My mom does not take advantage of the exercise classes or the planned trips to local shops like Target and Walmart, outings, even cruises (of course rent doesn't cover cruises, I mean the travel coordination that is done is great).\n\nMy mom is very much to herself and that is okay, 100%, but she is missing out on things that her money is paying for.\n\nLastly, she also cooks most of her own food because she has to be super careful about gluten. She's very gluten sensitive. So the portion of a resident's rent that covers food is wasted if they do not take full advantage of the food provided.\n\nThe benefit of being at Brookdale for my mom has been SAFETY. There is a button in the bathroom of each resident and they must press it by a certain time. It alerts the administration that they are safe and frankly, alive. If they do not press it, someone is coming to their unit to check on them. That has really put my mind at ease.\n\nAnother benefit is that she is surrounded by peers -- people in her same place in life. That is hugely comforting to her. As people age, they unfortunately are maligned by younger folks who don't have a lot of patience with them. So just feels good to live among your peers. \n\nThe other safety aspect is the limited access to the facility. I don't have a large worry about strangers gaining access and harming her.","reviewerDisplayName":"Anonymous","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"Exceeding Expectations ","reviewContent":"It is a great place. My dad died recently and i just love everyone at Brookdale University Place. 100 percent perfect score. I would recommend recommend them to anybody. The employees are loving and compassionate.

Geared 100% to independent living only. Lots of hidden fees. Location is outstanding. We would say the person needs to be entirely independent and if that person is showing any signs of debilitating or memory loss they need to go to a community with steps to the community to avoid another BIG move. We picked this community because of the location and the way we were treated when we toured.","reviewerDisplayName":"Anonymous","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"}],"parentOrgReview":{"name":"Brookdale","slug":"brookdale-29","averageReviewScoreDisplay":8.7,"communityCount":644,"reviewCount":27148}},"communityName":"Brookdale West University","leadgenCompleted":false}
