Brookdale East Mesa

I was very impressed with Brookdale East Mesas. I thought I could live there. Even though they were working with memory care patients, they kept their patients up and busy. I saw the food, and it looked good. The rooms were very nicely done. Every bed was extra-long. They had extended mattresses, so the beds were very comfortable. They had half baths in each room and nice closets, which were bigger than the ones that my parents had. There was a nice shelf on the wall, too. It was a really pleasant experience for me. When I was walking through, the staff members told me their names, shook my hand, and seemed happy. The lady who was in charge of the activities had been there for 15 years and she said she just loved it. The residents were so excited to start that day because they were going to do some crafts, and she was getting the room ready for that. Overall, I felt it was done very well and it was very well-managed. They had two doctors. The facility was set up in four different houses. So, it was like a split floor plan, and they had two houses on each end. The place was fenced, so residents were allowed to go outside at any time they wanted. The outside was beautifully done. It had big trees and walkways that were not made out of cement. I thought it would be a very therapeutic place.

Brookdale East Mesa was an excellent facility. I met the staff. Everyone came in and explained things. They were very open to show us everything in the facility. The whole operation was excellent. They were very helpful. They really went out of their way to accommodate us. I was just very happy with them. In fact, I had recommended them to other people. They were very nice. They had a great security system, but you were welcome to come any time. I was very pleased or shocked actually because I didn't expect that. The grounds were secured and enclosed. They had different outdoor areas and gardens. The patients could plant flowers or walk, and they kept the doors open when the weather was nice. They had all kinds of entertainment. They were spectacular. I couldn't tell you how great it was. The cost was reasonable for what they offered. They also had doctors on call and nursing staff, and that was very important for us. They had a chef that came in once a week. They had meetings with the people to get their wants and likes. They tried to prepare their menus around what the folks wanted. If they didn't want something they offered, they could have something else. They don't have to have what was placed in front of them. It was down the road from a hospital, which was a big plus too. There was a lot of medical centers. It was quiet and nice.

My husband has been at Brookdale East Mesa for a couple of months now. We chose this facility because of the staff. They are just really great. However, the cleaning staff could be more thorough. The rooms are fine. We just thought this place is more upscale from some of the others we visited. They have all kinds of activities. They have something going on everyday, a couple of times a day actually.

The staff went out of their way to make the move-in process smooth. Everyone is friendly and made a special point to stop in to say welcome. We are very excited to have our Mom in a safe and caring environment.

I was very please with the Mesa, AZ Assisted Living Facility I visited. The location was great and the perfect place for my aunt. My aunt was extremely happy to have all the people around (although there were not many, it was a surplus for her), and said they were all very friendly. I strongly agree with my aunt's opinion. The only complaint I had was the furniture, it was extremely and notably scarce; the furniture that was present was old and raggy. I strongly suggest replenishing your furniture stock. Though, I will admit, my aunt was fine with this.
