Review for Brookdale North Raleigh

Food does not address restricted diets. And extreme salt. Apartment is acceptable. Apparently you have never heard of using thermostats, as the hall is freezing because the controls are all set to the lowest. I have considered leaving because of the dietary and poor maintenance, etc.

A "Sparkling" Community

I give it a wonderful Five I also give that a five it is an open space waiting for happiness There is a lot of activity going on both inside and in the back small courtyard for those who enjoy smoking or listening to music sharing a craft or just general chatting in the rocking chairs that are in the back everyone has a smile for you and will greet you by name if they remember otherwise wear the tag and they'll greet you by name. They are Johnny on the spot They stay with you while the ambulance is there while you are in the hospital they call and cheer you on when you return home They have a staff that is on top of all of the activities and is there to answer any question you may have even the personal ones they take an active interest and will help you through it to make you feel part of a community that cares yes I know only one to five but their food is made by world chefs, and 95% of the time the food is hot. It is brought to your table of four people. There are many tables for you to enjoy your dining pleasure with friends and family when you return from a hospital stay they will serve your meals in your room for a short period of time at no extra charge to you. The activities there are diversified many games going on all day in addition to structured exercise program as well as exercise equipment for on your own doing there's a pool that's available at certain times, but you must have a buddy in order to use the pool at non-pool times there's a hairdresser and a nail tech Arts and crafts as well as a store little tiny convenience store. I'll get together on Friday afternoon movies and outside entertainment in the evening they come in. I was sad when I had to give up my apartment at Brookdale independent living, senior solutions and come to Overture @ Crabtree only because I have made friends. I had just gotten that apartment to look like a home welcoming charming so if you're looking for value as well as a home atmosphere with not so much on your own activity Then fail is the way to go

The Brookdale experience

I am still trying to decide whether I like this facility or not. Obviously, I would rather not be in any type of facility like this. I feel Brookdale is a good facility but falls short in some aspects. On a positive note the staff here is usually friendly and helpful.

Perfect match for my mom!

What we like the most about Brookdale North Raleigh are the friendships our loved one is making, not eating alone, and the activities. Also having OT and PT on-site when she needs it. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend this community to other families

Great assisted living place.

Brookdale is supposed to be an independent living center, I am totally independent but it now has become an assisted living place. Only about 3% are independent residents. The activities get a 5+. If you are in need of an assisted living place, yes I would recommend it to other families.

My Experience

The staff at Brookdale North Raleigh are a happy staff, always enjoying their job. The staff makes every effort to learn your first name make you feel as comfortable and as a member of the family as they can to help them along. [Name removed], the man who owns Brookdale, started out in the kitchen many years ago. All of the staff from the cleaning to program to the front desk and the driver for the bus are so friendly. The residents included, they make sure that you enjoy being you and are feeling welcome here in the community.

My mom could not be happier!

Brookdale has been a wonderful experience for my mom. The staff is kind and friendly and the residents have been so welcoming. There are many activities to do each day, there is really something for everyone. There are many regularly scheduled social events throughout the week as well as lots of special events/entertainment. The food is quite good and the portions are perfect. I could go on and on but the best thing to do is see for yourself. Most of the residents, my mom included, will tell you their only regret is not moving to Brookdale sooner. I have total peace of mind about mom living in the Brookdale community.

Brookdale is a great place for independent living

The lead staff is very knowledgeable and caring. They have been very helpful to my mom and have reached out to me to ensure she everything she needs. Apartments are a decent size and easy to locate for the residents. Full kitchen if desired.

It's very nicely decorated and feels like a home. The food is hit or miss. Sometimes very good and others not! Very friendly resident community. Was affordable at the time.

Highly recommend

The staff is fantastic, every one. the cleanliness is impeccable, the food is great, in house Dr. it is only 2 miles from a Duke Annex hospital. 10 days of assistance hanging curtains moving things to the downstairs storage. in- house physical therapy. The grounds are gorgeous with gardens for the residents to grow whatever they want. The in suite house phone is great for those with problems using or losing their cell phone. cable hook up within minutes of a call. it is a truely wonderful residence with every ammenity one could wish.

Would definitely recommend Brookdale North Raleigh

Since it is independent living the quality of care services do not apply. The breakfast is not diabetic friendly. I am not the only resident who cooks our own breakfast. I am on a A gluten free diet due to food allergies. Very few choices if any. Get very tired of eating the same thing all the time since the variety would make me ill. I do not know much about the activities. I have been hospitalized right before I came and again since I have been here and on limited activity so I have not been able to take advantage yet. There HBU are many activities I want to join. Value for cost. Everything is so expensive these days. Everyone knows I am unhappy with the food. Other than that I love it hear. Hope to stay for a long time and definitely would recommend it

I highly recommend Brookdale

If you're worried about whether it could be a good fit, they're more than willing to work with you. They were very nice and usually responded pretty quick. The apartment sizes here are pretty nice! Even the smallest size was okay, with a nice bathroom, and a balcony. Without a balcony, they're much larger. I thought they were good. I would highly recommend Brookdale North Raleigh to others.

It's been a good experience overall. The staff is friendly & the place is nice and clean. They could improve in maintenance (it takes them forever to fix things & most of the maintenance staff are very inexperienced). Also they could improve the food. The food is just ok

Brookdale North Raleigh was a great experience and continues to be. My mother loves it and is thriving since moving there. She loves the water aerobics and the other classes, like movercise and art. And she likes that she can always eat a meal with people.
