[name removed] home…

My amazing mother [name removed] moved into your facility in January 2023. She has certainly enjoyed her stay and made lots of new friends. The residents have welcomed her wholeheartedly with conversations and compassion. Your staff has been very nice and supportive of her as well. The facility I find to be very clean and orderly. The restaurant wait staff has been well humored and allowed me to entertain the room from time to time. I was the one with the bubbles. My sister, [name removed], and I thank you all very much. We sincerely appreciate all you’ve done.

A New Place to Call Home.

Didn't really get the whole feeling of the place since we toured a different location and then moved my dad here. We didn't know a lot of things. Like how to get cable installed, that we got 10 free meal vouchers so we could eat with my dad, what day his apartment would be cleaned, ect. We did let the facility know that my dad's apartment had roaches and they did take care of that. Everyone was kind and friendly. We were told that eat into had an emergency pull cord, but when my dad used it, it took them 30 minutes to get to him and then they said he shouldn't use it in independent living. Nice and friendly people. Best place my dad has been for food. There are plenty of activities to choose from. We shopped around and this was within our budget.

Food is generally very good with a good variety of choices and wait staff very efficient at helping residents order both food to be eaten in dining room or to take back to room. Staff very friendly and helpful from management level to cleaning people. Community kept clean and tidy. Very nice library. Swimming pool great with very good organized pool exercise and activities. Nursing staff keep informed as to residents' changing medical status and needs and provide excellent assistance.

This was my first experience needing assisted living. [name removed] in sales was amazing. She helped me with referrals to get my mother in there and afterwards. I was invited to have a meal there when doing the tour and I could report back to my mother how great it was. [name removed] in the business office helped me with the billing. The nurses are friendly and kept me informed about her care. It's a great location and there are many activities. The receptionist is friendly.

xperienced and personalized care

It's a small facility with only 6 rooms so the residents get personalized care. The owner, [name removed], is very communicative and is great at her job. Very experienced. Most of the residents there are long term. There's not a lot of turnover. And there's not a rotating multitude of dozens of nurses. So they get to really know the residents. Most of the people there are in wheelchairs so it's kind of hard for them to do things. But I know all of the residents there just from visiting my father and they're all really happy.

Happiness at Brookdale Lake Orienta

My mother chose Brookdale Lake Orienta because she said it felt like home. We spoke to happy/friendly residents and staff during our tour. As I walk through the building with my mom, the staff and other residents call her by name and she has only been there 6 weeks. So many activities scheduled, it made it easy for mom to meet the other residents and make new friends. She has stated how much she loves Brookdale and how safe she feels knowing there is someone always there to help her if she needs it. For me, that she is happy and safely taken care of when needed is priceless.

Do not recommend

The main reason we had to move my mother out was due to our continued complaints about the a/c units not working well. They were the kind like in motels that fit under each window. There were three in mom's apartment. One got replaced, but from one you could see daylight at the bottom, meaning it wasn't sealed up properly. After a month or so, mom's dresser drawers swelled shut and we had to force them open and leave them hanging open in order to get clothes out. There was too much humidity in the apartment. I complained for almost six months and nothing was done. Then one day they called to tell me they had to move my 92 year old mother to another"room" because the cleaner found mold in her apartment. after months of complaints about the humidity, mold was found and my mother was moved to another facility due to the need for mold remediation. Truthfully, I would not recommend Lake Orienta to anyone. The elevators were constantly not working and management didn't seem to have their act together.

Good home

Very friendly and caring. Full time nursing with meds. Nice restaurant for meals and good activities. Will be changing my primary as not as pleased with the one assigned by facility. Right across from hospital and most doctors. A huge bonus as my dad is 91.

My loved one is currently a resident at Brookdale Lake Orienta. The staff is very kind, attentive, and caring. The move in process went well. I can't comment on the food as my loved one is on purred meals. I would recommend this facility to others. The location is near a hospital, if needed.

