as well. The food is very delicious. My loved one seems to enjoy all the food. The activities director is open to suggestions for new activities for the residents. There are activities every day for the residents to choose from.

Disappointed

The main issue we have had is certain staff I find are hard to get along with even when I am nice to them. They do not take care of my loved one like I wished they would. I have found my loved one sitting in a wet diaper multiple times. I think they should have done a better assessment in the beginning so I wouldn't have to move my loved one. It has just been a bad experience.

Beautiful location. Poor quality of care.

My loved one was in the memory care unit and really did not need that level of care. She needed assisted living instead, and despite our repeated attempts, she never got moved. The memory care residents were mostly herded in wheelchairs and placed in front of TV, totally filling up a room every day, whether they wanted to be placed there or not. They were also lined up in front of the eating area, blocking the other residents. Overall, it was pretty sad. I don't recommend it, especially their memory care.

Tour of Brookdale Destin

We had a great tour with Brookdale Destin. The facility itself is a little older and just wasn't her style. It was also not centrally located so we went with another facility.

My Review of Brookdale Destin

We toured this community virtually, and it was very nice. We spoke to several different staff members, and they were all nice and friendly. They answered all our questions and were very informative. The community was more expensive than others in the area.

Fantastic staff!

The folks in Destin were absolutely fantastic. They made all the arrangements to get our loved ones moved in with an easy transition. The room they gave him was actually the model room which was very nice, unfortunately our loved one was not able to move in but they did help make arrangements with another facility.

Brookdale Destin virtual tour showed very nice facilities, large apartments and clean well maintained or renovated facilities. The staff provides a fun atmosphere with many social events throughout the week. Staff was very familiar with clients and all seemed happy and enjoying the activities of the day.

The best all around care for elderly family

The staff members at Brookdale Destin are absolutely incredible. This community is has the best value in the area by far and they offer the best quality of care. Their care services are fantastic and they offer a bunch of activities. Some activities they had were travel days, where the bus service would take the residents out shopping, to the grocery store or to their doctors appointments. It is located in a really nice upscale area, you can walk the property which is surrounded by lakes and bridges. We were able to visit our loved one during COVID which was great. We were allowed to sit outside in a lawn chair and be separated by the screened in porch our loved one had. His room was like a one bedroom apartment with a kitchenette. The food is top of the line, our loved one is a very picky eater and he never had one complaint. This community goes to a level one medical care in any room and throughout the whole entire facility. It is also located less than a quarter mile from the major hospital.

Brookdale has been good for her

My friend wanted to stay in the Destin FL area, we looked at a couple of facilites and they were not as nice as Brookdale was. In the beginning, she was not happy with moving out of her house. But since COVID hit, she has a ground floor apartment with a porch and she has been very pleased. She has a 2 bedroom unit so she has lots of space especially since the lock down. She likes the staff quite a bit and the porch has been a life saver so she can get some fresh air. She thinks they have done a very good job of keeping her safe during the virus. So overall we are happy with it.

Livable but way too expensive for value receivied

My stay at Brookdale Destin Senior Living was about one year until my wife died. It was livable but not nearly worth what they charge. Read every word of their massive contract because they will come after you if you fail to abide by any of the statements in the bundle of 30 pages.
