I had a good tour at Brookdale Club Hill. We went all over the place and then into the cafeteria. They were doing an activity while we were there. We saw an apartment and it was good, as well as their craft room. It was just kind of an older facility and a little away from us.

My mom lived at this facility for 7 years everything was ok until she moved into the assisted living. She was left many times unsupervised and in unsanitary conditions. The staff said that was not their responsibility. Needless to say we moved to another facility.

Brookdale Club Hill was quite good. It's a nice place and bigger than the other one we checked out. I saw two apartments there and the dining room and they were good and big too. It's just a clean place.

The staff of Brookdale Club Hill was wonderful. They were really good, very easy to work with, and very attentive to what we needed. Just great all around. The layout of the facility was beautiful, and it was just a very pretty place to live. The rooms were small but they were adequate, and they had lots of room choices. My parents were able to find one that they can live in, so that worked out good. They have a library, a beauty shop, a fitness room, pool, bible studies, art classes, church services, and pretty much just anything they could possibly need.

We went to Brookdale Club Hill. We decided at that point, when my parents were still open to the idea, that independent living was not enough care. The assisted living was a class A, not a class B. My dad is a class B, and they did not have openings on the first floor. They were not doing communal dining. The residents either picked up their meals, or had them delivered to their rooms. The staff was very nice and very helpful. The facility is older, but that's OK.

We talked to the person in Brookdale Club Hill. It was the most friendly and it had different options available. The staff gave us probably the most comprehensive tour. They mentioned that they have small apartments that are not necessarily assisted living. They showed us one of those that was along the perimeter of the facility. They showed us some of the rooms in the assisted living center, and we got to see the cafeteria areas, too. It seemed they had various levels of support for those that just wanted to be more in a community like that. We saw a little bit of the parking space. We weren't too concerned about it because most elderly folks are not going to have their driver's license anymore. I don't know how long my mom will have hers; I wasn't concerned about parking. They had pretty nice grounds. It seemed like it was an older place, and the trees were bigger. It seemed pretty pleasant at least at the entry point where we came in. The staff was very accommodating in every way. Brookdale Club Hill is a little bit older, and the rooms are average. I think they had the least Covid restrictions that made it possible for us to even get in. If we put somebody at age 90 in a place and we can never see them, it's already a shock in it of itself, and for them not to get a direct family visit and not knowing when the family could even come in is probably the negative that all of them have, so Brookdale Club Hill, having some level of accommodations where you could actually have a reasonable visit, made it the most interesting.

Brookdale Club Hill was too big. It's a gigantic campus. The staff was friendly and the rooms were nice. My father would be overwhelmed with the size of the place, but it's nice and well kept.

Everything at Brookdale Club Hill was great. Cody, the guy who took us around, was wonderful. They had more activities there than most other places that I visited, and I thought that they had really fun activities for the elderly. Everybody was very friendly and the people who lived there were very happy. Everybody was laughing and talking. The director of activities, David, was great, with a great personality. They had some really good things there that other places didn't. For example, you can pick what you want to do when you move in, whether it's happy hour, tea, or inviting your friends for a housewarming, which I think is a great idea.

I would have loved to put Mom at Brookdale Club Hill. They had several buildings. We went into Building 10 because it was the one that had a 24-hour nurse and everything was self-contained. I was impressed with all the buildings, but I most impressed with Building 10 for my mother. The staff was great and really worked hard with me trying to get Mom in there. Everybody I talked to was nice and helpful. They had some group of ladies who were crocheting, and we also saw some doing arts. They gave us an excellent pie. The place looked very bright and decorated well. Everybody seemed to be very happy.

We love Brookdale Club Hill, so far. Mom's room is a lot bigger than the one she had at another place. It’s a little older but clean, and the people are really responsive. They have an activity coordinator, a pool, a spa, and a place where the residents can get their hair done. They also have several buses to take the residents places. It is a large place.

