"Friendly Staff and Fun Activities"

The staff here has been really helpful and answered all my questions. The community is full of friendly and helpful people. It's been easy to make friends. There are lots of fun activities for us to do.

"Good Activities, But Food Quality Needs Improvement"

Before I moved to Cogir at Fremont about two years ago, I stayed in another similar place for a year and know a lot about different facilities like this. Fairly, I would give 5 stars to the activities and the person who runs them. But on the downside, there are too many socials with alcohol and gambling games like bingo and mahjong with real money. I'm not sure if that's even allowed by California State laws. The facility spends money on activities that really benefit the residents, and I appreciate that! I just hope the food gets better in quality and cooking. Too much money is spent on wine for a small number of drinkers, which affects the food quality for other residents. I would give the kitchen only one star because 80% of the lunch and dinner main dishes are made from poor quality meats, processed sandwiches, and canned foods. The dining room staff are mostly good, but some have mood swings. They do work very hard, though.

"Warm and Welcoming Assisted Living with Excellent Services"

We liked the services at Cogir a lot. It was a friendly place. Our parents loved the food and the services they got there.

"Mixed Feelings About Assisted Living Facility"

This place is pretty nice. The room itself is pleasant. I enjoy cooking and baking, so I wish they had a garbage disposal, dishwasher, and a stove with more burners. I don't like how the staff only knock once and then just come in. The food isn't that great either. There were 2-3 days when I forgot to press the "I'm not dead button," but no one called or checked on me. However, the people who work here are really friendly.

"WiFi in Common Areas and Open Dining Seating"

This place has WiFi in the common areas, which is great for staying connected. They also have open seating in the dining room, so you can choose where to sit.

"My Wife is Thriving Here"

This place is really nice. Everyone, from the staff to the residents, is super friendly. My wife likes her room, and I love seeing how much she’s improved since coming here. She enjoys the activities a lot. I even joined her for dinner one night, and we had a great time chatting with the other residents. The food was really good too. There’s a nice courtyard out back and even a small swimming pool.

"Senior-friendly Brookdale Fremont: Comfortable living with scenic views."

My dad loves gardening, so finding a cozy place for him was a big deal. We wanted somewhere nice outdoors. Brookdale Fremont looked great with its hills view, trees, and raised garden beds. When I first visited, everyone seemed happy, staff and residents alike. They greeted me warmly. It was the same when I brought Dad. The one-bedroom apartments are nice, especially with the bay window. Brookdale offers both independent and assisted living, which is handy. They have a good variety of food, including salads and fruit. The dining room is open from 7 am to 7 pm, but there are snacks in between meals. Service in the dining room is a bit slow sometimes, but they're trying to fix that. Moving here can be hard for seniors, but Brookdale's staff is really friendly and helpful.

"Perfect Short-Term Stay for My Recovery Needs"

I stayed at Brookdale Fremont for just 2 weeks after my hip replacement surgery. Since I live alone, I needed a place with food and care services while I recovered. The review system didn’t let me say not applicable for Care Services or Activities since I didn’t use those, but the residents I spoke to seemed to enjoy the activities. The food was great, and I was always satisfied after meals. The dining room service could use a little improvement during busy times, but management is working on it. During my short stay, I talked to many long-term residents, and no one had serious complaints. People seemed happy and proud of living there for a long time. The location was convenient for medical appointments and other errands. I only used the transportation service a couple of times, but it was personal and reliable, even better than I expected. The cost of my stay was fair, and I plan to return for future surgeries. The staff was friendly and always ready to help. It’s a great place to consider for your needs.

"Great Location, But Needs More Staff"

We like Brookdale. The food is really good, like a 5, but the service is just okay, about a 3. They seem to need more workers. The place is in a peaceful area.

"Friendly place with great food and activities!"

My mom is doing great here. She's making new friends and loves the food and activities. She's very involved. I highly recommend this place because even when there was a problem at first, they fixed it. It's been a really good experience.

"Beware: Nice at First, But Not After Sign Up"

They're initially friendly but once you're in, they treat you like a kid. Plus, it's noisy there. I'm not too pleased with them.

"Fantastic Dining and Helpful Staff Make a Great Experience"

The dining experience, from the meals to the head chef, has been great. My loved one really enjoys the activities and takes part in many of them during the week. The staff is always ready to help and make sure my mom is well taken care of.

"We Decided on This Place Right Away!"

My loved one really liked this community. As soon as we finished the tour, they knew they wanted to be here. The staff is very caring, and Linda and Cynthia have been amazing throughout the whole process. The only thing I think could be better is the communication between me and the staff. I do appreciate the exercise classes and singing activities, which my loved one enjoys.

"Mom is moving to Brookdale"

My mom is moving into Brookdale this month, and we really like it. The place is beautiful, and her apartment has new paint and carpet. The staff and residents all seem friendly, and I think she’ll make a lot of new friends, which will be great for her. We’re happy with our choice.

