Glenbrooke Senior Living

Isabel

We liked this place very much. We like the apartments very much. They are very spacious. They have activities that we like. They have a gym and a swimming pool. The person who attended to us was very nice. I tried their food, and it was very good. They had one swimming pool. I think the water was warm, but it was outside.

Archie

We toured and like the two-bedrooms. They don't have any three-bedrooms. All they have are two-bedrooms, and the bedrooms are very large, so that appealed to us. We had the new director tour us, and she was very pleasant and informative. A lot of their activities, other than going to the mall or taking you to the doctors', were exercises and things like that. They have periodic social ice cream things. The cleanliness was very good. The master bedroom had a king-sized bed and still had plenty of room to walk around the bed.

It was a nice building. The outside was also nice with a very pretty landscape as you drove in. The girl who took me on a tour was very nice. What I liked the best about it was they had a lovely big clubhouse. They also had a pool. They just didn't provide all the meals and it was more expensive.

Kim

I toured for my mom. They were friendly, the place was clean, and it's a big facility with multiple levels. It was a three-story building. They had activities posted, they had bingo, and cards, they were doing puzzles in one room, and arts and crafts. The rooms had a kitchenette in it, some of them had working kitchens, and in others they shut the power to the stoves so it was there but not usable, depending on your needs. It was a nice facility just out of our price range.

I like my mom's location here, particularly, because she could be transported, or if she ever gets strong enough to get to the elevator, which is very close. It's only maybe a door or two away from her in particular, so it was just by luck she got that. There is a dining area on that same floor, which is also nearby. And if she wants, she could be transported there for her meals. They do encourage her to participate in other things and not stay in her room all the time. They also have a main dining room on the first floor and you could order right off the menu, or whatever you see that you like. If you have a visitor, you could invite them in for a very nominal fee, and they could also order off the menu with them. There are also good features there. There are call buttons throughout her apartment, which is only under 600 square feet, yet it's very adequate. It has a living room, then the kitchen area is big enough that you can move around very nicely. You don't have to cook because you have three squares that you could have. Then there's her bedroom and a bath with plenty of grab bars. And if those are not enough, they will allow me to have more grab bars installed. After she's been there a while and maybe she needs another grab bar elsewhere, I could have that done. They even give you the name of a place that could come out and do that in a day quickly. There's a walk-in shower with a very small lip to maintain the water inside. They will also watch her during her bath to make sure she doesn't slip. She has transfers that she could have for going to meals or out of her bed in the morning and put back in bed. Her medications are managed. Those features I do like. The room is bright. You could see below there are always people about. And just activities daily that they post on her door so that she could take part if she wants. The staff seems to be very attentive, they give you all the attention you need. They talk to you. If you have any questions or if you need anything, like when we had a drippy faucet, they came right away and took care of it. There are people down at the front desk that are very friendly and they direct people to various things if they need help. I think what they could do better is when somebody starts their time there, they could do a little bit more like a welcome committee, just to let you know that they are happy to see you. I think that fell through the cracks and I don't know why. Because they had told me there would be somebody from the staff to greet her, but there wasn't anybody. I did not try the food because I was not hungry, but it looked good. But my mom seems to be very happy with it. I haven't seen her do any activity yet. I did hear that there was an ice cream day, and they gathered up many of the seniors who wanted to participate. I know I saw directly across from my mother's apartment, she could get downstairs and go across, that there is an activity room that they've just refashioned. It has things going on in there and they tell them about it. It's a big place. They could do arts and crafts and play certain card games or bingo or whatever. There's even those casino one-arm, the thing where you put a coin in and you pull it and you hope to get lucky. My mother would like that if she would get herself down there just to play like she's gambling. There's the pool right behind there where family members can come to visit grandma and grandpa and the kids could swim with them. At this point I would say for sure they would have gotten a five-star rating had they done a better job of welcoming. I don't know if that happens normally or if they somehow skipped that. I've been to other ones to look at them, they were so pricey that only a very wealthy person could go to this spa-like environment. Whereas this one was kind of like for average people who had worked all their lives and set aside monies and can manage their bills. It would probably be best for someone who had a good cushion to have, otherwise, it could get very expensive if you do not have your own monies to work with.

It was very nice, but a little quieter than the other place. They had activities and a nice dining facility. The people were very nice. It was much smaller, but it was pretty. It was in a woodsy area, and it's a little more secluded. I only met two staff members there.

Roger

It is nice and clean. It's mostly for people that are a little bit stronger. I saw a lot of residents, and they were able to get around pretty good, but if you're not that able, I don't think it's a good place. They're in a room by themselves, and they have to go out in the dining room to eat. It's a bigger facility. The lady I talked to was like a salesperson trying to get you to sign. It's like a bunch of apartments, it's like two or three stories, and you have to ride the elevator. The dining area seemed nice.