My mother is living in Brookdale Club Hill in Garland. We are very impressed with it. My mother is mainly impressed with the size of her individual living space in her two-bedroom cottage. That's what makes the difference. They have a calendar of events, and they have different people coming in to entertain them. They have an art room and a ceramics where you can go in and make crafts. My mother has done bridge and bingo. They have full-service dining, which is nice. It's good. She is OK there.

We just moved in to Brookdale Club Hill yesterday. It’s been good. We haven’t been here that long, but we’re enjoying it. The staff is wonderful. They have bingo and sing-along. Our room is gigantic compared to what we were in, and it is wonderful, but they could improve on better communication between staff.

We visited Brookdale Club Hill. My mother did not like it because it was not updated enough and would not let her smoke. However, they were very nice and showed us around. The food was excellent. Brookdale Club Hill would have worked out best but because my mother smokes, it was not something that would work for us. We were trying to find a place that had a patio where my parents could sit outside and enjoy some fresh air. This place was very scenic with lots of trees and thought it would be something my parents would enjoy. The people there were very nice. It had pretty much everything we needed. Plus, they would administer and keep up with all the medications. When we needed new prescriptions, they would have to write it for us, so we were very excited about that. Brookdale was a lovely community.

My mother is at Brookdale Club Hill. We moved her there last April, and she is quite comfortable there. The accommodations are nice and spacious. Her biggest complaint is that there's not enough closet space. The grounds are beautiful. The staff provides excellent care. I have eaten there, and the food was quite delicious, but my mother sometimes complains about it. With regards to their activities, they have group games and little groups that come in and entertain them. They have different parties, and they invite family members. Transportation is provided back and forth to Walmart if she wants to go. Overall, I like the place, and I think it has everything that she needs.

We moved to Brookdale Club Hill and like it a lot. We like the general atmosphere, the surroundings, the landscaping, the activities, and everything that the facility offers. We have a two-bedroom, two-bath apartment. Their food is very good, and the dining situation is like eating in a hotel dining room. I’m more than satisfied with the staff; they’re really nice, friendly, helpful, and very accommodating. They have exercise class in the mornings, bridge once a week, arts and crafts, lots of concerts and lectures, and the beauty shop is really good.

Brookdale is the one we have the most interest in at this time. The facilities are attractive and well-managed. They have an assisted living unit as well as independent living units. They have a restaurant type dining, and they have a menu to choose from. They have a pretty broad program, they take them to various locations, and there is something going on every month I believe. In addition, they have in house activities.

Dad really seemed to like the Brookdale Club Hill as it was really nice, and they were very helpful. She did show me one room and it had been good, it wasn’t too big or too small. They had reading and a pool also. It all seemed pretty good to me. What I like the most was the fact that in the bathroom, if something happens and dad needed help, he had a cord where he could pull it, and it would signal them that he needed help, and also they had a button where every morning he would have to push the button to let him know that he is OK, and if he didn’t push that button, they would send someone to come check on him.

Preston S. and staff were wonderful and caring with my parents. Moving was very difficult, especially for my mother. Preston and staff came in, took care of minor details that needed to be addressed in apartment, finished helping mom unpack and hang up clothes, hooked up TV to cable, and more. Brookdale Club Hill went above and beyond to help my parents move so much easier! What a wonderful place and many thanks to all!

Brookdale Club Hill has a lovely setting. There are a lot of trees on the grounds and moats, bridges, and walkways built over the waterways. There are ducks and fish that are in the waterways in the summertime. You occasionally get to see blue herons. You have a choice of three entrees each meal, which are very well prepared, and snacks are available at all times. They have a number of different programs and activities to help encourage the residents to get out of their apartments and take part and to help them make new friends. The people are very caring and very conscientious about their jobs. They're very quick to respond if there's a problem. The activities are very varied. We have everything from putting puzzles together to having excursions, going out to different places and shopping. They do have doctors that come here to see clients who are not able or do not wish to leave the property. They also have podiatrists and other specialists that come. There is a library and a room for painting, and they do try to accommodate most of your wishes -- i.e., if you like to sleep late in the morning. It's not a regimen like you're in the military. There are mailboxes in the building that you live in, which are locked. There are several people that have lived here for a number of years, and some of the employees have been here for a number of years. In the way of food, just last week we had prime rib, and lobster tail a few days before that. We frequently have fried or baked catfish and salmon. The food is good. The employees are very helpful. I would recommend it highly. It's a type A facility, and you must be able to evacuate in 15 minutes under your own power. Otherwise, you can't live here because they don't keep enough employees to help a lot of people out of the building. I've been here for almost three years now. They offer you here a storage area inside the building, and you have your own lock and key. They also offer covered parking, which is an extra charge. They do also have someone from outside that has trained dogs to work with seniors, and they bring them in so that we have someone to pet.

