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. Th

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.

Our family had an in person tour and we thought it was a great experience, the staff members were wonderful, they were so helpful and very nice. The only reason we did not pick it was because our loved one just needed a little more care then what they could provide .

The staff members executive director and marketing team have all done such an excellent job and have continued to do so. Our loved one does not always participate in the activities but we do know they have plenty to offer for the residents. Based on the experience we have had so far with Brookdale Lake we would recommend the community to other families.

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.

Pleased with our experience
We chose Brookdale Lake Brazos because the fact that he was able to stay where he is and continue his care with his dementia instead of having to move him again. The rooms are a little on the smaller side, but not bad. The location of the facility is great and the staff members here have been very friendly. My dad also loves their food. Overall I would recommend them to others looking.

Some people give you help here some don’t. Some people are rude. For the few that are nice it is ok. The rooms are nice. The activity director is nice. You do lots of activities. The food is usually pretty good. The kitchen people are nice. They have a beautiful river view with shade to sit under. They show favoritism here. Not all rules apply to everyone. If they did it would be a lot better place. Everything is not equal. If you want a nice place to live I would try it

Arrived a bit early. Waited for 20 min. for someone to come, but no one did and the office staff just sat in their office and did not provide help. We decided that this was indicative of the care she would receive. Also, it smelled of urine.

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 Texas 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 Texas regulations for Assisted Living.

A Place for Mom has scored Brookdale Lake Brazos 9 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.
