Nice environment, fun activities, food could be improved on.
My mom was very resistant to going into a senior living facility. But now, sometimes she's too busy to hang out with family because she's having such a good time there.
She does say the food is bland and does not taste very fresh.

Former resident
Overall, the experience was good, most notably my mother's caregivers were kind, caring, warm and friendly. The food service director and [name removed], the kitchen supervisor , always made sure my mother had her meals and when she didn't like what was offered they always made her something special.
The staff is friendly, and the quality of care is good but spread too thin. Often, my mother waited 20-30 minutes for bathroom care, and when someone arrived in 15 minutes it was rare. Again, that is not the caregivers fault; it is administration for not hiring more people.
Brookdale is old but they do keep it clean. The public spaces need TLC. My mother needed a lot of care with her meds and immobility so the cost was [fee removed], per month. I did expect more for that amount of money.
I felt I had to be present almost daily to check on my mom's care. However, administration was responsive to my concerns. I don't want to recommend any facility. I think everyone has to make their own decision.

Review for Brookdale San Jose
The facilities were very "homey". The staff was very friendly, professional, and compassionate. They were always there to answer questions, and contacted me if they had questions or concerns. This was in the dementia care unit, so I can't speak to the other units.

Bad Experience
I just spent a month at Brookdale San Jose while my house was being worked on. Warning to anyone considering this place: if you have a service dog, don't apply to live there. Two residents made life miserable for me and my dog, and the Director hassled me and didn't even talk to those residents, although I adhered to all responsibilities and rules and they repeatedly broke two major ones listed in the handbook everyone receives. Although the rest of the staff and residents were comforting and supportive, I couldn't tolerate living there any longer and instead came home to a house still being worked on.

We toured with Brookdale San Jose and had an awesome experience with them! We moved my loved one into another facility and did not have a good experience, so looking back I really wish that we would have chosen Brookdale San Jose instead.

This is a great place but be there for your loved one!!
We picked this community, because they had avalability, and it's close to me. They acted quickly to get my friend in the facility. They need to improve on tracking medication. Also, they need to add more staff, although they are doing the best that they can. I would recommend to other families. Make sure you keep track of things, and advocate for your loved one.

A clean pleasant environment but they are short staffed
We picked this community because, we liked the look and feel of community. The sales person was great, and the front end people were excellent. The care was not what was proposed. They were short staffed, and could not deliver what we expected. There is a huge staffing issue. My loved one has waited, a long period of time on the weekends for someone to show up to attend to them. The manager who runs assisted living were fairly new. Paperwork would take weeks, to get back and they don't respond promptly, because perhaps they are short staffed. They are very good people but staffing is a concern . I would not recommend this community for assited living.

Things could be improved
The move in process was not smooth. They kept giving me more paperwork to fill out (after I had already paid, but dad couldn't move in until it was completed) and then dad had to have pre admissions testing completed that we weren't told about upfront. So I ended up paying for several days that he wasn't even there or able to be there. The staff was nice, but they seemed understaffed. I had requested a lift assistance device and they told me they would get it for dad, no problem. I had to ask about the status of it several times after that. One day, I was frustrated and asked them to follow up on it. The staff told me they would call and look into it. She came back in a few minutes later with the device. I was frustrated and wondered how long it had actually sat there and could have been used if they had just taken the time to bring it to his room. The food was good. The facility is kept pretty clean. His room is clean. We brought in some over the counter medicine with a Dr's note for dad, and it took me asking several times before they started giving it to him. I understand there's a process, but we're talking weeks and I feel that was way too long and really no reason for it. I'm not sure if I would recommend this facility to others.

Our families experience
In comparison price wise it was good, but it was clear to us that they were short staffed. The facility is beautiful with the nice gardening area - our loved one has a balcony that overlooks it. The people there on our loved ones floor were very sweet, and they would immediately engage with her. Meals seemed well balanced at first and good, but everything was so covid related –when they had a lockdown the meals had to be served in the room so the quality and service went down, and house keeping was a little inconsistent.

Tour of Brookdale
I toured Brookdale San Jose and I liked it, the tour was a 5 out of 5.
They had a lot of nice things that seemed geared more towards assisted and independent living. On the 2nd and 3rd look, the rooms in memory care were very small and [community name removed] has a huge room that my mom stays in. So the smaller room did not appeal to me, that was the main reason we didn't choose Brookdale. I really liked that Brookdale sent me a lot of emails about caring for someone with dementia, how to choose a facility, and how to take care of the caregiver. They provided a lot of information and that impressed me; but the facility just wasn't a good fit for us.

Friendly & Inviting
Brookdale San Jose has a very friendly environment. The residents are friendly and the staff are friendly. Just a very pleasant environment. Like all healthcare environments, they are short staffed for caregivers. There have been times when there just wasn't enough staff/caregivers, but they are trying to remedy it. It would also be nice to have more nursing oversight. Overall I would recommend Brookdale to others.

Overall pleased
Overall the facility is wonderful and beautiful. We chose Brookdale San Jose in the beginning because of the resort type of appearance and living, it is very comfortable. The convenient location of the facility was an important factor in our decision as well. The residents get a menu to choose from and the meals are very good. My mother is not walking as much anymore and in a wheelchair and she is right down the hall from the cafeteria, every time they have to come get her for meals it is an extra charge of $10 which we feel is a lot based on where she is located. I would definitely recommend them to others looking.

A Great Place
We love Brookdale San Jose. The people who live there have a tendency to take care of each other. They look out for one another and see that they get out and do things, which I love to see. The staff has always been extremely helpful at fixing things. They're very prompt with any requests. I love the apartment. It is spacious and nice, and has plenty of room for my loved one to move around with his walker. And his particular apartment has a beautiful view out the sliding glass windows, which he really enjoys.

Everyone is friendly at this community and concerned for my loved ones well being here. They have activities like bowling, movies, work outs, happy hour, buses that take them on adventures in the area on wed., games like bingo and other games, arts and crafts and more for the residents to do to have a good time in the community. There are a lot of activities for them to pick from.

Comfortable, and Warm Feeling During the Tour and Felt Like Home
[Name removed] was fabulous during the tour and speaking us about Brookdale San Jose. The apartment was nice. [Name removed] was willing to update a little bit more before my loved one moved in. He was also able to work with us on the price of the apartment.
The only negative is we had possession of the apartment for two weeks; however, my loved one never was able to move in. Brookdale is wanting more money, even though we didn't move in.

Brookdale San Jose is a wonderful place to live! Great location - close to shopping centers, grocery and drug stores. Friendly and helpful staff. Residents are friendly - usually eager to help. The dining room offers many selections of food - you get spoiled! If you are in Independent Living and your health is going downhill, there are Assisted Living and Memory Care - in the same building. For 3 1/2 years I have really enjoyed walking to the lake right behind us - seeing the birds and ducks and geese fly in and out - and perhaps walk the trail around the lake - with families and bicyclists.

Tips for evaluating your community options
Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:
Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.
Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
Know the California regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about California regulations for Assisted Living.
