The caregivers that took care of mom during her last days were very patient and caring with her. They tried to accommodate her differently eating requests which helped so much. [name removed] was a sweetheart as well. She did everything she could to help the staff.

Mixed experiences with Brookdale Oakwell farms - do your due diligence

We were there at a time when they lacked a facility director. As a result staff had no leader, distribution of prescriptions was incoherent, food service was inconsistent. We visited this facility a few weeks ago to visit a resident who recently left [community removed] and upon entering the facility experienced a different facility. Would strongly suggest that anybody looking at Brookdale so research and visit the facility at different times of the day.

Communication/Staffing Issues but Overall Recommend

Although my mom's care here is 100 times better than her previous facility [community removed] there have been some growing issues with lack of communication when reaching out to administrators (Wellness Director), no one answers the phone after hours or on the weekends on a regular basis, and the wait times after my mom presses her pendant have increased exponentially since she moved in and my mom is on the highest care possible that Brookdale offers.

A wonderful place.

Brookdale was absolutely wonderful to both my wife and me! All 5's! You weren't there so you don't know how good these people are. Each of these individual folks whether they be the nurse or an aid or the housekeeper or the cook or even the guy that runs the place. Each and every one of them treated my wife not just with dignity and respect, but you could tell that they actually cared. Plus they cared for me. One day I had hurt myself on the way in And I had a bad cut on my arm and the nurse took her time and her effort and she cleaned my wound and fixed it all up just like as if she was my own daughter. This is the kind of a place that there is not enough good to say about it. After my wife had passed, they still called and still ask how I was doing.

Understaffed and needs improvement

I do not recommend this place. They were always understaffed. They promised to fix shelves, backed up sink, and issues with roach's and ants that were never resolved after multiple requests. Understaffing resulted in lack of timely check ins with our family when requested. Most of the staff was very kind and gentle and there was one occasion when an employee was very rough with my father in law in front is my mother in law. He was non verbal and grunting from discomfort and despite requests from my mother in law for the woman to stop bc it was hurting him it was never addressed. Dirty dishes were left for multiple days and the refrigerator that was provided did not keep the food cool causing the food to go bad quickly.

We are incredibly pleased with the care and services provided to our mom by Brookdale Oakwell. The staff are exceptionally kind, attentive, and genuinely seem to care about the residents. The activities (and the activities director) keep her busy and happy. Most importantly, mom feels at home. We highly recommend.

Brookdale Oakwell Farrns as seen by outsiders

As you know my Wife was diagnosed, by the VA with dementia. I moved into assisted living to be with her Once I moved in it was determined that she passed all the dementia testing and no longer needed to be in Memory Care. Rather than pay for her to move in with me, we made the decision to relocate permanently to a 2 bedroom apartment at [community name removed] enabling us to utilize Long Term Care Insurance. Brookdale at Oakwell Farms is going through a transitional period following an ineffective Executive Director. The transitional administration is working hard to restore this facility to its previous state of the art facility

Recommended

The staff is very friendly and informative. Housekeeping is average, often requiring requests for certain services like vacuuming or mopping floor of the apartment. Communication with the family is good, but could be improved with residents that are mentally competent to keep them fully informed. Move-in process was good, however, during the first few weeks staff did not develop a care schedule that the resident could rely on for toileting, showering, dressing, etc. Staff needs to improve responsiveness to new residents' needs and wants. Food is great, good chef, responds to requests and takes time to get to know residents' likes and dislikes. Overall, I would recommend the facility.

Do NOT leave your loved ones here

They consistently leave dirty dishes in my in-laws room. My father-in-law has been hurt because he wasn't properly lifted. He has been left in soiled, diapers and bedding, which have resulted in an infection. They have called for help and not received it for long periods of time most recently I found out that it took about 40 minutes for somebody to come and check on them when they rang for assistance the carpet in the facility makes it difficult for my mother-in-law to get around and nobody comes to take her Outside or to dinner or to social events. every time that we go by to visit or drop off supplies, the dining area is always messy. There are always dishes from the previous meal left out.

This place was perfect for my parents! It's conveniently located, clean and well maintained. The staff is very friendly, professional and willing to find answers to any question. Compared to other places we've seen or tried, this was the best.

Not a good experience.

Since our overall experience was not good, I would say to others looking to make sure and ask lots of questions about the day to day routine. Meet the doctor(s) taking care of your loved one. So, you can ask questions about care/medication to ensure medication is being given correctly. Based off of our experience, I would not personally recommend Brookdale Oakwell.

time to heal

I stayed at BRookdale for almost two months after a serious fall. I wanted two things to happen, physical healing and confidence in my ability to live alone. Brookdale made it possible for me to reach my goals
