Brookdale Skyline

I've moved into Brookdale Skyline. I'm in independent living. This is a continuing care facility, all the way from independent living up to assisted living, memory care, or a nursing home. I like it here. My apartment's a little smaller, but I have too much stuff. The decor is lovely. The food is superb. We have tablecloths, napkins, and fresh flowers on the tables. The staff has been very friendly and helpful so far. I don't have anything negative to say about it yet. They have a therapy pool, ...

Brookdale Skyline was lovely. It was a great visit. The facility is beautiful. It has everything that you could need if you're an independent. The apartment had a lovely view, and it was a nice size. I would highly recommend it. The staff members were very nice. We saw one of the theaters that they have. They have libraries. They don't have a washer and dryer in every apartment, but on every floor, they have washers and dryers at no cost to the residents. We saw the pool, the workout gym, and al...

I had a complete tour at Brookdale Skyline and it didn't feel rushed at all. But I felt like I was going back into the 1980s as far as decor. Everything was brown and just not bright and not uplifting. It was just very dated. The staff was fine. They were very friendly and they spent a lot of time with me. They did a follow-up phone call and email. I wasn't very hungry when I was there, so I just had some soup and bread. The bread was really good, but I did not like the soup. It upset my stomach...

Our family has some seniors in Brookdale Skyline and we are quite disappointed in the service and costs. Above the Assisted living costs, they charge peace-meal for each and every little service they need help with (which adds up to thousands extra/month above the assisted living cost). A logical person would have thought most of these services would have been included in the higher base price for assisted living versus the price for independent living: medication management (100s/month),...

I visited Brookdale Skyline. Overall, it was a nice facility, but it was a little bit too big for our taste. I got up to the skilled nursing and it was too busy for my mom's taste. It was not a nice, calming atmosphere at all. It was just like constant things going on everywhere. They did let me go into one of the rooms and it wasn't the cleanest, so I was turned off by that. They were nice folks and all, but I would not put my mom there. It's nice if someone's looking for memory care or they do...

Brookdale Skyline was nice, but it wasn't as nice and elegant as the other facility I visited. The staff were all very attentive. They were very good. They do a lot of different things with the residents. They cover the intellectual, emotional, physical, and social dimensions of life. They had silver sneakers, which I think is always good exercise. They had a lot of different kinds of water exercises. It was a very large facility. I liked that they had cottages, so they had a real variety of pla...

Brookdale Skyline had pool therapy and physical therapy. They had a very nice exercise room that was very well equipped. They also offered line dancing as part of their exercise program. They had an art studio, craft rooms, all kinds of games, puzzles, and a library. I looked at an apartment and one of their villas. I was very impressed with both. I was impressed with the staff, too. They were very nice.

We went to Brookdale Skyline. It was very nice, very homey, and very comfy. Their rooms were a good size. They are very nice. It was a good place. They had a variety of rooms. At the time we were there, it was around lunchtime. There wasn't a whole lot of activities at that time. It was just everybody getting ready to go to lunch.

I chose Brookdale skyline Clare Bridge for my husband who has early onset Alzheimers because they had access to a swimming pool and he could bring his little dog. It was a disaster. 1. He was initially not entered into the computer system correctly which resulted in him missing medications for days and not having a shower for over a week after admission. They also lost an entire month’s supply of a heart medicine that we gave to the director on admission. 2. I brought him three pairs of spare ...

My dad was in Brookdale Skyline in the rehab center, and I was very disappointed with that place. I understand that COVID affects a lot of the health care places, but I would never take my dad back there. That was just the rehab side, and I didn't see the independent living or assisted living. Because of corona, I wasn't able to visit him except for four days. I wasn't very pleased. He came home worse than he went in because the lack of rehab. It's a beautiful facility, but as far as the car...

We went to look at the assisted living of Brookdale Skyline. The skilled nursing piece of it was what we were after. My dad needs more care these days, so we have to get him into someplace that's skilled nursing. It seems like my dad would get more care there. Everybody has a staffing shortage, but they seem to be handling it well. The staff was awesome. She was very informative and very personable. We liked her. It was a good tour. The exact apartment, if my dad should choose that place, was un...

My dad's experience with Brookdale Skyline has been wonderful. It has all the amenities that a hotel would have, and the rooms are beautiful. They have three or four different styles, and they're all nice and spacious. The people are really nice and very helpful, too. They have a beautiful dining room, a full gym, an indoor pool that's heated, plenty of classes for exercise, a barber shop, a cafe, and tons of activities for the residents to do. They got two free meals and it's buffet style righ...

