"Top-notch Senior Facility Offers Modern Comfort and Exceptional Care"

Before I moved to this senior living place, I checked out four others like it. Since I've been living here, I haven't found any reason to change my mind. The place is modern, clean, and really comfortable. The staff is amazing and goes out of their way to help.

"No Transportation, Unfriendly Staff at Whispering Winds Assisted Living"

We visited Whispering Winds in Apple Valley while searching for a place for our family member. The staff seemed a bit rude, not too friendly. Also, they don't provide transportation for residents, which was a big drawback for us.

"Not quite right for our loved one, despite promising tour."

Our family visited Whispering Winds of Apple Valley in person, and it seemed like a nice place to live. However, we didn't think it was the right fit for our loved one.

"A Wonderful Assisted Living Experience"

Whispering Winds is an amazing place! Meals are good, activities aplenty. Cost comparable, but payment process clarity needed. .

"Smaller, friendly facility but lacks activities"

I visited this place while searching for a home for my mom. It’s a nice community, but not as impressive as some others I saw. I liked that it's smaller, so my mom wouldn't get lost, but it wasn’t the perfect fit. The building is clean, and the rooms have a kitchenette. The residents looked happy, but there weren’t many activities. The tour guide was friendly and knew everyone by name. I’d recommend this place to other families.

"Great place, but too expensive for me"

I lived at Brookdale for 5 years. It’s a great place. The caregivers are good and work hard. I made a lot of friends here. It’s always clean and nice. I would recommend this community. It just got too expensive for me, so I had to leave.

Our visit to Brookdale Apple Valley was decent. The employees were nice and did a great job showing us around. However, things were not as clean as we would have preferred. Also, it was a bit too expensive for our budget.

We checked out this place for help. It costs a lot but seems like a nice spot if you can afford it.

"Great place for independent seniors"

Brookdale Apple Valley is a really nice place. It worked well for my mom since she needs memory care and can't live alone. It's a great choice for a senior who is more independent.

"Friendly Staff, Nice Place, But Pricier Than Others Nearby"

My dad and I visited this place while searching for somewhere for him to stay. The workers were super nice, and the community seemed really pleasant. But, we ended up not picking it because it costs more than similar places nearby.

"Nice place but felt a bit too institutional"

I toured this place some time ago, and it was nice. It seemed like a good community for my loved one. However, it did feel a bit too institutional.

"Attention Grabbing Looks, But Lacking Proper Care!"

The place looks great, but the staff isn't really helpful. They didn't do important tasks for my loved one. The boss said they didn't have enough workers, but I don't think that's my issue to worry about. Their job is to care for my family member. They didn't help my loved one with some basic needs like proper food and position changing. My family and I went to Brookdale Apple Valley every day to make sure that our loved one was taken care of. The boss also didn't seem too eager to work with certain people I asked him to. I wouldn't suggest that others use this place.

"Nicer than others, but out of my price range"

I toured this community, and it was nicer than others. Everything looked good, and I spoke with the director, who was really helpful. Unfortunately, it was too expensive for my budget.

"Wonderful place with caring staff"

This place is beautiful with great staff who care for my mom. They keep everything very clean. Everyone is nice, and my mom is having a wonderful time. A Place For Mom has been amazing, and I appreciate how much they care about us. I would definitely recommend this place!

"Comfortable Living"

This place is awesome! It's super nice to live here. My friend lives here too, so it made it easier for me to get used to. I checked out some other places, but this one is the coolest. The food is delicious, they have a really good chef. I love playing cards and swimming in the pool here. The staff pays a lot of attention to me and they're always around when I need them.

"No problems, happy with Brookdale's staff, facility, and food"

I haven’t had any issues with them. The staff is professional, the place is clean and well-kept, and the food is good. It’s a great retirement home. We’re very happy with Brookdale so far.

