Brookdale San Marcos South

Dad loves Brookdale and tells me he wishes that he would have found it sooner. There is so much more to offer than the previous facility he lived at. The cafeteria has better food, there are more planned activities, clean facilities, and an apartment he can call home.

I would say that the atmosphere is welcoming and the court yard is wonderful. It's pet friendly and the rooms are spacious. They could improve by making it to where the person doesn't have to pay extra to eat in their room if they'd like.

I would have to say 5 for all the categories. Everything so far with Brookdale San Marcos South has been great. What we like the most is the staff. Their staff team is great, the food that is served is great and they work with my loved one and their dog. I would recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had so far.

I would say you should make a visit. Come talk and have lunch with to see our menu and experience the dining services. It’s a great place for the money and it’s a wonderful community. There are lots of nice people here.

I think they do a grand job. Where I am in life right now is not to hurry, and not to worry. I believe I can live up to that here at Brookdale. Everybody that works here has a wonderful attitude. I no longer cook for myself so it’s wonderful to have that task taken care of.

I think the peace and comfortable feeling I get while living here is wonderful. I don’t feel out of place. It’s home, my comfortable home. I feel very lucky to be here! If we come up with something that is a problem I feel like the door is always open. I am always helped to get a better understanding from staff. I don’t know what I would do with out them.

To be comfortable and to feel safe with all the people around taking care of you, I feel Brookdale is a good place for the things. It makes me happy to have my dogs Pumpkin and Murphy with me. The grounds when I look out my window, are filled with beautiful flowers. I enjoy walking in the courtyard with my dogs who love it here also!

I used to be an activities director Back in my day. I enjoy making new friends here and helping the activities director. It’s a convenient location and close to the main stores. If anyone needs assisted living , Brookdale is a great choice.

Overall, it’s a good place to stay. I am fortunate and blessed to be here. Facilities are good. It’s home for me in my physical situation. It’s not far from my kids. Brookdale supplies all I need to keep up my quality of life. I feel like it will extend my life.

Based on our experience at Brookdale San Marcos South, it needs improvement. Lack of attention to maintenance. Lack of activities. Terrible dining experience.

I am a current resident and I feel that the staff and caregivers are friendly, I think the food is really good and the care they provide is good as well. I have enjoyed living here, this community is great.

One of the best San Marcos senior living and Assisted Living and care center around along with https://silvergaterr.com/silvergate-san-marcos/! They take care of the residents with love and passion that makes them feel like family themselves!

My mom lived at Brookdale South for over 5 years and it truly was somewhere she felt loved and valued. She suffered from dementia and the staff were always respectful, caring and understanding. It was a family atmosphere in which she always felt secure. Many of the staff have worked there for over seven years and during the COVID lockdown I never worried about her because I always felt confident that the staff and management there were working hard to keep her as safe as they possibly could, as well as providing protection for visiting family members as society started opening back up.

Staff is very helpful, caring and kind. The food is really good. We have interesting and fun activities, that give us the opportunity to socialize and relax with our friends. Living here is a great experience, and i highly recommend it

I would like to share about my family's experiences with Brookdale San Marcos South thus far. My sister and I had to make the hard decision to move our Dad into assisted living last summer, pretty much against his will. It was difficult. Brookdale made the transition easier for us, even though it was a strange and hard time for our Dad as he lost much of his independence. Currently our Dad is still in Brookdale, but now under hospice care. The care he receives is wonderful. The care he was receiving just as a resident was very good, and they continued to increase his care as his needs are increasing in intensity. Now he is reaching the end of his life, and the hospice care he is receiving is amazing. Between the Director, the nurses, the caregivers, the cleaning crew, the caregivers, the wonderful receptionist and every other employee on campus go out of their way to care for the residents. If you make a decision to place your loved one at Brookdale you will be very happy

The whole staff really care, they make me feel as if I'm their number one priority, they focus on my care If I have any questions or concerns they are addressed immediately! My family, especially my oldest daughter is very satisfied with my care. I love living here!

It was such a blessing that a spot opened up for Mom in this location. The staff welcomed us with open arms. When we walked in on moving day, they had a cute personalized sign welcoming my mom to her new home. The Executive Director was always just a phone call or email away. The Business Coordinator has a heart of gold. She was patient and kind in helping me with the financials. The Concierge is always there with a wonderful smile. I know that I can depend on her for help with mom's appointments and delivering messages. The Programs Coordinator takes care of everything that mom might need for the day-to-day stuff. The dining staff have always been open to suggested food items to make mom feel at home. The doctors/nurses are phenomenal with my mother, who is not always the easiest to deal with! Even the custodians go out of their way to do what they can to make life easier for my mom. And...MY quality of life has improved ten-fold since making Brookdale her home.

Brookdale is a wonderful place to be! We have great neighbors! We have activities that everyone can participate in. Our weekly happy hours are very happy! The entire staff is great You can't find any better

I feel so blessed that [name removed] found us this place of living (Brookdale South) I love the residents like sisters and brothers! Also, the staff are like family!! Our care takers are so sweet and kind like having our own children around. We are truly blessed to be here!

Mom came to Brookdale at a time when she needed some extra help with care and the luxury of not having to worry about meals and housekeeping. She immediately made new friends and enjoyed many of the activities. My son and I celebrated most of the big holidays with them, and enjoyed the festive setting and delicious food that was served. The care that the residents received, from what I could see, was very nice. We had her moved to Silvergate's assisted living san marcos facility due to her worsening Alzheimer's and I will always be grateful and appreciative of how well she was taken care of at both facilities. Thank you!!
