Review for Brookdale San Marcos South
They have been really great with [name removed]! She gets the care she needs and the care givers are so sweet and patient with her. I would recommend, if I knew someone that needed assisted living.

Our family recently had a very disappointing experience with Brookdale San Marcos South. While the staff was initially courteous and accommodating during the inquiry and tour process, what unfolded after signing the contract has left us feeling misled and taken advantage of. On [date removed] , I clearly expressed my hesitation about moving forward with the contract. At that time, the Sales Manager, personally assured me that if anything changed prior to move-in, the check and contract would be “torn up.” It was only under that verbal assurance—and while feeling pressured to secure the apartment—that I reluctantly signed and submitted payment. Ultimately, my mother decided to stay in her current community. We communicated this decision well in advance of her scheduled move-in date and requested a refund for the $[removed] we paid and were denied.

Dad loves all of the activities and options. The food is great. Staff are responsive and keep me up to date with medications and any changes.

Food was generally excellent and nutritious. Nursing care and aides were friendly and competent while some were better than others, of course. Many activities and programs were offered and special occasions were marked with families invited to a really special meal. The only problem I had was that too many of the people living there were bed ridden or didn't want to leave their rooms at all or had some degree of dementia. These problems kept really stimulating activities to a minimum. However, in a wheel hair or on a walker, I'm sure I wasn't at my best either. I did go the art and craft sessions and attend all musical performances. Staying there was a seductive option as it was so easy. But PT and OT and health nurse all said I must go home, and they were right. I'm still acting like a hermit using long term care aides, but I'm getting better about seeing friends.

They were friendly at every level and the overall experience exceeded expectations and it is a great value for money.

Some places have fancy stuff that us old people don't need or use and my home may not have a lot of fancy stuff but it feels like home. It is clean, the staff treat me with so much love and concern. Activities girl is so sweet and does lots of fun stuff with us. We have the best maintenance guy ever. I can't put his name but he always helps us with anything we need and has the building better than it has been since I've been here. The manager lady is always doing all kinds of stuff to make our home look good and even does craft stuff with us. Last but not least the receptionist is the kindest most helpful person you will ever meet. I love my family here.

The Team is very friendly and seem to genuinely care about the residents. My friend hasn't been there long so but so far she seems to be settling in just fine. I love the atrium with the birds, the activity director is friendly and engaging as is all the staff I have has the opportunity to encounter. Food is average as I have found in most facilities and the options limited. I would not categorize pre-packaged food as "Chef prepared" as presented.

Our dad has been at Brookdale San Marcos South for a couple of months and while not everything is perfect or has been exactly as promised, the staff and management and caretakers try really hard to resolve any issues that have come up. There have been water line issues that caused the dining room to have limited dining options. There was a recent Flu outbreak that caused the facility to have a version of a lockdown and extreme disinfection. The building could use some repairs. However, the staff seems to remain dedicated to caring for the residents and resolving issues very quickly. I feel Dad is in a safe place.

Building is old, which affects cleanliness as far as carpet is concerned. But they are painting and reflooring and refurbishing. This will help. Every member of the staff is courteous and friendly as well as being capable and willing to help in any situation. I have never had a problem with care. Of course, I treat them with respect and consideration in return.

Dad loves Brookdale and tells me he wishes that he would have found it sooner. There is so much more to offer than the previous facility he lived at. The cafeteria has better food, there are more planned activities, clean facilities, and an apartment he can call home.

I would say that the atmosphere is welcoming and the court yard is wonderful. It's pet friendly and the rooms are spacious. They could improve by making it to where the person doesn't have to pay extra to eat in their room if they'd like.

I would have to say 5 for all the categories. Everything so far with Brookdale San Marcos South has been great. What we like the most is the staff. Their staff team is great, the food that is served is great and they work with my loved one and their dog. I would recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had so far.

I think they do a grand job. Where I am in life right now is not to hurry, and not to worry. I believe I can live up to that here at Brookdale. Everybody that works here has a wonderful attitude. I no longer cook for myself so it’s wonderful to have that task taken care of.

I think the peace and comfortable feeling I get while living here is wonderful. I don’t feel out of place. It’s home, my comfortable home. I feel very lucky to be here! If we come up with something that is a problem I feel like the door is always open. I am always helped to get a better understanding from staff. I don’t know what I would do with out them.

To be comfortable and to feel safe with all the people around taking care of you, I feel Brookdale is a good place for the things. It makes me happy to have my dogs Pumpkin and Murphy with me. The grounds when I look out my window, are filled with beautiful flowers. I enjoy walking in the courtyard with my dogs who love it here also!

I used to be an activities director Back in my day. I enjoy making new friends here and helping the activities director. It’s a convenient location and close to the main stores. If anyone needs assisted living , Brookdale is a great choice.

Overall, it’s a good place to stay. I am fortunate and blessed to be here. Facilities are good. It’s home for me in my physical situation. It’s not far from my kids. Brookdale supplies all I need to keep up my quality of life. I feel like it will extend my life.

Based on our experience at Brookdale San Marcos South, it needs improvement. Lack of attention to maintenance. Lack of activities. Terrible dining experience.
