We got to tour the whole facility of Brookdale Carriage Club Providence with the salesperson. We went through all the amenities. Before we visited, I had several pages of questions that were all answered. I think we got to see just about everything we wanted to. We were particularly interested in the villas, with two of us moving in, we wanted to be in one of the villas, so we got to see. I would classify it as older, but they're remodeling as they go along. For example, if somebody has been in the unit for ten years and the unit is vacated, they'll completely remodel it. So we get to see some remodeled places as well. They're all very nice. So we were pleased with the visit. They are very forthcoming. They drove us around the properties where we got to see everything. People seem friendly. The people that lived there seem to be very friendly as well. It was a little older but very clean. One thing we did like, literally you don't have to go outside during inclement weather or the winter to go from one place to another, except for living in the villas there you'd have to at least across the street to be able to get into the indoor corridors and stuff like that. We met maintenance staff people and cleaning staff people, and again, everybody seemed very, very friendly.
The biggest thing about it and why we were interested in it, they have the whole spectrum of continuing care on campus, but you don't pay upfront for that. If you need it, then you pay for it. So like ourselves, we have had a long-term care policy for over 20 years. That in itself is very attractive because you don't have those big upfront costs. But everything is on the campus, and it's a gated community as well, over 45 acres, lots of trails, and very, very pretty. I don't think we saw any apartment that didn't think you were living out in the woods someplace. That's one thing to consider.

We toured Brookdale Carriage Club Providence. The price is the best thing I like about the place, and the least thing that I like is that it has not been updated yet. They need to update their entire reception area, dining area, and all that. The staff that we saw was the person that gave us the tour, she was very good and thorough. The facilities were old, but they had a courtyard, swimming pool, exercise facilities, a salon, and a barber shop.

I've moved into Brookdale Carriage Club Providence. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The property is beautiful. My apartment is small, so it takes a little while to get used to. It's a one-bedroom apartment and it's very nice, well-maintained, and well cared for. In terms of all the places I looked at, it was moderately priced. It was kind of in the midrange of all of them. They have a big, well-managed, well-run cafeteria or dining room. The food is good and adequate. They have a pool and a big auditorium. It's a large facility. I think it's on ten acres or something. There's a walking path and two lakes on the property.

I toured Brookdale Carriage Club Providence. Brookdale to me is true to its name. It is independent. It also has an assisted living aspect, and it also has a memory, in separate buildings. It's marvelous. You go in. It's secure. They have the security guard, so no one can go in willy nilly, and I like that. The layout was marvelous, the landscaping was beautiful, and it was welcoming. You didn't feel like you were going to a facility. The entrance to it is magnificent, the common room, and the dining room are magnificent. The staff around, they're very friendly. When I came in they had "welcome Pam" signs.
Washers and dryers were in your separate units. Many options based on what you could afford. You could have what they call a villa, which is not necessarily one of the residences in the three floor building; a lot of options, walking trails, and a swimming pool. They're down south, that makes sense. It was just nice, I felt at home there. It was more of a community. It just looked lovely. If I had to go anywhere, I would go there. The staff was very knowledgeable, very helpful, and showed me all the rooms, all the possibilities, the villa, the one bedroom, the one with the terrace, the one with the walk out, and they showed me the gardening aspect. I'm a big gardener and there's not a big garden, but you could garden there. The activities were many, not just bingo. There were a lot of people in the common areas sitting, they had the hairdresser on site. They also have a full nursing staff. If you needed some sort of medication reminder, you're not ready to go into assisted care, but you might need a reminder, it just seemed like everything was there.

What I liked best about Brookdale Carriage Club Providence is the variety of levels of care. They have independent, assisted, and memory/Alzheimer's care, and if you're independent, you can still have some assistance. Either you hire your own or they have some people there for just small things and that would be extra. The people we ran into in the hall were very friendly.
They had a variety of things. They had a very nice gym, a very nice game room, a swimming pool outdoors, and a beauty salon, which was something I was looking for, for my mom. It's easy to access and it's also on Old Providence. Even though you're in the city, it has a lot of trees and it's a quiet neighborhood road, even though it's off of a busy road. When you get off of the main road, all of a sudden it's very peaceful and quiet.

