"Caring Staff and Fun Activities Make Mom Feel Happy and Welcomed"

The staff at the assisted living facility has been really great with my Mom. They are always kind and helpful, making sure she gets what she needs. They care a lot about her and pay attention to her. The things they plan for the residents to do are fun and there are lots of different ones to choose from. Also, they made the outside areas look really nice with recent changes, so it's pleasant to spend time there.

"Assisted Living Facility: Clean and Friendly, Food Needs Improvement"

Most staff are friendly and helpful. Facility stays clean. Food needs improvement. Residents expect better meals for the cost.

"Recommend but ask the right person for help"

I recommend Brookdale Palma Sola but make sure to ask the right person for help with questions or faxing information. I'm still unsure how to contact my sister's doctor, although she has called me. Simple questions can be asked to the everyday aids.

"Very clean, friendly staff, and great meals!"

Brookdale Palma is a very clean place, and the staff is really friendly. Our loved one always tells us how great the meals and dining service are. We believe the price is fair, and based on our experience, we would recommend it to other families.

"Long wait for meals due to staffing issues."

My mom's only complaint is waiting over an hour for meals. I understand everyone is short staffed, like a busload of people arriving at once.

"Positive tour experience, alternative chosen for loved one's needs."

This community was nice and would have been ideal. However, after comparing options, my loved one chose another place. The tour was excellent; they showed me everything.

"Great Facility, But Menu Not Suited for Seniors"

I visited with this morning. I really liked everything about the place, including the cost. But, the food they serve didn't seem appropriate for older people, especially those with high blood pressure and cholesterol. Sadly, I've decided to cross this place off my list.

"Great tour, loved the facility and room options!"

I just had my tour with [name] this morning. I loved everything about the facility, the room choices, and the prices.

"Survived the Hurricane Without Damage"

I feel really comfortable with the care my mom gets here. She enjoys being with other residents and doing activities. During the hurricane, they kept everyone safe and powered up. The staff handled it well and were professional. They're kind and responsive to concerns. The food isn't Mom's favorite, but I found it good. The rooms are a bit small, but Mom's comfortable, and that's what matters.

"Good Community, Nice Tour, Found Better Location"

I visited this place, and it was really nice. The people who work there were friendly and ready to help. The person who showed me around told me a lot of useful stuff and answered all my questions. Everything looked clean and organized. But I ended up choosing a different place that's better for my family.

"Father is Doing Well at This Community"

My father really enjoys living in this community. The facility is nice, and I feel good about his move here. I know he is safe and cared for. The staff is friendly and kind, and they help when needed. Every time I visit, everything looks nice and well taken care of. He loves the meals, and the food is good. They have plenty of activities for the residents. He is doing well, and this was a good move for him. I would recommend this place.

"Had to Remove Mom from Brookdale Palma Sola! Terrible Conditions!"

I yanked my mom out of Brookdale Palma Sola in less than three weeks. Problems included: 1) Dirty building 2) Awful meals 3) Broken commitments about help 4) Couldn't call the place at certain times of the day.

"Great Place for Dad and His Dog"

They have lots of activities to do. The food is okay, and they keep the place clean. I am happy with the staff. They are friendly and helpful, and we communicate well. We liked that Dad could keep his dog. His room has a sliding door, so we put in a doggy door. This place seemed the best for pets. I would recommend this place.

""

A Place for Mom was our first call, and within minutes, I got my first call and about eight emails. From there, the staff at Brookdale Palma Sola have been amazing! They couldn't be more loving and caring toward our 93-year-old loved one. They made the paperwork and moving process as easy as possible! If you're looking for a place for your loved one, stop by and meet the staff at Brookdale Palma Sola. It’s only been a week, and the entire staff feels like family!

"Disappointed but Pleased: Mom's Assisted Living Experience"

My mom stayed at the assisted living place for two nights. The people who worked there were really kind to us and took good care of my mom. Everything was great, but we wished she could have had the full experience. However, she did eventually get to join the wheelchair exercise class, which was nice.

"Improvements Needed at Brookdale Palma Sola Assisted Living Facility"

The Brookdale Palma Sola could be better. Most staff are helpful, but one nurse isn't. She's loud and rude, complaining about residents. When Mom hurt her ankle, the nurse said there were no band aids. That seems odd. The food was good, but now it's not as good. There are fewer kitchen staff and a new chef. When I visit, I see nurses serving food. They should focus on care. The place is clean, but they could help new residents more.

"Good, but not Great"

Overall, the staff is helpful and friendly. There are a few 'sour apples,' though, who have made it challenging to settle my parent in. These individuals seem to create barriers instead of going the extra mile like others. Despite this, we believe the place is safe, clean, and a good value. However, they should consider letting go of one particular staff member. The facility is also currently understaffed, and employees appear overwhelmed and hurried. Dealing with the elderly requires patience, and the front area can sometimes be chaotic. If they address these issues, the place could earn a solid 5 stars.

"Great Place to Get Settled In"

This is a nice community and everything is working out well for me here. I like this place, but I am still getting used to it. They keep everything really clean and my room looks great. I love the staff; they are very nice and super helpful. I'm meeting new people and trying new activities. The food isn't too bad. Overall, this is a nice community with nice staff.

"Great staff and easy communication!"

I really love this place! The staff goes above and beyond to help and make everyone feel welcome. It saved me from flying down, and I could easily get everything done by email."

"Pretty Okay Facility With Friendly Staff, But Could Be Better"

Emeritus at Bradenton is a pretty okay place. When my Dad first joined, the people running things seemed really nice. After he joined, though, they weren't as friendly. But the people who serve the food, fix stuff, and take care of the residents are all super friendly. My Dad says the food tastes good, and he doesn't have to wait a long time to get served. Usually, he gets to choose between two options at dinner. My Dad needed a special toilet because he has a disability, and it took them way too long to set it up. I had to complain a lot to get them to fix it. And, it seems like there are always plenty of employees during the day, but not as many at night. One time, my Dad forgot to tell them he had an appointment, and they called me right away to ask about him. But he fell in the bathroom once, and it took them a while to help him. But all things considered, it's a pretty good deal for what you pay.

"Wonderful staff and activities; needs carpet attention."

My family member lives at this facility and loves it! She always talks about how great the staff is and how they spoil her. She enjoys all the activities and says there’s so much to do that she never has enough time. When I visit, I feel very welcomed into the community and the activities. The only issue is the carpet; it has a lot of stains. Some days it looks good, but then the stains come back after a week.

"High Studio Rent and Hefty Fees at Assisted Living Facility"

The studio's rent is just too high. They're asking for $2400, or alternatively a $5000 non-refundable fee just to lower the rent by $250.

"Poor Cleaning, Slow Response Times at Assisted Living Facility"

They aren't doing great with keeping things clean. Mom's bathroom is constantly dirty. They made a lot of promises about what they would do for mom when we signed her up, but they're not living up to them. Mom sometimes has to wait up to 40 minutes when she needs to go to the bathroom because they're slow to respond. She needs a place with better-trained staff. The only good thing is there's always someone there to listen when we have complaints.
