Brookdale is one of the name we got when we call "A Place for Mom". My mom's apartment is in the Independent Living area. The staff is great! Very thoughtful and kind. We are very happy with Brookdale.

Some things good, others not so good
My mom says the food is really bad, entertainment is boring, and carpets, fake plants in the common areas are dirty/dusty. They changed the policy on when you can pick up food to take back to your apartment to eat, which is very limiting. There is a very limited laundry facility.

Our experience
A 5 on all my mother in law loves everything she's very happy there thank you. What we like the most about the community is that my mother in law loves all the activities available if she wants to do them and just having people around to visit with. Yes, we would recommend Brookdale Sunwest Independent Living to other families based on the experience so far.

Review for Brookdale Sunwest Independent Living
Food is very good, lots of variety. Residents are very friendly and welcoming. Our villa, a duplex of 1305 sq fr, is roomy and comfortable with a beautiful back area, appearance-wise the mature trees everywhere add great appeal.

Great place
This is a great place if you are still independent. The residents seemed cheerful which is a big plus. Lots of freedom and activities. Apartments from what I've seen are large, but they also rent entire houses so they have some choices.

My Experience
I was previously a resident at Brookdale Sunwest Independent Living. This facility was not really as portrayed. The food is never hot. The activities were not appealing to me, there is nothing with any intellectual appeal. The landscaping is nice. The people are mostly resigned to their fate. Also, it would be nice if there was some sort of medical help available.

The facility is well maintained, through the grounds need some work. The staff says they will do something, but then it doesn't get done, or the person who is supposed to have information doesn't have it. The staff is friendly, but don't really promote activities where the new people get to know the ones who've been there awhile. The meals just have the flavor of mass produced meals, and are sometimes cold or lukewarm.
