My mother moved into Brookdale Palm Beach Gardens. The first thing that sent me there was that she had a friend there already. So that was the piece of it that she knew someone when she got there. And it was just close to all her friends, and her church, and it offered everything that we needed for her. There have been a few glitches, but nothing serious. The staff is very caring. We had lunch there, and it was good. They have bingo. They have fitness classes. They have card games and games they offer, entertainment. It's pretty varied. Everything's included. They have a refrigerator, stove, microwave, and dishwasher.

Brookdale Palm Beach Gardens is very nice and I'm trying to get in there myself. My two aunts live there and I have nothing but good things to say about it, from their food to the place. The rooms are beautiful. They have a 2-bedroom apartment with a terrace and its adorable. I had dinner there with my aunts and the food was very good. They have a beautiful big library. The place is well kept and clean. The staff is very nice. The activities are very nice. They have dancing, entertainment, and they have both Jewish and religious gatherings. They cover everything.

My mom was a resident of Brookdale Palm Beach Gardens for many years and our experience was great. The people were very nice, but the price was expensive. When she first moved there, it was called Prosperity Oaks, and then Brookdale took over and we started to see changes. We've always had the same help on the floor, the same women, same nurses, med-techs, and then that all went apart. They switched everyone around, so the girls don't know where they're working. They don't like that either, because they liked to know the people or their patients. Other than that, it seemed like it wasn't the same place. My mom started at $3,300 to $3,400 a month, so I guess you could say that it went up about a hundred bucks a month per year. They had great activities, so when my mom first went there she was very active. They had a beautiful pool, water aerobics and all kinds of stuff going on. There's a lot of dancing, night-time stuff, and so on. They're busy there 24/7. When my mom was in independent, she had a one-bedroom apartment with a living room and a kitchen, and a porch. Then when she went to assisted, it was just a studio with a bathroom.

I like the location and services of Brookdale Palm Beach Gardens, they seem to have a really nice operation going. We had a meal there, but the food wasn't the greatest. They discussed their calendar of events, and they did have a lot of activities.

My husband has been at this place for a month now. In this time I have been met everyday with comments from staff about how much work my husband is, He is in a wheelchair and needs help with bathing, dressing getting up and out of bed or chair. My husband is a giloblastoma brain cancer patient who now has radiation damage that has compromised his cognitive thinking, He now has dementia/alzheimers behavior and at times can be uncooperative. He is also a fall risk. Last week he fell and cracked a couple ribs. He was sent back to Brookdale with a prescription for pain. 4 days later he still had not received his pain medication. When the staff tried to make him get up for the day he became angry as they were hurting him. He requested to be left alone but staff continued to make him get up and he kicked out at them. Now the staff doesn't want to help him at all, The memory care staff are now rude to me and my children when we visit. I am so worried for my husband and are now trying to find a loving and caring place for him. This is what I get for $7,000.00 a month!

Brookdale Palm Beach Gardens looked very clean, comfortable, and nicely appointed. The staff was friendly. The grounds were nice, and they had a gardening club. Some of the other activities included music events and movies. The problem was, they didn't have enough transportation for the residents to be able to go across the street to the mall or restaurant. You can go only at 10 in the morning once a day and there was no other schedule.

Mom has been staying at Brookdale Palm Beach Gardens for two months now. The place is very good. Mom goes down from her room once in a while to play bingo or listen to the music. She's served breakfast and dinner, and they have a bus to take the residents to their doctors' appointments. Overall, the place is very efficient.

Brookdale Palm Beach Gardens is a large community, but the apartments were on the smaller side. It was more than three stories tall, and there were activities going on like card games. The facility club house was nice. I probably would recommend it.

When we visited Brookdale Palm Beach Gardens, it was just starting its renovation. It took them a good year to finally get it totally renovated, and they did contact me numerous times to come in, have lunch again, sit and talk, and see that the place had been renovated. I never got back in to do that. I saw their plans for the renovation; they were really nice. It seemed that it was going to look good, but I never really get back there. I had lunch there, and the food was fine.

