Brookdale Ann Arbor

Very friendly and professional staff. I liked the homely feeling of the facility. Lots of activities and the menu looked delicious. The tour was also informative, since this was my first tour of an Assisted Living facility.

I was late to what I thought was the time for the appointment and showed up on the wrong day. The director very graciously showed me around Brookdale and answered all my questions fully anyway.

Overall I had a positive impression of Brookdale Ann Arbor. The facility had no major items that were negative. Minor items were the location, possible limited parking.

While laundry service is available, I do not know if a laundry area is available for residents to use or what condition the various amenities are in. Brookdale is on my list of places to consider.

Compared to other facilities, Brookdale had a broader offering of activities for the residents, including offsite activities and events. I felt the social scene would be much better for my mom. They put a lot of pressure on me to quickly sign the 35 page contract in order to get the current month promotion. I took my time analyzing the contract to which I found a couple mistakes and several red flags which I felt the need to bring to their attention and get further clarification.

Excellent in every way. Currently a but shy in number of dining room. (Independent Living) wait staff.

I was told they couldn't force him to eat, drink or shower. Isn't that what memory care is??? To encourage these tasks and just do it? He ended up in the hospital for a week due to dehydr…
