"Quick Response from Assisted Living Facility"

Make sure you know the monthly costs. I had to decide quickly because my loved one didn’t want to live alone anymore, and I’m still working. The facility called back promptly.

"Mixed Review of Assisted Living Facility"

The apartments were tiny. It's good for seniors needing help. Inside looked nice, but outside lacked walking spots on busy street.

"Needs Improvement: Unpleasant Smell and Cleanliness Issues"

Brookdale Anaheim’s guest bathroom had dried poop everywhere, it also seemed like it wasn’t well-maintained, and there was a smelly odor all around.

"Underwhelming Tour Experience at Budget Assisted Living Facility"

Our family went for a tour, but it felt like they weren't ready. They kinda just showed us around without much planning. We weren't really impressed with the place, but it was the cheapest one we saw.

"Great Memory Care with Active Lifestyle and Excellent Services"

This place is really clean. The person who runs the Memory Care part is awesome. If I could rate her higher, I totally would. They do laundry and clean the house twice a week. There are always things to do here, like activities and exercise.

"Friendly Staff and Flexible Services"

The community took great care of her, providing medicine and patience when she wasn't feeling well. Housekeeping kept her room clean, and laundry services were excellent. Receptionists were always friendly, and the sales department was flexible with move-in and move-out dates.

"Chose Livelier Community Over Outdated Brookdale"

When we visited Brookdale Anaheim, it felt really old-fashioned. It didn’t seem as tidy as the place we picked, and there weren’t many fun things to do. I think the folks living there were much older and needed more help than what my mom needs. The place we decided on has people who are still full of life. They dress up nice, they like to look good, and they’re happy there. That’s why we went with a different place instead of Brookdale.

4/5.00 Published 2 years ago

"Great Assisted Living with Pet-Friendly Amenities!"

I recommend this place. It’s missing a waiver for social security folks, though. Housekeeping and laundry happen once a week. The food is really good, and they offer transportation to doctor appointments. The building has three floors, and pets are allowed.

"Great Staff, But Some Safety and Design Issues"

There are some good things and some bad things. Some things have bothered me, but I think this is the safest place for my loved one right now. He would disagree, but he's going through some big changes in life. One thing he doesn't understand is why the floor is just thin carpet on concrete, so every time he falls, he hits hard. One thing that bothers me is the bathroom. The only support rods are big, smooth ones at an angle. If your hand is a little damp, you slide. I think that's a problem with government planning, but it doesn't make sense for any healthcare place to use that. Also, in the building diagram, there's a large patio in the center. To get to the other side, you have to go around green space instead of a straight path. This is concerning for emergencies and bad weather. If you cut across, you pass by dog waste because people don't clean up after their pets. But my loved one's apartment is set up pretty well. We had to bring a lot of furniture, but they shared some things from their store room. The reception area and the staff there have been great. Even when I call, I get the same friendly people who do their job well. I like all the staff I've met; they're very friendly.

"Great experience with Brookdale; staff is patient and communicative"

Overall, we had a positive experience at Brookdale. The staff was patient and answered all our questions. Communication between the staff and our family was great. I would suggest this community to others.

"Nice Staff, But Dark Interior and High Price"

The person who I talked to was really nice and pleasant. It's cool that they take care of both assisted living and memory care. I didn't really like that the inside of the building looked old and not bright, it kind of bummed me out. Eventually, I found another place that cost less and was neater inside.

4/5.00 Published 6 years ago

"Mixed Experience with Staff Availability"

The people living here are friendly and like to socialize. Unfortunately, no staff member was around to show me around even though I had an appointment. That made me unhappy, but the receptionist was really helpful.

"Great Assisted Living Option with Good Facilities and Availability"

Today, my sister and I checked out Brookdale Anaheim, and we liked it. Their Memory Care unit has space for 20 residents, and right now, there are open beds. Since my sister is very sociable, this place might be a better fit for her compared to the smaller place with just 6 residents. As for costs, both the smaller and larger facilities are quite pricey. The Memory Care setup seemed good for 20 residents with an activities room, dining area, a small sitting space for one-on-one therapy, and a patio. The room we saw was spacious enough for one person but would also be comfortable if shared. It had its own bathroom with a separate sink and shower, and the shower was large and easy to get into. Because of the distance, we plan to visit Brookdale Garden Grove and a few more places closer to home.

"Great Community"

We visited this place while searching for a home for my family member. I found it to be a great community, but it was pricier than some other options we considered. Ultimately, we went with my mother's preferred choice.

"When Seeking a Community"

I visited the community, but it didn't feel as upgraded as I expected. Luckily, I discovered A Place For Mom to assist me in finding a community.

