Review for Brookdale College Parkway

Staff is great. Plenty of activities. Apartment size is great. The facilities are clean. There is always a variety of options for meals but the food isn't very appealing. Some strange combinations. Not sure where the recipes come from but strange mixes such as baked chicken breasts with a heavy coating of yellow mustard or extremely overcooked macaroni with processed cheese that was cooked until it separated. It was like wallpaper paste. The meats are usually overcooked & dry. Crazy use of spices. Baked sweet potatoes are usually cooked until they are burned & bitter.

Highly recommended

So far I would rate every aspect a 5. The staff has been patient & helpful during my move. Things in the apartment have all been refreshed or replaced with new. The staff & residents are very friendly. The level of care toward my well-being has been great. I'm enjoying the food & the variety of choices. There is no lack for activities & once I'm more settled I hope to enjoy more of them. Value wise; it's proving less expensive than being in my own home.

Excellent facility with warm common areas. Rooms are spacious and very well designed. Food was very good and social offerings were plentiful. Only concern was there is independent living, but no onsite assisted living or memory care. Planning for the future and don’t want to make more moves.

Our experience at Brookdale in Ft. Myers, FL,

I would give a 5 to 1 - 7, and a 5 for value as long as the prospective tenants are Veterans. Brookdale is pro-military, and gives a good discount for veterans. So far we are thoroughly enjoying being here. It's almost like immediately being among old friends.

Independent Brookdale at College Parkway feels like home!

5+. The staff here is phenomenal (seriously!), food is great, love the dining experience especially seated with different residents so we get to know our neighbors, abundant and varied activities, and informative classes. It's the special little social gatherings that enhance our desire to stay here!

While they claimed the turnover of staff was minimal, it actually appears to be standard to others in the industry. There appears to be true empathy and care exhibited by all forms of staff, from Maintenance to leadership

Outstanding facility

This facility is by far the best one we have visited. Mom liked it so much that she moved in and has not been disappointed. Staff is extremely helpful and always friendly. Mom is living in independent Living however I would almost consider it assisted because the staff does so much for her. They clean her apartment once a week, do her laundry, and they cook three meals a day in the dining hall that she is welcome to go to. There is also on site medical staff 24 hours a day that is only a call Button away. She loves involving herself with the many activities that are available there as well. And all this a much better price than any of the other places we toured.
