Great place for my dad!
The staff at Brookdale is great about communication among the residents and/or their families. Lots of activities to do throughout the week and families are always welcome to join the residents as well. Like any community, problems will arise occasionally, but Brookdale is very efficient about trying to get things resolved. We are very happy at Brookdale!

Very impressive staff and facility
This was a very difficult decision to move our 94 year old mother out of her home but she could not live by herself any longer . From the first visit we were impressed with the friendliness of the staff and the cleanliness of the property. We feel satisfied that our mother is safe and taken care of. I visit 2 to 3 times a week and I am always greeted friendly by everyone. It has so far been a great place for Mom.

SUPPORT IS EVERYTHING
I think it's important to know the staff takes great care of the residents. The transition is hard on the family and residents and the entire staff was very helpful.

Very welcoming & attentive to the resident's needs
Responsiveness to maintenance & repair requests seems good. Had a delay in resident's request to change meal consistency (from small pieces to whole), hopefully that's been remedied

Overall nice community
Loved the staff, set up of the unit, activities, etc. the only negative is they overpromised and under delivered. I don't think they gave my Mother as much attention as she needed to acclimate and at the time of her passing, they wanted me to get her into a nursing home.

A place for Grandpa
Brookdale was one of 5 facilities I looked at after I worked with “A Place For Mom”. Looked at ratings, level of care, $ and location. Once I visited the locations I felt so good about Brookdale. They made an impossible decision easy and seamless. Once we got him moved in, we found a caring and happy environment. He has been well taken care of and seems to be happy ( as happy as one can be leaving home). They have been wonderful to work with on a daily basis and helped make any adjustments we needed. I would highly recommend the facility and staff. This was one of the most difficult decisions I’ve ever made for my husband of 52 years. But, his physical condition made it necessary and I finally knew I could not give him what he needed at home and this what’s best for him. Angels work there!!!!!

A good place
[name remove], this is the third time I have tried to answer you. The request came as a text and I answered with several paragraphs before my phone ate it. I am now answering on my computer as my smart phone is apparently smarter than me. We believe Brookdale is the best place for Mom. We notice that they have been loosing staff and are understaffed. It seems everyplace has help wanted signs out and I have no idea where all the people have gone. My Mother-in-law got Covid a couple of weeks ago, but I know this is inevitable in any care facility. She was very sick for three or four days and still not feeling well after she was no longer positive. During this time, all of her jewelry, one gold watch and 4 or 5 rings, which may or may not have been valuable, disappeared. She might have taken them off and put them on her little side table and they could have fallen into the trash. She is very upset about the loss and that nobody came to her to ask her what happened. We reported it.

Friendly and professional
The facility has a family sort of feel. It is small enough to be personable. My mother-in-law is the resident. Most of the time she likes the food and I'm sure it is very good.

Engaged staff
We have noted on numerous occasions the staffs' kindness and engagement with the residents. The activities are numerous and encouraged for the residents. There are a variety of different room sizes to choose from based off of your loved ones needs. I would recommend Brookdale West Ashley to others looking.

Trying to find a senior loved one care
The family needs to stay constantly involved in the care. DAILY! The family will be cleaning, removing trash, laundry regularly. Some more friendly, saw much turn over and short staffed. Most days I watched caregivers on their phones in hallways. Family member not given correct inhaler. Found family member in need of emergency care while "nurse manager" didn't seem to sure about situation. The meals seemed good most days. If you didn't eat in dining area you could barely get a sandwich. The activities seemed to have good variety. ALL assisted living is OUTRAGEOUS for the care provided. If your family member has to be hospitalized passed a few days you are REQUIRED to go to rehabilitation while still maintaining your room expenses as if you were there...it's up to their discretion whether you can return.

Short staffed with a lot of falls
Dad has had many falls. His arms and legs stay bruised and scraped up. He is reasonably content in front of a TV or sitting outside. The facilities on call Doctor I believe has good intentions for all the residents and is active in their care. The residents are fed a very small amount of food at a time which is concerning for me (due to lack of nutrition).The help also does not give the residents enough time to finish eating and is often seen picking the plates up with food on them. I think the help should have a more encouraging attitude instead of asking if there done yet. He has definitely declined in the short time he has been there. I have not witnessed a whole lot of interaction with him. It is adequate in performance based on what I have seen at other facilities in the Charleston area. They are extremely short staffed. Which I think contributes to the many falls the lack of diaper changes and soiled bedding.

Attentive staff
We chose Brookdale West Ashley because of the cost for what we were getting. But also the smaller size was helpful due to the proximity of other rooms like dining, PT, library. Nothing was very far to get to. Very helpful and attentive staff. My Dad's attitude was really the only negative aspect. He just didn't want to be there.

Great facility- would recommend
She always complains about the food. Breakfast usually is the meal she likes the least. I know she would sometimes like cereal with milk. I don't think she lets the staff know that she doesn't like the breakfast choices

Everyone connected with management and staff have always been helpful. Picked this place because of wife's recent heart surgery and proximity to medical facility.

Tour
We toured Brookdale West Ashley when searching for an Assisted Living facility for our loved one. This facility was nice! The cleanliness was good. The atmosphere seemed good and everyone was friendly. However, the facility was over our price range. We continued on with our search.

Above and beyond expectations
Brookdale West Ashley in Charleston is an assisted living community my Mom has called home since May of this year. The people here have quickly become a part of our family. The staff/caregivers take the time to get to know the residents personally. The residents of Brookdale are welcoming and supportive of each other and especially of new residents. Above and beyond the daily needs provided (meals, meds, assistance), there is an active social and activity schedule that has something for everyone. There are regularly scheduled trips to stores, restaurants, parks, and also activities (bingo, board games, puzzles, movies, music, and painting just to name a few). My Mom has always loved flowers and gardening. The activity coordinator provided Mom a personal trip to shop for/buy some plants and supplies. She then supported Mom as she potted flowers and plants on Brookdale’s porch. This was pure joy for Mom. Mom loves her new home.

Review for Brookdale West Ashley
Once we toured the facility, we were so impressed with the staff, the homey atmosphere, and the true caring that we felt from everyone we met. Also, the communication from the very beginning was so impressive from Brookdale. They answered questions promptly and followed up regularly to see what else we might need.
