[name removed] and his team are excellent. They treat the residents with great respect. They are excellent from the top down. The cafeteria is a 5 star cafeteria. They cater to different types of residents when it comes to food. The place is clean and free of bad smelling odors. The building is extremely well maintained including the front door.

Would recommend this facility to others. And hope some of the new staff adhere to the rules of the facility and family members. Most staff members are kind and friendly and they are always attentive. Some still need a little work but I think/hope that they are willing to learn. Overall I’m happy with the care.

Response from Brookdale Phillippi Creek
December 22, 2023Thank you for choosing Brookdale and taking the time to share your feedback.
Caring for elderly people is very difficult emotionally and physically. They helped us make the hard decision with our mom. The transition was smooth and as they gotten to know her, they have given her dignity and shown her kindness.

We're very happy with Brookdale.They are very friendly and the food is very good. Communication about getting his medical setup was frustrating. We finally just last week got it set up with the doctor that is going to see and treat him when he needs him. [name removed] is very happy there though and everyone seems to love him. I feel sorry for the people that don't have loved ones to be their spokes person.

Staff has a large turnover, activities are lacking, administrators are hands off and non existent. Short staffed constantly. Food is not very good. That place was a absolute nightmare. Very understaffed, very unprofessional staff that was there.

July 14, 2023We take your comments seriously and are committed to providing quality service and care. Your comments have been shared with our corporate management team for review.
Phillippi Creek has a lot of issues. The billing department has made an error every month. There is huge turnover of staff. They are understaffed constantly. The staff is unprofessional for the most part. The food is horrendous. I could go on, but all I can say is: Do NOT recommend!!
They are short staffed, they don't have enough staff but they are pretty good. Mom likes the food, it smells good. They handle any problems. They are overall; friendly, caring, and wonderful. The nurses-aides are helpful if I have any issues.

This community was not clean and there was not a good smell in the community. There were a lot of stains on the floor and they had not been cleaned up and this was troublesome to me. it was an older community and it looked this way.

March 14, 2022We appreciate you taking the time to visit and are sorry to hear you feel this way. Our staff is committed to providing the highest-quality service and care and we will share your feedback with our management team.
There are quite a few staff members who care about the residents. The family need to be more proactive at overseeing the medication distribution being done properly. The staff do a good job at making people feel welcome and at home. The interior of the community is kept very nicely. The outside patio area needs to be maintained.

They are starting to bring back the activities which is great. Our loved one and family likes that this community has a lot of residents, it gives our loved one the chance to meet a lot of new people and make friends. We would recommend the Brookdale community to others, but there is room for improvement.

Losing all contact with my mother on [date removed] after necesary complaints through the help of my mother's professional guardian [name removed], and her attorney [name removed].This past week I had to report bed bugs. AHCA was there about past complaints and witnesseed the bed bugs. There have been untreated infections leading to loss of left eyeball, infected toe I had to report for over 3 weeks, laundry not done,, dirty room,, mother not being properly bathed, assigned to wrong room so investigation teams miss my mother. Kurt Greenlow said all complaints unfounded and because my mother has a state guardian no agencies will assist. Instead of any agency helping I am bring silenced being my mother's only voice and the only person she sees on a regular basis. This retaliation is to save Brookdale, [name removed] and her guardian [name removed] money in defending against my complaints. Multiple pictures available.

The communication between the staff and our family is good. They keep us well informed and up to date. The ground is absolutely gorgeous and the courtyard is secure and the residence can time outside. I would recommend this community to others.
