Brookdale University Park was a great facility. I just did not feel that it's right for my dad. It is over in a very affluent part of town, and I thought that the amenities and the general culture of that facility was not appropriate for a man who has worked at hard labor all his life as a steelworker. He just did not fit well in that environment to me. The staff was very kind and took a lot of time with my husband and me. She told us all about their programs and what was going on there. She took us on a tour and took us up on the memory unit. We kind of walked through there, saw the room where he would have been, and took us out into a garden area. Everything there was extremely nice, and she was very nice. It just wasn't what I was looking for my father. It is an extremely large community, so they had every kind of senior living there. When you drive in, you literally went through building after building to get back to the memory unit. It was almost driving through a large apartment complex. It was large and impersonal. I did not feel like he was gonna get as much individual attention there as he would get at the other place.

Brookdale University Park is nice for people who have extreme memory loss and can't get around. They keep the place clean and the person in charge is very good. Everybody's really nice. I've only encountered one person that wasn't nice in the couple of months that my husband has been there, but other than that, it's a good place. The assisted living is also very nice, and my husband will be moving there. He will be able to go down to eat in the main dining room, and you get choices of food to eat, and the food there is very good. They take them out to eat every now and then. My husband participates in bingo, and they have activities even for people who need memory care. His room is great and very nice.
