    Last week, I met with Lisa, the Sales Manager, regarding placement options for my father. That…read moreinitial meeting, as well as a subsequent visit with my father, went smoothly. A nurse was then scheduled to conduct an assessment on Monday afternoon to determine whether independent or assisted living would be most appropriate. While I could not be present in person due to work obligations, I called in during the assessment to ensure I could provide support. My father answered the nurse's questions to the best of his ability, and there were no indications of issues at that time. Following the assessment, Lisa informed me that an internal review would be conducted. Today, after sending a brief follow-up text to Lisa, I received a call from your Assistant Director. During this call, I was shocked by the tone and manner in which I was addressed. I was told, in a very agitated and dismissive way, that my father would be better suited for another facility, with no further explanation. When I pressed politely for clarification, I was refused any details, spoken to in a disrespectful and aggressive manner, and ultimately hung up on. This behavior is unacceptable from any staff member, let alone someone in a leadership position. My questions were reasonable: I simply wanted to understand why there had been a sudden change after positive earlier interactions. Instead, I was treated with hostility and given no professional courtesy. I am deeply concerned that the treatment my father and I received may have been influenced by bias. As an African American family, it is difficult not to draw this conclusion when no substantive explanation was provided for such abrupt and disrespectful behavior. While I understand if their team ultimately determines that Brookdale Oak Park is not the right fit for my father, there is no justification for unprofessional and dismissive treatment. Families seeking care for their loved ones deserve transparent communication, respect, and courtesy.

My mom was averse to anything that had the word senior in it already. A serious health event accelerated my plans and I had no choice, but to force the decision and move her to Brookdale. Much of the up front decision-making was done by me. Of the options in the area, I preferred the layout, amenities and that there were both independent and assisted living options. I had tons of questions and they answered all of them, they also visited my mom in the hospital to talk about Brookdale and introduce themselves. My mom didn't like being there, to say she was downright disagreeable her first few weeks is being generous. Over time she slowly adjusted. When Covid hit, I was terrified and relieved all at once. Terrified because senior living communities were getting hit hard, relieved because I knew there would people to help her no matter what. They had strict protocols and regular updates, which I'm sure every family member greatly appreciated. When we had issues getting PPE for her medical condition, they were able to help us out. They even had staff on hand that could facilitate virtual meetings. Not seeing her for months at a time was hard, but they did their best. Over time, my mom came to adore members of the staff and they were saying great things about her (even though I knew she could be quite difficult). I'm not going to dress it up, senior living isn't cheap and assisted living is stupid expensive. Seriously, like make you nauseous every time you get the bill expensive. That said, the peace of mind knowing that she was safe and looked after was priceless. Even as my mom's health declined and she moved into hospice (they do that too), the staff was kind, compassionate, and informative.

The Wye Valley building seems comfortable enough but there are some glaring issues. 1) The meals are not very healthy or satisfying. For the price that is paid, I would expect fresher food, more variety, more flavor (I have eaten there myself a few times.) More importantly, the meals don't seem to follow appropriate dietary guidelines for seniors with health issues, i.e. most seniors. There was a brief period when the staff had a dietician that was making a real effort to make sure the food was tasty, well presented and appropriately nutritional for the individuals. But now, the food is not very good. My mother tells me about other residents complaining about the food, but are afraid to speak up. 2) The second elevator has been inoperable for months, because of needed repairs. However, and this is on Brookfield, an inspection has not yet been completed, it seems like it's been out of service most of the year. 3) Although the building is for independent living, seniors still need support and stimulation. There is a small game room and a room with an exercise bike. The staff I have encountered do well with the resources they have, but it seems like more interactive activities could be added - things that are a little more engaging and lively - that would be appropriate for an independent living situation.

She came highly recommended and I can't even stop Thanking Ms. Vicki Hughes for all her professionalism,patience, care, concerns, sweet spirit, listening ears, and days when I cried because it was too much for me. Please note I am my Dad's only daughter living in Memphis and it was so hard t taking care of business on my lunch break so I can meet all deadlines just to get my Dad in Montclare Supportive Living. My cousin- Cherron (who DID all the ripping and running) said it was a beautiful place and he is going to love it there.She was more excited then me. Thank you Ms. Temia for your sweet, kind and professional voice telling me what else I needed to do to finish up the process for my Dad. Ms. Towanda Thank you so much for your sweet help and concerns. I can't wait to meet the staff that works at Montclare Supportive Living Community. Thank You, Karen H.
