"Please do not turn to Brookdale Foundation House for help with your loved ones. They are in the business of making money. Period. When we first inquired here, they seemed so nice and accommodating, that is UNTIL they found out we were on a budget and asked about Medicaid programs. Where at first they were willing to negotiate on rent, second-person fees, community fee, etc., the minute they found out we were not wealthy, they changed completely. The answer to every question we asked was "no," "no," "no," and they weren't so nice about it. They wanted to charge my parents nearly $7000/month in rent for a barely 600 square-foot one-bedroom apartment, a $4500 (non-refundable) community fee, and nearly $6000/month in care costs for just ONE of my parents.If you have done any research on assisted living, you will know that this exploitative and outrageous! I believe they did this to us because they knew we were in a time-crunch to find help and only wanted our money." - Cynthia…

"This brand new facility is clean and very appealing outdoors and indoors but that is where it stops. This facility has growing pain issues. The staff that started out are all gone. I see new faces daily and not so much of the old staff. High turnover. The food is terrible and the dining room is short staff always and replaced often. You maybe get your order in within a ½hr if your lucky and another ½hr to have it served to you. They don't keep the salad bar and soup freshened up. The food in memorycare is served cold most of the time and staff there have a kitchen but don't use it to warm the food. Activites for the memory care is next to nothing. The new and beaurltful salon is not in use and they don't plan to hire anyone to do hair or pedicures even though there is a chair in the salon. Their accounts receivable system sucks. They don't get around to depositing your payment by check until after late fee deadline and charge $150. I really had hopes for this place but not organized." - Anonymous…
