Brookdale Kettering was outdated. The room that they had available for my dad caused safety concerns. They need to update things. The carpentry in the apartment was probably from the 70s. The bedroom that I saw had a decent size. The staff was very friendly. They had a gym and a salon. Because it's old, it's very difficult to know if it's dirty or not. The facility was located fairly close to hospitals and close to shopping.

My dad stayed at Brookdale Kettering. I thought the atmosphere was very welcoming and it felt like home. He really enjoyed the room he had because he had a one-bedroom and a patio where he could look outside, and it felt like home to him. So, that was very nice. The staff was very kind and I think they did a good job. I really had a good rapport with everyone I talked to. They had activities and I saw residents out in the dining area enjoying trivia and bingo. It's an older building, and I think they've done their best to keep it up-to-date, but it could be improved a little bit. It was clean, no doubt about that, but it just seemed so worn out. It's not like it needs to be fancy, but sometimes it looked like it was just lacking in care and upkeep.

Brookdale Kettering had steps everywhere in the assisted living apartments, which was not going to work for somebody like my mother-in-law. They also had a little patio attached to the assisted living apartment that you had to go down the steps. It was an older facility and some of the steps were cracked and broken. It just didn't seem very updated to me and very safe. The staff I met seemed OK though.

I did a tour of Brookdale Kettering. You don't get a lot of space in the rooms for the money, and it just seemed kind of dark, not very well lit. The floors are kind of older, so it almost feels like you're walking on a fake floor. It's like they put a floor over top of something else. The spaces that they do have were nice. A lot of them have a back screened-in patio, like a sunroom almost; that was kind of nice. They do independent living in an assisted living; I don't think they have any memory care. They're both the same, the apartments are the same. You just add in the level of care with the apartment. But you could do both in the same room. It has a good location; it's just really old and dated. They need more lighting, it's just dark; maybe a little bit of updating on the rooms themselves. Some of them are just old, they just need some updating, overall.

I toured Brookdale Kettering for my dad, and it was a nice community. It was beautiful, it was clean, and the residents looked happy. The one who assisted me on the tour was very sweet, and she knew what she was talking about. They have puzzles, games, and they also have trips.

When my relative first moved there they were on the independent living side and even though it wasn't perfect it was good for them. Now since moving to the assisted living side its really sad. The room is more expensive and the room is disgusting. I wonder if they even get a bath their fingernails are dirty and they always smell. Getting help takes at least 20 minutes sometimes longer. I wish I was in control because they would be with me and a nurse and hospice could come to me. Its awful!!!

My father is in Brookdale Kettering. The facility is okay, but the accommodations are old and dated. The staff is pretty friendly. There weren't too many activities.

The Brookdale Kettering community is like nowhere I have ever been. My husband has Parkinson's and goes there once a week for an hour for physical therapy. The first time we went there, we were stunned by the genuine warmth of the residents who passed us, and it was the same every time he went for therapy. We were so impressed with Brookdale that on our way out the first time, I inquired for an apartment even though we weren't looking. We wound up looking at an apartment the next week. I was impressed. After that, the leasing agent asked if she could send home some sandwiches with us because by then it was 4:00, and she would up pack a whole dinner for us. Later, she made an appointment for us to have dinner there, and it was lovely. The food was fine, and the setting was warm and congenial. It's an extraordinary place.

We visited Brookdale. It was nice a facility in a nice area. That staff was very nice. It would have been our choice if we had not found something more affordable. The rooms were medium-sized.

They served us cookies during the tour at Brookdale. The place was just not as new and the atmosphere was not as good as the others. But the people were very nice. It’s also an older facility.

Grand Court is very nice, but the problem we have is the money. It’s just too expensive for us to have my mom going to it right now. The rooms are very well maintained. They’re smaller than what I would hope for because she’s coming from a 3-bedroom house. The kitchens are never very big, but suitable.

Grand Court is very old. I did not like it. The rooms are big and spacious, but the interior was out of date. The assisted living area has no life at all. I didn't see anybody out and about. In the front part where they had the independent living, there were people out and about, but there was nothing going on at the back. It was old, and it was not alive. The person who was supposed to give us our tour was late. It wasn't that long, but it wasn't a good thing. She was nice and knowledgeable even though she hasn't been there that long. I didn't see any interaction between the staff and the residents there. There was no friendly, cordial atmosphere. They were not greeting them when she met them which was important to me. I wouldn't put anybody there. They need to update their facility and modernize it.

