Brentwood at Fore Ranch

A close friend of the family was transferred to Brentwood two weeks ago from a local rehabilitation facility following a fractured hip. This friend has been at Brentwood for a full two week period without a landline connection in his room. I have brought this to the staff's attention on multiple occasions, including today. There is no phone jack outlet in this friend's room, as confirmed by their staff. A local cable company reportedly provides the phone service, and a recent response from Brentwood's management is that our friend has a "hardware" problem in his room that has led to the lack of telephone service. In the meantime, this 88-year-old gentleman does not have a working cell phone, and must wheel himself (via wheelchair) to a staffmember's office or to the receptionist's desk and ask to use their phone to place his calls. This is socially isolating for our friend. Brentwood advertises itself as a luxury facility, but serving macaroni and cheese as the main dish is a second indication that all is not well at this facility. Before moving your loved one to this location, take a thorough tour of the facility especially during meal time, and be sure to ask if a basic feature such as a landline connection is provided.

This was a beautiful newer facility, which is currently full with no vacancies. The manager was very knowledgeable, and was thorough in answering our questions. The rooms are good size, and well-laid out, and all have a window. After the tour, they provided us with a beautiful lunch. Very impressive!

I was hunkered down with my parents who reside at Brentwood at Fore Ranch during Hurricane Irma in Ocala, FL. I was so impressed at the organization and dedication of those who work in this facility to continue the highest quality of continued care during the storm. My parents have lived here for a yr. and a half. I was always impressed by the facility and the care that they receive, but in the face of a national disaster, I can't be more sure that choosing Brentwood was the best decision. This certainly is a sturdy structure...I never heard Irma during even the worse. There was a temporary loss of power, generators kicked in for 14 hours, before full power was restored to the facility.

I am very impressed with the Brentwood facility. After working with both [Removed] for over a year, and visiting many other memory care facilities, I decided to take my beautiful wife to this wonderful facility. She is in the late stages of Alzheimers disease, and has now been there for appx. 6 weeks. The people that work there are fantastic and very caring,. My wife is doing better now than when I moved her there. The people that work there are there because they care, not just for the almighty $. They know her name and are genuinely concerned for her well being. The place is always clean and the food is terrific. I do not worry about her, because I know she is getting the best of care. Both [Removed] are very accessible. They are just as helpful after you are a resident there as before. I am confident that my decision to move my wife there was indeed the right one.

This is a beautiful community. The food is good and I was offered a meal and was, please. The community is very nice and I was happy with the cleanliness. The do have a lot of activities that are offered for the residents to participate. I would recommend that families tour the community to see if this is what they are needing for a loved one.

My mother is doing very well here at this community. I'am pleased with all they have done for us. She safe, and receiving great care. This is a nice community, and everything is working out very well. I have ready recommend this commodity to my family,and friends.

I am happy to see my father in happy with this community. the staff is nice and caring to his needs. the community is always very clean and maintained. The food is excellent and a good variety of meals. He likes talking with the other residents. They do offer nice activities. We would recommend this community to other families for great care and value.

Everything is working out pretty well for my parents since their move to this community. They are happy, and I'am satisfied with their move to this community. They are pleased with the meals. The community is well maintained. They have not had any problems with the cleanliness of the facility. Overall all is well, and I would recommend this community.

Many thanks to Laura, who is in charge of wellness, at Brentwood. After two "problem" issues with my dad, it was very refreshing to deal with someone who had a comprehensive and logical plan for my dad's care. He has transitioned very well and I thank Laura and the staff for that.

The food is wonderful and the help is great. However, somehow Mom's paper work fell through the cracks. Part of the problem was my DR. was in the process of moving. The other problem what paper was there never made it to the nurses' station.

That is now Mon's new home.

A beautiful place with all the amenities. Cordial and accommodating staff from the tour guide to the nurses. Most importantly the people living there seem to have a zest for life and enjoy each day. My husband is now there and I thank A Place for Mom for suggesting this facility.

There is always room for improvement.

Its a really nice place and for the most part a good place for mom. But as with other places its important to visit and stay up with the care they receive. A place is only as good as the people that work there.

I want to give a 5 star rating to Brentwood and the wonderful staff. My brother and I moved our parents there in [Removed] and have been very happy with their care. The staff is very friendly and that makes me happy - I feel they really like being there too. I especially want to thank [Removed], Director of Nursing, for the outstanding job she does each and every day. I feel like she knows and loves my parents almost as much as I do. She always makes sure she is available to answer all my questions. I do not worry about my parents thanks to her and her caring staff. Thank you Laura! And Lynn, you are outstanding too??????

We are pleased with the excellent care and wonderful staff! They are always concerned and attentive. My dad enjoys he chats with staff about politics and the navy. I find this it is a clean community.My dad does have a small issue, since he is in memory care he gets his meals picked for him. If in the dining room he has options so when we visit him we take him to the dining room. We are pleased with everything

Brentwood at Fore Ranch used to be a decent place to place your love ones. Unfortunately, it is no longer like that. They are always short staffed. The food that they serve to the resident's is deplorable, they often use the same food in the same week. I definitely would not recommend this place to anyone. Because of the shortage of staff the residents do not get the best care that they deserve. Too many times they wait 30 to 45 minutes for help to arrive in their room. They need new management desperately!

Brentwood is a clean community and the scenery is beautiful. This is a top notch place. The food is good and they even had a 4th of July party. The staff seems concerned about the welfare of the residents. The doctor and the head nurse are great. The head nurse is very professional and takes the initiative to see how the residents are doing. The staff try to get the residents involved in daily activities. They treat the resident with the respect they deserve.

My husband and I toured this facility recently and all I can say is it is fabulous. We are moving my mother in law here from California. The staff were attentive, caring and seemed to know each and every resident. The place is clean, well kept and the residents seem very happy. I wish I could live here!

Brentwood need new management and im going to call the state as well
