Brookdale Spruce Wood was OK, but they only give you one meal a day and that's supper and they have a kitchenette. At my mom's age, she might not want to make a meal, but the people were pleasant and they were doing a good job. They have almost everything there. They have a library, a gym, exercise classes, and walking trails. It's just out of our price range and it's way out of town. It's in the middle of the woods. It's quiet and peaceful though.

I like that Brookdale Spruce Wood was modern and clean, and it had good amenities. The staff is friendly. They have a library and exercise equipment. The apartments are spacious. The staff was great. Her name is Abby. She's knowledgeable. She has been there for many years. She's good.

My friend is in Brookdale Spruce Wood. It's very nice. It's a very bright, warm, and welcoming facility. The staff is very caring and involved on a personal level with the residents. They try to meet all of their individual needs. They have a beautiful facility with a wonderful dining area and very good food. The upkeep and cleanliness are good. He's a very picky eater, so the food has to be good. They do whatever level of physical activity the individual is capable of, such as playing board games, bowling in the hallways, going out to shop at local establishments, and going out for a meal. They do quite a few things. They have a beautiful dining room, and there is a medical office with nursing staff. There are both a formal and informal living room for welcoming guests and holding functions. He and his wife both live there, so the cost factor would be based on their double occupancy.

I was at Brookdale Spruce Wood twice during lunchtime and they were incredible. They're very new. It's a very expensive operation, but you get what you pay for. It was definitely top shelf. The staff was awesome. The second time I went, while I was waiting for the administrator to finish with another interview that she was holding, two of the staff members came (uninvited), introduced themselves, sat down, and asked if I had any questions. The administrator for the meal and food part of the facility spent 20 minutes with me, all of it without any prompting. It was very warm and welcoming. One of the things that we thought was a little bit sad was there was no physical therapy or occupational therapy. You do that on your own however you want to do it. There were some activities, but for a facility that was as expensive as this one, we felt that it was almost boring. There were one or two things a day to choose from. They're not very active.

I am living here in Brookdale Spruce Wood, and it's very nice. The room is actually lovely because it has a beautiful view out into the trees, and I find it very peaceful. I really love it. It's lovely because they have a mix of independent and assisted living, and there are a lot of very intellectually stimulating events, music, concerts, and workshops. It's very good. The staff is lovely, friendly, warm, and helpful.

Brookdale Spruce Wood was a very nice place but did not meet the needs of my father. The staff was very nice. The room was kind of small. The dining area looked good.

I toured Brookdale a couple of times. It was nice, I like the location, and the facility. The rooms were okay, it could use a little bit of updating, but all in all I think it was very good. I saw the nurses onsite, and the residents seemed happy there. It was a bit big for my dad.

At my first visit to this facility, I was overwhelmingly impressed by the gracious and professional tour we were given. We were treated as honored guests and all my questions were answered thoroughly..
As a fairly young person (68) not expecting to be considering assisted living at this point in my life and feeling that it is a ;living situation that i would tolerate but not enjoy, I left excited and felt I would be quite happy to move right in that day. .When I entered, it was as if i had stepped onto a University campus. There was nn air of continuing learning and knew that that type of stimulation would be important to me. Coming to a seminar on the neuroplasticity of the brain further confirmed my opinions about this particular facility. The audience was lively, humorous and informed. i enjoyed very much chatting with the residents and felt there was the possibility of friendships for me there that i hadn't felt anywhere else.
I also liked their continuing care philosophy of not increasing charges as you need more assistance, I can't say enough about this facility. .

The staff at Emeritus was great, the rooms were very nice, and the restaurant was really nice. It looked like the dining room was beautiful, very well done, and spacious. They would take them to places. It was beautiful, I am impressed, and the price was reasonable.

We visited Emeritus at Spruce Wood, and it was all right. But they didn't take pets, so we didn't look at it carefully and I was not interested.

I was able to visit Emeritus at Spruce Wood, and the experience was good. I like the facility, but it's just too far away from home. I was impressed that it is homey and it has a nice ambiance. It has a very warm atmosphere. The rooms were fine, and the décor was fine.

Emeritus was excellent. It was very clean. The facility and the set up were great. I loved the environment, the location, everything about it. I thought the whole accommodation and not just the rooms were very spacious. The lobby and the dining room were great. The little kitchen area that they had where they could sit down and have coffee was super for socialization, which would be very important for somebody her age. I thought mom would be happy there.

My experience with this assisted living facility was tremendous. The staff members that we apart of the facility were extremely nice and caring, and to top it all off they were loving. Every time I would spark conversations with the staff members I felt like I was talking to one of my own family members. Another amazing part of the building were all the facilities in it. I was shocked to see how clean everything was; especially the bathrooms. Also the kitchen and the food they served was awesome. I enjoyed practically every minute I was in the building and it is the prefect place for my grandmother to stay. Another quality part of the facility was the rooms. The rooms were amazing and very comfortable. I could not imagine living anywhere else if I were growing old and fragile. The bathrooms, as I said, were amazing and clean, and the living rooms were decently big too. The best part about it though were the bedrooms. The beds were quite large and extremely comfortable and they also had large televisions in them as well. Overall, my experience at Emeritus at Spruce Wood was incredible and I am overwhelmingly glad that my grandmother was blessed to live there.
