Brookdale Roanoke

The staff helped tremendously during the transition period when our mom moved in. They learned her interest and engage with her to help calm her when she wants to go home. She has adjusted and reports she is happy and she has fun at Brookdale. That eases our worries and makes us kids happy!

Brookdale Roanoke

At Brookdale Roanoke, residents can look forward to personalized memory care services and activities, as well as daily assistance from dementia-trained caregivers.

Here, Brookdale’s trained team members utilize two memory care programs — the Clare Bridge and Solace programs. The Clare Bridge program is an exclusive brand of dementia care. It was established more than 30 years ago and continually evolves as new research comes to light. The Clare Bridge program provides residents with six structured activities each day, including brain-stimulating games and physical activities like dancing, to promote the use of current skills. The Solace program, on the other hand, provides support to residents in the late stages of dementia. It offers assistance with grooming and provides opportunities to engage in sensory activities involving things like aromatherapy and music.

Another top priority at Brookdale Roanoke is safety, and staff is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to be alerted to an emergency. Plus, the community features an emergency alert system and keypad entries, as well as air ionization purification technology to better protect residents from viral infections. To simplify residents’ experiences during meal time, staff is trained to address a variety of dining challenges, such...

Of course the folks who live there all have dementia/Alzheimer’s and so the staff clean and clean but there will be smells and accidents. While staff can get frustrated with each other, they never take it out on residents and they generally try to work together as a team. The staff who work there have a VERY hard job and I appreciate each of them and what they do for my mother!!

BROOKDALE; Look no further for a giving and caring home.

We are very pleased with the entire team at BrookDale. From top to bottom we have never encountered an unfriendly or hostile person. The caregivers are excellent and probably not paid enough for their services.

Above and Beyond

I would give 5 to everything. If I could give a higher score for overall experience, I would. All of the staff I have worked with have gone out of their way to be helpful and show a warmth to the residents that is genuine. They consistently go the extra mile and consider it just part of their responsibilities. They treat the residents as individuals

Review for Brookdale Roanoke

I would say that Brookdale was wonderful and I would recommend them to be considered for taking care of their loved one. The size of the facility and the number of employees as well as the expertise of the staff involved with personal care. Location was also a valuable we considered.

Brookdale Roanoke Experience

Everyone at Brookdale Roanoke has been helpful and welcoming! I think that they need to have more variety of food. There seems to be the same options over and over again. Especially breakfast.

Review for Brookdale Roanoke

Wonderful place! I feel like it is the closest you can get to "being at home". The staff is kind, supportive and always go out of their way to provide my Aunt with support, love, encouragement and exceptional care! There is a great balance of independence and supervision. Brookdale has exceeded our expectations!

Top notch facility

Brookdale Roanoke is a very nice facility and the staff there are top notch! The rooms are small, but they do that on purpose. Too much is confusing for the residents. The common areas are very nice. I would absolutely recommend Brookdale to other families looking for memory care.

Wonderful care for Alzheimer's

Brookdale Roanoke is an awesome facility for Alzheimer's/dementia patients. They really understand how to deal with Alzheimer's since they are memory care exclusively. Many long time employees. The only reason I had to move Mom was cost but well worth it if you can afford. The room sizes are small, but plenty of room for twin bed, nightstand, chest and chair. All rooms are Private with a bathroom with a toilet/sink and showers are in hallway. They also have 4 sections they call cottages and they group residents by their level of care so patients who function better can be together. I've had Mom in 3 facilities, and Brookdale Roanoke is top notch.

Excellent Caring Community

I've talked with several of the administrators, and they are always eager to help. They call and check on me and make sure I don't need anything or have any issues. Tom Sawyer, their admissions person, as well as the nurse, Amanda, have been my main contacts. They keep me up-to-date on everything. I get emails all the time with updates, as well as letters in the mail letting me know what's happening. Overall they've been great. My loved one is making friends, and I like that there are plenty of areas for the residents to walk around the facility securely, indoors and outdoors. At other memory care places that we toured, we didn't find there was as much opportunity for unsupervised walking.

Brookdale doesn't just take care of their residents, but families too!

They take care of family members or caregivers, like myself, just as much as they take care of the residents. So, I think that's a big deal. I would describe the staff as very communicative, open, and friendly. I see them walking around talking to the residents, it's good! I do feel my loved one is safe there and I feel she's treated with dignity. They totally adore her and they cater to her. If she wants to sleep in, they will warm up her breakfast and they'll bring it to her later. She's spoiled! They offer a bunch of activities too. It's a big deal that I can pick up the phone or text, and they will get back to me, especially with me being so far away in Houston. I would recommend Brookdale Roanoke to others.
