"Florida's Assisted Living: High Demand, Low Supply"

This place might be like other locations around here. My biggest tip is to avoid aging in Florida. Too many people are in need and sadly, there just isn't enough assistance or funds to give them the help required.

"Mixed Experience at Assisted Living"

The people in charge don't communicate well. They don't call back. But the caregivers are friendly and try their best to assist everyone in Memory Care.

"Caring Transition with Personal Touch at Assisted Living Facility"

The staff was really helpful when moving my Aunt to a new place, even though we couldn't be there. They found furniture to make her feel at home, and one person even brought in a TV for her. They serve three meals every day. My Aunt stays in the memory care unit, so I'm not there during mealtime. The staff tells me she sometimes prefers to eat in her room, and they are willing to provide different meals when she asks.

"Positive Experience at Assisted Living Facility"

We've really liked this place. Our whole family thinks it's beautiful and the staff are always cheerful and friendly. The person in charge of sales and marketing has been fantastic. The business office has been fine too. We did have some problems with the home office about billing. For two months, they charged us more than they were supposed to for rent, which made my loved one very worried. The first time, they gave the money back to him. The second time, they applied it to the next month's rent. I think that's all sorted out now, I hope so! What impressed us right away at this place was our tour guide. She was really enthusiastic and seemed genuinely interested in showing us around and giving us information. She was very sincere and was greeted by several residents during the tour who seemed to really like her. They also accept VA Aid and Attendance here, which has been very helpful for us! That has started now, but before it did they were great about working with us and our budget. My loved one has been very happy with the food. They also have a good variety of activities, and he enjoys them. The communication with our family has been good. Overall, I think we made a really good choice. It's been a great experience so far. I would definitely recommend them to family and friends.

"Assisted Living Tour Pleasant but Ordinary, Staff Great"

Our visit to Wickshire Port Orange was enjoyable, and the staff were excellent. However, we didn't find anything remarkable; we were hoping for something more unique.

"Mixed feelings"

Our visit to Wickshire Port Orange was pleasant. The tour impressed us, and their offerings were appealing. However, it didn't feel like the right fit for Mom.

"Community Offers Value, Limited Outings During Pandemic"

I recommend checking out this community for your loved one. I’ve already suggested it to friends. The price is reasonable for what you get. However, due to the pandemic, there might be fewer community outings.

"Mixed Experience at Assisted Living Facility"

The people at the front desk and a few nurses were always friendly, but the business manager could be rude and unhelpful. The salesman who gave us a virtual tour was nice and helpful. We noticed the food had a lot of carbs.

"Brookdale Yorktowne's Fall Accidents and High Costs"

I picked Brookdale at Yorktowne for my mom's assisted living, since it was quite a nice place and didn't seem too expensive when compared to other places nearby. My mom had been having some issues with falling at home recently and seems more and more mixed up, not really able to take care of herself much anymore. I don't live in the same state, so I wasn't really in the know about the local assisted living places. Anyway, after looking into a few places and visiting some, I chose Brookdale because they reassured me they could take good care of my mom. I told them that I was worried that she might fall again and let them know she can get confused and needs to be checked on to make sure she's safe and not fallen in her room. However, on her second day there, she fell in the bathroom when she was left alone. Even though I had made it clear to them that she was most likely to fall in the bathroom when she would try to get up and put on her adult diaper. It doesn't seem like this info was given to the aid who was looking after her though. Because of that fall she ended up needing stitches in her forehead. Then she fell a second and third time. They told us that we should hire full time personal aides to stay with her to prevent any more falls. These aides cost $17.00/hour, in addition to the monthly $3200.00 charges to live at Brookdale. It quickly became clear that Brookdale wasn't going to be the right place for my mom, it was just too costly. Luckily, we found another place where she's been getting the care she needs and hasn't fallen once in , unlike at Brookdale where she had 3 falls in a few days. I think Brookdale is probably okay for someone who's more aware and doesn't fall so much, but don't believe them when they tell you they can take care of someone who's confused and falls a lot. They really can't. You're better off looking elsewhere.

"Really an Impressive Place"

My uncle is very happy at Brookdale Yorktown. He is in the assisted living area, which is very nice and clean. The staff are friendly and caring, and I'm impressed they even remember my name when I visit. My uncle enjoys eating in the dining room and socializing with other residents. He likes the menu except for the fish, but there are plenty of other options. They keep the residents busy with activities like Friday Happy Hour with a DJ, entertainment, sometimes a speaker, and even wine if allowed. Saturdays have an Ice Cream Social, and they have an active calendar so residents know what to expect. They also offer transportation to doctor appointments, shopping, and grocery stores within a certain time frame, with special arrangements made ahead of time. I would definitely recommend Brookdale Yorktown to my friends and family.

