Review for Brookdale Latrobe
They started at a 4.5 a year ago though but declined quickly over the last 3 months. Forced OT pushed most of the regular staff out that we knew in the beginning

Overall an excellent facility
I was very pleased with Brookdale and the way my husband was treated. I would rate all the categories a five. Yes, I would recommend this community to other families based on the experience.

Located in Latrobe, Pennsylvania — a part of the Pittsburgh metropolitan area — you will find a quaint, family-like community called Brookdale Latrobe. Here, residents seeking assisted living services and memory care will find the support and assistance they need most. From medication management, to assistance with bathing, dressing, and more, trained team members work with each resident and their family to create a custom care plan.

For every other category, I would give a 5. Especially the staff - they were amazing. They were always kind and took the time to get to know my Mom. A few were also very funny and interacted well with the residents. They really went out of their way because they cared.

Like most - communication, knowledgeable, cleanliness. Improve - price (the charge per service is a detriment in my experience). However, I would recommend Brookdale Latrobe community to other families based on the experience we have had so far.

It's very quiet and clean. Nice outdoor spaces. Nice library. Catholic Mass on Saturdays and non-denom on Sunday. Many grief and coping classes. Great activities. Staff are involved and csn meet any need or make any accomodation if asked. Allowed us to have Hospice assist at end of life which was very comforting.

My mom was very sick and on hospice and she was not there for very long. I wish my mom could’ve participated in some of their many activities. The staff at Brookdale were very kind and compassionate and made a very hard situation easier and I thank them for that.

We placed dad at Brookdale Latrobe in the late stages of dementia after trying to care for him as long as possible at home. We were concerned about impersonal treatment for dad. However what he received was anything but. He was only there sixteen days but the staff was caring and treated him like a long term resident. They communicated well with as even during his short term stay until his passing. We were very happy to have chosen Brookdale Latrobe.

Mom moved into Brookdale in late August. I have never heard her ask to go “home”. They keep her clean, which is hard because she’s incontinent. The facility is clean. The people are nice. The meals seem petite by my standard but she doesn’t say she’s hungry. How many calories can you really burn when you sleep 3/4 of the day? I know the staff has their hands full with keeping her clean. She was a challenge for us, that’s why we opted to seek out a nursing home. She was hitting and kicking my dad and me changing her pants and cleaning her bottom. I feel that she’s safe there and that gives us peace.

The entrance to Brookdale is very nice and welcoming. The staff is very accommodating and pleasant. Each member of the facility did all they could to answer questions of concern. Brookdale is very clean and all the rooms, cafeteria, and other amenities for the patients were wonderful. The staff has the best interest of all who reside there. I would recommend Brookdale to anyone who has a need for this type of facility.

Personal attention is great. All employees know each resident by name and interact regularly with them. On-site Therapy Engaging activities every day with varying degree of interaction. Religious affiliation. Catholic Mass Non denominational services Bible Study Local college students interact which adds diversity and perspective Outside areas Private meeting areas On-site nurse Memory care is separate and secured

I toured Brookdale Latrobe during my search for a Memory Care facility for my loved one. This facility was very nice! The cleanliness and friendliness were great. The atmosphere was great. This is definitely a Memory Care facility. However, it was beyond my means.

It's a nice facility. Although repairs to a faulty door lock and to walls after a freak thunderstorm downpour causing water damage were slow to be repaired. We really liked the administrative staff ([name removed], [name removed]) and especially the Clare Bridge Program Manager ([name removed]), but she resigned when we were moving my mom out, which would have been a concern. [name removed] in particular saved the day at a crisis point with my dad wanting to spontaneously take my mom home when he wasn't dealing well at all with my mom's condition and the change. The attending staff were friendly and seemed to be doing a good job, although understaffed at times. We moved my mom out primarily because of the financial model and high cost. My mom is in a place now with a benevolent fund which guarantees her care through the stages of Alzheimer's even if my parents run short on money eventually.

The nursing staff is very good but there are just not enough of them to care for all the residents in the memory care unit. My family member sometimes has to wait up to 30 minutes for a nurse to arrive and provide assistance with activities of daily living. They are so caring and supportive, they just need more of them. The accommodations are wonderful with the private rooms. It is very safe and always a pleasant atmosphere for my family member. Room cleanliness could stand a bit of improvement. There are many days that the room has food and dirt on the floors. Also nurses need to assist with personal care more routinely. I've found my family member has gone days without teeth being brushed. My family member doesn't remember and just needs the brush and paste provided as its in a locked cabinet for safety. The communication between myself, the nurses and the physicians is not adequate as it could be. Often times my requests for the physician are not passed along or are incorrect when done. My family member is adjusting very well to Brookdale and I do recommend it highly. I've experienced other care facilities and this one by far rates above them. Simple changes could push my recommendation to a 5 overall.

We were unable to care for dad. It was a very hard decision, but [name removed], [name removed], [name removed], and [name removed] made our decision to move dad to Brookdale much easier. It was a great decision and dad is content and well cared for. The nursing staff and aides are caring loving people. Thank you to all for everything you do to make dad happy & safe.

It is such a wonderful place. I was not sure and I didn't want to put mom in a home worrying about care. I am so glad that I picked Brookdale Latrobe! She seemed to like it right away. She has dementia, and they have activities all day. She made friends immediately. She is at home there. The staff is wonderful, you could not have better people taking care of your loved one. They are not just there for a paycheck. They are there because they care. They are family to your loved one and to you.

I placed my mother here and this is a great place for your loved one. I would go here if I needed to. They have activities like games, bingo, entertainment, mass on the weekends, knitting group and more for the residents to do.

Previously, the community has been very clean. The staff is very friendly. Most of the time, the care that they are providing is pretty good. They do offer activities for the residents and we have gone with my mother to several of them and they have been very good. Compared to other communities for what we get, we do think Brookdale Latrobe is reasonably priced.

The biggest plus is the staff,they know all the residents by name, they know all the family by name. They are taking good care of my family. Room sizes are a little small. Outdoor space is average. They have an courtyard. We were told there were more activities then there ended up being. My parents are pretty active and would like more activities. I feel it is clean and I feel my parents are safe.
