I had an in-person tour of Brookdale Park Place. Everyone was very polite, friendly, and professionally well-dressed. They had two bedrooms, one bedrooms, and studios. There was a large variety of rooms to choose from, so that was nice, and they were spacious. The showers and all of that were not complicated. The views were nice. They have like a natural mountain hill behind them, and wildlife comes down off the hill into their courtyard. The courtyard was large. The sunrooms for sitting and reading were very pretty. They had a library, a sitting room, and a craft room that the tenants could go to. They were very colorful and vivacious. We were considering them as the number one place for my parents. The dining area was very elegant and pretty. They have a menu that they get to order off of. I saw a couple of residents putting a puzzle together. But when I went there, they were on lockdown from the flu, and they take it very seriously. If anyone comes down with a communicable disease like that, they lock them down, and then they serve their meals to them instead of everybody milling around and getting sick, so that was good. I like the atmosphere, its cleanliness, and the people.

I toured Brookdale Park Place. What I liked about it are the rooms. The rooms are so much better than other places even the memory care rooms. They're just better, especially in assisted living. They're roomier and cozier. It's like a small apartment, either studio or a one-bedroom apartment or something like that. The one that we're planning to put my mother in here soon (we already kind of signed up and did that) is like a little small studio. It's all that my mother needs. In assisted living, you have a small microwave, a refrigerator, and a sink, too. The staff is willing to answer your questions and everything really easy and they take their time. The staff who toured us was patient. She answered questions. She was friendly and addressed concerns. I like that it's a nice clean environment compared to other places. It's comfortable and spacious. I like the cleanliness and how much space there is and everything.

We visited Brookdale Park Place. The intake staff was very pleasant, knowledgeable, very caring, and helpful. They continue to help me even though we're not ready for that level of care yet. Once we had determined that my aunt is not ready for that level of care, we didn't go far into the amenities. I didn't want to take up too much of their time, but they have been helpful to me via the phone for just general information (even after my tour, and even after we decided she wasn't ready for that facility yet). It's been very helpful.

Brookdale Park Place was really nice but it was a really, really bad experience because the main lady who runs the place was really, really rude to us. I brought my baby to take a tour and she basically told me that I had to leave and was very, very upsetting that she acted that way, so definitely the least and honest star that I could give is what I would give them because of that. It was really bad and it made us feel really weird. It was nice but an older building. There's one lady that was really nice, but the main lady was really bad.

We lived in Brookdale Park Place for a couple of months, but it didn't work out for us. They assist you with what they want to assist you with, not with what you need. The two-bedroom apartment we had was satisfactory and roomy, and we had no problem with it. The food was very good, although it was the same old same old. They could have done a little better with the things going on, it's a little too routine. If you look at the activities this week, it's the same as last week except for the dates. There wasn't much going on as far as taking the residents out. There was a Saint Patrick's parade. They could have taken some seniors to that on the bus, so it's kind of a boring experience. It wasn't so bad for us because we have a car. We can go somewhere whenever we want, and if we get tired of the food we can eat elsewhere, but a lot of the residents there can't do the same. They have a dog over there, and they also allow you to have pets. We were up on the third floor, which meant we have to go down to the elevator. We would take the dogs out for the last time before we sleep, and it was tough because you had to be dressed to do that. We were trying to get somebody to take the dogs out, but the staff didn't do that. Then they said they would do that but they would charge us $6 a month. Most of the activities were with a computer. They had music and singing along with the computer. I play the piano, so when I was there I would play the piano and people would come in and sing or dance. We were there three months, and there were people from outside maybe only three times. They can reach out into the community, and get people to come in and provide a little bit of variety. Every Tuesday you can get your nails done, and there's a meeting club although nobody went to it. It was very boring, although there's a lot that can be done with to make it nicer. They have printed menu every day, and three of the five entrees they offer were the same every day. There's not much variety and on the three months we were there we never had a green salad. They need to do something with the security doors, they lock them at around 7:30 at night, but they don't work properly. The feeling I got is that they kind of nickel-and-dime you. They deliver meals to you, and then after half a month they would charge you $5.50 for each meal for each person delivered. The meals were cold, so it was really bad. You'd get a slice of pie, and it would be in a Styrofoam cup and be a sliver of a slice.

I chose Brookdale Park Place because it was just what I wanted. There were a lot of things to do there. The rooms were small, but I can manage it. Everything looked pretty clean and the people seemed to be nice there.

