Wonderful place for your loved ones

My dad entered Brookdale Assisted Living in Monroe soon after my mother passed. Needless to say it was a difficult time for him. I could not be happier with the care he has received from the staff there. [Names Removed] are constantly being helpful whenever the need arises. The caring and compassion is obvious. I never have to wait for a responses to my phone calls texts or emails. Two times when my dad had to go to rehab all he talked about was getting back to Brookdale. He says he is so much happier in Brookdale than any other place. I recommend it to anyone that is looking for themselves or their family. There is also a lot of activity going on including parties for birthdays and other special occasions. My dad gives the food a good review. That’s high praise for someone who is about to turn 100 and has eaten in quite a few places.?? I heard all good things when we were looking for a place for him. I have not been disappointed. More importantly, neither has my dad!

The tour went well. First we chatted about my loved one and myself, his wife. We surveyed the building and discussed the daily routines and some of the positive effects on the patients. Will tour once more with my daughters before my decision.

Our experience

I would give them a 5 across the board. I have been very pleased. It's very well maintained. There is never any odor anywhere. Most of the staff has been there for a very long time, which means a lot. Nightmare stories about other places. People and policies keep changing in some of these other facilities, which is very difficult for the patient and the family. I looked at several facilities before choosing Brookdale Monroe. My husband has been there almost a year and we have no regrets about our decision. From the first day everyone has made my husband and Me feel welcome and at home.

Review for Brookdale Monroe

Get clear instructions on how laundry is handled, who has the get it together and who has to put it away once returned. Also, determine who has to change bedding, when, and how many sets of sheets and blankets are recommended. Overall, I would have to say that this facility was better than the other facilities I visited. Felt staff were more involved with the residents

. A great community that feels like home

The staff knows residents name but also recognizes family members and calls them by name. They seek out my mother to try and get her to engage in activities. They also communicate with me regularly.

Warm and welcoming

They have beautifully decorated the facility for the holidays. There's a serious effort to keep it looking as non-institutional as possible. From the first time I entered Brookdale Monroe, I felt it was warm and homey. Everyone comments on how beautiful my husband's apartment is and the staff is amazing.

She is happy there, and made friends...whole new life for her and she is never alone. The staff is very nice and helpful. Food and food service could be better. More outings would be nice. But overall a good place to live.

Brookdale Monroe review

It should be noted that my parents were only there for a temporary stay and returned home in [date removed] . Overall they really liked the staff with the exception of one of the nurses that they didn't care for. The food definitely needs improvement. About half the time they didn't get what they ordered. Most times food was served like warm or cold. Their biggest complaint by far was the food.

Overall our families experience was good and I would recommend.

Overall - it was great. The management team (name removed and our sales contact Lori, who is no longer there) made this a great experience for us. My only complaint is staffing shortages sometimes made meal times slow and responsiveness slow, but everyone was so friendly, kind and caring. I am happy we picked Brookdale. On friendliness of staff - I gave 3.5 because of some issues my dad had with some pushy staff members but my sense is that was not the norm there and may have been more a personality conflict . Overall our families experience was good and I would recommend. Moving someone you love into an assisted living is not easy, and while no place is perfect, Brookdale was there for me and my family at one of the most difficult times. Barbara and Lori were our Angels on earth helping make the transition as smooth as possible. Also when my dad passed, they were kind, compassionate and helped me through the initial process. I'm so thankful I called a place for mom and found Brookdale.

They try very hard to make the residents happy

They try to engage the residents with activities. Also they try really hard to fix any issues that you might have and staff also listens to any concerns you have about your loved one. Overall I’m saturated with Brookdale.

Definitely recommended

I would definitely recommend Brookdale Monroe. My loved one is a resident in the Memory Care unit. The staff is wonderful and they're doing the best that they can, given very hard circumstances. They've all been very helpful and very caring and I would definitely recommend them to anybody in the future.

staff is awesome, especially memory care, and facility is clean and cozy!

Staff is very professional and friendly. In memory care, [name removed] the director of social activities is the greatest human I ever encountered. They go above and beyond to meet needs of residents, especially the challenging ones! I wish memory care had a separate section for the highly functioning residents and a separate section for severe residents, that would probably fix a lot is issues, including the food.

Highly recommend Brookdale.

It was an amazing experience. She unfortunately came down with pneumonia last September and declined bed bound and then ended up on hospice and couldn't return. The staff at Brookdale Monroe were very attentive and kept me very informed and were super polite and even would check in with me when she was no longer a resident.

The staff are wonderful and caring, except for the physical therapy people, who don't want to deal with memory care residents, or don't know how to handle them! The food is acceptable and the activities can keep you busy. The quality of care for me is basically acceptable. The doctor comes once a week, two RNs, two LPn, and the rest are CNAs!

Review for Brookdale Monroe

For the most part, Brookdale offers a pleasant, caring community with many amenities. It's clean, the food is good, the majority of the staff are pleasant and helpful. They have counselors to help residents navigate the multitude of emotions residents often face while adjusting to their new environment. There are doctors available round the clock. The staff is approachable and compassionate. We feel good about Brookdale and the care they afford our parents.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know New Jersey’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about New Jersey’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
