My grandfather has been here for over 6 months and our experience has not been a positive one. Let…read moreme start by saying he's not mobile and can't see well. His room smells of urine and feces. It's so strong it's hard to be in his room. This isn't an isolated example because you can smell it in the hallways from other rooms, even when trying to mask with air fresheners which makes it worse. His wet clothes are left there as well as soiled diapers to smell up the room. I visit as often as possible and have to empty trash flush the toilet and vacuum. The pictures are gross, but that poop in there is not from today. Look at the ring that stays after flushing! When you sign in you designate room number and I've talked to much of the staff and nurses. Today I was handed 6 MONTHS OF MAIL. There were important notices about his insurance, his doctors appointment and labs that needed immediate attention. We'll be updating mailing address to my home, but would it been that hard to let us know that there was mail? I've also sent multiple emails to director and staff that has gone unanswered to this date. We're in process of finding a new home for my grandfather.

My friends mother has dementia and it's great to see her in a safe environment. She seems to be doing a whole lot better not that she has the care that she needs.

If you're considering assisted living, I would highly recommend this one for you to check out.

A family friend was in this facility, Brookdale Lake Mary, and I visited several times. Another…read morefriend was in daily contact with the resident by phone to stay informed. While the facility looks really nice on the ground floor and the dining area looks impressive that's where it ended. My friend (the resident) tended to nap a lot and often missed mealtimes. Sometimes someone would notice and bring them a meal to their room but most often not and they would go long periods without a meal. Once the resident fell out of bed and could not get up so they pushed their wrist alert button to summon help. No one came so they called a friend on their cell phone. That friend called Brookdale and told them the situation only to be told "we are short staffed, will get to them when we can". Things in the residents' room tended to disappear (money, stamps, etc.) and the resident believed they had been taken. This seemed plausible as the items were not found in the room and the resident had not been anywhere to spend the money. Initially the residents' room was very nice and clean but over time it was neglected with horrible stains on the floor, a terrible stench and some roach activity noted. I would never place someone in this facility.

The facility was wonderful but he missed the Jewish culture he was used to -having lived in the Bronx, Westchester County NY and Boynton Beach. Jewish Pavilion brought that part of his life back to him with Yiddish classes, personal visits, Shabbat, holiday celebrations and also pet therapy. JP was also a great help to me - I felt like I had extended family helping me through his last years. This is a vital service for seniors and their families in Central Florida.