We went to Brookdale. The people were very nice, and it seemed to be well run. We didn’t feel the place was for our mom, but it seemed fine. They had bingo. We spoke to people who seemed to like it.

Brookdale Palm Beach Gardens was my second choice, though the memory care section was probably the best of all the locations. I thought they have a great, very well organized programs that were easy for guests to come in and relate to all the people. They have a shadow box in front of each individual resident’s quarters which tells their life story and gives people an opportunity to immediately make conversations and talk to people, which I really liked. They have all types of transportation there, like a limousine as well as a bus that will get you to the doctor and back. There’s one large restaurant downstairs and a small restaurant on every floor at the end of the hall where the residents can go rather than having to go all the way down to the main restaurant below.

I visited Brookdale, but ruled it out all together because of the apartment. The location was very good, but the kitchen in the apartment was an abomination. The apartment I would rate a two. The staff was fine. I observed a lot of people playing cards, and there was entertainment in the lobby. It was before Christmas. Beautifully decorated lobby for the holidays. I’d give them a four. The only problem was the kitchen.

I think Brookdale Palm Beach Gardens is excellent. The food looks good, and my mother says it tastes good. She makes some friends there, including another couple from our church. That is nice to know. She is gradually getting acclimated to it. The room is fine and affordable. I will recommend them.

Dealing with the managment of this facility is a one way conversation. Everythng is promised and nothing is done. I would never use this facility.

Brookdale Palm Beach Gardens was too high rise for me. I know the lobby floor was redone. Downstairs was nice; it was just a little busy for me. I thought the person that spoke to us was very friendly. We saw the dogs and cats.
They were having like a synonym question where people were sitting in the lobby and they were trying to get them to answer questions. It seemed like it was very stimulating. They have plenty of activities. They do exercise in chairs; they have water aerobics. We would take advantage of the walking, the pool, and the water aerobics for me especially.

Brookdale Palm Beach Gardens was right off PGA, and it was near shopping areas. It was a very beautiful place. It was actually a 5 or 6 story building, and also on the property separate from them was a rehab center and a nursing home. So, it was handy if somebody needed more care of if somebody broke their legs.
When you went it, it was beautiful. On the right hand side was a kind of a nice medium size pond with birds, ducks, and all kind of things with a place to sit, and it was only 200 or 300 feet from the main entrance of the building. The thing that I liked was that the first floor was kind of an open space, but there were activities on the first floor like card games. Each of the floor, you had assisted living, independent living, and memory care. I thought the people from the assisted living and independent living people could go up and down on the elevator on their own; obviously, the memory care was a locked unit. From what I could remember, the independent level had various types of independent style apartments. They had small apartments for one person or for two people. The thing that I liked was that Brookdale was throughout the country, and they knew their stuff. I felt that the structure of the organization was really good and solid.
Outside was a nice outdoor pool. If you came to visit and you would want to go in the water with your family member, you could do that. It was a park like setting in the sense that there were lots of trees. It was a beautiful setting. I thought it was an expensive thing to do. Also, what I liked was that they had activities for memory care. That's what my mother needed right now, and they had it there, if needed. The facilities were nice and pleasant. It sort of reminded you of a very nice place to walk into, and there were chairs outside. I just found it to be a very inviting place.

The visit was nice, and there was construction going on. Everything was nice, but it was not what we're looking for. The rooms were spacious enough.

Brookdale is working well, and everybody is quite helpful. It helps that I was the architect for the building about 30 years ago. I'm getting better service perhaps than some might, but I don't know that for a fact. It is a little bit of a unique situation. All of the things were taken care of from the move in like repainted and fixtures replaced. I'm pleased so far. Everybody has been fine, and I'm enjoying the feedback. The care level is at least what I expected if not more, so I'm quite pleased overall. My mother actually thinks the food is quite good. They are caring people, and they are actually interested. It is working out for me at this point.

