My dad was in Brookdale Skyline in the rehab center, and I was very disappointed with that place. I understand that COVID affects a lot of the health care places, but I would never take my dad back there. That was just the rehab side, and I didn't see the independent living or assisted living. Because of corona, I wasn't able to visit him except for four days. I wasn't very pleased. He came home worse than he went in because the lack of rehab. It's a beautiful facility, but as far as the care went, it was minimal. There were a couple of staff that were good. My dad really enjoyed one of the CNAs, Sara. My dad was isolated in a room and physical therapy was minimal. He said the food was OK, but he had better. The physician that was there was an absolute joke. I don't even know if he was competent enough to be a doctor. The first night he was there I wanted to speak to the physician and kind of give them a synopsis of my dad's situation. It took him two hours to come into the room to talk to me. He waited for me to be the last resident that he saw. His room had a beautiful view, and the bathroom was very large. There was a bed area and a living area. It was decent. They had a very large dining area, which was nice. And they had a dog that visited the residents.

My wife is in Brookdale Skyline. It's very large, it's very new, and it's elegant. It's almost Spanish, a series of 6 buildings, and each building specialized to certain types of people or stuff, and their needs. It also had houses, you had your own garage and everything that's onsite, and they just bring meals and stuff if you want them. It's all gated, and getting in is like trying to get in a fort, it isn't easy. I've been as far as the gate, turned around after I dropped off things for my wife and filled-up paperwork. They got 11 cases of COVID on the staff, no patient except for one that was in assisted living, and that person got infected during an outing, because they could come and go as they wanted in assisted living. The staff is good, the people I've met are very, very efficient, I believe there has been a shortage lately of nurses and caregivers due to COVID, they're real polite and they're nice. There's a rehab, and common areas she can go to, and I'm able to visit with her once a week via Skype. The skilled nursing area is like a private hospital except for the common area where they watch TV, they have semi-private and private rooms set up quite nicely with all the accommodations, TV, in their rooms.

We have moved my father-in-law into Village at Skyline. He likes this facility very well. They have a very helpful staff. Their rooms are spacious. They have a garden there where residents can walk around and it is a gated area. Regarding food, I have tried eating there a couple of times now and it has been very good actually. So overall, we're good now with this facility.
