My brother will be moving into Brookdale Gaines Ranch. The apartments are all completely updated. They have crown molding and all new fixtures. In the kitchen, they have new microwaves. It looks very clean and very inviting. They have their choice of food for the residents. Their rooms are much bigger. They have their own hospice and own doctors, should you need them. You can go see your own physician if you'd like to, even if you're on hospice with them. The staff was great. She showed us the apartment, around the whole place, the dining room, and the little gift shop. She did a really good job. They have an exercise room, beauty salon, pools, movie type of thing, a little café, and pool tables. They have a lot of stuff over there. It's a nice facility.

I moved Mom into Brookdale. Everybody there seems to be happy, its well-run, and the people are really nice. The service and facilities are very good, and theyre very accommodating. Shes been to the physical therapy room with a therapist, shes been to exercise classes, and theyre all fine. She doesnt like bingo, shes gone to a lot of the concerts, but she hasnt gone to any games yet.

Brookdale Gaines Ranch was very nice, very upscale, it's like a hotel, and it's very fancy. The staff members were very courteous, nice, informed, very friendly and accommodating. The grounds were very nice. The landscaping was very nice and very upscale. It's close to everything.

Brookdale Gaines Ranch was the one that we felt was most affordable and the easiest to access for me when I go on visits. It was not brand new, but it was very well-kept up and grounds were beautiful. The inside was very nice. They had a lunch menu on a whiteboard, and they showed me some other menus. It looks like the people eat very well there. Everything was very clean, and it almost felt like you were walking into an upscale hotel. The staff was very nice. I would put my father there in a minute. They had different room sizes, and one of the things that I really like is that they're willing to work with you to get the bathroom exactly like how you need it to be. My father’s balance is such a big deal, which makes his bathroom and especially big deal. When I walked in, it was definitely very positive. What struck me the most were the residents. They seemed very at ease and content, alert, and happy to be there.

The staff at Brookdale Gaines Ranch is wonderful. We work with John and Aaron, and they are both just really amazing. Everyone is just so nice. My parents just love it, and my dad says that everything there is positive. The food is good, and everything is great. They have not moved in yet, but they are actually redoing the whole thing for them. That is a pretty big apartment, and it is going to be all brand new. They a have pool, therapy, a pool table, arts & crafts, and a craft room. They have all kinds of parties, happy hour, and things like that all the time. The place is pretty safe. The people that work there are wonderful and even the people where you eat. They worked there for a long time, so they know the residents.

I think it is very nice. It is about four or five stories, so it has elevators. The Heritage doesn't have cottages, and it is set up like a hotel. They are remodeling right now, and I think it is going to be nice. It has good food, and they have a beautiful swimming pool.

I visited Brookdale at Gaines Ranch. The food was good. The dining room is all right. The staff is very helpful and very friendly. They had as many or more activities than the other places. There were a lot of things going on. They could improve on having washers & dryers in the units. They were very nice, but expensive.

We've moved my mom to this community. There were 3 assisted living places that were highly rated in Austin, and this is the one I chose. The staff seemed extremely friendly. The infrastructure seemed quite good: nice, big lobby, nice dining areas, and the assisted living floor had nurses there 16 hours a day. What I like are the staff. Their work ethics seem quite good. They only have private rooms. There are no shared rooms. It's probably 300 or 400 sq. ft.
I've eaten there; the food is good. There's always an activity inside, and they take them outside also. There are 3 activities a day. There are activities in the morning. There's an afternoon something. There's an evening something.

It doesn’t have a memory care unit, but it was good. The staff was very knowledgeable. They didn’t seemed very involved with their residents.

It was fine. It had a nice and very friendly environment. The lady who helped us was very nice. Everybody looked happy. It wasn't a huge facility. So when you came in, it had family kind of feeling.

I have been here to visit two of my friend who currently lives there. The facility is impeccable. It is very clean. The working staff is phenomenal and so nice. They have a lot to offer their clientele. They have a lot of activities. They have an exercise room and indoor pool for older people, which is accessible. The food is wonderful.

My mom was in the assisted living facility and it was very nice. She was comfortable when she was there. I had lunch a couple times there with her and the food was good.

We visited because we were looking for a facility for mom. The place was very nice and upscale. It was very clean and there were a lot of amenities. The living environment was spacious, clean and there were a lot of activities.They had an activity room, library, dining room and rehabilitation facilities. However, we did not see any of the rooms. The staff were very accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend this place to others.

My mother had a sudden and drastic turn in health that necessitated her moving from her condo to a more structured environment. She was a little concerned about moving to a "nursing home" but when we walked in the door her jaw dropped. It's a beautiful place with wonderful amenities but the best part is the staff. Everyone knew my mom's name by the second day she was there. They take great care of the residents and their families
