Feels Like Home

Im a new resident to Marbella and the transition has been very smooth. I was nervous about transitioning to community living but I have felt welcomed from the moment I toured. The staff is happy, engaging, and very helpful. I am making friends and am excited about my first outing as a group.

I love Living Here

I have been a resident since it was [community removed]. This community was recently taken over and the new team and management have been exceptional. Independent living feels like independent living again - they are taking the time to move the right residents in unlike [community removed]. Chef [name removed] listens to our meal concerns and delivers quality. Activities and outings are great, and the staff is always pleasant and helpful. So happy to be here.

Absolutely gorgeous community. They recently went through a refresh of the building and it is so bright and inviting now compared to the old [community removed]. The Courtyard with the Koi Pond is my favorite feature. The staff and residents were so kind and happy. [name removed] and [name removed] are incredibly helpful and answered all of our questions and concerns.

We would not recommend people to visit your place at the moment, due to the fact that you refurbish your place at the present time. It will look much better in a few weeks when the whole place will be lighter with bright colors, new flooring and furniture. We enjoyed our tour as well as the courtyard. The whole atmosphere was lively and friendly; residents seem to be happy and actively involved at the time we visited. Negative: Elevator not ventilated. Questions: - Can residents remain in assisted living till the end of their life? - Is there a maximum level of care cost. I imagine this will go up while we're staying there. -Can assisted living residents intermingle with independent residents, and visit the front outdoor deck?

I Made the right decision to move here.

I moved into Brookdale Independent Living in [date removed]. I chose Brookdale after touring several facilities in New Mexico, Colorado, Oklahoma, and Nevada. I saw the somewhat outdated building, and apartments without a lot of amenities, and Brookdale was not as up to date as some of the other places. These items were important to me, but the decision was easy, because the staff was so open and welcoming. The residents were friendly and welcoming. The vas majority of them were happy. I had to have a total hip replacement after living here for 4 months. When I returned from the hospital, the executive director met me at the car with a company wheelchair and personally wheeled me back to my apartment. She left the chair in my apartment just in case I needed it. She also reminded me that I could call the kitchen and and have meals delivered to my room. The staff at this facility are excellent. If you should tour this facility, I would be glad to discuss my experiences here in depth

Brookdale Santa Fe Review

I would tell others to: Eat the food ahead of time before moving in Ask for better maintenance and cleaning It's a hard job what the caretakers do and they are underpaid With that said Some were more responsive Some just didn't care There was human hair in the stairwell for over 2 weeks The list is long

Brookdale Santa Fe

I have been working here at Brookdale Santa Fe for about 6.5 years because it is the best company in the nation providing senior living services to our elder population. Brookdale is sincerely concerned about the wellbeing of all its associates, residents and families. I have worked at other senior living communities and their is no comparison - Brookdale Santa Fe is the best.

Homey and friendly

My mother in law has been happy at Brookdale. They have lots of activities, something for everyone. She is getting her meals and meds on time, and the staff seem to really care. The center courtyard is lovely.
