Brookdale Santa Barbara

On a positive note the food was very good. The cleaning staff do a very consistent job of cleaning the rooms and hallways. The rooms are spacious enough and efficient. However, this is all overshadowed by the lack of compassionate understanding of basic ways to treat dementia patients by a few staff members including nursing. The director stated prior to accepting my husband that they were well trained in how to handle sundowning and aggression yet they instead videotaped my husband's aggressive episode instead of

A wonderful skilled nursing facility for dementia or Alzheimer's.

The staff was/is very friendly, professional, & always helpful to whatever your needs may be. The facility was keep very clean. The food was prepared fresh daily for patients. My wife was only there for 11 days. She had a breathing issue/ went to ER & passed 10 days later.

Review for Brookdale Santa Barbara

My husband received poor care from Brookdale. He received 2 UTIs. He lost 25 pounds in a month from being allowed to sleep through meals. The director kept raising his rate and then said he had to leave. He has been at [removed name]since July where he has improved significantly. I have never had a complaint and he has gained weight. I do not believe Brookdale is staffed well enough to deep their residents safe.

Top Notch Care and Exceptional Team !

[names removed] and their entire staff at Brookdale Santa Barbara go above and beyond every single day. Their professionalism, compassion, and dedication are truly unmatched. From the warm welcome at the door to the personalized attention they give each resident, you can feel the genuine care and commitment in everything they do. I have complete peace of mind knowing my loved one is in such capable and caring hands. Highly recommend this community to anyone looking for quality care and a supportive environment!

Simply The Best

Staff was friendly, professional, & experienced to assist with all patients/residents needs. Dining was 5-star and prepared fresh daily. After looking and visiting several skilled nursing facilities, Brookdale Santa Barbara was the number one choice. Very nice & Always very clean.

Profit over patient

Aides were wonderful. But, they were required to also be the cleaning staff. The establishment definitely moved their focus from patient to profit during the 6 months my mother was a resident.
