3.4 · 21 reviewsMy father in law has Vascular dementia and Alzheimers. He resides at Brookdale memory care in Portage,MI. My mother-in-law pays a lot of money to have him cared for there. She pays $1,550 for them to feed him and $1,362 for him to be checked if he is wet every 2 hours. Today I went to help her because he was soaking wet for over 2 hours. When she arrived at 10am he was soaking wet. She asked an aide to change him. They did not come for over 2 hours. We went to the dining room after and we fed him.

My father in law has Vascular dementia and Alzheimers. He resides at Brookdale memory care in Portage,MI. My mother-in-law pays a lot of money to have him cared for there. She pays $1,550 for them to feed him and $1,362 for him to be checked if he is wet every 2 hours. Today I went to help her because he was soaking wet for over 2 hours. When she arrived at 10am he was soaking wet. She asked an aide to change him. They did not come for over 2 hours. We went to the dining room after and we fed him. There was no one available to feed him. The poor lady next to him did not eat, because she did not have family there to feed her. She kept trying to feed herself, you could tell she was hungry. But she couldn't get it to her mouth. She was sitting there for over an hour with no assistance. This makes me sick to my stomach. I wanted to cry. These families are spending all of this money for things that are not being done. This is not the place you want to leave your loved one at. They should be ashamed of themselves for charging people for services and not following through with it.
We are so happy with the care our mother is receiving at Brookdale Memory Care. The staff is exceptional and treats her with respect. We couldn’t ask for a better community for our mom!
Appears brookdale deleted a lot of their reviews in an attempt to get their rating back up. you have to be vigilant and check on old reviews now days because Google is letting more and more companies do this. But, nonetheless I wouldn’t recommend their memory care wing to ANYONE! the independent living side is a little better but the memory care sign is short staffed, undersupplied, & the issues are endless. They have like a 32 bed facility and they run 4-5 staff & one nurse. The turnover at the top is outrageous and just in general. The main issue lies in running a shift w/ 32 dementia…

They have like a 32 bed facility and they run 4-5 staff & one nurse. The turnover at the top is outrageous and just in general. The main issue lies in running a shift w/ 32 dementia patients and few staff, people are sitting in waste, people who need assist feeding are unable to get fed, the list is endless. I do not recommend brookdale or any place who constantly has senior level turnover to anyone.

Excellent experience on behalf of an alzheimer patients family member. Brookdale provided an excellent experience and kept my mother safe in her new environment!!!
Kind, gentle, patient and informative! Cleanliness, staff, setup of building is what stuck out over other places.
Do not send your loved ones here! My Grandpa lived in the memory care area from 2021 to 2023. The executive directors lasted for a maximum of three months and continually cycled. They appeared short staffed, and the majority of the workers were ambivalent. For a memory care facility, they appeared ill-equipped to deal with basic sundowning and dementia behaviors. They sent my grandpa to the ER multiple times for agitation. Their threshold for sending him was very low, and it just seemed like they didn't want to deal with him. They even once sent him to the ER shirtless and without any identifying paperwork (I am not sure what would have happened if we hadn't come). We watched most of the residents who had been living there with him get moved out by their families. We ended up moving my grandpa to a new facility, and we regretted not doing it sooner!
My Mother was reluctant to make this life change but the staff at Brookdale has treated her with respect and kindness as she has settled in to her new home. She loves watching the birds and both the front porch and the back patio gardens. She is thrilled with the home cooked menu and her physical care needs are being met fully. The social setting has allowed her freedom to develop new friendships while maintaining her own level of privacy and independence . All of the staff has been welcoming and helpful to our family as we visit Mom often in her new home!
I would recommend. We picked this community, for our loved one because of the value for money,[name removed], the marketing director was skilled at answering questions without being pushy. We felt very comfortable with her.
