Wonderful Place/Wonderful People

I loved the place. Theda, the nurse, totally went above and beyond! As a nurse myself I knew how great she was! [name removed], the person that handles the visit etc. felt like family! When my mother needs full time care.... this is the only place I will consider. I was very comfortable with my mom there.

Brookdale is a warm and nurturing environment, that gives peace of mind.

They have very low staff turnover. She is clean, her room is clean and the only problem is low staffing ratio on weekends. [name removed] is so much happier at Brookdale and that makes me happy. It is such a better place than her previous facility.

Be Vigilant About Your Family Member's Healthcare

She had a health situation that staff did not notice was occurring. When the paramedics were called in the middle of the night, the staff couldn't tell them what meds she had or when. They didn't even tell them she was a memory care patient. It was shocking how little they could tell paramedics or notice her fluid retention.

My family has a nice environment with caring staff, good food, weekly entertainment, and trips to town

What we like most about the Brookdale San Marcos community is there is someone always available. We would recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had so far with Brookdale San Marcos.

Brookdale San Marcos North gets all 5 stars! The staff were very respectful to my mom. They were always encouraging her to walk and enjoy spending time with the other residents there. I would recommend this facility to others.

Great

It has been a great experience. The staff knows me really well. They're very nice and friendly and accommodating. They take excellent care of the people who live there. And the facility is great - it's very clean, and has a nice layout. I don't know how they could do much better.

Impressive execution

They have a lot of care for the residents at this community. They take their jobs very seriously and I am very comfortable having my parents at this community, They have activities like bingo, painting, and more for the residents to do to stay busy and active in the community. The staff are excellent with the residents and their needs. The tour was great we toured twice and it was very impressive.

Memory Care

My mom came to the community with advanced dementia. She has been welcomed with open arms into their small memory care unit, by both staff & residents. She came with a walker & now after 3 years, is wheelchair bound due to her dementia and age (96). The caretakers & staff provide complete care for her, help her participate in the daily activity schedule, when she is able, and the staff makes sure that she gets to meals and eats in their private dining room. They assists her with eating in her room on days when not able to get up. They try to engage her is appropriate activities in the communal living room throughout the day to help her be a part of the community, as much as she is able. We have had many ups & downs with mom’s decline over the years and the unit staff & upper management staff have been responsive and accommodating to help us meet her changing needs.

Excellent staff, excellent care, excellent everything

We fell in love with Brookdale from the first step through the front door. The staff members and care services were a 5 plus, the meals and dining service was perfect and the activities were very good. We do think the value for cost was good, they really did treat our family wonderfully. During her stay at Brookdale she really did seem happy.
