"Great place for independent living with support and socializing"

I think this is a great place for someone who wants their own space but doesn't want to worry about making meals or cleaning their apartment. There's also a chance for socializing. When more care is needed, it's important to talk to the caregivers often because many staff members come and go all the time.

"Review: Disappointing Facility Experience Raises Concerns"

I wish I could rate this center zero stars. I was checking it out for my mom because I care a lot for her but I can't always provide the level of care she needs while raising my young daughter. I really want my mom to live somewhere fun and active where we can visit her often. A Place for Mom helped me set up a tour, but this facility rescheduled. They were rude on the phone and criticized A Place for Mom who have been great at helping me find the best place for my mom. When they informed me about the new tour time, I called to verify if I could still come at my initial time. They said yes, but when I got there, parking was hard to find. Once I got in, the center appeared dull and run-down. I felt like the facility was just somewhere to stash the elderly.

"Great Tour at Avista Senior Living!"

Our tour at Avista Senior Living was fantastic, and the facility looked great.

"Good place, but food and smoking policies need improvement"

This is a good place for your loved one. I suggest looking into the food options more since my loved one and others don’t really like it. Smoking is not allowed inside the building, but I wish they were stricter about making sure smokers only smoke in the designated areas. The monthly fee includes laundry and housekeeping once a week.

"Mixed Feelings: Assisted Living Facility Review"

It's been a bit tough with COVID, but mostly okay. We asked them to fix some blinds, but it took a while. It'd be nice if they helped new folks meet others. Meals are brought to rooms; my loved one feels lost sometimes. They're friendly on the phone. Toilet paper in the public bathroom is often missing. No bad smells; place looks clean. Overall, I'd suggest it to others.

"Disappointing Experience at The Club at Lake Wales"

We visited The Club at Lake Wales and didn't like it. The place looked old, and there weren't many staff around. They didn't seem interested in showing us around, even though we had an appointment.

"Communication Issues at Brookdale Magnolia"

I’ve been calling Brookdale Magnolia for several days without any luck. They just won’t pick up the phone. I need to know how much it costs and when I should show up for the Covid Test. It’s really confusing why they won’t talk to me.

"Great Assisted Living Community with Awesome Staff!"

This place has been really good for my dad, and I'd totally recommend it for you or your loved one. They've got cool stuff like a program for residents with MCI, happy hour, weekly outings, movie time, and holiday activities. The staff is awesome and always around—I'm a big fan!

"Friendly Staff and Clean Community"

Remember to research, the staff was nice, and the place was clean. I'd recommend it.

"They treat us like royalty!"

This place is everything we hoped for and more. They give my sister and me everything we need and treat us like royalty. The whole place feels warm, cozy, and just like home. The food is great, the menu is great, and they have an awesome chef. You can even ask for a special meal, and they'll make it for you. For activities, they have live entertainment, lots of get-togethers, bingo, poker, and bible study. I would totally recommend this place. They give us everything we could want.

"Mixed experience but overall satisfactory; family-friendly environment"

This place has some room for improvement. It's not very clean, and the elevator floor is often sticky. Also, it could use some updates. The dog park, which looks nice online, isn't well maintained. Despite these issues, residents are generally content. They tidy up the apartments weekly, and there's a charming small patio. The dining area is lovely, and the food is good. They offer enjoyable activities like whale watching and music and dancing on Wednesdays. Overall, I'd recommend it to friends and family.

"Expect an outdated, neglectful nursing home experience."

When we first visited, the place felt like one of those dated, worn-out nursing homes. As soon as we entered, we were met with the expected, but still unpleasant, aroma. It certainly gave off vibes of a place where people are biding their time. The facility comes across as old, with no apparent efforts made to spruce it up in recent times. They really should put in more effort in maintaining it. I have no doubt this place would have made her feel uneasy. I'd advise against choosing this facility.

"Happy with Brookdale Magnolia's Care and Love"

My family and I are really happy with the love and care my husband got at Brookdale, Magnolia.

"Beautiful Community"

Brookdale Magnolia feels welcoming and looks beautiful. The staff is friendly, helpful, and knows a lot. We picked a different community due to costs being more tailored to our needs.

3/5.00 Published 7 years ago

"Phone Interaction was Professional but Not the Best Fit"

The community was fine when I was considering it. But for my dad's needs, they just weren't the best choice. They acted professionally and helpfully over the phone when we spoke. They gave me all the answers I needed to make a decision.

"Great care and smooth move—very pleased!"

My brother has been at Brookdale Magnolia for 3 weeks. The move was smooth and pleasant. The food is great, and I feel he’s getting excellent care. The staff listens well to his needs and my concerns. It has been a stress-free move.

