Great choice for my aunt

Overall experience is very good. Staff all very friendly and well trained. Food mostly good. Gluten free meals necessary and sometimes it seems variety of gluten free is not great but they are trying new products all the time. Sometimes it takes too long for my aunt to be helped when she needs it. She can't walk or get around or even pull the cord for help so at the mercy of whenever they check on her.

I recently visited Brookdale Tempe. I found the community to be bright and welcoming. The staff were friendly and I saw many residents walking around and visiting with each other. It felt good there. My Mom has ALzheimer's. When she is ready for care I will choose Brookdale Tempe.

Feels like Family

I recommend everyone to look at Brookdale Tempe. Take a tour you will absolutely love the place, people, everything. I was amazed at the facity the things they offer our loved ones. The care they give. You will feel like you dropped your loved one off to family. They have group meetings with us as the family member who had to make that choice for our loved ones. They truly care. [name removed] is amazing.

Critical

I wouldn’t feel comfortable leaving another loved one at this facility.

If you leave your loved one here its best to check on them daily at different times of day they do not watch them closely they will leave the bed soiled put a blanket over it and put your loved one to sleep on the bed. There is not enough staff members and Most staff lack empathy. I did not enjoy the memory of my loved one being at this facility for their end of life journey. I don’t think id recommend it to anyone they’re all about money and booting the client and family out to gain the next client. Very feelingle
