Covered parking and gated community with 24/7 security. Vans available to take you to stores, doctor appointments. Beautiful apartments, 1 and 2 bedrooms. Utilities included. Maintenance repair work is fast.","reviewerDisplayName":"Eddy Lauterback","experienceTypeId":1,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a current/former resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":".","reviewContent":"The staff is very kind and helpful, however short staffed.

There were some minor exceptions that were corrected when I brought them to the attention of Brookdale West University staff. However there is still one work order still pending and is the paint in kitchen/dining cabinet sides doesn’t go down to the carpet.\n\nDinning and food services great. Cleaning services are thorough.\n\nFront desk services are excellent.\n","reviewerDisplayName":"Cherrie Williams ","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"Review for Brookdale West University","reviewContent":"I would tell you that everyone I have met has said only good things....your experience here is your own..... make it your way.... lots of choices for activities....no pressure whatsoever. They take good care of us on all levels. I know they care!","reviewerDisplayName":"BKWS","experienceTypeId":3,"experienceTypeName":"I live or lived in this community"},{"reviewTitle":"My experience","reviewContent":"Meals are ok but I miss having control over salt and sugar intake. The fish is subpar, I only eat it when I arrive at the beginning of the meal, otherwise it is cold and overcooked from sitting in a warmer. Still one of the best points is that HEB is right next door.

And that I would recommend it for anyone concerned about having a safe, secure, comfortable, thriving communal senior environment for their aging parent.","reviewerDisplayName":"Keisha ","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"Brookdale's Many Benefits","reviewContent":"When it comes to value, I would say that if your loved one is someone who takes full advantage of the services Brookdale offers, then it is a great choice. My mom does not take advantage of the exercise classes or the planned trips to local shops like Target and Walmart, outings, even cruises (of course rent doesn't cover cruises, I mean the travel coordination that is done is great).\n\nMy mom is very much to herself and that is okay, 100%, but she is missing out on things that her money is paying for.\n\nLastly, she also cooks most of her own food because she has to be super careful about gluten. She's very gluten sensitive. So the portion of a resident's rent that covers food is wasted if they do not take full advantage of the food provided.\n\nThe benefit of being at Brookdale for my mom has been SAFETY. There is a button in the bathroom of each resident and they must press it by a certain time. It alerts the administration that they are safe and frankly, alive. If they do not press it, someone is coming to their unit to check on them. That has really put my mind at ease.\n\nAnother benefit is that she is surrounded by peers -- people in her same place in life. That is hugely comforting to her. As people age, they unfortunately are maligned by younger folks who don't have a lot of patience with them. So just feels good to live among your peers. \n\nThe other safety aspect is the limited access to the facility. I don't have a large worry about strangers gaining access and harming her.","reviewerDisplayName":"Anonymous","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"}],"parentOrgReview":{"name":"Brookdale","slug":"brookdale-29","averageReviewScoreDisplay":8.7,"communityCount":641,"reviewCount":29326}},"communityName":"Brookdale West University","leadgenCompleted":false}