"Husband is adjusting wonderfully!"

My husband is doing much better than I expected! He seems very happy and knows where he is. The activities director is super joyful and amazing! They have lots of activities, and he even sings now! I don't visit during meal times, but he says they have enough snacks and good portion sizes. I would definitely recommend them!

"Quiet and Caring Community"

My mom stayed at this place for a short time, but everything went smoothly for her. I really liked how peaceful it was. There were no loud noises, and everyone living there was very nice. I have to say a big thank you to the staff for all the real support and love they gave my mom.

"Convenient Location, Clean Facility, and Friendly Staff"

This place works well for my dad, and it's near my sister and me. I haven't noticed any issues with how they keep his room and the place tidy. My dad isn't participating in many activities, but we're nudging him toward the exercise class. I've noticed that the ladies here are more social and active. Overall, the staff are pretty good and suit my dad well. He has a variety of meal options, and they're mostly soft. From what I've seen, the meals are okay and pretty decent.

"Mom Loves It Here!"

My mother really likes living here. The staff is friendly and helped her settle in. She’s very happy. The place is clean and well-kept. The meals taste good, are a good size, and are always served at the right temperature. They have many activities like bingo, field trips, and other things in the lobby. We chose this place mainly because of its location, and the cost is reasonable.

"Many Great Features!!"

Brookdale Magnolia has resident parking and is pet friendly. They offer great services and activities both on and off site. The tour guide was attentive and showed me everything.

"Exceptional Activity Director"

The person in charge of activities at this place convinced me to move my loved one here. He's really great and spends extra time with my dad to make sure he's taken care of. But there are problems with unkept promises and communication between staff and me. The meals need more variety, especially different meats like chicken and turkey. Unfortunately, the nearby hospital is terrible and where my dad goes during emergencies.

"Staff at Facility: Unhelpful and Unavailable for Assistance"

The staff isn't willing to lend a hand in any way. Getting aid from anyone here is practically impossible.

"I Love It Here at Brookdale Magnolia"

I really love it here at Brookdale Magnolia. This place is amazing. Everyone is super nice and welcoming. There are fun activities all week long. The meals are really good too. Overall, I'm happy here and I would highly recommend it.

"We Appreciated This Community!"

My father-in-law stayed at this place briefly before he had to move due to his health problems. The staff were friendly, but there was an incident where he went outside, and nobody realized he had left the building. The food was okay, and the community was well-maintained.

"Overall we have been pretty happy with it."

We've had issues with maintenance and changing housekeeping days. Front staff is nice, place is clean. No complaints about food. Overall, pretty happy.

"Great Place, Highly Recommend"

The place is super clean with no trash anywhere. They keep everything nice and tidy. They have lots of activities, and my aunt might join in soon. The staff are really friendly, polite, and always ready to help my aunt with just a phone call. She loves the perfectly portioned food, especially the lemon chicken! Because the staff and community are so helpful and welcoming, I would recommend this place to anyone. Our family really likes it here.

""

The assisted living facility seems comfortable and friendly, like a beautiful woman. But what really matters is what's on the inside. Mom has been there for a few weeks, and we've helped her adjust to the new routine. Last week, things got a bit challenging, but my sister (who lives in Corona) spoke to the staff. We'll work closely with Mom to ensure she follows the procedures, and we trust that Brookdale Magnolia will improve. A Review so Far!

"Helpful and Patient Staff at Oasis Senior Living"

I moved my Dad from a place that was really bad. The staff here have been super helpful and patient with him.

5/5.00 Published 8 years ago

"Mom Loves It Here!"

This place has been amazing for my mom. Before she came here, she hardly ate anything. Now, she never misses a meal and loves the food. That's a big deal because she used to say she'd only eat "German food." Plus, she's made a lot of friends and found out there are many others like her.

"Assisted Living Facility Offers Great Meals and Activities"

This place is really nice. I enjoy the meals, served like in a restaurant. There are lots of fun activities to do, which I like. The people who live here are friendly. The parking area in the back is good, but the front faces a super busy street, which can be tough. Apart from that, I don't have any problems.

"Comfortable Transition: A Welcoming Assisted Living Community"

My mom's settling in well at Brookdale. It's taking her some time to get used to everything, but we're giving her space. The staff's been great, really helpful to her. She's made new friends and is still adjusting. The place is clean and well-run, and I love that they have lots of activities for her.

"Clean, helpful staff; patient with residents."

My mom is doing well at Brookdale Magnolia. The place is clean, and the staff is very helpful. They are polite and respectful. I’ve talked to some of the residents who sometimes feel unhappy because their families don’t visit often, but the staff is always patient and understanding.

"Perfect as is!"

