Positive experience overall

Most of the time. Believe they are short staffed in the evenings and weekend. I can be a challenge to get someone to answer main number after hours. Recommend so far.

Yes, to see the layout of the rooms, you must give them all of your information first. Must be a trick place. Avoid at all cost. Why do they not allow you to see their rooms prior to giving them your information.

Brookdale MacArthur Park far exceeds expectations.

I am in charge of the care for a family member who because of a serious chronic condition cannot live alone. I have looked at many senior residences. Brookdale MacArthur Park is welcoming and supportive - a true community. From my initial work with the Sales department to move our family member into the facility (from another state, during the difficult COVID period,) to everyday interface with staff at the front desk, the business offices, the activities coordinator, medical /personal care staff, and up to the Di

Excellent care

My sister has been at Brookdale since February 2023. She has received excellent service from workers there. They try very hard to make sure we both are happy. The food is good and she enjoys eating in the dining room and has made friends there. Most of the residents are very friendly and go out of their way to be nice. Front desks people make you feel welcome as as you come in the door. No place is perfect but Brookdale is one of the best facilities I have been in.

Supportive, caring environment for my mom

My mom has been at Brookdale for a little over 2 months and we are so pleased with the care she is receiving. I love the smaller community because it feels more like home and is much more personalized. Everyone knows each other, the staff is knowledgeable and caring, and they're always available to help family members with questions. I feel confident knowing my mom is in a safe and supportive environment.

Inadequate in every way that matters.

My mother's room was a constant mess. She had little to no assistance cleaning it. Food was left out, ants crawling everywhere. I had to take ant traps over to try and deal with it. They suspected she had a urinary infection. I asked if they had tested for it, they said no, but they had ordered one. I went by several days later, still no test. She was very confused, I took her to urgent care her blood pressure was so low they admitted her to the hospital. Two weeks later she passed away from the infection they susp