"Great care and activities in a clean community!"

I really like the care at this community. The staff are friendly and always keep me updated about any changes. I appreciate that the community is clean and has a nice atmosphere. I also enjoy the menu, and it’s great to know my friend likes the variety of food. They offer many activities for the residents. We definitely recommend this community for its care and value!

"Great facility, wonderful staff, just needs better orientation!"

This is a great place, and my mom enjoys living here. She wishes there were more active residents or activities like crafts and flower arranging, and she’d like more challenging exercise classes. But she’s very active for 94, so the program is likely perfect for most. The staff is amazing and really made her feel at home. One thing they could improve is providing a formal orientation on the first day, covering things like sign-in/out, trash, laundry, and health concerns. Highly recommended!

"A Beautiful and Caring Community"

So far, my mom's move to this community has been pretty good. It's still early, but everything is going well. She's still getting used to the routine here. Overall, I know she's safe, and they care about her. It's a beautiful place, and I would recommend it.

"Potential Improvements Needed at Assisted Living Facility"

My buddy was living in this place. The cleanliness and upkeep were not up to par as they should have been. The employees were okay, with a few standing out positively. The meals could have certainly been better. Activities were offered to him, but he chose not to take part. I have relocated my buddy closer to where I live and he's doing a lot better now. I would advise families to visit this place before deciding to bring their loved one here.

"Great care and staff, minor issue with the pharmacy system"

Brookdale Yorktowne is a fantastic nursing facility. The staff is very helpful and great to work with! The management team is always available and really supportive. My only issue has been with the inflexible pharmaceutical system. We would definitely recommend Brookdale Yorktowne.

3.5/5.00 Published 8 years ago

"Friendly Place, with Room for Improvement"

I believe Brookdale Yorktowne is a pleasant place. The facility is always clean, and the staff members are friendly. However, they recently changed ownership, which caused some challenges as everyone adjusts to the new system. It can be a bit tricky to reach specific people. Overall, it's a nice place.

"Avoid Brookdale Yorktown: A Granddaughter's Heartbreaking Tale"

I'm sharing this reluctantly as my beloved grandma is now in my spare bedroom preparing to depart from this life. My grandma took a nasty fall at Brookdale Yorktown’s memory care unit on January 8, 2016, Friday night. She was driven to the ER, but I didn't hear about it until Hospice gave me a call the next morning. Apparently, Brookdale Yorktown hadn't bothered to inform me. My grandma was so severely injured - suffering a broken C2 vertebra and a hematoma at the back of her head from the fall. If you recall, this was the same type of injury that ended the life. When I called Brookdale Yorktown on January 9, I couldn’t get a hold of any authority figures. Even the reception desk was unattended. I managed to pass on a message and to my surprise, I received a call back after just 3 minutes. My grandma, closely watched by Hospice, was moved back to Brookdale Yorktown later that afternoon. However, the facility seemed to have made no effort to see if she can return. When I moved her home on January 11, I noticed a giant bruise on her left thigh that wasn't there before. It was so large it extended from her hip to her knee. It seems like another fall the facility didn't inform me about. They also won't disclose the circumstances surrounding her devastating C2 fall. All we know is no one saw it occur. Just so you know, Brookdale Yorktown is currently staffed bare bones, with overworked and underpaid personnel. Recently, the director in charge walked out without any warning. My grandma was admitted to this facility in August 2015 due to Alzheimer's Disease. Despite paying for level one care, it seems we were looking after her more than they were. For instance, we often cleaned her room and even cleaned up after her roommate. Sadly, my grandma's health has become even worse due to the fall; she now has critical brain bleeding. Please reconsider before choosing this facility. Meanwhile, they were shameless enough to show potential residents her room while she was still in it, with Hospice at her side. Their lack of respect is appalling. Thank you for reading. A priest will be visiting us later today to administer my grandma's last rites. Please think twice about this facility - you wouldn't want your loved ones' final moments to occur here. Take care.