I am in the process of moving mom at Brookdale Club Hill. This place is socially active for lonely elders. The food is excellent, and the ground is magnificent. It is a 27-year-old facility, so the trees are all great. The property is kept up. It is a beautiful little facility, and I think she will be happy here for many years.

It has been wonderful for me being here. We have been running into the people visiting with them. That is like air to me. I am pleased with this place, but there is no way any human place is totally perfect, but I feel "full" like I'm living my life; it is just in a different place. We are free to move about. They do have a safety button, there are two in this apartment, and we report in everyday so that they know they have heard from us or they'll come. I'm very pleased because they have been responsive to any requests that I made. Everything is painted beautifully and is clean as a pin. Food is pretty good. They would deliver it. All in all, it has been going well. They have all kinds of activities going on all the time. They have a whole building, and we can go in there and makes things -- i.e., they have hobbies, card games, dominoes, bingos, and bridge. They take bus trips to places. It has been wonderful. I would just have to say I'm grateful to be here. I have a wonderful apartment. I just love it. It is very homey and very cozy. I just couldn't be more pleased. Everything is kept very clean. The buildings are spotless at all times. It is beautiful. They have living rooms in every building, and they have an organ in there in each one, and they have TV. It is a great gathering place.

Everything is doing fine at Brookdale Club Hill. We just have elevator problems, and they're getting that corrected. I have leg and back problems, so it's hard for me to get up or down. They try to accommodate everybody, and they have to bring the food up to the floors. We have an area where we have sing-alongs, and people get together on our floor. They put tables up here for us to eat at right now. I suggest to keep the elevators running. That's our main concern over here. The services are great, and they really want us to be one happy family here. The help here is really good. There is a good rapport between the nurse's aides and the therapists. They want everybody to be content and happy. In my case, I don't make $5000 a month, so I can't pay that much if I rent here by myself.

I was familiar with Brookdale Club Hill as I grew up close to where it was located. I didn’t have much interaction with a lot of the staff -- just the sales director -- but he was very knowledgeable and helpful. The rooms were spacious with nice views from the balcony. I was not able to eat there, but my father did, and he enjoyed the food. They do have games for the residents and a craft room. They also go out on outings.

My impression after I visited was very good. The representative that took me on a tour in the facility was knowledgable and personable. The staff was very agreeable and welcoming too. I enjoyed the setting especially the room setting which was very pleasant. It was really beautiful. However, I felt like it might not be appropriate for my mom because she is less mobile and is not willing to walk independently. Because of our reservations about her mobility, I felt like that might not be the best setting for my mom. I think it would be an excellent experience for someone who is stronger physically and enjoys the walk to and from the various buildings. They did have a physical therapy center though which allowed outpatient activities. I really wanted my mom to get involved with that. We didn't see the place as a potential place for her in the future. Consequently, we decided not to go ahead and pursue it at that time.

It is a nice place. My mother likes it. The staff had been wonderful. She gets a lot of help, and they all seem very sweet. We don't have any problems. Her room is kind of small, but it is enough room for her. I have seen on their schedule that they do have some exercise classes. She likes the food and the choices. They give them choices and it seems to be a good variety. And, she loves the desserts, so I have not heard any complaints about the food.

