Caring staff

After my dad passed away in October, we felt Brookdale was the best place for my mother. The staff truly cares—not just for her, but for all the residents. I really enjoy seeing how they interact with everyone; their kindness is genuine. Just last week, my mother had about five family members visiting. One of the staff members stopped by, noticed the gathering, and came back shortly with ice cream for everyone. It’s those small, thoughtful gestures that make such a meaningful difference.

Thankful for the wonderful care my mom receives.

My mom has never had better more conscientious care than at Brookdale East. She is well cared for, never left in wet clothes, and is always helped into bed at night instead of left to sleep in her recliner. The staff seems to enjoy their job and they truly do care about the residents. I'm thankful God led us to this place as it is truly been a blessing for my mom.

Need more staff.

Brookdale East Wichita is the only facility in Wichita for Dementia patients. To be really honest, the facility is very nice but is very understaffed.

Ensure facility is suited

If a friend asked I wouldn't recommend. The service to cost at first seemed ok but like most places it's on the job training and the professionalism seemed lacking at times. At other times they did quite well but over all experience and lack of protocols were short.

tour review

Our family had an in person tour with Brookdale East Wichita and I would say it seemed more "clinical" than "home-like" and staff seemed distant in regards to residents and the cost was also a consideration. Brookdale started at [fee removed] a month if I recall correctly.

Review for Brookdale East Wichita

Most of the care staff are passionate in what they do for the residents. Ratio of caregiver to resident falls in guidelines of KS requirements, but I think they could use more. Dementia and AD are diseases that deteriorate the residents and cause more effort to be done by caregivers - they don't always have enough CNAs to manage the residents. Not to mention they don't have much time to really engage, which the residents need. Too much time is spent in one room (game room) with one caregiver. The admin staff are poor communicators, rarely do they call me back when I call. I have never received a call back from the wellness director, during thee time that my loved one has been there.

Rest Assured

You can rest assured that while you are not there, the staff is taking care of your loved one. I was unable to go into the facility for over a year, and when I went in and was able to see my loved one, everything was tidy and in order. She was in as good of a condition as I would have expected. When I couldn't go in, sometimes it was a struggle to get feedback on what was going on, due to Covid. But I understand why - they were trying to keep my loved one safe. I would definitely recommend to others.

A Nice Place

They are the best we could find in the area, we looked at 7 places. The food is good. The room sizes are good and the layout is good. They have center courtyard for outdoor space. The staff is friendly. My mom is 99 and she likes the staff.

Best Care Community in Wichita!

My mother was a resident of Brookdale East after living at two other communities in Wichita. She spent six months at Brookdale before her passing and was the happiest I had seen her in a long while! The people who work at Brookdale are there because they love taking care of and enriching the lives of the residents. I saw it everyday with my mom. They visited with her in her room, got her out for activities that she thoroughly enjoyed, took care of her every need and helped my husband and I understand what mom was going through. Besides great meals and great care, the team at Brookdale knows what is necessary to keep their residents minds active. Every single day there are activities to help them think...games to play, puzzles to make, baking to do, crocheting/knitting, etc., etc. Also many musical performers come in weekly to share their talents. I found a "family" and not just a care community!! My mom felt the same and loved visiting with everyone there!! You will definitely fall in love with Brookdale East, as will your loved one!!

I'm happy with the care my wife is receiving here

This facility is doing a very good job of taking care of my wife. They have plenty of staff available so she gets a lot of attention, and they seem to be more attentive to the type of care she needs. If there are any issues, they call me right away and put everything in writing. They’re doing a good job of seeing that she gets fed properly from a set menu. They offer a few activities like movies and games and the building itself is kept very clean. Everyone there is very open to discussion and they all seem to be very attentive to me as well. I’m really happy with this facility.

More Flavor Please

All is well for my loved one and she's doing okay. They are trying really hard to make her happy. The move in was nice. The meals are not very good, it could be better. More options and cooking it better. They do not allow salt or pepper and they need more flavor. She does not have salt limitations and that could help with the meals.

They have a nice menu with a good variety. They do have activities for the residents who want to participate. The community is bright and has a nice atmosphere. We would recommend the care and value of this community to other families for a value with good care.

The Closeness Is Convenient

All is going well for my parents. We need extra care to ensure they won't fall. Dad has not fallen and they are taking good care of him with their supervision. They enjoy the meals and activities. My sisters picked this community because it is closer to their home and they liked the community. The proximity was important.

Well Proportioned Meals!!

I really like that the staff are all friendly and interact very well with the residents. The meals look very good and healthy she hasn't mentioned anything negative about them. I feel that she is in a safe place. I know that they have a close door policy but i would like to know that my loved one is getting checked on throughout the day. If i have concerns the director does acknowledge them.

Nice Homey atmosphere

I really nice homey atmosphere this community has.This is a wonderful community, they do fair job with keeping everything nice and clean. When I visit her is rooming pretty well-kept. The staff is nice, they are caring for her well, but the communication between the staff needs improvement. She is engaging in some activities, which is nice to see. The food is pleasant, she enjoys the meals. She is being cared for well.

Appearances can be decieving

When my husband went to Brookdale East in July of 2014 it was a very high quality, very well run residence. When he died in December of 2015 it was filthy and ill run. He had been injured by a staff member in front of me and very little was done about it. It is a small facility (approx. 32 beds) yet no one in the administrative positions noticed he was dead and gone for 12 days since he died on the weekend. The day to day workers care greatly. The supervisory personnel seemed to not care at all and probably could not have identified my husband had they been asked to do so.

disappointed daughter

Very nice facility if your loved one does not have Alzheimer's or is in a wheelchair. My dad, however, has Alzheimer's and is not in a wheelchair. The neglect is rampant and they are extremely understaffed and appear untrained. The communication of management is poor (almost non-existent) - concerns are not addressed and phone calls are not returned. Very disappointed in the level of care vs the price tag. Would not recommend this facility for Alzheimer patients. This is strictly an assisted living facility.

They were very nice but there wasn't a lot of activity.

They were very nice but there wasn't a lot of activity. This had more of a nurisng home feel than what I wanted to see. My loved one is still mostly independent. This is for people with higher needs.
