Brookdale Sakonnet Bay

It is a nice place. In a nice location and the staff at that time were all pleasant and accommodating. We picked this community because of the availability for the dates we needed.

They have a real personal touch here. They are very attentive and accommodating to individual needs and interests.

We had the privilege's of stay at Brookdale the skilled nursing care level. [Facility removed] assisted in securing a place for us at Brookdale Sakonnet Bay. As we are in our 80's staying at Brookdale made it much easier to spend time with our family member. [Facility removed] was so helpful in out planning of a surprise birthday party for [name removed] 88th birthday. This is a beautiful facility is outstanding staff. Staff especially [facility removed] was highly praised by current residents! Meal were will planned and tasty.

My mother is very happy there, she has never complained about anything. The staff is wonderful, they care about the residents and their families. Excellence on display everyday.

They are very professional and compassionate. I would be comfortable with recommendations.

We found all of the staff at Brookdale Sakonnet Bay extremely helpful and caring. My dad moved in first and my mom moved in after finishing a rehab stint. Unfortunately, she passed after just being there for a very short time. The staff and other residents were very caring and supportive. Some staff even came to the visiting hours. The staff communicated with us about dad very well and genuinely cared about my dad. It is wonderful knowing that my dad has a supportive community during this difficult time, is fed well and his room is deep cleaned once a week. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone with an elder parent. There are now many new younger residents moving in, too.

I’ve lived here for 4 weeks and absolutely love everything about it !! The staff is very helpful and happy. They all are very accommodating to our needs and treat us all very special. I have a studio room and am amazed how in my room i still have lots of space, even after my queen bed and big dresser , plus a recliner and a queen Anne chair, plus a few other pieces of furniture are all in the room. There are many fun games, water aerobics in the pool, exercise classes and many fun games going on. Plus we have singing performers coming in to entertain us also. It is easy to make friends here. I would strongly suggest anyone to take a tour of this place if looking for Independent or Assisted Living situation.

The staff / facility is a really world class. I read some negative reviews of Brookdale as a corporation online but have nothing but good things to say. They were helpful, extremely accommodating to my mother's needs, and they were very accommodating and helpful when I needed to close our account. I couldn't recommend them enough, and I hope I can live in a place like Brookdale Sakonnet bay when I am a senior!

My Dad loves the heated swimming pool & morning water aerobics, 5 days/week. He's happy with the food and even happier that he sits with different people at different meals. A big bonus is that he has made friends with several widowers who are still with it & they have interesting conversations, unlike prior places where male friendship was harder to find. The location provides beautiful sunsets. There's a good sized population among the independent living units so there's more chance to find folks he enjoys. The staff is very helpful & accommodating of his interests, such as joining the local church choir & taking his daily bike rides around the campus, bringing the bike in & out on the elevator. He has settled in super well and seems genuinely interested in living there.

I only observed the skilled nursing section. I think the staff are nice but short staffed. The staff are quite busy. They could use more hands.

The community is very clean and I really enjoying playing poker. It is a good value and I would recommend the community.

if you have to go somewhere, this will do. there are no activities going on right now, so hopefully that improves. the swimming pool is closed and i'm unsure of when it will reopen.

Our mother absolutely loves the meals and dining service, she is getting such great care which gives us a huge relief. They have started to do more activities as time has passed and we really appreciate ho available the activities are.

Our loved one is in the nursing unit, so I can't speak to the other levels of care. Know that you'll need a whole lot of money. We pay a high monthly housing fee, but then we also received several thousands of dollars in bills for additional care. They told us our loved one was a flight risk and required that we pay their outside contractor an hourly rate to supervise him. But that person wasn't even there when we would come to visit. We've only been able to have supervised visits in a designated space, so I can't say if they're changing him properly and things. His appearance is well maintained, but they're not putting his hearing aids or glasses on. That doesn't allow for a quality visit. When I brought it up, they brought his hearing aids and glasses to us in a box and didn't even put them in for him. When you do ask questions, it's a very limited response. You don't get a lot of answers. They've not provided any assistance in navigating veterans benefits and things of that nature, and it made me feel like once they get you in there, they just hit you with the bill and that's it.

Our loved one seems pretty happy with the activities the offer for the residents

When it comes to the activities we think that they are doing the best they can under the current circumstances. They also are great communicators.
