Brookdale Woodward Estates review

I know that my sister who is a resident there is not very pleased with the quality of the lunch and dinner food choices and the quality of the food. Also, she said the laundry service is not consistent. My other sister has been washing my sister's clothes on occasions. Also, my sister says she thinks there is not enough caregivers on staff because she has to wait too long for a response when requesting service. She is wheel chair bound and dependent on others for assisting with ADL service. I have had meals with he

My father really likes the food and I no longer have to worry whether or not he is eating adequately. It is very clean and smells good. They are short staffed and it takes a long time for my father to get help getting in and out of bed.

Thankful

The greatest assets for Brookdale include: 1. The rooms are fabulous 2. The food is excellent 3. The staff is kind 4. The billing department is responsive The concerns are: 1. Clarifying what is standard versus which services are an added expense by the nursing staff. This inconsistency creates unnecessary billing challenges.
