Brookdale Anaheim

I visit my mother at least 3 times a week and want to compliment the friendly and helpful staff- they are all part of why I chose Brookdale Anaheim.

Would definitely recommend it.

My mother [name removed] is a resident at Brookdale senior living in Anaheim. My mom loves a care for all the friends she’s met and enjoys all the wonderful games and parties. I’m thankful to see her happy and healthy.

Brookdale Anaheim was a great place. The staff was excellent [Names Removed] whom I had the most contact with including all the receptionists. I can't remember all their names.I was very satisfied with this facility and couldn't have found it without working with [name removed] from a Place for Mom.

Staff are all very pleasant and want to do the best for their residents. They were extremely accommodating when we had requests: replace flooring in apt, repairs needed, allowed a challenging pet who means the world to my family member. They worked to find the best bathing assistant, given frequent refusals if the staff member did not have the right approach.

The value compares to other properties for long term/retirement care I have no insight. The guests there were all in good spirits and hence seem to enjoy it there. I needed temporary housing while my broken ankle healed. It definitely was the best price in the area for the services desired and offered. Private room and bath, 3 meals a day, weekly housecleaning, weekly laundry, complimentary transportation to doctor appointments. It was a very clean facility, great staff, and food.

Get a very clear picture of the monthly costs. I had to make a very fast decision. My loved one decided to not live alone very suddenly and I'm still working. That facility called back first.

This facility is clean. The Memory Care director is great. If I could give her 10 stars, I would. Laundry and housekeeping is twice a week. They have activities all the time and exercise, too.

All rooms & area are clean & large for price range. Very friendly. However they can improve on food

The community provided compassionate care with medications and patience when she called them often when she wasn't feeling well. Housekeeping did a great job keeping her room clean and picked up. Laundry services excellent. Receptionists were always very friendly. Sales department very nice and extremely flexible with move in and move out dates.

I would recommend it. The only thing I wish it had was a waiver for those on social security. They don't participate. Housekeeping comes once a week alongside laundry services. The food is very good. They provide transportation to doctor appointments. This place has 3 floors. They allow pets.

There are some good things and some bad things. Some things have bothered me, but for the most part, I think this is the safest place for my loved one at the moment. He would disagree, but he's going through some major changes in life. One thing that he's not understanding is why the floor is basically unpadded carpet on concrete, so every time he falls he bounces hard. One of the things that bothers me is in the bathroom, the only support rods are the big, chubby, smooth ones at an angle. So if your hand is the least bit damp, you slide. I think that's a government planning department problem, but it doesn't make sense to me that any healthcare location would go along with that. And that bothers me. Also one thing I find odd is in the diagram of the building, there's a large patio area in the center. And access to that to get to the other side of the patio has you going around green space when it could be a straight shot (concerning because it's an emergency exit, and also a problem when raining, etc.). And if you decide to cut across, you end up going past puppy waste on the lawn where people are not picking up after their pets. But my loved one's apartment is set up pretty well. We had to provide a lot of the furniture, but they also had a few things in their store room that they have shared with us. Their reception area and the staff that greet you there have been phenomenal. Even when I telephone in, I'm getting the same people. And they do their job well. I like all the staff I've met - they're all very friendly.
