Improvements needed

Having your own room is good. The time it takes for care givers to get to my mom is awful. Sometimes it takes 30 minutes to an hour for them to get to her to take her to the bathroom and it could take that long for them to come back after they left her on the toilet. So my mom is sitting on the toilet for 30 minutes to an hour after she is done going to the bathroom

Some positive experiences, some room for Improvement.

Positives are mostly friendly staff, facilities, room, activities Negatives are FOOD, don't do a good job of getting new guests integrated & making friends, not reliably timely in guest follow up / care (my mom called for assistance when she had fallen very ill and they never showed up).

Friendly staff

Only my mother has moved in as my father is in the hospital. She has only been there 10 days and has declined to leave the room. Everyone there has been helpful, and they have tried to make the move as comfortable as possible for my mom. I would rate the people at a 4 or 5. I don't have a basis for rating any activities as my mother has declined to participate. She indicated that the food is good, but she has not eaten much in her time there.

Brookdale Uptown Whittier

always smiles & helpful. they always find me for my meds. The nurse is very helpful & follows up. dinner time is too early for me by ~ 2 hrs. Lunch is my only meal and is fine but I make a snack in the evening. My wife and I had a special menu we followed but that would be VERY DIFFICULT for the kitchen to follow, so I would have to cook all my own meals. At least the menu gives choices. Once in a while I fix my own meal to follow my preferences. The staff at meals are excellent.

If you are looking for a community for a family member who doesn't want the feel of a facility, this is the community! It has such a great feel from the moment you walk in... everyone is warm and welcoming. It feels like an apartment building, with all the amenities! I have been to several Brookdale communities, and they were all very reasonably priced. It seems that you can be independent living here, or someone who needs assistance. They do have 24/7 caregiving and nurses on staff. If you are looking at options, this is a hidden gem in Uptown Whittier.

Brookdale Uptown Whittier delivers in all areas of amenities and services. Unexpectedly but most welcoming is that it has become an extended family for both [name removed] and me. The staff, the residents and even 3rd party caregivers CARE for each other. From the bottom of our hearts- Thank you!

Lovely place for mostly independent seniors

The staff was very supportive and encouraging when we first met. After applying, my relative was able to move in very quickly. But we had to remind them of several things that needed fixing. I think they need more help. When I accidentally pushed the button for assistance, someone came quickly. But later when my relative needed help and pushed the call button on her pendant, it was a long wait before someone came. I think this is a good place for independent senior living. It is beautiful, clean, peaceful and orderly. Be aware of the cost. There is a basic fee, but with every extra service there is an added fee. It could cost a lot more than you thought at first

Brookdale Uptown Whittier is a great place, I actually liked it the most. It is in a great location next to restaurants and shopping. The downfall for us was that it is a much larger facility than the one in Central Whittier. The rooms were far away from the dining room. My loved one uses a walker and I just thought it would be harder to get around.

Great fit for mom

Our first impression of Brookdale Uptown Whittier was great. From the minute we walked in I paid attention and all the residents looked content and happy, the staff were super friendly, and the prices were very reasonable compared to some of the other places we looked into. There are tons of activities provided, for example they have happy hours on Wednesday which my mom loves; someone comes in and plays an instrument and takes requests. They have arts and crafts classes and they display what they make in the front for everyone to see. They have matinee and movie nights as well. I would absolutely recommend Brookdale to others looking.

Satisfied with our Choice

We've been very satisfied with them. They come in several times a day to check on my loved ones and are very attentive. My mother fell and hit her head, and they were there in a minute or so. They were very quick to respond to an emergency and took care of everything very well. I was impressed with how they handled it. I think they take good care of the residents, and I've been happy with all aspects.

Safe place for your loved one!

The other residents at Brookdale Uptown seem to be happy there. The rooms are nice, however the food would have to be their weakest point. Our loved ones do not really care for the food. They do seem to be very safety conscious during the pandemic.

Uptown Whittier Brookdale

This is a very reasonably priced facility. The one bedroom apartment that my mom has includes a kitchenette, balcony, great size bedroom with walk-in closet. Her balcony has room for two chairs. I’m very happy with this location. My only suggestion would be to try to get the residents more involved with Activities even if they show no interest. I do recommend Uptown Whittier!

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:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and 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 you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the California regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections 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 community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about California regulations for Assisted Living.