"Exasperated: Overbilling and Neglect at Assisted Living Facility"

This place might've been great once, but it's starting to look pretty beat up. Lots of the staff are nice, but I've been pulling my hair out over crazy high bills. They've charged us too much for everything - from unnecessary meds to personal services. This has been going on for six months and it's more than $700 a month. Trying to sort out these mistakes has been a nightmare. It's so bad, I wonder if they're doing it on purpose. They agree that they've messed up, but nothing's changing. Locals say it's the company's fault and the bills keep coming. It's been a huge pain dealing with insurance because of this. The building's pretty gross, too. The carpet's old and dirty and there's this green, moldy stuff growing on the siding. I wish I'd picked a different place before dropping a ton of money on a non-refundable fee they sprung on us at the last minute. I feel really bad for the staff and even worse for the residents who can't sort out these problems themselves. If you want a place that can handle simple stuff without a fuss, you might wanna look somewhere else. I've spent way too much time trying to fix my dad's billing issues and other problems that should've been sorted with one call. I'm so let down, annoyed and absolutely not happy with this place.

"Great place for future care!"

What a great place! I really wish it had worked out for my mother-in-law. I’m so grateful for all the help and care the staff gave us. I hope my kids choose Emeritus as my forever home when I need one. Thank you to everyone!

"First Visit at Emeritus: A Disappointing Preview"

My tour at Emeritus was kinda wild. They didn't have an empty room to show us around. While we were there, a lady living there took a tumble. We didn't really get to check out much of the place because we were stuck in the meeting room the whole time. It didn't give me a positive vibe right away.

"Great care with friendly staff and equal daily coverage!"

We've been really happy with Emeritus at Port Orange! The staff are super friendly and do a great job with what they have. I really like that instead of having separate weekday and weekend staff, they spread everyone's schedules out so there's good coverage every day of the week. We would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for senior care in the area!

"Great Place for Loved Ones!"

Things have gone well at Emeritus at Port Orange so far. We visited a lot of places while looking, and this one was our favorite! The staff are all very friendly, and even though it was a big change, my loved one is getting used to it. The place is clean and well taken care of, they have lots of fun activities, and the food and dining service are fantastic!

"Warm and Welcoming Community"

I'm so impressed with this assisted living facility! The activities department is top-notch, always planning something fun. As soon as you walk in, you feel right at home. The staff greets you with a smile and makes you feel like family. The community looks great too! The food is delicious, and parking is never a problem.

"Disappointing Visit and Unpleasant Lunch at Assisted Living Facility"

Review: The visit and meal at this assisted living place was disappointing. Terrible food. Tired, rundown look all over the place. Senior residents there seemed bored and neglected. The staff did not seem caring or attentive. Even the cleanliness was questionable. Honestly, a depressing experience overall.

"Bright but Cramped Assisted Living"

It felt nice and sunny, but the space was cramped with just a refrigerator and a sink. It seemed more like a studio. Plus, it cost more, and the rooms were tiny.

"Decent Facility, Lacking Great Communication"

We had our folks at this place for a short two weeks, but it wasn't the right fit, so we shifted them elsewhere. I don't think it's an awful place, it's decent, but I hoped for a better level of communication.

"Great Activities and Care for Memory Care Residents"

I'm not sure about the value since I haven't seen other places. But the activities here are great. My sister-in-law is in memory care, and she has her own room. They have activities like setting tables, singing, and watching TV together. They also join the assisted living residents to enjoy performances from visitors.

"Awesome Place, But Fees?"

I liked the place a lot, and I thought Mom and Dad would be happy there. But the monthly fees might be too much. It's a shame because the place is awesome.

"Friendly Aides and Caregivers"

After a short stay at another place, my family members were fortunate to find a perfect apartment at Emeritus at Port Orange. Overall, our experience with Emeritus has been very positive. The aides and caregivers are friendly, know the residents by name, and are diligent about distributing medications. The meals here are also excellent; unlike the previous facility, there's more variety and selection.

"Great Assisted Living with Friendly Staff!"

Really nice place! They serve three meals a day, keep everything clean, and handle laundry. They offer different levels of care and even provide information about Veteran Aid Outreach. The large studio costs $2800, and the shared suite (also known as the friendship suite) is $2200.

4/5.00 Published 11 years ago

"Affordable Assisted Living with Great Amenities"

Studios are $2,725 and 1-bedroom apartments are $3,400. They have housekeeping and serve 3 meals a day. There's a nurse and doctor on call. They offer lots of fun activities and provide transportation. They have different payment options too. Everyone is very friendly.
