Brookdale Senior Living Inc. Reviews

  • Jul 15, 2015

I found myself feeling sorry for the residents whose families put them in this facility. The management and staff were by far the worst I have ever worked with. The majority of the associates were very unprofessional and only there to make the money. In caring for the elderly, the job is more about the money, there is wealth in experiences you have with the residents. However, at Brookdale I met very few associates who truly cared about the residents. It makes me sick thinking about the experiences I had working here. I feel it is my duty to tell as many people as I can that this is not a facility you should consider when searching for an assisted living facility for your loved ones.

First of all their contract is bogus. It is an Emeritus contract and not a Brookdale contract.

24 hour basis medication assistance also bogus--after 10:00 pm there are no med techs to administer meds.

Since my mom has been there on several occasions the graveyard shift had only 2 people for 40 residents. This is a fire hazzard.

The grievanes website referenced in the contract is now null & void because it was Emeritus and now it's Brookdale.

They ran out of one of my mom's drugs that kept her from wandering. I made waves and now they want me to move mom because they don't want to change their care tactics.

They just also changed the codes on the doors so family of the residents have to ring the door bell to get in. Good luck with that on the graveyard shift since a lot of them are asleep and not caring for their residents.

The food is also cold by the time my mom gets her food at Brookdale Peoria Union Hills in Arizona.

Bottom line for this place......don't move your loved one there because the corporate office is full of lawyers who don't care about your loved ones.....just care about winning the law suit you will file if you leave them there long enough.

Ripoff elderly people and promise to furnish food, but does not. Won't refund deposit after one day. No medicine supplied.

BROOKDALE SENIOR LIVING merging with EMERITIS SENIOR LIVING just rated as the # 7 worst publicly owned companies in the US, by it's OWN EMPLOYEES

READ THE ARTICLE HERE IT IS:

> Employees: 49,000

> Industry: Senior living facilities

Brookdale Senior Living Inc. (NYSE: BKD) is an operator of assisted-living communities. Employees of the company are among the most miserable. Numerous current and former employees reported poor management, understaffing and high turnover. A large proportion of the company’s nearly 49,000 employees are considered part-time. Yet, several reviews cited hours well in excess of traditional part-time schedules. Some employees have expressed concern over the company’s increased focus on profits. “They’ve lost sight of their values — the bottom line comes first and the residents are last,” one reviewer said on Glassdoor.com. Despite these complaints, however, CEO Andrew Smith had a better approval rating than his counterparts at any of the other companies on this list, at 51%.

Brookdale recently announced it would merge with Emeritus Corporation, another senior living company. The companies said that after the merger, 6.5 million Americans 80 years of age and older will live in relative proximity to one of the two companies’ facilities.

My comment, this nursing home company is the McDonald's of all nursing homes, the nurses nationwide are understaffed, management in the homes hate the company. Money is all that's important. They spend a lot of money on public relations and marketing to get you to sign up, but the staff knows the truth. The nursing care is awful because they just don't care about quality or hiring enough. Stay away from the fast foods of senior care.
