I have been very pleased with the Brookdale Oceanside community. As a community and what I have experienced with my mother has been as good as it can be. I recommend Brookdale Oceanside because all of the employees that I have met have been excellent in caring for my mother's needs. I feel blessed to have my mom there. It is my home away from home whenever I go to visit.

Although no place is perfect, I feel like they handle that place very well. They should hire someone to work the front desk during the late afternoon & early evening. I miss when closing time was 7:30pm. Sometimes they don't have transportation because the bus drivers tend to not last very long. Also I hear residents complaining about the quality of the food, & the dining area gets a bit too cold. Other than that things are pretty good.
My mom has been at Brookdale Oceanside for almost 10 years. Everyone is attentive to her needs. I highly recommend Brookdale Oceanside. The people are kind and caring! The facility is always clean and the food is really good.

They recently had some entertainment activities that were well done. One was a speaker who talked about Houdini, a magician, and a Hungarian dinner honoring Houdini and another presentation was on the Titanic. It combined a session with a speaker and a dinner served to 1st class passengers on the Titanic. Before the presentation they had a Guinness tasting and Irish music with Irish dancers. You just had to sign up beforehand and friends and family were invited as well.

Well my family member was in the memory care unit so I can only comment on that. It just wasn't a feel good facility, the staff were always polite but there was a lot of turnover. My dad was high functioning for dementia but everyone else was not so it was hard on him he couldn't interact with them.

It was not a good experience at all. He felt like he was locked in a dungeon. The whole experience was depressing for him.

My loved one is a resident at Brookdale Oceanside and overall, the experience has been good. However, the facility keeps raising the price and we are close to not being able to afford it.

I moved my great Auntie into Brookdale Oceanside in December 2023. She is thriving and living in the memory care section. The staff keep her busy with activities all throughout the day. The food is wonderful and the staff is always really nice. Her room is always very clean and well cared for. My Auntie is very happy living at Brookdale Oceanside and I would recommend this facility to anyone looking to move a loved one or friend.

They could provide more resources for services and assistance My grandma has said multiple times that the menu stays the same a lot of the time and the food is bland and often dry They raised my grandmothers price over 500 for reasons unknown and I believe they could provide more care and check ins. One helpful thing is definitely talk through all the prices thoroughly and try to see as many menus, activities as possible to make sure the person you are wanting to potentially take there resonates with it all, especially the price. They kind of pulled a fast one on my grandma and said she would be paying around [removed] but ended up paying [removed] and we still don't fully know why.

My loved one is currently a resident at Brookdale Oceanside. The staff at this facility are great, they're very caring and friendly. They do many activities with the residents and try really hard to make their lives comfortable and happy. The only issue we had was a little bit of miscommunication regarding the move in, but overall everything has been very smooth. This facility is a great value for the money. I would recommend Brookdale Oceanside to others.

My dad has been living at the Brookdale Oceanside for almost two years. He said it's home and he feels safe. The staff take great care of him, and customer service is a top priority. He enjoys the many activities, especially B-fit.

I am not a big fan of Brookdale Oceanside, I wouldn't recommend their memory care unit to others. It's hard to say what exactly they could improve on, it's my 1st experience with memory care so I really have nothing to compare it to, but I didn't get the warm and fuzzies from them. The hospice place also told me they wouldn't recommend this facility either. The only reason I went with Brookdale was because of the cost, they offered an all inclusive price that was very reasonable.

I was urgently looking for a nice place for my mother. I met with [name removed] who was amazing. She jumped through hoops to expedite the process and make the transition as smooth as possible for my mom. I feel a sense of relief knowing my mom is getting good care. My mom loves the variety of food choice and the staff is very kind. Thank you.

Brookdale Oceanside gets fives all across the board. My mom stays in the friendship suite simply because we can't afford any of the other suits but the amenities are great and she's taking advantage of the different games and exercise classes and events that take place. It gives me peace of mind knowing that she is being well taken care of and will receive assistance with a simple push of a button! Thank you have a good evening.

It's a very clean facility. Have never noticed any bad smells when entering or going through. The food not sure about, it smells good but some of the residents including my Mom say the food is terrible. My cousin and I are going to go have a lunch and a dinner there in May. Most all of the staff there are very friendly and accommodating.

March 8, 2023Thank you for choosing Brookdale and taking the time to share your feedback. We would welcome an opportunity to discuss any concerns you may have and encourage you to contact our management team.
Our family had an in-person tour and we thought the tour experience was very nice and professional, however, the building was older with less space and natural light then what we were looking for.
The tour experience itself was a 5, but I was not impressed by the facility. It seemed older, smelled musty and the rooms were dark and small.
I would never recommend Brookdale Oceanside to anybody. I was very disappointed with them. My loved one's room was very claustrophobic. She was with people who were near insane and drove her nuts. And I don't feel the attendants really cared about taking care of her properly.
