Facility is lovely.The care is fair. The reception and the administration is a -5 They just don't care and lack of help is an understatement. My mother missed meals since no one was working on the weekend to wheel her to the dining room. I would call the office and ask about a bill and no one would call me for days and days. Bad run organization.

Most of the staff give exemplary care and some others not so much; response time for requested help (emergency as in a fall) is poor. After a lengthy wait my mom was on the floor for hours and finally called 911; she sat on the bathroom floor for about half an hour one night. Excuse is always they are short staffed. The meals are good and staff in the dining room is helpful. There are not many activities. The value for cost is hard to say because I don't have another to compare to

My mom was previously a resident at Brookdale Madison West and her experience at this facility was very good. They made my mom as comfortable as possible for someone with a terminal illness. I would recommend Brookdale Madison West to others.

April 18, 2024We are sorry to hear we did not meet your expectations and we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. The health and well-being of our residents is our top priority and we have shared your concerns with our management team for review.
We have been pleased with the quality of care and level of attention our loved one is receiving. We chose the facility because they have a lovely campus, many food choices and can provide more robust levels of care as our loved one's Alzheimer's progresses.

WE toured with Brookdale Madison West and They were very friendly. However, the room that they had available that we would have gotten was much smaller for about the same price as another facility with a larger room.
My dad is a resident at Brookdale Madison West. The facility is clean. The staff are present and helpful. The facility appearance is inviting. I think that the staff could do a better job of letting me know how things are going with my dad. I also wish that they would take the residents outside more. Also, they need to offer some outings, maybe monthly. But overall, things have been pretty good at this facility.

They are friendly and helpful. The community provides good communications. The staff were very informative about what is offered. However, I would have liked to have had more information about what personal services are added as that affect the final monthly payment. I am not usually there at meal time. I do hope they monitor what they eat. The one meal I was present at did seem like there were optional choices and the food was very good.

Our family had an in person tour with Brookdale Madison West and we thought the community was very clean and they were very efficient with their tour. Overall our family was very pleased with this community.
It has been a tremendous experience for our family. The staff is very attentive, friendly and helpful. They far exceed the previous assisted living facility my aunt was in. They offer plenty of activities. Generally the facility is very clean, although some of the carpeting in the common areas needs to be replaced. It is pricey, but they provide a very valuable service.

The room felt more like a hotel room, with the in wall heating and air conditioning. However the staff was nice when I toured this community.

Our staff is committed to providing the highest-quality service and care and we will share your feedback with our management team.
I was able to get both of my parents into this facility. I like the fact that there are nurses on the assisted living floor and also in the memory care unit during the day. They are very open door policy. In memory care her doors is open all the time and it is right across from the dining room so people come in to visit. There are some issues with transferring with hoyer, but I would tell others to just be very communicative with the nurse. Overall I would recommend to others looking.

I think that because they're so short staffed like everyone else, things have fallen through the cracks here. Especially the care and cleanliness. Housekeeping just isn't thorough. The staff is friendly. Communication with the family is lacking. They have a good variety of activities. The food is good quality and variety. I would recommend them to friends and family. Out of all the places I looked at, this one was the best in the area.
