About the facility
Brookdale Northshore

Tucked away in a quiet and serene neighborhood, Brookdale Northshore provides a vibrant independent living experience you can look forward to. Here, residents can fully embrace hassle-free living since the team manages the meals, housekeeping, home maintenance, lawn care, and other time-consuming chores. Plus, assistance with transportation can be provided if you prefer not to drive.

Best of all, the staff is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to be alerted to an emergency situation, and a security alert system is also in use to offer additional peace of mind. To provide residents with even more convenience, a general store, guest suite, and postal services are available on-site to use. Meals are served restaurant-style in the private dining room, and residents can choose from seasonal menus which include fresh, local ingredients. While you pack up your old cooking and cleaning supplies, you can enjoy peaceful days in the library or cozy living room, or have some fun in the arts and crafts studio and the game room. Lastly, the community is close to the Fred Jones Sanctuary — a botanically rich, protected area for bird watching — as well as Indian Point Fishing Park and Pier, and the...

Needs Some Improvements
The staff are very friendly and will try to help whenever a request is made. Sadly the Corporation is raising rates so it is very very difficult to keep families members here and not moving them around constantly in the late years of life. The Galloway carpets need replaced, which is also on Corporate. The biggest thing is the cottages are not handicap accessible to the main building, which I would think is not legal, but again it has been brought up numerous times, but local staff hands are tied because Corporate does not allocate them enough money. Yet Corporate has no problem raising rent every year and it is usually by hundreds a month. The rates go up but there is no exercise pool, no holiday barbecues and if they have a cold trip you will have to come up with the money for that as well. Sadly, I would suggest looking right across the bridge in Corpus, where you will get more bang for your buck. As for my family we have all aged and are unable to move our loved one physically.

Very good, with room for improvement, as is the case with many places.
I would say Brookdale Northshore is a very good place, with room for improvement, as is the case with many places. I appreciate the available services and regular contact with others. Location is very good. Portland is still a place that is easy to get around and has stores, etc. to meet your needs. And the beach is close with some lesser known within blocks. I would recommend Northshore Brookdale. Value for the cost is reasonable until you factor in the meals. A great deal of the time food is served cold. Brookdale is chronically short handed in proving dining services to the table. Variety is limited. The wait staff, however, is pleasant and attempts to meet residents' needs within parameters set by administrative staff. I appreciate the socializing activities, but again activities show limited variety. Overall, my score would be 4 with areas of improvement that may be coming due to increased specialized staff (dietitian) and increased communication meetings. I have no desire to move and appreciate the socialization, activities, transportation assistance, and regular meals.

Good Experience
I would recommend you look at the community to see if this would be a good fit for your loved one. There were times that my loved one's backyard would flood due to an open sewer line. My loved one enjoyed the food. The staff were good to work with if there were any questions or concerns.

need more capable maintenance workers
At Brookdale Northshore friendliness is 5+. I've been real happy with the way mom has felt welcome by everyone. The staff are so friendly. What I would change is they have one guy that does good at maintenance. The other maintenance worker is not so good. Marv is trying to do it all and he cant keep up. He does a great job and is always trying so hard. They just need more capable maintenance workers. Other than that she loves this facility. She is happy. Mom said the perfect words just this weekend, "I feel like I'm home."

Workers let my mother lie on the floor for over 30 hours without checking on her. Her friends kept telling the desk that they hadn't seen her. No one checked until a different person came on the desk the next day. She had had a stroke and of course we know time is of the essence. Not for my mother thanks to Carriage Inn.

A true community
My grandmother has lived at this community for years now. It's the cleanest and friendliest property in the area. Any question or issue we have is addressed with urgency. There is ALWAYS someone available to help. The director makes sure you have her cell phone number upon move in in the unlikely event that you have a question or problem that you need her to address immediately. The liveliness of the community is evident upon arrival. I agree that they are not the newest, but they are defiantly the BEST.

This is the one I would most enjoy living myself. I like the private patio areas, and not too many scooters in the hallways like there were at other places. This location is also most convenient for me. It doesn't have assisted living, and that may be a plus because there seems to be less regulation in an independent only place.

A Place for Mom has scored Brookdale Northshore 8.6 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.
