Brookdale Palm Beach Gardens

This facility is big on community and personality but small on common area space. You need to feel really comfortable being in close quarters with others all day. The grounds were lovely, offering a great opportunity to get out and experience nature on a regular basis, something the facility we ended up choosing doesn't have at all (and I hope they will correct.) Drawbacks here were also that, while a wheelchair could technically get into an Assisted Living apartment, maneuvering would be difficult as the units were not designed to be fully handicap-accessible (it was originally all Independent Living.) The other drawback was the need to evacuate for a direct hit - sheltering in place is not an option as it is with facilities built to the new standards. We toured the Memory Care unit and found it cramped, dark, and odorous on the day we visited. However, it is within the main facility so could be very good for one spouse with mobility issues to visit the memory care spouse. They do have what sounds like a pleasant daily routine with the residents, taking them out for nature walks, etc. every day and generally avoiding keeping them cooped up in the space. The staff of the main facility were VERY friendly, as were the residents! The residents were by far the most outgoing, friendly people we met anywhere. I loved "Happy Hour Bingo!" The ladies were having a grand time with their wine and bingo game. I also loved that the beach and a great waterfront state park were just a couple of miles away. Ultimately another facility was closer to family, but this was definitely in our top three.

Very nice tour. The staff was great, the facility very nice. It was also very helpful to talk to several people that lived there. They all said they enjoyed it.

I've been living in Brookdale Independent apartments for 8 months and have made new friends and participate in many activities . I was able to give up my car because trans pertation is provided within 10 miles of the building to doctor appointments, Publix, movies the mall etc. No its not perfect, the food could be much better, a better gym would be great, but they do work hard to keep us happy . For me its was a good choice to move into Brookdale with people around and nice surroundings. I visited the building a few times to see what was happening and what kind of apartments where available. I have a one bedroom apartment with a pleasant view and a washer and dryer.

My aunt originally had an apartment in the Independent Living area but then had a fall and after surgery/rehab was relocated to the Assisted Living area. Apartment is the same and we were able to move all of her belongings and set up her apt before she was released from rehab...so she returned to the same style apt but on a different floor. We have found the staff to be very friendly. I like that there is a MD, physical/occupation staff that comes to Brookdale to meet with the residents which mean they don't have to leave for these services.. Also that there is a hair/nail salon on site. The activities are wonderful - group exercises daily, usually have music in the evening, bingo, ice cream socials, and much more. While my aunt does not use the swimming pool, many residents do. I am glad we found Brookdale PBG for my aunt.

The nursing staff is fine, may of the aides are lazy, uneducated and don't care about the patients. Once the person goes from Independent Living to Assisted Living, this is not the place to be living.

This was one of many Brookdale properties. By far the best one. The place was clean and the residents were all out and about . The one bedroom in Assisted living had a full size fridge and a screened in patio. Assisted living drawbacks: laundry was extra charge. Definitely considering this one.

I was impressed with this facility and [name removed]! Independent Living is definitely an option I would consider here!

Before you move here spend some time in the halls. Usually just one aid which is not enough for assisted living. Pay a lot of money for the help you are suppose to get. Ask family members of the residents. You’ll be surprised. Upper staff tells you one thing but what really goes on is something else. Looking to move after 3 years . Home is not how is was or looks.

Great place. Friendly staff. Lots of trees surrounding the building. Peaceful. Quiet. Spacious apartments. Lots of comforts. My dad is going to move in.

This place is amazing! I was impressed with the privacy of the semi private rooms and the size of the private rooms. And this was in their memory care facility. All the people staying there were smiling, talking to each other or active in an activity. I will place my love one here.

While my daughter was on vacation we stayed here for about a month and enjoyed our time here. There were a couple of minor things that needed to be adjusted but overall it was very lovely. We really liked the food while we were here. We did some of the activities to keep busy. The staff was nice and friendly.

We are so thankful we found this community for my friend it is wonderful, she loves living here. She is doing most of the activities and enjoying the evening entertainment. The residents and the staff are just so nice and friendly. The environment is just happy and upbeat. The food is extremely good. They keep the community looking and smelling clean. One of the best communities we toured we couldn't be happier.

We are happy with the care at this community is very nice. The staff is caring and attentive. The menu could use some improvements.The community is very clean and maintained. She likes the activities that are available for her to participate. We would recommend the care and the value of this community to other families.

While I toured the Brookdale, I noticed that the rooms and apartments were very small. I didn't care for them at all they were dark and not as bright as others I toured. Also, I went into the dining room to try the food and it took 35 minutes to get a sandwich. It was not the place for me.

My mother-in-law has not yet entered Brookdale but has signed a lease and we were very impressed and happy with the personable, warm and caring people we encountered on our tour. The move in team were on point and accommodating. So far we are so pleased! My mother-in-law really liked the many great activities offered.

I would recommend this community. My tour went very well. The community looks great, everything was very nice and clean. The staff was very friendly and kind. My questions were answered, and they were informative as well. This is a lovely community with kind people. Everything went well, and I would even love to move here.

This is a great community, and I really enjoyed my tour. The community looked beautiful, everything was very nice and clean from what we saw. The staff was very kind and friendly. I would had been very happy with my mother living here. Unfortunately they did not have any rooms available at the time, and there was a wait list to move it. It was a great tour, this is a lovely community.

My mother and I have both gotten our independence back since she moved into this community. The community is clean and well maintained. We love the food there and the staff are fabulous. They offer a wide variety of activities such as exercise classes, entertainment and group. I would recommend this community. The only thing is the apartments are a little small.

I have no complaints

Both myself and my husband moved to Brookdale Palm Beach Gardens. We are enjoying every minute! We are healthy and this was a choice we made for ourselves, we didn't want to wait and down the road need someone else to make this kind of choice for us. Everyone here is nice, friendly, we say hello to everyone and talk to everyone. The staff is very friendly and very helpful. They take care of everything. They make sure it is clean and keep it clean. We haven't had any problems. The food is good, some not so much, but they have other options, it is healthy food. They have all kinds of activities, something going on all the time. I give it five stars all around, it feels like a luxury hotel!
