I like that Brookdale Lawrenceville is affordable, nice, and clean. My mom is picky, but she likes the food there. There are flavors she's not used to, but they always have something else available. They have activities like trivia, sing-alongs, board games, and they have an in-house salon too. They didn't have a companion suite, but my parents really wanted to have their own living room and bedroom so they cut a door in between two apartments because they're right next to each other. Sometimes my mom doesn't like the extravagant food or is unfamiliar with the dishes. Sometimes they want the seniors to participate even when they dont want to do something.

I went to look at Brookdale Lawrenceville. I like the location. The facility was very nice. The staff members were very professional and able to answer all of my questions. They seemed very caring. The atmosphere was warm and comfortable. The rooms were very accommodating. I would consider it for a loved one.

I went to Brookdale Lawrenceville. I liked the friendliness. It felt welcoming. The people that live there seemed happy and well cared for. The sales process was clear. There wasn't anything I didn't like about it. It just was more care maybe than my mom needed. And the price was about $1,000 higher a month since it was more for assisted living she doesn't need. And so it felt like we'd be overpaying. Brookdale was a little outdated compared to the facility where my mom is right now. It was kind of old-fashioned furniture. My mom was more of an artist and didn't like that traditional, colonial, or country style. And they said they were going to be updating some stuff. She didn't like the open-door stuff, like people's doors were open in their apartment. So they'd be like in a hospital bed, and that was upsetting for her. The dining hall looked nice. It fits with the rest. It didn't seem too shabby or anything, but it also looked a little bit more institutional. You had an assisted-living vibe at Brookdale.

I toured Brookdale Lawrenceville. When I walked into the memory care, everyone that I was able to see was engaged in some kind of activity. The staff was engaged with someone who seemed a little more cognitively impaired in interacting with them. Other people were sitting at tables either by themselves or in small groups and involved in activities, and I liked seeing that they were keeping them engaged. The person who gave the tour was very thorough, very knowledgeable, very interested, and very sympathetic to my situation and was able to answer every question. They showed me a menu, and the menu looked very good. There were options for them to choose from, and if they didn't like anything that was prepared then there were other options they could choose from also. The dining room I saw was very nice. They said they try to make the dining area look like they're going to a restaurant. Everything looked clean, and everything looked neat. All the furniture looked like it was, maybe not brand new, but everything was in nice shape and fairly modern. I saw their courtyard, and they said that they would be adding flowers and things and doing some gardening and that they did allow residents to help with that. That was enclosed, of course. They told me that they do have a salon.

The tour I had at Brookdale Lawrenceville was nice. The lady was very businesslike, but she was nice. The facility was also nice. I didn't see many people. I only saw two and that was kind of a concern. It was on a Sunday. I don't know if the people don't come out on Sunday or whatever, but I wouldn't choose a place if I didn't get to see anybody because I like to see how the people are. They had a garden, a small game room, and a small TV room. The apartment they showed me was very nice.

I didn't like that Brookdale Lawrenceville was an older building. I didn't think it was well-maintained. I visited the memory care and there was no security at the front door. Anybody could have walked into it. A guy came walking in, and said he had an Amazon delivery for so and so. The lady laughed and said, "Oh yeah, she gets everything from Amazon.", but how do you know that? I was floored. I felt like none of the administration staff was working. It was a weekend. The person that welcomed me was fine though. She was one of the nurses. The place just needs an overall cleaning. The paint was chipped in and I just didn't get a good feel for it at all. There was a courtyard and a library.

We're moving my mother to Brookdale Lawrenceville. We chose it because the price was right. Also, the community just seemed a whole lot better than others I've looked at in the area. It was a beautiful facility, and it looked like they were going to be able to give my mom the best care. The rooms were beautiful, a lot like apartment living. The staff was amazing. They were nice. I was even talking to the custodians there, and they were even wonderful people. I haven't bumped into a mean person. Everyone's been well above and beyond accommodating questions and making sure all the proper steps are taken. The menu looked really nice and organized. The dining area looked like it was well cared for. I couldn't give them a perfect rating because I haven't seen my mother in action there yet.

Brookdale Lawrenceville seemed very welcoming and the residents seemed to be happy. The activity director seemed to be very much in tune with the residents in helping them to be involved in the community. The rooms were bright but small. The dining area was open and bright.