It was an excellent place. The layout was excellent. It's a three-story building, and the apartments were great. The surroundings were more than adequate. If you have any mobility problems it has excellent walking trails. They have an exercise room and a great dining area that's like a restaurant. The staff was excellent.

My mother-in-law is a resident here and our experience so far has been good. Her room there is very nice and fully remodelled. The kitchen has granite countertops, it's in the main building which is good for her. The staff is fine and have been very helpful. I haven't had any issues with the staff.

Extremely pleased

The best community in Brevard county! My wife and I were pleasantly surprised and delighted with the facilities! Clean community, not oversized! We felt like we were at home, unlike some of the other older communities. The Fountains and Century oaks, just minutes away, couldn't hold a candle! The sales staff was very knowledgeable! Thank you. We will be signing our lease soon.. we look forward to it! Our soup and Lunch was delish and dining staff was professional!

Jacqueline

It was very nice. The apartment we were looking at was beautiful. The apartments were a better sized than the others I have seen. It had a lot of amenities that we liked, and it was close to a sanctuary. There wasn't a view of the river which I love, so that was kind of one of the negatives about it. Most of the people were mobile, even if they were in a wheelchair. They can go outside and do what they like. There was a nice pool. We had lunch with our friends and the food seemed to be very nice, good, and well-prepared. The menu was diverse.

Pat

The tour was good, but it was not the right fit for us. I like the layout of the apartments. We looked at an independent living 2-bedroom, which was nice. There was quite a bit of storage space. It's very adequate. I know they offer assisted living too. They have lots of activities. They have exercises, a library, and crafts. They serve two meals a day. They offer housekeeping once a week and they do your sheets and towels once a week. They have a bus, but they only go within five miles.

I loved it. I would move there. The facility and apartments were very nice. I looked at a three-bedroom apartment and was quite impressed with the whole community. The people were extremely friendly, and I liked the location. The food was good, too.

Jean167485

We are here. So far, we are pleased. It is a very quiet and prestigious place, and we feel at home here. We cannot ask for anything better for the staff. The place is very comfortable, very attractive, and very calming. The area is very close to everything like doctors, shopping, and church. We participate in several things, like discussion groups, entertaining groups, games, and church.

Helen007361

It has everything that a person can possibly want. It is like their own home. The apartments are lovely. They are like as big as my house. They have exercise machines and classes. They have swimming. They have creative classes, and they have a library.

KC050374

I was able to visit, and the place was very nice, clean, and pretty. The little apartments were nice as well. The grounds are all very nice with swimming pool and good landscaping.

Anonymous Visitor15

We visited. The rooms were a lot bigger than everybody else. It was very clean, and we liked this facility the best. The staff were very friendly, and knowledgeable.

Carol117548950

We visited. It was the better one than the other facilities. The lady that showed us around was excellent. The dining room was very nice. They did have largest apartments than any of the places, and that’s what we were looking for.

Gussie1

It is really nice. They had a beautiful restaurant-style service for the residents. The apartments were really nice, with separate bedroom and kitchen. They have lots of activities, like arts and cards games. The dining area was beautiful. They have a coffee bar and ice cream shop for the residents. It’s just neat. The lady in charge of marketing is really nice.

Carol108394850

I am extremely happy here. The apartments are beautiful, very bright, and roomy. The staff is very professional and friendly. I have not eaten there, but mom is happy with the food. They have bingo, all kinds of holiday events, and sing-alongs. It’s wonderful.

Caring109472150

The rooms here were all clean and would meet my needs. We had lunch there, and the food was good. The woman I interacted with was friendly, and she was the only person I was with -- the sales person -- and she was very good.

Pamela33

I think it was a wonderful facility. It's very nicely decorated, the staff was very friendly and helpful, and the food was excellent. But my dad just didn't fit in there very well and he would get confused as to where his room was. They bring in musical artists every Friday afternoon, they have chair aerobics, a book club, and outings. They also have a swimming pool, a clubhouse where they do other activities, like arts and crafts, and even happy hour on Friday afternoons. They had a variety of things to do. I think they even have a Bridge club where they play cards. My mother-in-law is there.

Pat100628850

It is fine, the apartments were beautiful, and the staff was very nice and very home-like. I am in independent living so I have my own dining room.

CaringMan00000973

It was OK. We liked it too, but we have preferred the other facility. The dining room seems to be OK; we had looked at them. We had looked at the entire facility -- assisted living and independent -- it seems OK. The room sizes were a little small for the most part, but the rest of the facility seems OK.

Mark21

My aunt is here. The place is very clean, bright and very light. What I like best is that the staff is excellent, honest, understanding and accommodating. We are able to work out a meal plan. Their food is good. They did the supervision of my aunt very well. She's in a two-bedroom apartment. They go out to see movies. They go out shopping. They have arts and crafts. They have sing-a-long. They have everything there.
