We went to see the Brooklyn Living Center. I liked it because it was a smaller facility, and it was very bright and cheerful. When we walked in, the residents were playing cornhole, and we all could tell they were really enjoying themselves. We got to tour the rooms. The staff was amazing and just super helpful. The manager, Amy, sat down with us for like an hour and talked to us about the facility. We actually put a deposit down on that place, but they don't have availability right now. So when it does become available, hopefully, we'll work out the finance. Down the road, if they needed help with reminders for medication, they offer all kinds of help, like with the laundry. I like the fact that they can put their trash outside their door, and they do the linens every two weeks. You could tell it was very well run. I would live there. The facilities were nice, the rooms were nice, and the dining area was lovely, open, and spacious. And they provide tons of activities daily.

I got a positive impression from Brooklyn Living Center. The people were elderly, but they were up and about. The activities director took us around. We saw a nice two-bedroom, which was what we wanted. They had a walking club, showed movies, and played cards. The dining area was set up with round tables and assigned seating according to if you're diabetic or not, so they could bring certain food to certain tables.

I only met one staff member at Brooklyn Living Center, and they were very friendly and very helpful. It seemed very nice. I went while everybody was eating lunch, so I didn't get to talk to many people. The rooms were beautiful. I saw the menu for the day, and it sounded very good. The food is really good there. They had Wii Bowling and bingo of course. They go on shopping trips and go out to lunch sometimes. Every once in a while, they go out to dinner too.
