Brookdale Shadowlake

The room size is decent and the different houses are set up nicely so it feels like a community. The food is decent also, I've only been there once when they were serving food. There was a mixup during m move in though, the deposit check that we gave one of the staff members was misplaced, and my brother had to replace it which cost him time and money to do so which was unfortunately.

The facility was warm and welcoming… especially the staff who took time to introduce themselves and their respective roles. Lots of activities, great food options for all levels and larger rooms. It’s on the top of our list for a prospective place for Mom.

Do not recommend

Do not send anyone to Brookdale Shadowlake. They left a fallen resident on the floor all night, even the call for help. No one responded until 0715. Very poor nursing leadership. Director of nursing does not know the Board of nursing best practice law guidelines for medication management and care.

Caring staff

My father is now a resident at Brookdale Shadowlake. It was a very hard decision to go to assisted living, however it was the only option. The staff really care about the residents and truly get to know them. The facility is clean with many activities available. I never would have thought my very independent dad would settle into assisted living , but he is actually thriving. I have also made new friends with the staff too. They have made a difficult part of life much less stressful. Highly recommend Brookdale.

CAUTION...highly recommend against this location

ABSOLUTELY DO NOT PUT YOUR LOVED ONE INTO BROOKDALE SHADOWLAKE...unless you want unprofessional, dishonest, and never ending increases of your care plan price!! Majority of the care staff do not care about their job and would rather be on their phones and have no clue how to professionally communicate, they are untrained and many do not show up to work or come in late,. Fees increase frequently with "assessments", management would rather push incidences under the rug or cover than properly address with staff. I have been told numerous times "if you don't come as much you won't see the issues." Activity calendar is an illusion of what "happens" with the weekends being the worse. Food is often served barley warm or even cold. Care staff do not take allergies serious! 200% please do not put your loved on at Shadowlake .... there are much more amazing communities out there, even really close to Shadowlake!!! Don't fall for the illusion that they present you when you tour!

Review for Brookdale Shadowlake

Numerous problems with care staff especially 2:30-10:30pm and 10:30-6:30am shifts for lack of inconsistency in care and lack of proper hygienic practices. I am the daughter of the resident there (my father). I had tried numerous times to address the basic care issues and sadly they are usually met with excuses. Some staff there are consistent the case given however sadly there are known staff who consistently give inconsistent or no care.

The person who conducts the tours was unavailable for my scheduled appointment. Therefore the assistant conducted the tour. I should have been contacted and given the option to reschedule the tour or be guided by the assistant. Facility is dated. It didn’t seem to have a many activities for the residents.

Review for Brookdale Shadowlake

I would tell them to read the Google reviews. We had a HORRIBLE experience there. The staff has a high turnover rate, even in the short time we were there, we hardly saw the same face twice. The call button pendent system to get an attendant is horrible - we had a really bad experience with this and reading back through the Google reviews is has been going on for years. My mom was bed ridden by the time she got there and had horrible bed sores in a short amount of time. They were not prepared for her level of care. We put a camera in her room for two nights to verify she was not getting her night meds or a night visit. We ended up pulling her out and taking her home after about 3 of the longest weeks of my life! She passed the next day at my brother's house.

Small and personal

It was assisted living and that's never great in my opinion. My mom wasn't there long, but her time there was good. I would recommend Brookdale Shadowlake to others. Its small, and personable. The staff seemed stretched thin.

Grateful for Brookdale

Brookdale was wonderful in taking care of my husband. Unfortunately he passed away on [date removed] due to complications from aspiration pneumonia. They seemed to care about my husband. He was a stubborn crotchety old man that didn't like to be messed with and from what I saw they handled him well. He always thanked them when they were finished doing whatever.

Nice facility; room for improvement.

Overall, I think this facility really cares and tries hard to take good care of its residents. I think turnover and continued having to train new people is a problem for all facilities. Housekeeping is definitely a problem for this facility--turnover is high, quality low.

Great place for your loved one

Brookdale ShadowLake is a wonderful choice for loved one. Offers a homey feeling with 2 story houses for the residents into 4 for assisted living and one for memory care. You get to select which care you would like which is quite different from other locations. This facility is wonderful as long as advocate for them and ensure the care you care signed up for is what provided

My Brother was alright at first, but, now complains about the cost went up, food sometimes cold. Medicine has been forgotten. People who deliver washed clothes didn't hang them, just left them in a basket.

Poor Level of Care

We were lead to believe that this community could handle my mother's level of care but it soon became apparent that this was not the case. The ONLY care she received was from the hospice providers. She quickly developed bedsores because they weren't rotating her, even when Doctor's orders for rotating were sent. There were many times they skipped her medication. Their "pendant system" was a joke. The poor staff would get a notice that someone on the campus needed assistance but never knew who it was. We ended up removing my mother back home after about 3 weeks. The director acknowledged that the care was subpar and apologized.

Mostly positive

The supervisory staff (head nurse, activity director, administrator, etc) has been wonderful to work with to make my partner’s adjustment to new life as easy as possible. The kitchen is managed well and food is very good. The maintenance staff has been responsive whenever there is a problem with the TV or any other maintenance issue. However, the response time when my partner uses the call button has not been good. Sometimes it’s an hour or more before anyone comes. When my partner had the shingles, the care staff was supposed to check on him every three or four hours but that did not happen consistently even when he called them. Housekeeping has also been subpar. Facility was without a housekeeper for several weeks so care staff was filling in. The room was not vacuumed and bathroom not cleaned for over six weeks. Overall I would give the facility a grade of C.

Very friendly welcoming staff, availability of double room ultimately caused this selection. I would recommend with conditions. My loved one has been forgotten in her wheelchair three times and response time for assistance is too long.

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 Texas’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 Texas’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.
