Community Reviews
Pricey!
reviewed on: 02/21/2017 by AnonymousWhen we toured the Brookdale Alhambra, we liked the appearance of the place. It was clean and maintained well. Connie was very nice and gave us a lot of information, but the place was out of our price range.
Good Community
reviewed on: 07/24/2013 by Satisfied CustomerIt was recommended by A Place for Mom and when we went to visit the community we just liked it. The community was very nice and it just seemed like it was the right fit for our situation. We are pleased with it and would recommend it to anyone.
The pricing is reasonable!!
reviewed on: 08/26/2016 by AnonymousMy mom was only at this community for a short time. We found it was just not a good fit for her. She needed a little more supervision than they offered. They did not offer a lot of activities to keep her active. They try to keep the community clean, however it is a dated building. I would recommend this community if you are looking for the base necessities for assisted living. The staff were nice and the food seemed average.
Not enough staff !!
reviewed on: 11/04/2016 by AnonymousI am concerned that every time my aunt rings her bell for help from one of the aids it takes sometimes up to an hour for a response. I don't know if they are under staffed or the aids are just busy but that needs to be improved quickly. I also am concerned with how the upstairs does not have the same fresh air as the downstairs lobby. There is always a weird smell once you get off the elevator on the second floor.
Clean, Modern Community with Chinese Speaking Care Staff and Residents
reviewed on: 08/17/2021 by M ChanThe community is well staffed, clean, there are a lot of Chinese speaking residents and care staff and meals. The billing is a nightmare due to broken communication from the community to their corporate office. This seems to make it more of a nightmare for the families as well. There is limited parking; however, the community is willing to work with you during the move in process.
