Brookdale Lake View

The location is excellent! It is a short walk to the beach, park and several bus stops. I like that I can easily take the bus downtown anytime. The neighborhood is full of great shops and restaurants.

We really liked Brookdale Lake View! The staff were exceedingly friendly. It is an older building but the community was very nice and well laid out. The dining room was well kept. The lobby was very nice and welcoming. Brookdale was a little more expensive per square foot compared to others we visited.

Staff is very thoughtful and friendly. Services are well designed and appropriate for most every level of care. Food is very good, dining room is attractive and pleasant, and serving staff is accommodating. Common areas are clean and attractive. Other residents are well maintained and very nice.

infested with ants. they did not contact my relative when a package arrived. complication when requesting comprehensive coordination with inner acting staff members. when dinning as a guest only twice, on one occasion when asked what i would like to drink, i never saw that server again and my drink never arrived. another occasion when asked if i wanted parmesan cheese , it never arrived. food quality is, ok.

My Aunt lives on highest floor in building and has spider and ant issues. Been bitten by spider and has ants in kitchen has only been there a month

The staff is knowledgeable and caring and the facility is safe and clean. There are many activities for a wide range of interests and abilities.

Things are going very well and we have no complaints whatsoever. Thank You.

As opposed to the expensive rehab facility where my mother's health, strength and outlook declined over the months she was supposedly healing from a broken leg, the newly invigorated 89 year old has found an excellent assisted LIVING environment and hope - at Brookdale-Lake View. Brookdale's facilities are lovely and thoughtfully designed for maximum engagement; the staff and residents are most pleasant and helpful, and the food is terrific! We are extremely pleased and grateful to Brookdale -- particularly to leasing associate Earl [removed], who went above and beyond to ensure that my mother's needs (and there were many!) were met. Best of all, and unimaginable in mom's darkest days in rehab., Brookdale has paved the way for a happy new chapter of LIFE.

My Dad was there for two weeks and then he went into the hospital and he has been in rehab ever since. They were great to work with, the staff was great to work with for the short time we were there.

It's only been a month and there have been some issues. The staff gave no direction or orientation when I came. They didn't seem prepared for my issues. The food is fine, I'm not sure I know about if I have all the services. They seemed like they knew and understood and would be able to provide what I needed.

This is a definite maybe for us! We think the studio size is a good fit. My sister and I would like to visit together for dinner one night soon.

Everybody is super, super friendly and nice and they explain everything. That part was great. For the assisted living part, I don't like the bathroom. It's hard to explain, but they cut out a tub, so there is this ledge you have to step over and it's just very difficult to get in.

They really did an excellent job. I shopped around at several different facilities, including other Brookdales, and Brookdale Lake View has been great. They were absolutely amazing. Even before my aunt actually saw the facility they came over with medical staff to do an evaluation and to answer all of her questions before she moved in. It was a very clear choice going with them, and since she has moved in there her health is good, she is happy, and everything is just going incredibly well. They were very accommodating in helping her move in and have continued to be incredibly helpful. We are very happy and could not say enough about the staff, the care, the facility, etc.

It's been great. The staff is very informative, they keep us up to date on everything that is going on. We haven't had any complaints about anything really, the food is good the activities are good. Everything is working out well so far.

So far they are doing pretty good. No major complaints at this time. I would like to see a little more help in terms of getting the utilities set up, getting the phone and cable started. Other than that, everything is pretty good.

I am very happy with the staff and the other people that live their. They all are nice and make you feel like home. The food isnt that bad have some food choices. There is a few activities. The facility is very clean and well maintained.

So far we are pretty happy with it. I don't have any concerns over how clean it is, or the staff. The food is pretty good, and it's pretty fancy. It's good, and I would give them a five.

My mother moved here in Jan. 2015. Overall, Brookdale Lake View is very good, in some categories, excellent. The apartments are large and comfortable. Unfortunately, the bathrooms are quite small, difficult for someone who needs a walker to get around. Toilets are very short--risers needed for anyone above average height. Staff is friendly, helpful, and responsive. Coordination between departments can be problematic (i.e. a therapist sometimes shows up at the same time a bath aide is there). The food is very good to excellent.

We loved this facility for a number of reasons. However, we do not like that if/when Lilo runs out of money, she would have to leave here. Also, we do not actually know how much the assisted living costs would be until she has an assessment run on her. Therefore, it is tough to make an informed financial decision.

I am considering this place for myself. however this was the ONLY place that did not let you open the windows...major negotiating point. I can't stand heat, I leave my windows open in the winter.