My mother-in-law was in the independent living first at Palm Beach Gardens and then assisted living. The staff was accommodating and professional; I had a pretty decent experience there. They have a swimming pool, exercise rooms, card rooms, and a library, and they get three meals a day. It’s really comprehensive; everything is taken care of.

Prosperity Oaks was way overpriced, and in their assisted living, you still have to go down to the main clubhouse to get your food. The thing that I didn't like was one-half of the building was independent living and assisted living, and then its other side was full assisted living where they had to come and get you and take you to your meals or bring your meals or whatever. It was kind of like a glorified nursing home that was all in the same building. The rooms were OK. The staff members were fine, but they were a little pushy.

I live very close at Prosperity Oaks, but I didn’t like all the old people in wheelchairs that were sitting around. The place was nice, the staff showed me around the facility, and showed me what would be my place to live -- which I didn’t like. The room was small, spare, and I decided at that point that this kind of living was not for me.

Caring at Prosperity Oaks is fine. The service is good sometimes and not so good at other times. Some staff members are better than others, but as a whole, they are very good. We have an apartment, and it is very nice. The dining area is very pretty, and the food is basically all right. We are very comfortable living in here, and we've made friends.

We visited Prosperity Oaks. The rooms were very tiny, but we were pretty happy with the whole facility, especially for the assisted living. I like it because it's close to me. Several people from my condo have moved there from here, and they are happy there. I also have a friend, and she loves it there.

My mother chose Prosperity Oaks and is currently working on it right now. Mom likes the layout and the fact that it kind of felt like a hotel and the apartments are fairly roomy. This seemed homey and more open. When we visited, the staff was very accommodating and very friendly. Their dining area seemed nice, and they have variety.

Prosperity Oaks is a very nice place, and I really like the location because it's close to where we live. I have good things to say about this facility, and I would have put my father-in-law here if he would just be cooperative. The facility is very clean, and people seemed to be enjoying themselves.

My sister had a hip replacement and was placed in Prosperity Oaks for recovery. I thought it was a nice and clean facility. It looked pretty well organized. The staff had a good idea of what they were doing. They were sympathetic and they made sure we were comfortable. They take good care of my sister.
Her room was nice, clean and spacious. It was a pretty nice, large room. It had plenty of places to sit. My sister liked the food there. She didn't have any complaints.
They have sign up boards for different activities that they have. The activities are scheduled for the week. I like their nice walking path outside. It's good for the residents to walk and stroll.
Overall it is a good community environment for older people to get together and know each other. Everybody was pleasant.

The only one issue with Prosperity Oaks is that the rooms are way too small. Other than that, it's close to perfect it could have gotten. They had customized care plan, it was a nice layout, and the staff was very friendly. They have a very full schedule of activities. It looks like a nice place to me. It was an older facility, but I know they had talked about upgrading.

I like Prosperity Oaks because it's very close to me about 8 minutes away. It’s a beautiful facility. If dad is there, he could bring in his dog. He would have a screen porch, a bedroom, a bathroom, a full kitchen with everything; living and dining area altogether. I love the pricing of it. If he needs more care, you just pay additional amount of money. The staff who gave me the tour was great and very helpful. The facility was just outstanding. It stands apart from anything else.

My mother lived in Prosperity Oaks before she passed away. She stayed there for 10 days. It was excellent for the little bit that she was there. Everybody was very sweet to her. The staff was just fantastic. They knew that she was in distress and they really looked after her with special care.
We picked out this facility because of the location and it was a beautiful place. It was just a mile away from my mother's youngest grandson and an hour and a half from me and her oldest grandson so we were there every day. Mother had a screen and porch and she liked to stay there. She had a nice-sized bedroom and she had her own furniture. There was a kitchen, a bath, and a nice door hallway. The main bathroom had a shower and a tub. It was quite luxurious but of course you paid for what you got. She had two levels of care and it ended up approximately $5200 a month.
They had a chef so they served gourmet food. You couldn't get the same quality for the price. They only charged $11 extra for my sister and I to eat there. They had a dining room on each floor. There was also a main dining room which was a little fancier, where you couldn't wear shorts or jeans or anything like that. Too bad my mother never got well enough to go down there.