"Happy mother-in-law, clean place, helpful staff; recommendable!"

My mother-in-law is happy here. Staff is helpful, place is clean.

4.5/5.00 Published 7 years ago

"Small, caring staff, perfect size for personal attention"

I picked Brookdale Memory Care because it's smaller. Other places were more modern but too big, and I worried my dad might get lost. Here, there’s a community feel, and the staff are really caring and helpful. It costs less than many other places too, but the main reason I chose it was the size. I believe he gets better, more personal attention here.

"Grandma enjoys activities and staff, with some food concerns"

Grandma really likes the director and the dining room staff. She enjoys the food, but thinks the portions are a bit small. She participates in daily activities like church group, Bible study, and chair aerobics. She also thinks the bus driver is great. The community is clean and has nice landscaping. I would recommend this place.

4.5/5.00 Published 7 years ago

"Friendly Atmosphere and Cleanliness Make This Community Stand Out"

We really liked this place because of the friendly atmosphere. The community is always clean and well-kept. The food looks good with a lot of choices. We think families should visit this community to see how they take care of loved ones.

5/5.00 Published 7 years ago

"Great tour, friendly staff, but location wasn't right"

I was really impressed with the tour of this place for my loved one. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and they took their time with us. They answered all our questions and gave us lots of useful information about the facility. It was very clean and had many nice features. It just wasn't the right location for us.

4/5.00 Published 7 years ago

"Clean and Friendly Assisted Living, Not Quite Right for Mom"

I really liked visiting this place. It was super clean and tidy, and everything looked well taken care of. There were so many cool things for the people who live there to do, and the big spaces where everyone can hang out were awesome. The food they serve seemed pretty good too, with lots of healthy choices. Overall, it seemed like a really nice spot, but it just didn't end up being the perfect fit for my mom.

5/5.00 Published 7 years ago

"Wonderful experience for my parents!"

This place has been amazing for my parents. The staff is wonderful and really takes the time to care for my mom and get to know her personally. I’m so happy with how things are going, and I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone.

4/5.00 Published 7 years ago

"Mom Loves Assisted Living!"

My mom was nervous about moving to assisted living, but now she's happy! She enjoys morning prayers and other activities. We think it's a great fit for her.

4.5/5.00 Published 7 years ago

"A nice, clean community!"

When I visited Brookdale Anaheim, I found it to be a very nice community. The place was clean and well-kept. The tour guide answered all my questions and gave me helpful information.

"Happy, Healthy Community with Attentive Staff and Improving Meals"

I visited the community and saw happy, healthy residents who were more active. Their menu had appetizers, soups, salads, and different basic protein meals. After moving my mom in, it's been going very well. The staff is friendly and quite attentive. The place feels safe, clean, and secure. There's a small complaint about the meat being overcooked, but it seems they're working on it, which is promising.

5/5.00 Published 8 years ago

"Almost Like Home!"

Things are going well for my mom since she moved to Brookdale. It’s not home, but it’s pretty close. I like visiting there. The place is clean and organized. There are some stains on the carpet, probably from the food service, but they do a deep carpet cleaning once a month. I’ve eaten there twice, and the meals are great—definitely a well-balanced diet. The doctors and nurses are nice. When I visit, they always have activities like music, Wii bowling, and other games. Whenever something breaks or we have an issue, they fix it right away. We are very happy!

"Rather Generic, But Affordable"

My family member checked out this place and thought it wasn't as good as we wanted. It looks old and a bit dark. But, it was clean and the folks she met were cool. It was also one of the cheaper spots around.

4/5.00 Published 8 years ago

"Decent tour, missing kitchenettes, clean community, second choice."

This place was okay. The people who showed us around were friendly. But, the rooms didn't have kitchenettes, which we wanted. Everything looked tidy, though.

4/5.00 Published 8 years ago

"Great Place for Loved Ones"

The place is super nice. The staff are really friendly and helpful. Everything is kept really clean, and there are lots of fun activities. I'd definitely suggest it to other families.

5/5.00 Published 8 years ago

"Very nice and caring place!"

We're really happy with how things have gone at Brookdale Anaheim! The building is bright, nicely decorated, and always very clean. The staff here is so caring! They always check on Dad to make sure he’s going to all the activities and meals! I’d highly recommend this place!

"Brookdale Anaheim: Good Staff but Needs Upgrades!"

The people who showed us around Brookdale Anaheim were super nice and knew a lot about the place. They answered all my questions. But, Brookdale Anaheim could use some updates and repairs, it's looking a bit old. Fixing it up could make it feel more comfortable.

