Senior Living Apartments in Stomp Springs, SC

They have lots of activities going and we've joined a couple of them but we're not people that go to everything. I guess the management is only here two and a half days a week and in that, its usually only one and a half days. The maintenence, in my mind, is questionable in that it seems to take a long time for stuff to get done unless you pound them. The other thing is, we've lived in an apartment before, years ago, and they fixed things now, not "later" or "in a week." Here, it seems like the painting in the hallways they need to touch up, we've been here for several months and it's still not done. I don't know if they don't see it or if they don't care but personally, I feel they could do better. It's where you just live with it and hope someone gets a kick in the pants sometime. I do think it's a good place, once of the nice things is that there's an elevator and at our age we don't do stairs.

My experience with Brookdale is positive. It is much more important than I initially realized to carefully match the capabilities of the prospective resident to the level of care the facility offers.

I like that an RN is on staff here 5 days a week. We've had good reports that the food is good. It is now updated and is bright and comfortable in the common areas. The staff is nice, easy to talk to, and helpful. My parents were taken to see Christmas lights (which they enjoyed). Bingo is a regular activity, which my Mom plays. Housekeeping is provided. My Mom says that it is not done in her room as well as she thinks that it should be. My Mom's house was never dirty and was always "picked up". I do think that this has gotten better. I would recommend this facility to family and friends. I actually have already, some of my parent's friends have recently moved here from another facility.
