Experience at Brookdale Valencia

Overall Brookdale is excellent. I have had more problems since my mom was moved from independent to assisted care. The assisted care seems to not communicate as well as when she was in independent and [name removed] was getting extra care for her. [name removed] at Brookdale at home is excellent. She loves the meals and the extra activities. Like I said they do not get back to you in assisted living if you have questions.

Experience with Brookdale Valencia

The courtyard could really make a difference if they put something other than gravel so people could walk around, put picnic benches, shade, flowers. Why have a courtyard that can’t be used? It could really make a difference to these people to have an outside gathering place to socialize and would take little effort. It really is pretty dumpy. They apparently weren’t keeping good records on the driving part of their facility causing the scenic drives offered on the weekends to be on hold now for 2 months and who knows how much longer. They need a sitting area for people who pick up their meals because these old people can’t stand at the counter for long periods of time. Their communication with new people and their families needs work, I’ve asked for an appointment to have some of the services offered explained to me in detail but no appointment is ever made so I’m still in the dark about some things. Dining staff is excellent, they check up on mom often and keep an eye out for her. Music/hh day is very nice. Maybe add one more day per week of this?

Regulations being ignored

Do not move your loved one into the Assisted living side, the ED does not care about regulations and is not being open to staff about them. Ed having staff working in unsafe conditions for them as well as the resident.

Review for Brookdale Valencia

The one-bedroom apartment is adequate. Remember to downsize your belongings and be prepared to remove some items from your personal inventory. The staff is well motivated and strives for excellence. The kitchen staff identified my special dietary requirements before I had my first meal. The community has a small therapy pool. It was built around 1990, but the amenities are up to date. It requires a lot of walking to get around, so I use my walker. There are lots of side activities available. Like any social group, some people like you and some do not. Of those that do not, I am glad they tell me to my face. Real registered service animals are accepted. If you have a pet, be prepared to care for it and clean up after it, as there is a monthly pet fee. Like any other apartment building, there are daily issues that come up, so patience is important. Biweekly housekeeping and recycling pickup are available. All meals are provided in both assisted living and independent living. I only keep medications and filtered water in my full-sized refrigerator, and I have not touched my canned goods. Independent living means you have the ability to care for yourself. The apartments have full kitchens, but no dishwashers. Some apartments also have apartment-sized washers and dryers.

I like the place a lot but they have been having some recent issues. There are no rides to appointments currently because they wrecked the van. Events have been cancelled etc. I also know my MIL is still hesitant to get involved so I am hopeful. I would still recommend it to others. Staff is great. Executive director knows everyone by name and they all work hard to make people feel welcome. I feel safe with her there

Seamless transition for mom.

It was an incredibly easy transition for my mom and she is so happy there. She's meeting people, eating well and the staff has been welcoming and responsive. Apartment is perfect size for her needs. The indoor and outdoor spaces are welcoming and well-maintained. She loves all the choices of amenities and that she doesn't feel pressured to participate when she doesn't want to.

Wonderful community for my mother

My mom chose this place because her mother went here and she was familiar with it. They have treated my mother wonderfully and I can't say enough about how great the staff is.

One of the nurses/assistants was very rough with the residents causing much discomfort. This was physically painful. She would pick the resident up by herself instead of having someone help.

Brookdale Valencia is far better than you might expect.

My brother is very happy living at Brookdale Valencia. He feels safe unlike his last apartment which even though it was gated I suspect everyone in Albuquerque had the gate code. Brookdale has a live person opening the gate so are careful about who gets in. He enjoys good food and is quite happy with the menus there and is overjoyed not to have to cook after living alone for the past 50 years. He likes the apartment and having a cleaning service plus the maintenance people have taken care of any issues he's had. Thanks for recommending Brookdale, it's perfect for [name removed]

Would recommend.

Some of the problems stem from the fact that the Administration was all fired and new ones hired. All seems OK now. The staff are all very friendly and my Mom likes it there.

Our families experience

I like the people who work there every single one is so friendly and welcoming. It truly is a community. And some of the residents are very friendly. I like the meals and the transportation the housekeeping staff and the laundry facilities. It's been a godsend for my sister in law who is becoming more and more limited in her disability. She is very fortunate to live here.
