"Inadequate Care at Costly Assisted Living"

I had a disappointing time with the assisted living place. They said my wife needed the highest level of care, which costs more and means she should get two helpers whenever she needs them. But she hardly ever got two helpers, and she didn’t even need them except for showers. I told the bosses she wasn’t getting the services we’re paying for and asked for a lower price. They wouldn’t think about changing her care level or the price until after a month. They’re supposed to tell us the names of the medicines they give her, but the staff didn’t know what they were handing out. We’ve told them over and over not to mix her Parkinson’s medicine with her meals because it makes the medicine not work. They didn’t listen. They don’t have enough staff, and my wife often had to wait a long time, like half an hour to an hour, for someone to come when she rang for help. This was especially bad at meal times because there’s only one helper for each floor, and they were too busy helping others to the dining room to respond. Sending people to this place isn’t right; it’s a big letdown.

"Cramped and Smelly, Brookdale Clairemont Disappoints on Tour"

We went to Brookdale Clairemont for a tour and it stunk. It was so cramped, you needed elevators to hit the rooms. The rooms were tiny and had no great views, just walls. My grandma would've had to share her bathroom with a stranger. The carpet was kinda dirty looking, and the whole place smelled awful. There wasn't even parking for folks coming to visit. All they had was a tiny garden for the residents to walk in. None of the people living there looked really happy or smiled once. I even saw some in wheelchairs who looked abandoned in the corridors. The workers were nice, but I don't suggest it. Anyone can find a better place.

"Warm and Active Living at Brookdale Clairemont"

I’ve been living at Brookdale Clairemont for nearly 2 years. They’ve got fun activities planned by the activity manager, which keeps things interesting. The staff here is really nice, and they’ve been working on making the food better with a new chef. I especially love going on our bus trips. Overall, it’s been a great experience here!

"Older Facility with Inaccessible Showers"

Our family visited the Brookdale Clairemont for a tour. The place and the apartments looked pretty old. The showers didn’t have wheelchair access, so we decided it wasn’t right for our family member.

"Could Use More Staffing, Overall Good Experience"

This place has been pretty good for us. The staff have communicated well with our family. Sometimes it took longer than we hoped to get answers to our questions. They serve three meals a day to the residents, and residents can choose from different options. It seems like they could use more staff to help take care of the residents.

"Not Impressed with Smelly Assisted Living Facility"

I visited this place, and honestly, I wouldn't suggest it. The cost was lower than many others, but the whole facility smelled like pee, and we weren't impressed.