I can't think of any changes needed at Brookdale Magnolia. No complaints, and overall, it’s a good place to stay.

"Great care, but better orientation would be nice."

They take great care of the residents, but I wish there was a better orientation—like a personal tour. Overall, it's been really good, and I feel at ease leaving my loved one here.

"Clean, friendly, but pricey"

I visited this place when I was checking out care options for my family member. The building was really nice and clean, and everyone who worked there was friendly and seemed like a pro. But it cost more than what we were hoping for. Still, if you're looking in the area, it's worth checking out!

"Super Friendly and Attentive!"

Brookdale Magnolia has been a super nice place for my aunt. The folks there are really friendly and pay close attention to the residents' needs.

"Nice Place but Too Pricey and Extra Features Unused"

This place looks great! It's near my brother's home, but it's too costly. Also, my mom wouldn't actually use most of the extra things they offer. This place would have been just right for her about 15 years ago.

"Great care, friendly staff, and a nice place."

Brookdale Magnolia has taken great care of my mother-in-law. She’s very happy there. The place is nice, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the care has been excellent.

"Great independent and assisted living with fun activities!"

This place offers both independent and assisted living, not a nursing home. They have lots of fun activities!

4/5.00 Published 9 years ago

"Decent facility but lacks comprehensive assistance for all residents."

My family member stayed here for some time, and it was good. This place offers both independent living and some help for those who need it, but eventually, we required more assistance than they could give. They can't force residents to do things they need to do but don't want to. Nevertheless, it's a pleasant place.

"Amazing Activities and Care at Brookdale Magnolia"

This place offers both independent and assisted living. It's not a nursing home. The activities are awesome!

"Fantastic Activities Director and Bell Instructor Makes Us Very Happy"

We have a wonderful and caring L.E.D. He helps us a lot. Jake is really fun to be with. He makes me very happy with all the activities he plans for us. He is a great director and bell instructor.

"Very attentive to her needs and welcoming atmosphere"

She's only been there a short time, but they seem very attentive to her needs. She's getting involved and making friends. For the money we're paying, you get the biggest bang for your buck. It's more like a family. Everyone makes you feel included and welcome. The atmosphere is very welcoming.

"Affordable and Pleasant"

This place is like a sister to the Emeritus where my mom currently stays. It's just 3 miles from my house in Crown Point, and it's really nice. Unfortunately, it costs about $1000 more per month, so we couldn't choose it.

5/5.00 Published 11 years ago

"Great Care, Fun Activities, and Beautiful Updated Rooms"

The cost depends on the services you choose. For us, my father-in-law is on a plan where they give him his medication twice a day and make sure he gets to all his meals. They do a lot for us, and the care is excellent. The activities are amazing! I just wish he would join in more because they’re really fun! The activity director is fantastic. Every Friday, they have a happy hour with different themes. During the week, they even take the residents out. Recently, they went on a bus to pick peaches and apricots at a farm. What I really appreciate is their communication with us. When he fell, they called us right away, even though it was late at night. They made sure he got to the hospital and back safely. They have been wonderful in helping him settle in there. They recently updated their building, and while it’s not completely finished yet, it looks beautiful! My father-in-law has a room that’s been completely renovated with granite counters, new tile flooring, new carpet, and new cabinets.

"Amazing Community!"

She loves it! It's a great place. The transition was easy for her. Everyone is super friendly and made her feel welcome. She says the food is really good. They have everything: day trips, movies, bingo, and other games. I can't think of any ways they could improve. It's a very nice place. It's a community, and they treat them like family, which is really good. If they need more help, it costs more, but I think it's very reasonable.

"Pretty Place, Poor Care and Negligible Response to Concerns."

My mom was just placed in a room and then ignored. I was really disappointed. Everything started out fine, but then it just got worse. The nurses didn't know what they were doing and didn't seem to care. On weekends, there were no helpers around. I wasn't even sure if she was getting her medicine. When the renovations began, the place went to pieces. It's a lovely building, but the care and attention were awful. I tried having a conversation with the people in charge but got nothing but a runaround.

"Clean, friendly staff, but no available rooms; prices high."

The place was really clean and the people who worked there were nice. However, they didn't have any rooms open when we wanted to move in, and they said they were doing some remodeling. Also, the cost seemed a bit too much for what we were looking for.

Asks for a fee to move in.

"Decent, Affordable Living But Mom Would Need Immediate Assistance"

This place is okay, though it feels more like a home for healing than some of the others. My Mom would need to start in assisted living right away because she uses a walker. That also means she wouldn't have her own kitchen. Still, it's not as pricey as some places. Plus, they play a lot of bridge here and I like how all residents have emergency call pendants to wear.