"Mom Chose Brookdale Fremont for Its Value"

After checking out a few places with my mom, she picked Brookdale Fremont. She liked the bigger apartment, fun activities, and thought it was the best value. She was impressed by the staff and feels good about moving there.

"Convenient and Friendly Assisted Living Facility"

This place is in a good spot, near shops and doctors. The people who work here are nice and always ready to lend a hand. The rooms are big, and there's lots of different foods to choose from. The shared spaces are tidy and nice to hang out in. But, there aren't enough washing machines for laundry. Also, the doorways are tricky for walkers, and the showers have tall edges that can be hard to step over.

"Friendly Staff and Great Amenities for Seniors!"

The staff at Brookdale were really helpful during our move. My parents haven't needed extra help yet, but the nurses are really friendly. They also offer cleaning services, like making beds and cleaning rooms. I ate with my parents there, and the food was tasty with lots of choices. Mom is doing some activities, like yoga, and we hope she gets more involved soon. I would definitely recommend this place. Also, I’m grateful for the help from A Place for Mom during this process.

"Classy, engaged community with nice facilities"

Brookdale Fremont - Fremont, CA Loved it! The place feels classy. The people seem engaged and educated. The facility is really nice. I got a great, though quick, tour. I put down a deposit to hold an apartment until Mom can see it.

"Mom's adjusting to assisted living, minor concerns but recommended."

Mom's getting used to it here. She's made friends and joins activities like I suggested. Most of the staff are nice, but some could be friendlier. A few little things worry me since Mom moved in, but overall, I'd still say it's a good place.

"Five Stars for Kind and Helpful Staff"

The administrative staff has been super helpful and everyone is really kind and cheerful. The only thing I can complain about is that the dining room needs some improvements. Other than that, everyone is kind and welcoming.

"Great place, everything handled well, no complaints."

It's really nice. We haven't had any problems or worries at all so far. Everything has been taken care of really well. They were actually cheaper than other places we checked out.

"Brookdale Can Improve"

Overall, it's a friendly and clean place. The services are good for my level of independence. However, the food needs improvement. I talked to the administrator and food manager about it today. It's not just bland; the quality, especially the salad bar, needs work. The dining room service also needs improvement. Additionally, the bus service should be available 7 days a week without extra charges.

"Friendly Staff and Nice Community"

The staff at Brookdale Fremont is very helpful and friendly. They understand my mother’s needs well. I would recommend Brookdale Fremont because it has been a good experience. Everyone here is really nice, and the friendliness is excellent. It’s a really nice community, and everything has been going well. I’m pleased with the services, and the value is pretty good. I can’t rate the care services because it doesn’t apply.

"Super nice staff and great food"

The people at Brookdale Fremont are super nice and always ready to help. The food is really good too. The only thing I don’t like is that if you go out one of the side doors, you can’t get back in and have to walk all the way to the front. I think it’s for security, but it’s kind of annoying. Other than that small issue, everything has been great.

"Brookdale, formerly Emeritus, is a great place"

Brookdale, which used to be called Emeritus, is a great place. The staff are all really nice, caring, and helpful. The apartments are a good deal, and they are working hard to make the whole place better. I would highly recommend Brookdale. Our family is very thankful for the good experiences we had there.

"Excellent Care and Service at Brookdale!"

Brookdale, formerly known as Emeritus, is a fantastic place with a team of caring, hardworking professionals. I really hope they keep up the great work!

5/5.00 Published 9 years ago

"Very happy with Emeritus great food and no worries"

I’m really pleased with Emeritus. I don’t have any worries so far. The food is ordered from a menu, and you can always get a grilled cheese sandwich if you don’t like what’s being served. Sometimes it’s just about keeping things simple when a lot of women are together, and there’s nothing better to do but complain.

"Fremont Haven: Great Spot, Food Not Hot"

I felt pretty happy with this place overall. At the beginning, the meals were tasty, but they didn’t taste as good as time went on. The spot is perfect in Fremont because it’s close to doctors, food stores, and places to shop. I’d tell people they should definitely think about living here. The one thing that bugged me was the food quality dropping.

4/5.00 Published 10 years ago

"Great Staff!"

They offer independent and assisted care. Food is decent. Limited parking. Great staff, very clean. Overall, we're happy.

"Feels Overwhelming, Like a Bustling Train Station"

The big problem with these larger places is that there's so much happening all the time. He'd get swept up in all the constant moving around of people. I'm not sure how many folks they're caring for, but it couldn't help but make me think of a busy train station.

"Perfect Place for Mom’s Flexible Schedule and Comfort"

I visited this place for my mom, who is moving from out of state to be near us. It’s a really nice facility with great central areas, a wading pool, and an atrium. The best feature is their "anytime" dining option, which is perfect for my mom since she’s a night owl and dislikes strict meal times. She’s now on the waitlist to move in!

"Nice place with central activity rooms and wading pool."

This place is really nice. The activity rooms are in the middle. There's a wading pool in the center of the complex. It feels more like separate apartments. PG&E and phone are extra. The kitchen area has a refrigerator and a double-burner stove top.