I went to Brookdale Carriage Club Providence. The grounds are beautiful. I saw three different apartment styles, and I liked all of them. The woman who took me around was very friendly. She spent a lot of time with me. I visited the community areas. I had lunch in the dining room, which was very good. I had a very positive impression. I saw the dining room, a library, a bar area, a workout room, and an outdoor pool. They gave me a list of the activities that were going on that day, and they seemed to have a lot of activities for the residents. I was also given a lot of information about the finances compared to other places I've considered. I thought it was very reasonable. You don't have to buy into it, and you can also go into many different levels. The staff was very good. The apartments were spacious. I think they're the best value.

I took a tour of Brookdale Carriage Club, and I can tell you that I appreciated the person that toured me around. I believe her name was Lisa, but it has been a couple of weeks, so I could be mistaken. She was very engaging, energetic, and enthusiastic. She gave me material to bring home, which I found helpful, and she answered a lot of questions. It was a nice brochure, or a packet would be better word, and I appreciated that. I called her back to ask a question, but I don't remember what the question was, and she was able to answer that for me. There wasn't anything that I disliked. One thing that I didn't like, and this is just a personal preference, I didn't like the carpeting. The place certainly appeared to be very well maintained, but I didn't care for the carpeting, and that would be a factor. One of the units that we looked at had a balcony, which I thought was nice. The outdoors were clean, tidy, and appeared to be well cared for.

We went to Brookdale Carriage Club Providence. We were impressed with the grounds. It is in a nice, wooded area, and it has a comfortable feeling. I like that they have a gardening area for the residents. The facilities inside were very neat, too. It was during COVID, so there's limited activity, and I could not get a good judgment of what it would be like in a post-COVID world, but the people we spoke with were very knowledgeable. We looked at a one-bedroom apartment.

Brookdale Carriage Club Providence was too spread out for me and my husband. He was with me then and he could barely walk. It was just too spread out to get to the dining room and whatever you're doing. It was not a level that he would have been able to manage. They had very nice rooms. The staff was very nice. Everything is in one big recreation center, the meals are there, the swimming pool is in the back, and they have a lower level that has a gym with classes. If you really are able bodied and can walk, then it's the place for you, but if you have trouble getting around, I don't know, unless you pay extra to be in one of the homes that are nearer the recreation center. They have a golf cart, but you have to call for them to come and pick you up. We ate lunch there.

We had a good time with the people at Brookdale Carriage Club Providence. It's quite small and rather congested, and it did not look like they would be able to extend much. I'm into a lot of sports. There's an outdoor swimming pool, but it's not enough for me at this point. We ate there twice and it was all right. It was fine, but there were not many choices. The guy behind the desk worked hard to get in touch with the person we were meeting with, but he showed up at the right time, and took us around.

My mother used to live in Brookdale Carriage Club Providence. They had entertainment and delicious food. The place was great. They had a happy hour every day but gave people too much liquor, and I don't think that's right. The help wasn't so great, and the cost was expensive. The director was terrible and took on more than she could handle. I waited about a month to hear from her. The rest of the staff was wonderful. Overall, it's not a good value for the money.

I didn't like Brookdale Carriage Club Providence. Outside, it was crowded, but inside residents were wearing sweat clothes and were walking around. I went on a Sunday, and that's the way they were dressed. I think dressing like that makes you go downhill because it doesn't make you feel good about yourself. They ought to make their dress code a little bit better; they can't wear just sweat pants. Also, they don't give assigned spots for their cars, so there wasn't a place for me to park my car. They didn't show me any activities, so I don't really know if they have activities. The staff was not very informative.

We placed dad at a Brookdale living facility, and it is lovely. They have all kinds of care, and he is in independent living. They have apartments and villas. They provide housekeeping once a week. It is an older facility; that is why they still have the woods and the lake which is quite nice. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and supportive. Right now he is receiving physical therapy there which is really nice. They are able to do that right there in the facility. It is very social, and all the residents seem happy and comfortable. The food is fine, and the dining area is very nice. They have a place where you can have takeout as well as going to the dining room. He prefers to do the takeout.
