Brookdale Sikes Lake

This facility has seriously declined in the 10 years since my mother was here. The director and staff are unresponsive to complaints either written or voiced at the rarely held resident/ staff meetings. The food is horrible with very few options available. I seriously doubt that the caloric requirements are being met when the same servings are given to a 90- pound woman and a 250- pound man - 1 /3 cup of each vegetable and a 2- inch square piece of meat. They offer very few community activities, an occasional trip to the Dollar General, and no day- outings. If I were you, I would not contract to obtain clients for them unless and until they address these issues.

There is not much of a "community" feeling that we had at Royal Estates. Nice and clean, but not as welcoming. And they just went up on their prices, too.

Everyone is very nice. The only problem I have is maintenance. I reported a new key for the room was needed and it took weeks to get one, her leaking toilet has been reported and two weeks later it still leaked, they just put a urine catcher under the pipe to catch the water. The room air-conditioning unit filter has needed cleaned since the day she moved in. She is happy there as the food is great and they make sure there is always something she could do.

My family liked the care my dad received from all staff. They were quick to assist him when needed. They were kind and mindful of his specific needs. I would and have recommended Brookdale Sikes Lake to others looking.

Everything mentioned above but mainly because she is happy there. It took a couple of months to adjust. In the third month though, she said she wouldn't go back to her home even if she could....she loves it at Brookdale.

Picked because they accept Medicaid so if he runs out of money he can apply to stay.I probably would have pursued other avenues.

Next to my former home, for 30 years and in Wichita Falls, TX. I couldn't be more happy!

Very well taken care of outsider, inside. Sitting outside and viewing the lake and ducks. Impressed by housekeeping on job. Laundry is well done. Professionally well kept, clean. Staff I give an A plus.

We happier and satisfied to spend our remaining days of life here, where we are well cared for. We feel like we are a part of a family who cares for each other.

staff has been great during my time here

My experience with Brookdale Sikes Lake was great and [name removed] liked the food and said that he had no complaints. I would recommend to other families.

Staff is great, my family member doesn't complain about the food so think it's good, I think the location is beautiful but in my opinion the accommodations are only fair to good, especially compared to the cost.

The staff members were very friendly and we appreciated they encouraged our loved one to get involved when it came to the activities. They could improve on some amenities and their fire safety and help buttons.

What stood out most to me about Brookdale Sikes Lake was the kindness with which the staff treated my Dad. I know he felt safe and loved during his stay.

Brookdale Sikes Lake is a very welcoming community, and even though it is expensive - with the care they are able to provide it is worth it. They have been extremely helpful to our family so far, and our deciding factor was just the amount of advanced care they are able to provide for residents with dementia and Alzheimer's

We're very pleased. I find the nursing staff to be very professional. The business staff is also very professional and friendly. I believe that it's a safe and good place to put a loved one.

It is a very nice place. We chose this community because my sister had two dogs, and Brookdale would allow them. We also liked that the location was close to our family. The holiday meals were excellent and we really appreciated the food there. The caregivers were okay but there weren't them and they were understaffed, The office staff went above and beyond to help my sister with her dogs. I would recommend this community to other families.