Move in frustrations

Get it in writing. No matter what they say, read the brochure and the paperwork. We were told things before the move in that didn't happen or were revoked such as how far they will travel for appointments. Whether it not she could have a pendant. And cleaning the apartment before move in. It became very frustrating. Really now that she's in she's happy. They do lots of fun things and family events. We were just not happy initially.

All staff and residents at Brookdale Lake Orienta are all very friendly. We chose this facility because it is a larger size than some others we looked at. We have a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment. I would definitely recommend.

Wonderful facility

Convenient location with lots of shopping, restaurants and across from top rated hospital. In addition, has physicians that come on site with Xray available. I also appreciate the excursions each week for shopping and church.

Life at Brookdale Lake Orienta

I am a resident at Brookdale Lake Orienta. The managing staff is very knowledgeable of procedures and requirements to make sure that residents' needs and safety are met. The nurses, med techs and CNA's are well trained and as responsive as possible under current difficult staffing conditions. I feel the ratio of medical staff to residents could be higher to be responsive faster. Housekeeping is excellent. I never see trash in the hallways or shared areas and room trash is cleared at least once a day, sometimes twice. There are no foul odors and the carpets and flooring are kept very clean. The linen and laundry service is excellent. The laundry rooms and equipment are kept immaculate and working for residents who do their own laundry. Food service is very good. They have a nice selection of food available in and outside of dining hours and available room service, also. Special occasions such as new resident and birthday luncheons are done well, as well as special dinners for Family Nights and holidays. Many activities are offered to keep the residents busy, challenged and entertained. There is limited driver service for doctor appointments, bus trips to local stores and restaurants, also various escorted outings to local museums, parks, theaters, fund raisers, etc. There are swimming, pool and chair exercise sessions, arts and crafts, games, billiards, an in-house movie theater, a beauty salon, various artists and entertainers and groups that visit the residents almost every week. This is a fun facility. The staff keeps the families advised and encourages them to visit and participate with their loved one. The sales staff worked with me to get me moved in as quickly and less stressful as possible. The administration staff is very happy to explain the billing charges and make any adjustments required. Overall, of the facilities I reviewed and considered, Brookdale Lake Orienta met most of my requirements and has exceeded my expectations. I have also made a new set of fabulous friends in residents and staff and I am ready to remain here for rest of my life.

Review for Brookdale Lake Orienta

The food is not that great and the service in the dining room is even worse. Residents are left waiting 45 minutes to an hour to be served. They don't clean their rooms weekly as stated in their materials.On the surface, it's a beautiful location on the inside and overlooks a lake.

We toured Brookdale Lake Orienta when searching for a Memory Care facility for my father. This facility was okay. The facility seemed kind of dark, but I believe that they were getting ready to move into a new building.

Dissapointing Management!!!!

They offered assisted living, and independent living. My loved one needed social interaction. She also had caregivers. The way they managed things was terrible. The marketing is wonderful, it's positive, but how they run things is not good. They were more set up to provide care for assisted living. Brookdale had a social dining hall, and nursing available. They had activites on the calendar. After dinner, they did not have a lot activites, although it was listed on the calendar. The chef was a wonderful guy but the menu was rigid.

The people at Brookdale Lake Orienta definitely care. The staff is very friendly and easy to talk to. I felt that the services available are worth the money, and I feel like I am leaving my mother-in-law in good hands. They had a lot to offer. They have 24-hour staff should there be an emergency. The dining is open from the morning until 6p, The meals are at specific times but she can get something to snack on when she wants. She says the food is good. She is also very happy with all of the activities and outings offered. They do not require you to move to another room in the building should she need a different tier of care unless it is memory care. They are part of the Brookdale chain and have communities all over the US. Should we need to move we can take her with us to another Brookdale. My most significant complaint is that they do not have enough office staff. Either that or the office staff do not communicate well or have a good system in place for passing information. It is difficult for us to get requests taken care of, like extra keys or maintenance, and there are times when it seems that one hand doesn't know what the other is doing. We have received different answers to questions from different people. That being said, I feel that the staff cares a lot about their people, and that is what made the difference to us when we made our decision to go with Brookdale Lake Orienta.