Brookdale Park Place was a big, nice place, and the rooms were very beautiful, but I think my mom would have gotten lost in there because it was a very big place and not what I was looking for. They had a lot of activities like discussion groups, exercises, and arts and crafts. The staff was pleasant.

My mother stayed for 3 months at Brookdale Park Place. They seem to be really nice people, and the place was very clean and very well-organized. However, they have a lot of hired young women who are very attentive to all their residents, but they charge $20 for everything they do. If they see you walking somewhere, they'd help you, and before long, $20 is on your bill. They do help you with shower and straightening up -- which is something you ask them to do -- so you're happy to pay the $20. When you're walking somewhere or carrying laundry to the laundry room, they'd go "Let me help you," and since the residents are elderly, they'd think they're just being nice. But my mother's bill in one month's time was $500. She also fell in her apartment. Her light was on, the string for her call button broke. and she was on the floor all night. Nobody came the entire night even when the emergency light was on. They found her the next morning and sent her to the hospital. The people seemed really nice, and it's a beautiful facility, but they didn't attend to my mom when she had an emergency; people go by that room at all times because it's on the way to the dining room, and it’s not very far from the front desk.

Brookdale Park Place is the place we would probably use if we had to choose, but my parents thought the two-bedroom was a little too small and weren’t receptive to it at all. Everybody was friendly. I went out of my way and shook hands with the elderly gentlemen that were there. I was extremely happy with everything. They had an in-house beauty salon, movie room, arts and crafts room, and a library. Their cafeteria was outstanding. They had more activities than I can even recall. I would recommend it to anybody.

The grounds at Brookdale Park Place were beautiful and well kept. The rooms were smaller and older but very clean. The staff was very friendly and enthusiastic. This would have been our second choice.

The people at Brookdale Park Place are very professional and provide good service. Everybody is so helpful and caring. It has a very homey atmosphere. Mom’s room is very nice and somewhat small but has everything that she needs. They have activities every day, like cards, quilting, pizza parties, popcorn socials, and dances. I have tried their food, and it is very good. Mom likes the food, too. The staff is very caring, always on top of everything, and has top-notch work ethics.

My wife has been in Brookdale Park Place for over a month now. They seem to be doing a good job, and I don't have any complaints. She is in a mental ward, and right now she is getting hospice benefits. The meals are good. She can't escape, and she is adjusting pretty well. It's a beautiful setting, and it is well manicured. They have a lot of programs for the people who live there.

My parents are at Park Place. The main reason why we picked this place is that the room that was available looked out into the woods, and my parents really missed living in the woods. They are very nice and very well organized as well. The staff seemed to be very attentive. The thing my mother was interested in was that she loves to sing, and they have music. They have church services, too, and that also attracted both of them.

Other than some of the amenities being a little dated, I was impressed with what Park Place had to offer. If I was to move my mom someplace out this way, it probably would have been in Park Place. It has a close association with a nursing home nearby, and they handle a lot of people with different physical and mental needs. I was super impressed by the lady that showed me the campus and things. She was professional and genuinely caring on whether my mom would be a fit there. I was really impressed by her and the community. The rooms that I saw I felt were kept up well, but it is kind of an aging facility, or at least the building that I saw wasn't real modern. There were a lot of different sizes in the layout of the room. They were kept up well, but there was just not a lot of uniformity to the size. The main dining room area was very well kept. Other than being an older facility with less uniformity in the rooms, they were kept in good conditions. The main dining room was clean and well organized, and the residents looked happy. I haven't had a meal there, although I was invited to. If I was to make a second visit to decide whether or not to move a family member there, I would most definitely have a meal. I didn't get a calendar, but these places all kind of run a similar kind of thing. I think they actually have a mobile library come in and setup within their dining area which is something new to me. They also have a chorus like a choir that the residents can join. It seems like they have a good social calendar. They having different levels of care from very independent to kind of assisted living to more dependent impressed me the most. It was impressive to me that they would do both manage medication -- which they deliver to the residents -- as well as a med box for the residents that were more independent. They would offer the service of stocking a weekly med box. The continuum of care and the medication management impressed me the most. The campus looks kind of like a college campus with well-kept grounds.