Brookdale Skyline is really big, and they really have a lot to offer. So, I remember being impressed by it, but I think for my sister it's going to be just too much. It's too big and there's too many people. It was a very nice facility. We only got to meet with one staff member. She did an excellent job and was very knowledgeable. The rooms were really nice, and they had several different styles. They had several different sizes like a one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and suite. The staff showed us a m...

I'm moving into Brookdale Skyline by October. I chose it because it has progressive medical care. The place was clean and organized, and the people seemed happy.

Mitzi

Brookdale Skyline was very nice and had all the amenities that we were looking for. The staff who assisted us during the tour was very helpful. The rooms were very large; we had lunch there and it was okay. They had recreational rooms, a pool, laundry facilities, library, and we saw the dining hall. When we were there they weren't active, but my parents said that they were more active when they went there.

Jon

Brookdale Skyline was excellent. I pretty much like everything, except for it to be a little bit difficult getting from one area to another. You had to go quite a big distance. The rooms are nice sized and easily accessible. The staff is excellent and very knowledgeable.They have good facilities. They have a good menu and is quite varied. They have got a good selection, and they've got a wide variety over a pretty good time.

The floor plans at Brookdale Skyline were very nice. They offered everything there. Their one- and two-bedroom apartments were really nice. They offer independent and assisted living, and you can get an apartment or a stand-alone if you want, and that's what I like about it. The staff who took me around was very good. I like Brookdale Skyline the best. You could call a number there, and they had available people who would help you unpack and do that type of thing, which wasn't available at som...

I had an in-person tour of Brookdale Skyline. It was very good. The staff checked back with me. She was very helpful in all aspects in answering questions and showing us around. It was very well kept and nice. The furnishings were appealing. Because of COVID, we could only see a certain area, so we didn't have lunch there. They had a beauty salon/barber shop. It was pretty homey.

My wife is in Brookdale Skyline. It's very large, it's very new, and it's elegant. It's almost Spanish, a series of 6 buildings, and each building specialized to certain types of people or stuff, and their needs. It also had houses, you had your own garage and everything that's onsite, and they just bring meals and stuff if you want them. It's all gated, and getting in is like trying to get in a fort, it isn't easy. I've been as far as the gate, turned around after I dropped off things for my wi...

I'm extremely disappointed in the integrity of the accounting department. I have multiple friends who live and have lived at this facility in various departments. None of them know each other. Some live in the cottages, some live in memory care, some in independent living, and some have been temporary residents of their skilled nursing facility. Every single one of my friends has dealt with billing mistakes and accounting errors. I even helped one friend gather evidence before hiring a lawyer a...

Brookdale Skyline assisted living was nice, but way too big. There were too many twists and turns and you have to go up and down elevators, but it was an excellent facility, and the staff was wonderful. The residents looked happy the way they were all speaking to each other. They have different kinds of rooms like studios, two-bedroom apartments, and suites. The list of activities was humongous and they have a lot of good activities for them.

Mary M.

We liked the cottages at Brookdale Skyline, but the price was extremely high for us not having not to use any other services except living there. It was almost $5,000, which only included two meals, so that was way too high. They had some activities and a pool inside. The staff was extremely good and explained everything to us. The price was ridiculous, but they were fabulous.

Brookdale Skyline was a very nice place but very big. It had well over 500 people. It was too big for me and slightly more expensive. It had a lovely setting except that it was sort of isolated from the community. I thought the room was a little bit chopped up, and I would have found it hard to arrange my furniture because there were so many doors but roomy and comparable to other places. It had more windows.

My mom was in the rehab center (skilled nursing) and in Clare Bridge Memory Care. The experiences at both places were terrible. Her care in rehab was substandard. Left to sit in soiled diapers. Getting very little attention. I have no complaints about the therapists. They seemed to be doing their jobs. She had been there 3 times and hated it. I found out that she's still being billed for a wheelchair but she passed away at the end of July and here it is, almost December 1st. They had her sign fo...

Brookdale was really very nice; it was well-kept, and really upscale. However, it was way out of our price range, and it had more services than what we really required. It had very nice furniture, and It felt like you’re going into a 5-star resort.

The place that would suit my parents' needs is Brookdale Skyline. We liked the setting, apartments, and amenities. It seemed to be well-kept, and it's close to where the kids are. It would allow my parents to stay together. They wouldn't have to move if their circumstances changed.

Brookdale Skyline is a beautiful place. The staff is very helpful and know their residents by first name. The atmosphere is good. Mom's apartment is comfortable, clean, and seems to be well cared for. The food is very good and very tasty.