4/5.00 Published 8 years ago

"Decent Community with Room for Improvement, Overall Satisfactory"

My mom's doing well here. She's adjusted fine. The place is mostly clean, but could be better. Staff's nice and helpful, but could improve too. Activities available, but mom hasn't tried any. She likes the food, it's good. I know she's getting good care. She feels safe here and I'd suggest it.

5/5.00 Published 8 years ago

"Great Staff and Happy Residents"

The staff is super friendly. The residents seem really happy and healthy. The sit-down dining and menu options are very impressive. I strongly recommend this senior living community.

5/5.00 Published 8 years ago

"Great place with friendly staff and fun activities!"

This is a large, clean facility that always smells fresh. The dining room is big and comfortable, with really good food. The staff is kind and gentle, which is perfect for seniors. Each resident has a beeper they can use to get help anytime. There are lots of fun activities for residents. Monica, the property manager, is reliable, sweet, and caring—just right for this place. I highly recommend it. Plus, it's pet-friendly too!

4/5.00 Published 8 years ago

"Dad Is Thriving"

Things are going great for my dad at this place. The staff takes good care of him, and I'm really happy with everything they've done for us. He enjoys being here, and they offer fun activities and tasty food. Overall, I'd recommend it.

"Upsides Outweigh Uncertain Activities at Assisted Living Facility"

The events can be unpredictable, they're often not held as planned. The employees are nice and the person in charge of sales was really helpful. Everything went smoothly, the meals are tasty, and overall everything is on the up and up.

4/5.00 Published 9 years ago

"The Genuine Brookdale Anaheim"

The only real issue I've faced is getting tasks done. I need help with my coffee table, hanging pictures, and adding a little balcony fencing. It's quite challenging to find assistance. Otherwise, the place is fantastic! The staff is friendly and caring, the food options are delightful, and fellow residents are helpful. A great community!

"More activities needed for assisted living, overall satisfactory experience"

Brookdale Anaheim is doing okay. At first, Mom struggled a lot. She felt upset because she didn't want to stay there. Some days she feels okay, other days not so much. I wish there were more things to do here. Especially for those in memory care who can't join in many activities. But overall, Mom says the staff here are really nice.

"Welcoming Atmosphere: Brookdale Anaheim Assisted Living Review"

The people at Brookdale Anaheim are super nice. The place looks really good. I was hesitant at first because the neighborhood isn't great, but once inside, it's nice and worth it. Mom wasn't keen on moving there initially, but she's settled in nicely and is happy.

5/5.00 Published 9 years ago

"Very comfortable with mom's stay; rooms are nice size"

I felt really good about having my mom here. The rooms are really nice and a good size.

5/5.00 Published 9 years ago

"Quick and accommodating service, very impressed!"

We've made a lot of special requests, and they've said yes to everything. They weren't crazy requests, but they really tried hard to meet our needs. They've been quick to respond to all our requests, and that's what really impresses me.

5/5.00 Published 9 years ago

"Friendly Community with Helpful Staff!"

This is a very friendly place. When you walk in, you’re greeted right away. The caregivers are really helpful. They’ve been great with my husband, even though he can be a bit difficult. If I ever needed assisted living, I’d want to live here. Another family I know also thinks Brookdale Anaheim is amazing. It’s a great place!

5/5.00 Published 9 years ago

"Highly Recommend, Food Needs a Little Work"

They get in touch right away if something happens. The food in the Alzheimer’s care unit could be better, but everything else is really good.

4/5.00 Published 9 years ago

"I'm Content"

Some of the office staff haven't done what they promised; they're slow to respond. But the other staff members are great, and there are activities and transportation available. The place is clean and bright, not gloomy like some others we considered. The food varies—sometimes good, sometimes not. Overall, I'm happy.

"Review of Emeritus Assisted Living in Anaheim A Satisfied Choice"

A few months ago, my sister and I realized that we couldn’t care for our 95-year-old mother anymore. With heavy hearts, I started looking for assisted living options for her. At that time, she was living in Carpinteria, CA with my sister. We decided to move her to the Anaheim area, where I live, so she could be closer to her many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren. I was directed to Emeritus in Anaheim and went to check it out. Everyone there was very friendly and answered all my questions. They have a memory care unit, which seemed like the best fit for our needs since my mother has dementia and had a stroke in January 2014. We moved her in mid-August. The first few weeks were tough for mom, but thanks to the caring and understanding staff, she has adjusted well and seems happy now. The only thing she complains about is that the showers are always too cold. My sister and I are really pleased with Emeritus. My only concern is that some of the caretakers could be more attentive. There is always room for improvement, but nothing is ever perfect. Overall, I’m happy with our choice and would highly recommend Emeritus.

