We moved my mother into Brookdale Lake Brazos 4 months ago and she absolutely loves her new lease on life. She has made friends, goes on outings, works in the raised plant and flower beds. We have to schedule time to see her as her calendar is full. Staff have been so sweet to mom and us. So glad we chose the perfect fit for her.

Good Experience
1.Overall experience – Mom moved in [date removed] and has adjusted well with the help of administration/staff/community. 2.Cleanliness of the facility – I visit Mom regularly, the facility is always clean. 3.Friendliness - Admin/Staff have been fantastic with Mom. Always friendly to me as well. 4.Quality of care – Whenever Mom needs anything, it is taken care of. 5.Administrative staff – Always a phone call away when we need any assistance. 6.Food – This is the one area Mom doesn’t always care for. She always loves the breakfast meal. 7.Activities – There seems to be a variety of different things to do. They bring in great music events. 8.Value for the money – I will always think the system is broken when it comes to finding an alternate place for Mom. It is very expensive no matter what you do. This is not one of the shiny new pennies in town, but it is well kept and clean and the admin/staff/personal care have been great.

Brookdale on the Brazos
I moved my husband into the Brookdale in July. We can’t say enough good about it. The care is wonderful. The people that work there, are amazing. They treat the patients as family. They are very kind and respectful to them. They have three balanced meals a day. The foot is really good. They have a great cook. The rooms are like small apartments. Living room, large bedroom. large walk in closet, another regular sized closet and nice size bathroom. They are very comfortable to spend time with your loved one. They have different projects going to keep them active . They take them on bus trips to different places. Zoo, museums, or out to lunch. It’s really amazing how many wonderful things they do to keep them motivated. They have a full time nurse there that takes care of all the meds and works hand in hand with their doctors. I found this place through my daughter in law. Her father lived there for Five years and was so happy. We love it so much. And would totally recommend it.

My mom was a handful.
I absolutely loved the facility. It had everything mom needed. The staff was very helpful and accommodating upon mother's move in and move out. The meals were well made and I especially enjoyed the dinning area. Mother had plenty of activities to keep her busy. For the most part my mother was very healthy and very active but she did have Dementia. The staff did their very best to accommodate mother once we found out that she needed constant care in a Memory Loss facility.

Review for Brookdale Lake Brazos
I am very impressed with Brookdale Lake Brazos and their services. Also, I am very pleased with the facility and the staff. They are all compassionate and caring from the administrators, to the nurse, to everyone working in the dining room. One of the things that my mother and I noticed on our initial visit was that the residents were so happy and friendly. They loved being there as does my mother now.

Good as We Can Do
The community is understaffed currently. The major responsibilities rely on two staff members, it seems they need more upper level management. The activities in the memory care seem to be more about sitting in a room with a tv. Since my loved ones have been here they haven't had a memory care director.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know Texas’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about Texas’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

Frequently Asked Questions
about Brookdale Lake Brazos

Brookdale Lake Brazos offers Studio, 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored Brookdale Lake Brazos 9.7 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
