Review for Brookdale South Bend
Mom was only there 6 weeks. They could've used another aide. [name removed]was the best along with their activities person. I forget her name but she stayed with my mom after she fell before hospice got there to move her to the bed. She was very sincere and caring. It was like any other heath care place at this point with 1/2 the staff or more agency but they tried to use the same people. Mom never ate in the dining room. She didn't feel well and was having a hard time with her decline. She wasn't her normal social self she was very depressed. They tried but her world being mobile walking driving etc came to such a quick halt that she barely had time to absorb what was happening to her.

Very Welcoming!
Came in without an appointment and was helped with information with no hesitation. The staff is very friendly, I was greeted with a smile the moment I walked in the door which is refreshing. It was clean and smelled like something delicious was being made in the kitchen. I also really liked that it’s smaller size community with a home like feel.

Management not great
My parent is here and I have to say I am not impressed with this new director or head of nursing. They sit in their offices all day and don’t see that the families and residents are not happy. The building is filthy, the food is repetitive, horrible, kitchen staff is rude, and there are no real activities. There are some good cnas and nurses except one but they can only do so much. For the price we are paying it’s not worth it and I will most likely be moving my parent out very soon.

Great Location
I stopped into Brookdale and met with Miss [name removed], she was very professional and gave me a great tour. I saw the sign out front to stop in and even though it was not scheduled she took the time to go over the amenities and we toured the building, met a lot of the staff who were very friendly. She offered to show me the model rooms which were charming and clean. I would highly recommend this facility to friends or family. The location is prime as it is near several medical facilities, the mall and shopping.

Cozy place
When you get there you need to be let in which was nice for safety reasons. The lady who greeted me was very nice and professional. I was there to take a tour and they had a cute coffee bar and was offered a beverage. After talking with the sales person we walked the building and she showed me a cpl model rooms which were very nice. Decorated cute and the rooms come with a microwace and fridge.introdeced ne to a resident and some of the staff. They all seemed genuine and caring. Was there for my grandparents who may need assisted living. Been touring several and this one was small and one level which I liked for them. We are not ready yet but will definetly keep this one on our radar.

Brookdale South Bend review
was very happy with the care my mom got while she was at Brookdale. My two comments would be first... sometimes waiting to be buzzed in because staff were busy and i would be impatient but don't know if there's a way to alter that. Second... the costs are kind of mind blowing but i know everything is expensive these days and i did look at other places and in the end was okay with costs.

Review for Brookdale South Bend
Everyone was pleasant and seemed to enjoy the food. There ws laughter going on, and the residents seemed to be happy. it was a very plesant experience but it was a smaller community of residents. My only concern is, it was near a busy intersection, which was near a college campus. There was a safety concern, considering that my loved one has dementia.

I would recommend this community
excellent! anybody with a loved one in need, Brookdale South Bend is very good. they offer outside activities, physical therapy exercise class, movie day, and entertainment that comes in once a month. the food has good variety and flavor. they do accept pets, and they're very friendly with their weight policy for dogs. I've seen a resident with a 35lb dog there. as with anywhere else, they are having an issue with adequate staff, but they seem to handle it well. they've been improving overall over the last few months. [name removed], the administrator, does a nice job and she's continuing getting better people in here - as far as medical and staffing. I would recommend to others; Brookdale is better than what we expected. they are a small enough facility to where they do care and the staff seems to be into quality care of their clientele.

I definitely would highly recommend
I chose Brookdale South Bend because I was impressed by the way I was approached when I went here to tour. The people who answered my questions were very professional and thorough. I had confidence when I walked out that this was the place I wanted to send him to. The rooms here are private, it was very adequate for his needs. The meals were great and the portions were perfect size. Overall it was a great place to go, if I ever need it for myself I would go here with no question.

A nice, small place
We chose Brookdale South Bend at the time because my mom was in need of assisted living and we were able to get a discount. Even with that discount, the facility is very expensive. As far as I can see, I do not feel like they have enough staff members to care for the amount of residents that they have. Due to the low staff, the communication has not been what I would like it to be.

My parents have been here a year now. It is adequate & they are cared for, but not always & not consistently. As is common in these places, there is a lot of staff turnover & not much accountability. Either it’s someone new who doesn’t know what they need, or someone who leaves something undone for the next shift to handle. It has been mostly okay & definitely better than them living by themselves, but it’s not perfect. I gave them 4 stars because what they do is hard & staff comes and goes, but the backbone of it is strong and they do try to make it feel like home & they do have some activities.

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 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 Indiana 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 Indiana regulations for Assisted Living.
