Review for Brookdale Chapel Hill Memory Care

The laundry situation is in need of reform. Many items of clothing and bedding have disappeared. I have brought this up with supervising staff more than once. I do most of his laundry at home. The staff varies a lot . There are some very caring excellent people and some who don't have the personality or temperament for this type of caretaking. The facility is nice and kept clean and inviting . The supervising staff are good listeners and welcome feedback.

Excellent Experience at Brookdale Chapel Hill Memory Care

The community has a dedicated Memory Care building, which provides a comfortable and focused environment for residents. The staff are kind, friendly, upbeat, and always helpful, showing genuine attentiveness to each resident’s individual needs. We also appreciate the weekly newsletter sent to families that includes updates and lead staff contact information, which helps us stay connected. My mom enjoys the food much more than she did at her previous CCRC, and she looks forward to the activities offered. She especia

not a good fit for my father's needs

They were always short staffed, especially on weekends. Activities seemed to be appropriate. My Dad didn't participate in many activities due to the fact he needed a wheelchair to get around. Unless my sister or myself were there, he didn't get a lot of help moving around. Bottom line my Dad's needs were greater than they could provide, although they assured us they could.

Brookdale Review

Brookdale has trouble keeping staff and following through on issues, like maintenance. The food was hit or miss. A lot of the residents are headed to memory care and some should be there already. I would tell others looking to make sure and ask a lot of questions and make sure you're comfortable with the answers.
