Staff is very nice as are the people. It's all good he seems to be getting into the activities, change is hard for him so he's managing quite well. The only negative is there is no store to walk to.

Brookdale has been great BUT I am sourcing nursing homes as my Dad is going to need a bit more care. Warm and welcome staff. Feels like a "home away from home atmosphere" which is what I wanted for my father.

Have enjoyed moving here, staff is great, met some nice new friends, played in activities, love my studio Apt. Very helpful with housekeeping and laundry being done. Plus meals provided and even wine Wednesday and meet and greet cocktails on Friday. A fun community to enjoy.

Your staff are outstanding in all areas, including promptness, friendliness, efficiency and kindness. The dinning room when they are staffed are excellent. The place is so welcoming and warm and everyone we have met are so friendly and have very wonderful things to say about this community! I love the activities they present to the people who live there. It's truly like family. We are very happy at the choice we made to come to Brookdale!

The friendliness of the staff at all levels was very nice and kind. There was a lot of interaction and he always felt that they cared about him, which relieved me a lot! They need more physical exercise that is required!

They are WONDERFUL! My mom loves the place and is doing not just better health-wise but also tells my sister and I all the time how happy she is. She loves the interactions with the other residents and has so much fun/looks forward to the activities they host. Thank you for all of yours and your teams help. I sing your praises all the time.

I moved my mom to Brookdale from Southern California about a month ago. While it has been an adjustment for my mom the staff at Brookdale has done a great job making my mom feel at home. They are all very kind, patient and helpful. My mom says the food is good as well and maintenance has been very responsive.

The staff here is incredible! We did not move here in the best of circumstances as far as our health but have been helped every step of the way, from coordinating the move with my relatives to helping my husband get released from a nursing home when he was ready but they wanted to keep him for their own reasons. They also have available and coordinate getting very good primary medical care, PT and OT right here in the facility. Some of my early days have been tough and they will deliver meals to our room when ill or (for a fee) or when I just didn't feel like going to dining room. They accepted a package for us and delivered it to our room. It's truly well thought out and comprehensive help. They also promote community among residents and though we're still new here we have met many people, even without yet (for our own health reasons mainly) being able to participate in activities. I highly recommend Brookdale Farmington Hills and A Place for Mom!

Perfect transition for elderly parent from a house/condo. Still very independent with the luxury of having three meals a day prepared for you included in cost. Staff all get to know you, your preferences, and usually even your name. The majority of residents are social and you can opt for as much or as little socialization as you want.

I'm waiting to get older so I'm eligible. The accessibility to things that I might need help with is what stuck out over other places.

Good value for the money. My mom lived there for six months until she passed. The rooms are very nice. Everyone we encountered there was very kind to her.

Yes, everyone has been great very professional and the residence is always clean. However, just one concern. My dad was charged each time they brought his meals. They offered so he didn't know it was a fee. This was very misleading. It was never explained that's was a fee. An invoice should be given upon delivery. One observation - the carpet by my dad's room can be cleaned or replaced . During the tour it was immaculate however they put him on a different side of the building that I did not necessarily see during the tour. It would have been nice for him to actually receive what was advertised to us, but overall it's OK. They just need to clean the carpet or replace it.

The main reason I chose Brookdale Farmington Hills was because of the porch. Everyone is great here, residents and staff. I think they could improve on the food by adding more and run by start only.

