Moved my parents in June, just after a price hike on a one bedroom apartment. My parents have adjusted well to assisted living life. they have decent meal choices. Lots of chicken as the main protein they serve is what my dad says. My mother was supposed to be on a diabetic diet, and we were paying for it, but no one was monitoring, so she ate what she wanted, so i had to ask several times to get the charges for the diet plan removed. They didnt give me a full refund, not sure why, but im ok with it. We are going to get hit with 6% price increase on Jan 1st. not to happy about that since my parents are on a fixed income. The care is good. We pay for my mother to have her medications dispensed and her glucose monitored. Which im glad they do very well. Thats why they had to move, due to my mom not being able to do that herself or my 91 yr old dad, at home. This place has given them the time not to worry about meal prep, home upkeep or having to go get groceries, plus all the things living on your own has. They join in the activities, play cards, interact socially, which has been very important. So overall Brookdale of Monroe is a nice place for them. Just wish it wasn't so expensive, and if they make it past their retirement fund, i will have to move them to a place that takes Medicaid. read more
