Best decision ever made for my mom.

The overall experience has been great. The staff is wonderful, they all are nice, polite, friendly and helpful to everyone. The food is excellent and they are willing to accommodate everyone's like and dislikes and allergies. Brookdale Northshore is well maintained, and clean. There are lots of activities and outings. The apartment is very comfortable and spacious, with a small kitchen, Livingroom, bedroom, walk in closet and bathroom with a walk in shower. Housekeeping is great and accommodating to individuals likes and dislikes in the use of cleaning products.

Brookdale Northshore

About the facility

Tucked away in a quiet and serene neighborhood, Brookdale Northshore provides a vibrant independent living experience you can look forward to. Here, residents can fully embrace hassle-free living since the team manages the meals, housekeeping, home maintenance, lawn care, and other time-consuming chores. Plus, assistance with transportation can be provided if you prefer not to drive.

Best of all, the staff is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to be alerted to an emergency situation, and a security alert system is also in use to offer additional peace of mind. To provide residents with even more convenience, a general store, guest suite, and postal services are available on-site to use. Meals are served restaurant-style in the private dining room, and residents can choose from seasonal menus which include fresh, local ingredients. While you pack up your old cooking and cleaning supplies, you can enjoy peaceful days in the library or cozy living room, or have some fun in the arts and crafts studio and the game room. Lastly, the community is close to the Fred Jones Sanctuary — a botanically rich, protected area for bird watching — as well as Indian Point Fishing Park and Pier, and the...

Beyond Satisfied!

They are wonderful people and truly care about their residents. A+, 5 Star Care from the staff in the Office, food service and custodial service. The residents appear to be caring and concerned for one another's well being. I do recommend it as long as the resident is not in need of constant assistance.

Wonderful staff

I cannot say enough about the facility and the staff. The facility had been pelted by heavy hail prior to my Motherinlaws arrival. Just recently workers were everywhere repairing all the damages. They did such a great job replacing windows, carpeting, painting walls etc. The place looks great! The staff are wonderful! Everyone pitches in and helps out. [name removed] and [name removed] are very personable and kind to all the residents. Food is also great. We have eaten there multiple times and the food is always wonderful. We are truly blessed that a Home for Mom connected us Brookdale!

They are still in need of finishing renovation after hail storm. Hallways still have tired carpeting. It is my recommendation that all carpeting be removed to address a health concerns like respiratory issues from dust mites, mold and mildew in addition to urine, blood and other bodily fluid discharge that requires cleanup . This facility is well designed with ample walk in closets. Relatively quiet neighborhood. Food is comfort food. There is the choice of buffet or order from menu. The dining area is do for a remodel. It is the same look it had when I knew it as Carriage Inn. The oddly placed interior curtains are still waiting for the 70’s to retrieve them. There is no transition to assisted living and as long as I can live comfortably in my fully paid off home, I will.

Overall a great place to live

The executive director [removed name], the sales manager [removed name], the food servers, the front office and all the staff are above & beyond what we expected! No complaints at all. The only issue we have is the WiFi. It goes down constantly! My husband was an IT tech fir years & can tell you exactly what's wrong if you're interested.

A Great Place to Live

Brookdale Northshore is awesome. The staff is great and the people are very friendly. The dining room staff is awesome. There are always several choices on the menu, not just one. The food is quite tasty. I'm extremely happy living here here at Brookdale.

A great place for loved ones

All of them are 5s the overall experience was a 10 if I could give it! I couldn't have found a better place! It wasn't even an assisted living it was an independent living and Mimi declined so fast there not because of them but because of what the dr did to her & they were there to help with everything. A great place for loved ones,the older people can make friends, have their pets, play games or go to the salon there! Mimi didn't get to enjoy any of that but she did make some friends in the cafeteria! The staff would come ask Mimi if she needed wheeled down or if she would like for them to bring her lunch, she enjoyed being wheeled down and loved their food! Their food is some of the best food I have tasted!! But most importantly the staff are so loving & very caring & supportive! Like I said couldn't have found a better place! Now there were some old people I felt so bad for that didn't have family when they really needed it the staff would still come check but nothing they could do only family could do! Family is one of the most important things that Mimi had and It just broke my heart to see some people there that didn't have that support, any family there for them when they needed them really bad!

Brookdale has exceeded all my expectations

The entire staff is the friendliest, politest and most efficient group I could have ever imagined. Any and every request has been handled with superb courteous professionalism. Seriously, I am not a person that hands out compliments unless they are truly deserved. I have never encountered a group of people so deserving of high praise.

Needs Some Improvements

The staff are very friendly and will try to help whenever a request is made. Sadly the Corporation is raising rates so it is very very difficult to keep families members here and not moving them around constantly in the late years of life. The Galloway carpets need replaced, which is also on Corporate. The biggest thing is the cottages are not handicap accessible to the main building, which I would think is not legal, but again it has been brought up numerous times, but local staff hands are tied because Corporate does not allocate them enough money. Yet Corporate has no problem raising rent every year and it is usually by hundreds a month. The rates go up but there is no exercise pool, no holiday barbecues and if they have a cold trip you will have to come up with the money for that as well. Sadly, I would suggest looking right across the bridge in Corpus, where you will get more bang for your buck. As for my family we have all aged and are unable to move our loved one physically.

Very good, with room for improvement, as is the case with many places.

I would say Brookdale Northshore is a very good place, with room for improvement, as is the case with many places. I appreciate the available services and regular contact with others. Location is very good. Portland is still a place that is easy to get around and has stores, etc. to meet your needs. And the beach is close with some lesser known within blocks. I would recommend Northshore Brookdale. Value for the cost is reasonable until you factor in the meals. A great deal of the time food is served cold. Brookdale is chronically short handed in proving dining services to the table. Variety is limited. The wait staff, however, is pleasant and attempts to meet residents' needs within parameters set by administrative staff. I appreciate the socializing activities, but again activities show limited variety. Overall, my score would be 4 with areas of improvement that may be coming due to increased specialized staff (dietitian) and increased communication meetings. I have no desire to move and appreciate the socialization, activities, transportation assistance, and regular meals.

Good Experience

I would recommend you look at the community to see if this would be a good fit for your loved one. There were times that my loved one's backyard would flood due to an open sewer line. My loved one enjoyed the food. The staff were good to work with if there were any questions or concerns.