Visited many communities before selectingSkyline. From the time you walk in the door, you feel it is something different - in a good way. Staff and residents are so friendly and smiling. There is energy and activities no matter where yo walk. Other places it is dead, stale feeling - no one smiling. The property is well maintained with wonderful views. There is ample parking, everything you could want. The biggest difference is they care. They ask questions and listen to what you have to say. It ...

I'm at Brookdale Skyline. My daughter and I chose it because its suits my price range and needs more than the other ones. They have apartments and cottages. I chose the cottage because it provides a garage. We have a lot of hail and I do not want my car to get deformed, so the garage suits me. I have two bedrooms and two baths. I have a breakfast if I want and either a lunch or a dinner included in the price. I just have to pay for utilities, internet, and the telephone. Otherwise, everything el...

My dad used to live at Brookdale Skyline. It was totally under construction with dangerous conditions, like wall coverings just laying on the floor, wires dangling from the ceiling, and construction equipment easily accessible to people, including my father who has memory issues. It looked bad. Some staff members were pretty darn good. Some couldn't get it right after repeated requests. For example, my father was getting narcotic medication which he shouldn't have been getting for a couple of mo...

Brookdale Skyline is absolutely excellent. The food is good, the staff is excellent, the facilities are first-rate and improved all of the time. I don't have criticism for any part of the facility whatsoever.

Reviewer121536050

There are things that I like about Brookdale Skyline, but there are very few activities in the assisted living unit that appeal to my dad. They don't have consistent medical support. We had to wait a long time after we pressed the call button for someone to come assist us. They are not patient enough to wait for my dad to try to do things on his own. I like my dad's apartment, though. It is a one-bedroom apartment, so it is spacious enough for him. The food was just OK. In the assisted living, t...

Exceeded our expectations. Staff and residents are so friendly, caring and they make it a community. My mother was able to live in one of the wonderful garden home for a couple years before moving into one of the apartments. I do not know of anyplace in Colorado so nice or that offers everything they have to offer. It was a blessing.

This is a really great place. The location and views are wonderful. The staff are so helpful, kind and friendly. There are so many places to walk and so much to do. The swimming pool and exercise area are really nice. I was surprised how fabulous and affordable the garden homes are. I don't know of any place else in Colorado that has anything like them. My mom loved her home there but now she loves her apartment there and has made so many friends. This community has been a blessing for my mother...

Mom wasn’t very long at Village at Skyline. The prices were really good for independent apartments. They have a pool which is very nice. It has a beautiful surrounding as it looks over the Red Rocks in Colorado. Their food is basically buffet style, and it is really good.

I am now at Village at Skyline, but I have my doubts about something. The facility is clean, and the workers are very nice and prompt. The food is alright, the activities are excellent, and the room is like an apartment. They have peak buildings, and they just bought Emeritus. I am happy and comfortable here.

Caring86236050

Village at Skyline was nice, but there aren't a lot of windows. It's a pretty dark facility. Where the assisted living people eat is kind of down in the basement area or the lower level.

I went to visit Village at Skyline and it was very upscale. It had a quite pleasant atmosphere. The place was clean enough and sanitary. The staff were very nice and polite, and they were very eager to have me there. I ate there, and the food was quite excellent.

We have moved my father-in-law into Village at Skyline. He likes this facility very well. They have a very helpful staff. Their rooms are spacious. They have a garden there where residents can walk around and it is a gated area. Regarding food, I have tried eating there a couple of times now and it has been very good actually. So overall, we're good now with this facility.

We visited Village at Skyline several times and it looked appealing. The staff was very gracious, most courteous, most forthright and most considerate. They answered all our questions and showed us the available models. We had a very good relationship with them. We ate there several times and it was excellent, the food was good.

Village at Skyline is a really large facility. Basically they have everything there. It got independent living, assisted living, memory care, and long term care. This is the only facility that had all of those. The rooms were very nice. The staff was very nice, knowledgeable, and helpful. We had lunch there and the food was very good. We liked it, but that type of facility is too large for my mother-in-law.

Krissa

We were totally pleased and almost blown away with how spacious was Village at Skyline. The floors are light colored and really, really nice. It was a well done tour and they were extremely nice. They offered us dinner at the same time. The dining area was very spacious. There were also good choices of rooms and lots of options. You can have a 2-bedroom with an extra room for an office. Everything was wonderful and everything was professionally done.

TerMac

It was great, and I really liked the facility. However, I was told I don't meet the age criteria to be a resident there. I'm 61 and think that should be fine.
