Brookdale Gables Farmington was a great location. I looked at a two-bedroom, one-bath apartment that had a small stove but no dishwasher. You also had to do your own cable. They provide you with two meals though (dinner plus one other meal) and if you want guests to stay, it costs $100 a day to rent a suite for them if it was available. The grounds were beautiful. The facility was gorgeous. It's almost like walking into a vacation resort, but expensive.
The people that I spoke with were lovely. However, they would not come to the tables and take an order for you. You had to go through a line. It was cafeteria style, which I did not like. Almost everyone that I saw there was using a rollator or a walker. They would assist you with getting your stuff to the table if you needed help, but you still had to go through the line and get your food now. I think these few things that I didn't like are not big problems for others. It's just my personal choice.

I am moving to Brookdale Gables Farmington because I like the setting of it. As far as the facility itself and the people I met, it is very good.
The staff members were very polite. They answered all my questions, and they didn't rush me. I tried the food, and it was good.
It seems like they have just about everything you could need. It is a beautiful property. They have a hairdresser. They have physical therapy if you need it, and there is gym equipment. There are beautiful grounds to walk.

I went to Brookdale Gables Farmington. I probably like having the meals prepared for you. They do all the cooking. The rooms were nice. I looked at a one-bedroom apartment, but I have a single-family home and I'm just not ready to move into an apartment. It was very neat, and it wasn't cluttered, so I had a good impression of it. However, you don't have your furniture there, so you don't know what's going on. I don't know some of the rules there. Like can you have guests? Can you have parties? Can you have a home theater? There's a lot of stuff they don't tell you about. The staff who gave me the tour was very nice. They had a health fair at the time I went, and that was very helpful because I got some information from a health care agency. Like if you need temporary health care after a surgery or something like that for rehab, so I get a lot of information from them. The dining area was fine. It was cozy and spacious. You had your round tables, so you could socialize with all the other residents. The area is very scenic. There's a pond there and it is in the forest. They will provide transportation to a doctor's appointment, and on occasions, they have bus trips.

My grandmother has just signed the paperwork at Brookdale Gables Farmington. I basically like that the room has a full kitchen with a stove and an oven. No other place that we looked at has that, so that was basically what had her go in, because she likes to cook still. The place is big and clean. It's classic décor. They have very nice people. Everybody was very nice. It has a nice view of the lake. They have a beauty and barber salon, there's a gym, there are card games and happy hour, and they do allow small pets.

We like the amenities and the actual apartments that Brookdale Farmington had to offer. The meal plans were included in the monthly rent. The apartments were very spacious. They have multiple activities that the residents can partake in on and off the property. They had different classes that they could partake in as well. They had transportation and you didn't have to pay an additional fee.

Brookdale Farmington was quiet and I didn't see anybody everywhere. The staff showed off two units. I didn't like the two units because they were small, but it's a nice area and a nice environment. It was a quick visit.

Brookdale Farmington was really wonderful. The person I spoke with was very helpful. She took all the time I needed to find out what I needed to know. She talked about my father as if what he needed was more important than what the company needed. I really liked that. The size of the room would be perfect for my father, who is a single male. The layout was convenient. The studio apartment they showed me was pretty much an open space. They had a specific area for a bed with a call bell rope on it. Other than that, you can probably put anything you want in there, so that's nice. There was a kitchen in there that my father could use if he wanted to, but he wouldn't need to because the dining area offers three meals a day. The bathroom was remodeled, which was very nice. He had a look-out advantage point from his window to the lake that is outside the community. It would have been a nice, calming environment. Their recreational director had lots of things going. The bus takes people to doctors' appointments, to the park, to the senior center, and to different places. They have scheduled outings, too. The place was very clean, nice and inviting. The minute you walk in there's a waiting area with coffee and tea available. The person that works behind the desk greets people as they walk in.

Brookdale Farmington was the one I liked the best. It was really lovely. It was an older place but very well kept up. The surroundings outside, the land, the little lake, and the walking trails were absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. The staff was excellent, very kind, nice, and very informative. I loved the 2-bedroom because it was very spacious and nice. The 1-bedroom was OK, too. They had washers and dryers on the floor in the hallway, in very close proximity to the apartments. The lunch was exceptionally good. I just liked the feel of the place, and I felt very at home there.

Brookdale Farmington is a great place. It looked richer and much higher-class, but, unfortunately, it was so far away from my kids. The staff was unbelievable all over the place; I cannot say that somebody was rude. Everybody was very pleasant; they offered me to eat, and I refused because I watch my weight. As far as atmosphere and condition and everything else, I would rate them the highest, but it’s not for me.

It's been 14 years since I came here at Gables of Farmington. The facility is in a beautiful location. We have beautiful grounds, a lake, and a lot of trees. It's also close to shopping malls. We have a housekeeper that comes in once a week. We have food served for breakfast and dinner. I can come and go as I please and the facility has everything I need.

I went to The Gables when we sang there as a group. The staff were friendly and nice. They had a large dining room overlooking a pond and it was well-lighted. Natural light streamed into the building and it was bright. Some of the activities were crafts, music, reading class, exercise group, etc. I would recommend this facility to others.
