My dad has been at Brookdale for a little over two years. We are very pleased with his care and the staff is so very friendly and kind. My dad is well cared for by the care staff. The meals and activities always seem to be well liked.

Staff is friendly. My phone calls are always returned in a timely manner. My request would be more frequent or better communication pertaining to medical issues, for example Dr's appointments, illnesses, etc.

If your loved one passes on the first day of the month & a new week. They charge you for an entire week! It's in the fine print & a rip off. Especially when you are private pay. Then it takes months to get the rest of the month refunded, but they sure deduct it quickly. Not so quick to return it. I'm glad my mom was only there for 2 months. She was private pay except for her Hospice nurse who was wonderful & went to take care of her 1-2x a week! She was there when my mom passed & called us. It's better than many facilities in Pueblo, but they still need improvement!

Brookdale was really wonderful; my aunt was hoping to be able to go back there when she got better but that never happened. As far as [name removed] and I feel Brookdale should receive the highest score possible! That the staff is very caring and listened to our concerns. The only thing is they were short staffed so worked extra hard with what they had.

Pros Wonderful place. Activities and community were great. Cons There are not enough staff to manage wandering dementia behaviors. Day staff was great. Night staff was spread to thin. I would recommend for assisted living but not for extreme dementia behaviors.

This facility is devoted to the residents. Food is excellent, staff are caring and prices are far more reasonable than facilities with fewer amenities.

Dad absolutely loves it here! He always asks if we remembered to pay the bill because he wants to stay! Very respectful and lovely staff who treat dad like family. He loves to participate in all of the activities they offer. We are very impressed with everything.

Dad has had to learn to ask the staff for help when he needs it. He's not a social person so activities are hard. My dad liked the location best. It is in the side if town he is familiar with and close to stores he is used to.

I would absolutely recommend this place. I would tell a friend, it is a wonderful place with a very friendly and caring staff and they couldn't go wrong placing a family member there. We picked this community, for the cleanliness and the wonderful atmosphere. Also she loves her room.

When it came to the friendliness of the staff - some of the staff were wonderful, and others were terrible. On the memory care side there was not enough sufficient care. Our loved one did really love all the live music! The meals brought to the rooms are to expensive. We had to move our loved one out [date removed] because they could not provide the memory care they needed. If our loved one was more independent, it would have worked.

March 28, 2023Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We have shared your feedback with our management team, however, we would like to note that Brookdale El Camino does not offer memory care.
Overall things are going well for us. The staff are all extremely friendly and helpful to my aunt. the only main complaint she has had would be the food. When the meat comes out, it is very hard to chew. Sometimes you cannot even cut it with a knife. Other than that, it is a nice facility that has great amenities offered. I would recommend Brookdale El Camino Gardens
