I toured Brookdale University Park Alabama. The staff was very friendly. The residents seemed very happy, and the services seemed very good. I did not taste the food, but the menu looked good. Their breakfast was like scrambled eggs and bacon. Lunch was grilled chicken. The room sizes were good.

I visited Brookdale University Park Alabama. Amy, my tour guide, was very nice and very knowledgeable. She was just as helpful as she could be. She followed up with things. The residents seemed to like her very much. I really couldn't say enough good things about her. The residents there were very kind in letting us tour their apartments. I liked the facility, and I liked the location. It had a place where I could park my car. They had a nice library. Right at the moment, they were having a problem because they had some pipes that burst during that hard freeze that we had. So they were certainly tearing down to the basics to get it all repaired. I didn't see the facility at its best. But at the same time, I saw that they were keeping up with the maintenance. I wish they had more flower gardens or places where you could grow things.

Brookdale University Park was very nice; it was just expensive. The staff was great. They informed us, and they were lots of fun. The room was nice. It was a 2-bedroom, and that's what we're interested in. I would have chosen it, except for it's too far from my current community. I wanted to stay around this area. They had a media room. We saw the dining room. We saw a library and the physical therapy room. We saw other things too, but I can't remember because it's been a while. It was very nice, and everywhere we went was clean.

I like Brookdale University Park very much. I like the public relations director. She was wonderful. I went with another friend, and she made us very at home and I like that. They were very upfront about everything and about the pricing. We looked at several different room styles. I think it is a lovely place. There is one thing that holds me back and that is that the bathrooms. They are not modern at all, and they are not desirable. They don't have any vanities, they're not pretty, and they're just blah. I just really did not like the bathrooms. Other than that, I thought it's a lovely place.

Brookdale University Park was very nice. The staff was very nice. The kitchen was kind of small. They were cheaper than some and higher than others.

Brookdale University Park is a really nice place and people were very friendly. It's in a great location too, but it's very expensive and almost unaffordable for the average family. The rooms were also pretty nice and have a full kitchen with a refrigerator.

Mom has an apartment at Brookdale University with a kitchen, bedroom, and living room. They have two meals a day that they provide and housekeeping service once a week. The food is good. My mom likes it. We've had a good experience so far.