My father-in-law is here. We chose it for him for its location and the facility itself: the amenities, the size of the unit that he is able to stay in, what they offered, and how beautiful the estate was. The rooms are big. They have a kitchen, two bedrooms, living and dining area. This is definitely the best of all that we looked at.

It was really cool and I liked it a lot. It was very unique and elegant. It was also very affordable. For only $1,700 you could stay there and you could eat all those free food. They had balcony. They had a swimming pool. They had a bar and a party room. It was not like anything that I had seen before. They had individual apartment with one bedroom, one bathroom, one living room and one kitchen. They could cook in it. It was like a real apartment. You could also eat in their main dining room, which was gorgeous. However, it was independent living and most of the assisted living were taken out by the people who started at the independent living. So, it was hard to come in from the outside to the assisted living because you had to start out as an independent living person. It wasn't also not a good fit for my mother because everything was far from the main dining hall.

I went with my sister to look at this community. It's beautiful and we both loved it. It was clean as a whistle and she and I are both pretty particular about things. The staff seemed to be very nice and the rooms are very good size. We were looking at a 2-bedroom, 2 baths. Her main thing now is since she fell, she needs a walk-in shower and they're hard to find. It was really very nice.

My father is here. This place is like literally 5 minutes down the road for me, so it is much more convenient. He moved in there last Saturday. A lot of the reasons why we chose this place was just the convenience of this place to where I like but I also like the surrounding around it. The grounds are just wooded area and they have a little pond there. I also like the people and everything. Everything is clean. The apartments are really nice. They're very accommodating and very nice. The staff has been very friendly and very helpful. It's early yet but I'm hoping that continues to be the case, but so far so good. I did taste their food last Sunday and it was pretty good.

My father-in-law really likes this community. He heard about it and wanted to check it out so we visited this place. It is in the area not too far from where he lives right now in Garland. It was a very nice facility. There was a creek there that runs through the area and there were also lots of shades, which was really nice. This facility is also wheelchair accessible and that's really nice as well because my father-in-law is in a wheelchair. Regarding accommodations, unfortunately, they didn't have an apartment where my father-in-law could take his little dog with him. However, they did have apartments which were already furnished with a refrigerator and a stove. They're not that big though. What I like best about this facility is the fact that they will actually check on you and make sure that you're taking your pills and that they have a 24-hour emergency response where you can hit a button there in your apartment. And plus the fact that the cafeteria was a very nice place where you can sit and socialize. It would be perfect for my father-in-law. It was Sunday when we visited and we didn't call for an appointment, but a lady there helped us. She even invited us for brunch. They had a fabulous setup where you can have lunch or breakfast. They had all kinds of nice foods and they're very good. The staff was very nice. They went out of their way being nice to my father-in-law. They even have some girls that offered to walk with him and go into the cafeteria. That surprised me. Everybody was just very nice. They have activities set up for their residents. There was something everyday for them to go to. They have dominoes, bingo, scrabble, line dance class, exercise class, jewelry making class, etc. They have Bible studies and worship service on Sundays. Also they would take you out shopping.

Everybody here was nice. However, she didn't know anyone there and she had to walk outside from the room to go to the entertainment and dinner. But the rooms were really nice. It thought it was spacious and well maintained. They had plenty of things to do there. I was able to talk to only one lady and she's nice.

We visited this community and the place was very nice. It was pretty big. They showed us one apartment and it was nice. It had all the things you wanted, the basic things and that's it. I did see the dining room and it was very nice. You can order anything on their menu. They also have a little store where you can buy foods, like milk, that you can bring back to your apartment. They also have different games for their residents. They have a little bus that takes you shopping or to your doctors.

My mother is very happily associated with this community. We chose this facility primarily because of the atmosphere and affordability. She has a one-bedroom apartment that is spacious, acceptable, and fits her needs. I'd eaten there with her when she first went in and she said it was like a five-star restaurant. She's an active senior and they've got a lot of activities that she participates in like she goes to the gym and attends Bible studies.
