"Mom-Approved Community Close to Home"
I think it's great. We chose this place because it's near our house and Mom liked it the most out of all the places we looked at. We always feel welcomed when we go there, and Mom only has good things to say whenever we visit.

"Staffing Issues, But Great Care and Activities"
My friend is doing well here. Her room is big enough for her to move around in her wheelchair, and the caregiver they helped me find has been great. We stay in touch regularly. There have been a few issues, like not getting her dirty laundry done and not picking up her dirty dinner dishes when she eats in her room. I think this might be because they are a bit short-staffed. However, the staff does a really good job overall. They’ve been very helpful with my friend, making sure she can join in activities. She loves arts and crafts and even gets to go on outings in her wheelchair. I would definitely recommend taking a tour of this community.

"Communication Needs Improvement"
Overall, my loved one's stay at this Brookdale location was pretty good. The place was really clean, and the staff was super polite. My only concern was that during an emergency with my loved one, the staff and doctors didn't keep me well-informed about medications and her condition. Despite that, Brookdale is still a nice place.

"Facility Feels Too Much Like Nursing Home"
I've visited this place a few times now. It kinda feels like being in a nursing home.

"I Love This Place!"
I absolutely loved this community. The staff was very helpful and answered all my questions. They offer many activities for residents. The meals were great with good portions. We didn't choose them because of the price, but I would still recommend this community.

"Great place for your loved ones!"
The staff at Brookdale Avondale is excellent. I’m very satisfied with this facility. The team is very helpful and knows what they are doing. The care, attention, cleanliness, activities, medical support, security, location, and food are all top-notch. Moving my mother from her home of many years was hard, but the staff made it easy. I especially want to thank Dena and Bethany. They are professional, kind, and helpful. I feel comfortable knowing my mother is in her new home. I highly recommend Brookdale Avondale to anyone looking for a place for their loved ones.

"Decent in Many Ways, But Financials and Food Could Improve"
This place is decent in several ways. They could be more proactive and thorough than what we were hoping for. The payment situation looks a bit fishy to us, with some sneaky extra charges being found. She thinks the people working here are pretty cool. The food is alright, not really splendid. The other folks living here have been nice to us so far. We picked it because we really liked the location.

"Great place with caring staff!"
My loved one has only been at Brookdale Avondale for a short time, but we are very happy with everything so far! The facility is clean and well-maintained, and they treat our loved one like family. The staff is really kind and caring, and they have been great about answering our questions and helping us with any requests. I also loved how much effort they put into their holiday decorations and activities! We did have a small maintenance issue when we moved in, but overall it’s been a wonderful experience!

"Smooth Sailing So Far"
Her family stepped in and handled everything. As far as I understand, things are going smoothly. The care facility and retirement home seem excellent.

"Nice, caring community!"
We're really happy with Sterling House of Merrimac! It's a nice, clean place, and the staff is very friendly. It has a relaxed, homey feel that I thought my loved one would do well in. We checked out some fancier places, but they seemed too busy for her. The staff here feels more caring and really understands the residents.

"Very nice community but too far away"
I liked it a lot. It was really nice. We picked another place that’s closer to my home, but this one was great too. If it had been nearer, we might have chosen it. Everything was clean, and everyone was friendly.
