Visiting loved ones at Brookdale Bloomington is always a delight. The activities and things the residents get to do are amazing. They even hosted a prom event for the residents that was so much fun for everyone that attended. Highly recommend them for their caring care team and for taking good care of the residents that live there.

My aunt is living in Brookdale Bloomington. It's very clean, well staffed, nicely decorated, and homey. There are a variety of activities available to residents each day and my aunt participates in many of those. Recently, we were driving back from lunch out at a restaurant and when my aunt caught sight of Brookdale she said, "There's home." I am so grateful that she feels that way about Brookdale.

It's a small setting, appropriate for my loved one. The staff has changed quite a bit from the original people who were there when we started, but the changes have been positive. The activities have increased and improved and are engaging. The current activities director is a gem. The facility is kept very clean and secure.

My loved one is currently a resident at Brookdale Bloomington and the experience has been good overall, I think. They have done all that they realistically can. My loved one is just not engaged with life much of the time, so it's hard to say what other people would experience under better circumstances.

This facility is tucked in the middle of a residential area and we didn't even know it was located so close to us. The community is quaint, comfortable and very homey. The hallways and other spaces were very clean, wide hallways with hand rails that make it easy for my family member to get from one place to another. The facility is small and staff seemed really friendly. The activity director was leading exercises with the residents when we walked through the building. Lunch smelled good and the apartment space is just what we were looking for our loved one. We were also excited to learn that our loved one could live there until the end of life.

Brookdale Bloomington was an answer to our prayers! The staff is so friendly and helpful, residents are happy, and even the food is great! It’s a great location, close to shopping and the IU campus, Bloomington Hospital, and dining. So easy for us to get to! And there’s a super cute coffee shop within walking distance. Love it!

This small, welcoming, and nurturing environment fosters a sense of security, safety, and well-being. We picked this community, because it was the right size, the staff was very welcoming, the care provided.My loved one is the resident at Brookdale, and as his POA I visited Brookdale and other Assisted Living choices in order to select the right fit for him. I would recommend Brookdale to others as a pleasant, clean facility, in which the staff works to help residents feel safe, cared for and valued.

We paid over [amount removed] a month for "special" services (routine room check as she was bedridden) that typically weren't performed. 8/10 times her room was dirty, she was lying in her own waste, and she didn't feel well. After we moved her we discovered she was having a lot of trouble breathing and had a raging UTI as well as a horrendous yeast infection. After a caretaker told me to get out, we couldn't get her out of there fast enough. So very disappointing.

Brookdale was good, but they never did change out the help string to a button for our loved one
The person who was working nights did not have any understanding of Alzheimer's at all. The administrative staff were not very cooperative. Some of the meals provided were inadequate, they tried to make them way too fancy and the residents want simple. My loved one was here 6 days and I ended up paying [amount removed]. I am not familiar with the new administration, but when I signed my loved one up, I did not get a copy of all of the materials and it was just left in the room. I would not recommend them to other families.

April 7, 2022We take your comments seriously and are committed to providing quality care and services to our residents. We have reviewed your comments, and are unable to verify the incidents mentioned, as we do not serve residents with Alzheimer's at this location. We would welcome an opportunity to discuss any concerns you may have and hope you will contact our management team to further discuss.
If we had to return you would do it again. It is a short term stay took the staff a bit of time to know the needs of care for my loved one. Miscommunication from staff to family. Communication with the community. Upon moving in wasn't a good experience. One thing went missing and they did not know what happened to it.

The staff members are wonderful and have continued to be so attentive to our loved ones needs. It is like a big family, every time we come to visit they are just very sweet and calm to the residents. Our loved one being the picky eater he is, actually really enjoys the meals and dining service and if there is ever anything he does not like they will substitute it out. He is very happy there, and the staff are just exemplary and professional.

It's a close knit group. It's not so big that you're just a number. It's more of a friendly and homey environment. The staff have been great. I haven't had any problems at all. I'd recommend the facility to anyone. It's expensive, but a better cost than I found anywhere else.

We toured Brookdale and everything seemed very dark and gloomy. The rooms were on the smaller side and painted brown so it seemed dark and there were no windows in the living area.