"I Would Live There Myself"

Their food is excellent, but they could add more shrimp since everyone loves it. The only thing that bothered me was being in touch with one of the directors by text, and when my mom passed away after staying there for a week, I didn’t hear anything from them. It would have been nice if they reached out. Honestly, I would love to live there myself.

"Friendly Assisted Living!"

Our time at Brookdale Apple Valley has been pretty good so far. The place looks nice, and the office staff are always ready to help with any questions. My loved one hasn't been here long, but the other residents I've talked to seem happy and haven't complained.

"Clean, friendly, but pricey."

Nice place, but pricier than what we need. The staff is friendly, the environment is clean, and the decor is well done.

"Warm and Welcoming Assisted Living Experience"

This is my first time in a place like this, so I can't compare it to others. Mom says everyone is always caring and helpful. They have fun activities every day, like Wii bowling and movie nights. They even take trips sometimes. Mom's at the lowest care level, but they're always there for her. And the food? Excellent! The kitchen's open all day, so no rush for meals. It feels more like a home than just a place to stay. Overall, I'm really happy with it.

"Informative Tour, Pleased with Accommodations but Pricey - Assisted Living Review"

Our guide was super helpful and answered all our questions. The tour was fun, and we liked the rooms for seniors, but they're a bit expensive.

"Beautiful place with friendly staff and good value"

It's a beautiful place with a great staff. It’s a good value. They’ll call me if there’s any problem. The food is good. My mother-in-law picked this place because everyone was friendly, and she liked how open and pretty it was. She felt more at home here.

"Nice facility but too independent for loved one's needs."

This place was really good when we were picking. It was nice, but it was a bit too independent for my family member. They had kitchens in the rooms, so she could stay in without going to eat with others, which might not be safe for her. We wanted somewhere with a bit more help available, and more space to change as her needs got more. Still, it was really nice.

"Beautiful place, nice apartments, great food"

This place is amazing! The apartments are nice, the food is great, and it really feels like home.

"Perfect Cleanliness and Great Activities!"

I knew this place as Merrill Gardens. The cleanliness was perfect! There were always many activities for the residents. The entire facility, including the outdoor areas, was very clean, which is very important to me. My mom stayed at two of these communities, and I was very happy with both of them. They were the best!

"Father's Needs Not Fully Met No Alzheimer's/Dementia Care Available"

My dad needs a place where he can live independently, but this facility doesn't have specialized care for Alzheimer's or dementia like their other location does.

"Unstable Management and Exorbitant Prices at Assisted Living Facility"

This place is a complete mess. They've been without a manager for a year and a half. No chef for several months. They completely lacked an activities director and all they had was a vocational nurse who only caused problems. They aren't equipped with the right people or skills to help the seniors who live there. I've since moved Mom out and brought her home with me for the holidays. After that, I'm planning on finding a nursing home for her. She requires more assistance than what Merrill Gardens can offer. They had the audacity to charge Mom $610.00 every month just to give her 3 pills a day — two in the morning and one in the afternoon. Her doctor said he's never dealt with a more disorderly or unhelpful senior living facility.

"Best Assisted Living Facility We Saw"

The place was super clean and really big. The staff and manager were super nice. Even the maintenance guy was great - he could be a salesman. We liked it the best out of all the places we saw, but my in-laws decided to go back to Oregon. It was cheaper than some other places too. Overall, it was the best. The first time we visited, the manager was sick, so the maintenance guy showed us around. He showed us a room and said it would look new after the lady moved out. She must have put nails in every wall. The next time we visited, it was painted, had new carpet - it was beautiful. The living room was huge and had sliding doors to a patio. This was the best place we saw.

"Beautiful Living at Merrill Garden"

The best thing about Merrill Garden is that you can have meals whenever you want. The apartments I saw were stunning. The management was super polite during my tour, and I didn't feel any pressure at all.

"Good Assisted Living, Veterans' Benefits Focus"

Nice place, but they only focus on veterans' benefits for assistance. I visited and was impressed. Plus, it's pet-friendly!