We met with one of the administrators of Park Place, and we just really liked how she interacted. She gave us a really nice tour. We asked questions, and they are really good about answering everything. The staff is great. We love the people who cook. They come out and interact with the people and talk with them. It is just great. We just love it because they are all really friendly. They had a great welcome team for mom.  They had some people at her door the first morning she was there encouraging her to come out for breakfast, and she is really doing well there. She has only been there for about a week and a half. The facility is just really nice. They have a lot of places for the people to sit during the day. There are people playing games or doing puzzles at a table. There is always a counter with fruits, cookies, coffee, and tea. They have activities like Wii Bowling tournaments, exercises, and art programs.

Park Place is a big place, and the people that I talked to on the staff were very creative. The ones I got to talked to were in the office and one supervisor was very courteous, and they gave me a lot of information. I talked to others that lived there, and they liked it. They have their own dining room. The room that I saw was a little bit smaller, but it has a bed in the front room. I have heard that you have to go out to another place for laundry. It looked clean to me.

Park Place is an older brick-type building with lovely grounds. There were a lot of great things about it, but I didn’t choose it because of the price. The staff was not straightforward; they did not give us all the information, and when we took my mother there, she liked the place and we were going to fill out the paperwork to have her lived there and they said she would have to pay on her own utilities so we said no. They were dishonest about that at the beginning. We needed to be sure that everything is known, and they need to do some remodeling over there. Each person pays $4000 a month; they should at least put in new carpeting and paint the walls, because it smells like an old building.

Park Place was very favourable and the staff seemed very good. The rooms seemed very clean and it is a very nice layout. I like the fact that it was really clean and the layout was very accessible to somebody that is in a wheelchair and they were very friendly. It’s a multiple-story building but it has elevators and wide halls, and it was good.

Park Place is an older facility, and I didn’t particularly care for this place when I visited it. I wasn’t impressed with the rooms. They were small, and it had kind of a funky smell. It looked clean, but it didn’t smell clean. The salesman guy was really high pressure. They call you and call you, so it bugged me, and I really don’t like that at all.

Park Place was another very nice looking facility. It was a very large place. The sanitation and layout of the place looked good. The two drawbacks would be: the price was considerably higher than where my mom was staying, and my mother would be sharing a room with another person. However, the room was fairly large. The place looked very clean and the staff was very friendly. They had a very nice, large dining room.

Dad is in Park Place. We choose because it is close by and recommended by others. He is able to get around the facility a little easier. It is very clean and very organized. The nursing staff is hopeful and cooperative. They are great. He is living in a one-bedroom apartment. He has a small kitchen facility complete with refrigerator, a small microwave and a small sink. He has a full bath with walk-in shower and a lot of bar to enable him to use the bath and shower. It is a basic apartment but complete for his needs. The dining room is very nice. My dad was not satisfied with the food at first, but they have a better chef and things have improved. They bring his food in his room where he eats because he is self-conscious as he is having difficulty holding his fork and feed himself. They have tons of activities. They have buses to go to doctor's appointments, if needed. They have outings and they go to different parks, museums and even Christmas lights sightings. They also have interior activities. They have an activity room and they encourage all residents to go and participate in exercises, newspaper readings, bingo and movies. They have everything to promote friendships and camaraderie. This is his first place of residents and so far, it's been great. We have no complaints.

The staff at Park Place were very helpful and very knowledgeable. They knew some information on how she could get additional money from the VA. They were unbelievably wonderful. When we visit there, the staff knew every single resident and in fact would greet them by their names. They had a welcoming program when mom got in there. Their activities were also awesome. They have movie nights, go to outings, have picnics for the residents as well as their families. I would highly recommend them to others. What I also liked about this facility is that mom is at the independent living right now, but if she needs to go to assisted living, it would still be in the same facility.

My dad is at Park Place and I think it's a fine place. It's more than what he needs. I think there maintenance is doing a good job. The staff are very nice. My dad doesn't like the food. My dad likes more options with regards to the men. The apartments are really, really small also.

We visit my mother in law at Park Place every few months. The grounds are lovely and park like, my children enjoy spending time outside each time we visit. the staff is very friendly as well. The most important part, my mother in law loves living at Par Place. She is very found of her living space and enjoys eating meals in the dinning room. Even more than that living at the Park has given her a feeing of safety and comfort that we all wish for those we love. In the time that she has lived at Park Place, she has made new friends. She now enjoys an active social life. All in all we have been very please with Park Place and would recommend it to anyone looking for a safe, secure, lovely, friendly home for themselves or a loved one. We look forward to the next time we visit Park Place.
