We visited the independent side at Brentwood Retirement Community, but they explained the assisted living side as well. The community was quiet. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The studio apartment wasn't bad. It had a little kitchenette, a little stovetop and a screened-in patio, so it was nice. The food was really good. The activity area was nice and open. The dining room had plenty of seats. It was a really nice place. They had a salon, a little store in there, a library, and transportation to stores. The facility was older, but they seemed to be in decent shape. If anything was wrong, you had to call the maintenance people. They seemed to be pretty decent at coming to fix stuff.

I went to the Brentwood Retirement Community. It's an older place and to me, it wasn't very attractive. The tour was nice, the size of the rooms and all that was nice, but I just didn't like the overall appearance. I didn't like the appearance of the place. You couldn't cook there. The room sizewise was ok, but they weren't very attractive. They had a pool. I don't think they have a kitchen, I think they had a kitchenette. I only met two ladies that took me around the tour, and they were very nice. Price-wise, it was great.

I'm moving to Brentwood Retirement Community. I have a 1-bedroom unit. I have a scooter to get to the dining room and other facilities. The staff was very pleasant and good. I went to two or three luncheons. One meal I didn't care for, but the rest I did. They have specials each day and the menu items that you can choose from alternate. They have a swimming pool, they give you a calendar of activities every month, and you can pick and choose from those.

We visited this facility and I would not want to live here. It is old, dirty and run down. There were cracks in the ceiling as we entered the lobby, cracks in the walls and the carpeting has seen better days. The lobby was small - it had a small sofa, and 3 leather over stuffed chairs that was for everyone in the facility to use. We toured the retirement area and the apartment that was showed to us was filthy. Both bathtubs had numerous dead bugs along with roaches. The kitchen was really small, of course you don't need a large one when you're retired. The electric stove burners needing replacing as they were sticking up in the air. The appliances needed upgrading. The living area was very small and would only accommodate a small sofa, one end table, a small table to hold a small TV and that's it. The walls had cracks and so did the ceiling. The outside grounds needed some TLC. The dining area was small considering the size of the facility. The people were friendly. I would not want to live there.

Brentwood Retirement Community had one-bedroom or two-bedroom apartments, depending on what you want. They had a central dining room where they serve the meals and quite a few amenities for their residents. We are looking at independent, then assisted, and then heavy medical care. We talked to the manager of operations. This place is a good value for your money, but it didn't grab our attention.

I live in Brentwood Retirement Community, and it's really nice. The apartments are big, and I'm living independently. There's also assisted-living, and a rehab center here. The common dining area is good. It's big, homey, and restaurant style. They have bingo three days a week, Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday. They go on shopping trips, to doctors, and dinners occasionally. They have nice trees, but when it gets winter-time the acorns fall off the trees. It gets on the driveways where your car sits so you better be careful that you don't slip, and fall. They need to improve their maintenance too.

I am in Brentwood. It is very good and very pleasant. The food is very good. They have activities every day of the week. They have bingo, movies, they have bus that takes you shopping, and for the holidays, they have choirs singing. You name it, they have it. They have all kinds of activities. I definitely will recommend them to others