I can write a book on their dishonest, uncaring, and incompetent practices. Their brochure and staff said that Internet is included in the rent. In fact, [name removed], the rental agent, told us that the unit we rented "has the best Internet reception in the facility." When we got there, there was no Internet service. When we brought it to their attention, they said that Internet is for staff only, not residents. They had us digitally sign a contract on their computer without letting us look at what was on the contract. Since we were in a rush, we asked them for a copy of the contract before signing it, but they refused to provide one. We signed it telling them that we do not agree to conditions that we did not specifically discuss. After at least five requests to several people, they finally provided a copy, but they had changed the monthly rental rate to [fee removed] from the [fee removed] that we originally agreed to. It also showed outrageous conditions, such as a penalty of [fee removed] for paying rent even a day late. Had we know that, we would have found another place. One of their staff members stole [name removed] (the patient/resident) controlled medication. When we cornered the person who had it last, she said that she dropped it off to his room at 3pm. When I told her I was there at 3pm waiting for it, she changed the time to 6pm. When I told her I was still there at 6pm, she changed her story to 9pm. She then said she placed it on [name removed] desk and that "he must've thrown it out by accident." [name removed] was bedridden and unable to walk at that point. We never got an explanation or apology from the facility, everyone blaming someone else. That employee probably still works there. The toilet did not work properly. We reported it a couple of times, but three weeks later, no one had come to repair it. We finally had to call their corporate office to report it. When someone finally came, they used [name removed] paper towels and left a mess behind for us to clean. The emergency pull cord did not work (in his temporary room). [name removed] fell the first night, and ended up with a bruised hip. Nobody came to help. When they moved him to his permanent unit, I asked them to test the pull cord several times when I was there, but they never came. When I tried pulling it to test it on my own, nobody came to assist. When I went to the front desk to find out why, no one was there. They later told me that someone is always there, and when someone goes on break, the manager monitors it, so they do not know what happened. When I could not get a hold of [name removed] for several days, I got concerned and called the front desk to ask if they could do a wellness check. They said they do not do that kind of thing. When I asked if I could ask the kitchen staff if anyone has seen him, they transferred me to the kitchen, whose voice mail was full. Their voice mail was full for weeks, and the manager never answers the phone, so there was no way of getting a hold of anyone. [name removed] paid extra to have meals delivered to his room. During the first two days of his stay, not a single meal was delivered. When I found out and asked the staff about it, they said "someone must've forgotten." Although [name removed] was in the final stages of cancer and was not eating much, he said that on average, 3 - 4 meals a week were not being delivered each week. When I called the manager to report it, he dismissed it by saying, "it happens." It did continue to happen until the end. When they did bring meals, they brought them in multiple disposable Styrofoam containers per meal, which quickly created tons of trash. They said they could not bring meals on regular plates, so he used up lots of trash bags for all the excessive garbage. Once when he ran out of bags, housekeeping was nearby, so I explained the situation and asked if she could give me a bag to tie me over until I brought some next time. She coldly replied, "we don't give out bags." [name removed] was lactose intolerant. The staff was told this multiple times, and after a while, I even started writing it each time on the weekly menu to remind them, but several times they brought food that included lactose His patio/screen door was broken. We reported this multiple times, but it was never repaired during his stay. There was an entry card to a door that was close to [name removed] unit. I asked several times for an entry card, but none was ever provided, so I had to walk an extra long distance to go through the front entrance each time. After a while of living there, [name removed] ordered a package that was to be delivered by UPS. They told UPS that no one by that name exists, so they returned his package (even though it had his correct room number). [name removed] fell while I was there. I called for help to the front desk, but no one came. Then, 20 minutes later, the meal delivery man came to deliver food. I asked him if he could help me get [name removed] back up. He said, "No, I am not allowed to do that." and quickly walked away. They advertise transportation to doctor's appointments and such are included in the rent. Once we tried to get a ride to an appointment, and they told us they do not give rides anymore, since they did not have a driver.

The cost is affordable compared to many other assisted living facilities, but there are some disappointments with the on-site care through Balanced Home Care. I would not recommend to others, if they had a bigger budget to work with.

There are some areas they could improve on but overall the apartments are nice and roomy with a lot of storage space. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend the Brookdale Farmington Hills community to others

If you want clean laundry, you must do it yourself. Nursing is very poor. They "sell" that a nurse is on staff, but she never assesses patients. Aides are highly variable; some are very attentive and caring, instill confidence in in the care my loved one receives. Others are unprofessional, argumentative and lazy. Executive director has variable effectiveness and can be quite dismissive to family concerns.

I was previously a resident at Brookdale Farmington Hills and the atmosphere was sad. I would not recommend this facility to others.

I picked Brookdale over the other communities because of the overall experience I had with the two visits. There wasn't just one or two things. I would tell a friend about, all the experiences I've had - good and bad.