I visited Grand Court Dayton for my mother. I only talked to one person, and she was very nice. The whole facility itself was on one level, but it was extremely large and my first thought was my mother will get totally lost going around here, and she probably will end up just staying in her room and not trying to venture out. It was a little overwhelming. They had a very large dining area. The day I was there, there was a man and lady singing and they had a lot of people in there watching; they actually came from other nursing homes to watch. The place was clean. One thing I noticed is, as soon as I pulled in there, the parking situation was not really good. I had a hard time finding a place to park. Regarding location, it is very conveniently located to the new mall, it is close to I-675 and there are a lot of restaurants there.

My grandparents were here for the last 6 months an during that time the staff here were negligent and lazy. Meds were not given on time an sometimes not at all. Diabetic diets were not followed and my grandfather had several falls. Even after multiple trips to the hospital and beig labeled a fall risk he was not given a wheelchair alarm and was left for hours unattended. The last fall left him looking like he was in a boxing match and lost. The Grand court seemed uninformed about the care my grandparents needed and nickel and dined them for services needed. Overall I would put my wort enemy in this or any other brookdale facility. They have been moved to a competent facility and are happy and healthy.

I liked the 24-hour availability of Grand Court. They showed me a one-bedroom apartment, and the rent included two meals. They have transportation for doctor’s appointments. The staff was very friendly, very professional, and knew what they’re doing.

Grand Court Dayton is a very large facility and very clean. The dining room was big, and the gathering spaces were also big. They look more independent overall. The staff are very attentive, and I never felt that they were just showing what they wanted me to see. They also continuously followed up with me. The rooms actually seem fine. It would have been more of what my dad was looking for, and if I was looking for something, I would consider living there.

We like Grand Court Dayton. They have multiple dining rooms. They have a series of smaller dining rooms, so you can eat in groups. They have two kinds of rooms. They have just a bedroom with a little bit of a kitchen, and then they have a one-bedroom. The staff was good.

I was at Grand Court when I had my neck surgery. Everything was great. It was fine, I was comfortable there. They came in and checked on me, gave me plenty of towels and changed my sheet regularly. They let me have my dog there. One even wanted to walk my dog for me. The food was pretty good, but I didn’t really eat a lot of their food. My room had a little kitchenette, so I could have some of my own food. I made a lot of smoothies, fruits and vegetables were always on my diet. The bathroom was great. They had a nice handicapped bathroom, it was easy to use. But, when I first got there, I had to wipe off the counter. It wasn't clean as I like it. Also, you're supposed to have all the things you need in the kitchen, there was not a lot. I didn’t like their pans, it seemed old and dirty so I had to get my own.

Grand Court Dayton was the facility where my mom stayed. The location was very nice. It had a homey environment and she felt more at home. She got a whole apartment for a good price. She liked to look out at the flowers and it had a very scenic view from her living room. She also had a patio where she went out and got fresh air. The food was good too. And the staff was attentive and they did more for her like the laundry and housekeeping every week.

Grand Court Dayton is a great place. The place is clean. If I was gonna be going to a place, I think this facility I would choose. The main thing that caught my eye originally was the little patio areas that they have there. I have both a small dog and a cat and they said they would accept that.

Grand Court Dayton is a five star facility because it is the best in the area. I like the facility, particularly, the menu and the dining, they have a monthly menu and daily menu and there are choices of soup, salads, all kinds of desserts and side dishes and nice selection every day. They got everything here that the others have and more. They only problem I have is the delay in maintenance. But I would recommend Grand Court Dayton to everyone.

I liked Grand Court. It was great. They gave us a guided tour, and the people were very friendly. I like the location. It's right by the multiplex mall and a movie theater. I was very impressed with the people, the activity, and the facility.

Mom loves being at Grand Court. I think they're all very friendly. They keep the residents engaged which is important. But she doesn't like the food. She said it's unseasoned. I think it just needs to be more tasteful. And it would be nice if they have an outside area just to sit. My mom has made a lot of friends there.
