My mother in law used to live in this community. The place was nice but she just was not happy. Aso, the place was very expensive and she could not afford it. Other than that, it's a pretty good community.

December 21, 2016Thank you for your review. We strive to ensure our residents are happy, engaged, and well cared for. We are sorry to see her go, but happy to know that your family believes Brookdale Paddock Hills is a good community. We strive to bring new life to senior living!
I would not recommend this community to anyone. Everything about this community needs improvement. In the beginning they promised a lot things to my mother and I, and they have not followed through with many of those promises. The billing is horrible. They continue to overcharge my mother for things she never received. When I bring up my concerns to the director, he says he will fix the problems, but he never does. The resources they say they have available, they don't. Everybody hates the food. This community isn't fit for anybody, they do not provide acceptable care.

December 9, 2016John, Thank you for your review! We realize our residents' families are just as important as our residents. We feel privileged to know you entrust Brookdale Paddock Hills with the care of your loved one. Sincerely, Athena
I love my dad there! I see a happy side of him that I haven’t seen in quite a while. He is making friends & participating in the activities. At first, he did not want to go, but, Athena made him feel comfortable & understand why this was a great choice for him. I am very happy with their facility. I would recommend paddock hills to anyone.

November 21, 2016Thank you for your review! Once our seniors make the move into a community, they wonder why they decided to wait so long. The programs in place are designed to encourage our seniors to become engaged, make friends, and enjoy all the places life can go. We love hearing that you would recommend Brookdale Paddock Hills to anyone, as referrals from family members are our greatest compliment! Again, thank you for your kind words. They will be shared with everyone!
My mom is so happy here. At first she didn’t want to go. Once she got there, she quickly made friends. Now she plays bingo, participates in dress up days, and loves it. Everyone there makes her feel like she is truly at home. I feel great knowing she is taken care of so well.

They were my second option after touring the community. It was clean and it had activities available for the residents. They were a little farther for us to travel towards and it was all about the distance. The were a suitable community to provide care that we needed. The woman who gave us the tour was very nice.

November 26, 2016Thank you for your review. We appreciate you taking the time to tour our community! We understand travel time is an important factor to families. If you live closer to the west side of town, we encourage you to visit our sister community Brookdale Canopy Oaks. Again, thank you for taking the time to review our community.
It is the perfect place for my mother-in-law. We are trying to get her in this weekend. I liked the friendly staff, the food is good. She even said so. And I do believe that she will work well there and come out of the depression and loneliness she is in.

November 21, 2016Thank you for your review! We are happy to hear you are pleased with our staff and food! We take great pride in our staff and dining services. Our goal is to make sure your mother-in-law is comfortable and enjoys her new home. We appreciate you taking the time to write such kind words about our community.
I toured this community with a long time friend. We were greeted with a smile and instantly loved it! Although my friend is not ready to move in a facility yet, this is the one she chooses. I have talked to a lot of facilities, but we think this is the place for her. We met the kitchen manager, the activities girl, and some aides. They were all very nice and took the time to say hello. When she is ready to move, she will move there.

When the time comes for your friend to make the move, we will be happy to help her make the transition as smooth as possible. Again, we appreciate your kind words. Sincerely, Athena Acosta
I was happy with this community in the beginning. We had an issue with the community placing my dad in a mental institution without notifying us. It took us 4 days to find out. Dad liked the food and it looked alright. They do not seem to follow through on the activities posted on the bulletin board. The common areas were clean, however his room was not.

December 27, 2015Thank you so much for your kind words regarding our community! We take pride in our community, in the care we provide, and treat our residents like family. I am elated to hear your satisfaction. Thank you!
So far so good. The people are good. The building still needs updating, but that's a work in progress. The food has been fine, my loved one is a picky eater, and they have made sure that she eats. We would like to see a little more communication with the family, especially when it comes to medical care. We are still working it out and getting to know each other, and I am confident that things will work out. I give them between a high three and a low four.
