Brookdale Clinton

I was exhausted, anxious, scared when my partner’s dementia progressed and then her physical health got worse- mostly because she couldn’t communicate or was unaware that she was feeling off. I was trying to be nurse, cook, counselor, recreational director. Trying to fix everything and make her happy. Nothing was working. After many doctors appointments, ambulance trips to the hospital I reached out to a place for mom and they connected me with Brookdale memory and dementia care. It save us both. She is well taken care: eating better, more active and physically and mentally. Brookdale allows more freedom and independence and entertainment. She is more engaged than at home. My partner and I enjoy each other more without the stress of me being in charge

My sister lived at Brookdale for 3 years. The people there were wonderful to her. She was in a safe, caring and happy environment. I highly recommend it.

I can’t say enough good things about Brookdale. My Mom was at the Clinton location and I only have positive things to say about this facility. The staff members truly care about the residents. In the short time my Mom was there she received amazing care from every caretaker. I felt so at ease knowing she was there, all the residents were always so well taken care of , not just my Mom. This is a great group of individuals with every bigger hearts.

The facility is lovely, and the staff are friendly and caring. The rooms are a good size. My mother enjoys the outings and musical entertainment. There is also a hair salon in the building.

Very relaxing, comforting setting!! Love the enclosed "outside" area which sits in the middle of this building!! So the residents can still go outside, enjoy the sun, etc. without having to worry that they may wander off! The food, which I never had myself, looked okay, and [name removed] didn't seem to complain too much! The rooms were kept Clean!! And the POA's decided to give her what I would call a "Suite,"the space of two rooms, especially with her having her dog & crate with her (miniature greyhound). This meant she had 2 large windows looking at the lovely countryside & 2 large closets!! One thing that [name removed] didn't like: while she had a half bathroom, the showers, etc. were not in the Room. Also, she complained that the staff would just waltz in without her inviting them in!! Same goes for the bathroom!! A staff member even opened up the bathroom door while I was using "the Best Seat" in the House!! When it came to activities, most times she was watching TV!! [name removed] , who was a retired College Professor (English), was truly Bored. Thankfully, she made 2 friendships that gave her some joy!! There was a staff member, who either took the dog Daisy out by herself or at times walked the dog with [name removed]!! (Cost extra for that Service) Note: They did have a wonderfully paved sidewalk/path, which encircled the Building!! Of Course, the Big Plus to this private enterprise was that they allowed your pet to join you!! [name removed] never married... did not have children. In addition, she was a "menopause" baby, which meant her parents & siblings were much older; thus, she lost them when she was younger!! Her dog truly was her family!!