Prosperity Oaks is in a lovely area. This facility is probably a choice that I would consider. They have programs come in for their residents in terms of activities. However, their staff is not as outgoing as I wanted them to be. Apparently, there is a turnover of the staff there and to me that means they're not happy. They also have Spanish-speaking workers that primarily have not much to do with their guests. Nevertheless, this facility should have an English class for them.

I liked the Prosperity Oaks. I looked at their rooms and walked around the facility. I saw that they had a library and different things available. I liked that they have assisted living and when you needed more care, then there's a memory care within the same place.

We already chose one assisted living and he is at Prosperity Oaks. We chose it partly because I like the looks of it, but that wasn't only the major factor. I liked it because of the fact that they have a plan according to my long term health care policy. We had to have a nurse that we can call all night and that meant something to me. He has three lovely rooms and he has a small balcony. They have two dining rooms, one on the floor for assisted living and a large one downstairs and he can go either one and they have excellent food. I would exceedingly recommend this place. When hurricane Isaac came a few years back, they evidently had damage and they were able to renovate the lace and it was even lovelier. They have a concierge downstairs and we just call and ask whatever you want to ask and they feed you to the right people. It is extremely well done. I am very happy that they knock themselves out to please people. Every two hours they do observe people and that is important for assisted living.

Prosperity Oaks is a great place. This place looks like a hotel. It had independent living, memory care unit, and assisted living. It's a nice facility although we had encountered some billing problems there like mom's telephone got disconnected and we never got the bill to our house. They give the residents three meals a day and the food was good. They clean their room and do their laundry once a week. They have activities. When I visited my mom in there, there was a lot of stuff going on. They had a World War II celebration.

I didn't like Prosperity Oaks. It was huge for my father. Maybe the ones who start out there are much more independent and would be familiar with it, and then afterwards if they get older or more handicap in certain ways, they already know their way around.

Prosperity Oaks is close to where I live. It's been very popular and it seems like it's a nice place. I toured and it look good. The staff is very friendly. They seem to take care of the people. I get mixed reviews about the food, but most people like it. They have a lot of activities going on, a calendar of things going throughout the day. They treat the people really nice. They have parties, music and dancing every night.

Driving up to the facility through the palms gave you the feeling of going to a nice place, not a hospital atmosphere. I felt my parents were going to a respectable home. There were so many activities, personal services and dancing events that the people there all seemed happy. I was impressed with how the caretakers and medical personnel worked together. There place was comfy and roomy enough. They need a new elevator company though.

This is a nice somewhat older facility. It is fairly well maintained. They have recently renovated the elevators and seem to work hard to improve the physical building. The staff is very courteous and the activities and numerous and varied. The food is somewhat uneven in quality. The soups and salad are good the meat entrees are sometimes mediocre. The 1 bedroom 1.5 bathroom apartments are spacious and have a lovely design of the living space. It is also nice to have the extra half bath.

My mother lived at prosperity oaks for 3 years and we both were very pleased. the building has both independent and assisted living which worked well for her. She could live on an assisted living hall for extra help, but still enjoy the company and facilities that was offered for the people that lived on the independent halls . She was very smart and had a sweet , fun, kind personality. She enjoyed the lovely dining room for dinners and conversations with friends. She enjoyed the exercise programs in the morning as well as bingo, trivia games,bridge games, and evening entertainment. Her favorite was the weekly butterfly club. The place was pretty and well kept.