5/5.00 Published 10 years ago

"Caring Staff and Good Care for My Loved One"

I don't know much about the activities here. Before moving in, check the actual costs because care costs more than just rent. Their prices are a bit high. There are outdoor areas. I think they are very caring and have been good to my loved one.

5/5.00 Published 10 years ago

"Excellent experience—staff is fantastic, and father-in-law is happy!"

My personal experience was great. I feel at ease knowing my father-in-law is in a clean and safe place. The staff is wonderful and sincere. My husband, sister-in-law, and father-in-law toured the facility together, and it was his choice to live here. He’s happy, and I’m so grateful. Five stars from our family to Emeritus Fairwood in Anaheim, CA.

"Everything is going very well! I've found my home."

Things are going great! I've eaten a few meals there, and the food is tasty. The staff could work on better communication with families. Unlike other places with cold linoleum floors, this one feels like home. That's why we picked it.

4/5.00 Published 10 years ago

"Friendly Staff and Fun Activities"

I like how nice the staff is. They are always friendly when I visit, and my mom likes them a lot. My mom also enjoys the food! They have lots of activities like day trips, history talks, arts and crafts, and games.

4/5.00 Published 11 years ago

"Nice Location Choice"

This place was nice, but we picked a different Emeritus because it's closer to where I live.

"Fine"

It was okay, but it wasn't as near the hospital as we hoped.

1.5/5.00 Published 11 years ago

"Inadequate Memory Care, Unpleasant Living Conditions"

Our hopes for this place were not met in reality. There were a ton of minor issues, and despite their best efforts, they just couldn't make it work. I think we need to search for a place that's more suitable. Our main concern was with the memory care specifically. Sadly, it's not a pleasant environment. It's very small and not appealing. Although clean, it's simply too tiny and feels crammed. The rooms themselves are barely furnished and just feel distasteful, that's the reason we're moving. The staff is alright, I suppose. However, they didn't seem to put much effort into engaging the residents in any activities.

5/5.00 Published 11 years ago

"Amazing Staff and Fun Activities!"

We picked Emeritus because of the staff. They make the community special. The whole staff knows all the residents by name and they work great together. They act like a family and show their passion for what they do. They seem to really enjoy working here and caring for the elderly is their calling. We checked out 10 other places and narrowed it down to 3, then let my mom choose. The residents seem really happy and stay active. They offer a lot of activities and encourage residents to join, but they don’t force them. One fun activity is a Wii Bowling League where they compete against other communities. The residents love it and get really involved. They also have a Wii Bowling Tournament just for the residents here. My mom was thinking of moving to Arizona, but after seeing the property and talking with us, she decided to stay. She was recently diagnosed with dementia but is still very active. The community worked with us and let her stay in assisted living instead of the memory care unit, which gave her more chances to socialize. Because she is active and socializing, she is doing better than before. Before moving here, she was in a skilled nursing facility, and the staff from Emeritus would visit her every week just to say “Hi.” This made the transition easier because she already felt comfortable with them. She is used to being waited on quickly, so it’s taking her some time to adjust, but they explain things to her and help with anything she needs. They could make the transition even easier with a welcome package that has a checklist of things to do when moving in, so first-timers have a smoother transition. They offer great value because they provide more and better services for similar prices. We recommend it to any elderly person we talk to. We have a friend getting home care and have told her about this community, and she is thinking about looking into it. It’s located between Anaheim and Buena Park, about 5 minutes from the freeway, and you can see Knott’s Berry Farm from the community. We are very pleased and highly recommend it to anyone.

It's okay. Stay away from Chatsworth! Photos aren't welcoming. But, Anaheim feels good.

"Mixed Experience with Staff Friendliness"

The person at the Front Desk wasn’t as friendly as I expected. However, the Director and one of the other managers were very friendly and helpful.

" 'Great program and staff, but pricy and slightly chaotic'"

The program is excellent and the staff are helpful, but it's too pricey considering the environment. It also feels slightly disorganized.

4/5.00 Published 11 years ago

"Lunch and Tour with the Director"

Met with the Director for lunch and a tour. We liked the facility, and the shared room is more within our budget. But I'm not sure if my mom would like the setup.

"Nice facility, very informative; missed residents due to event"

The facility is really nice and very informative. I visited in the evening, so I couldn’t see the residents because there was an event happening.

5/5.00 Published 12 years ago

"Amazing Staff and Great Facility!"

The staff here are amazing. We love the facility! The Director is a big help to this community, just like everyone else we met today. This is probably our place!

"This might be the spot, prices good"

This might be the spot. Prices are reasonable, the facility is pleasant, programs are excellent, and the rooms are a good size and well-lit.