Brookdale Lawrenceville was a nice, clean facility, well-organized, and seemed to have a home and park-like setting. The rooms were nice-sized and the person who gave the tour was very personable, knowledgeable, and very accommodating. The dining area seemed to be organized and they seemed to have really efficient activities for the residents.

I didn't like Brookdale Lawrenceville to be honest. It wasn't as well maintained as the other places. But I think mostly it was the tour. The staff didn't go into a lot of detail with me. I kind of felt like she was kind of rushing through the tour. So it wasn't the best experience and I didn't care for it. They had a courtyard at the back of the building.

Brookdale Lawrenceville is a small, clean place. However, most of the residents in the memory care seemed to have more physical mobility than my mom. When I was there, the residents were doing a little bit of exercise, but it didn't sound like they had a program that my mother would probably need. It was more of a babysitting service than it was an active memory care type place. The other thing is that they were not an end-of-life facility. They told me that at the point where my mom needed additional care that we would have to move her. We were looking for a place that could take care of her until the end of her life, so Brookdale Lawrenceville was not a good fit for that.

Our experience with Brookdale Lawrenceville has not been good. They're disrespectful, and they don't ask her what she wants to do. I've been wanting to bring it up with them, but Mom doesn't want me to say anything because she thinks they would be even meaner to her. The accommodations are fine, but the food isn't very good either. They only get her in and out of bed and dress and undress her. She's going through some physical therapy. She had a large blister on the back of her heel that appeared within the first month. They're increasing their rate in January, and their head person just quit, so they brought in a new person on a temporary basis.

I really didn't like Brookdale Lawrenceville at all. It seemed old, very dark, and gloomy. I didn't see any people moving about or engaging in any activities. It didn't seem like a friendly place. The staff members accommodated me very well and were all very nice. They seemed to have lots of different areas, like a library, but you didn't see people using these things. The dining area was very neat and clean. However, this community wasn't right for us.

I visited Brookdale Lawrenceville. It was pretty decent and nice. I was there for about 20 or 30 minutes; the staff seemed knowledgeable. The rooms seemed nice and good enough for one person. At the time of my visit, they were watching TV and stuff. It seemed like a nice place, and they seemed that they do a lot of activities.

Brookdale Lawrenceville was OK. They were certainly willing to work with us, bargain on price I would say, and help us figure a way to make it affordable. The food was just OK. The rooms were good, and the staff was certainly good. If there is one thing they can improve on, it would be the quality of the food.

Emeritus at Courtyard Gardens had a really comfortable feeling to it. I felt at home; everything is relaxing. The staff just kind of felt more like friends or a home-type feeling which was really good.

A friend of mine referred Courtyard Gardens. It is very good and Dad likes it there. The people are nice and they do a lot for the seniors. Once a month, they have a men’s lunch out. The room is beautiful and he loves it. Dad enjoys the food overall, though he really likes lasagna. They have therapy on site, ice cream socials, and exercise balloons. His room has two big windows overlooking the courtyard and he really likes it. Dad was just disappointed with the transportation to churches. They have people come in, but it’s not church. They don’t offer services to go to church.

Emeritus is very good and the maintenance director is responsive. The facilities are kept up to date. I was pleased with the overall condition of the facility. The staff was great; they are warm, responsive, and helpful. My room is very nice, comfortable and just the right size for me. We have games and trips. We also have sing-alongs and entertainment from musicians who come in. I would recommend it to anyone who needs a little help; the assistance part is very good.

I met the activities director of Emeritus at Courtyard Gardens, and her schedule was really good. We went there twice, and it was during a mealtime. We didn't eat, but people were eating because I did want to see how they were served and how people were sitting, so that was all good. Everything looked good and smelled good, so I am sure it was fine. Activities were posted, the activities director was upbeat, and everybody was kind. That was what I saw happening. All of their staff was especially friendly; everybody spoke to us. Everybody, even people we passed in the hall, was nice. They were smiling, courteous, and they all looked like they were happy sitting at work. Nobody seemed grumpy. Everybody was doing their job, and everybody seemed very content. There were visitors that we met there, and they were happy, and then they were like, "Oh, your mother will like it here. I love coming here." So I had positive feedback even from people who were visiting their relatives there.

Mom went to Emeritus at Courtyard Gardens. The facility is very warm and friendly. They encourage the residents to participate in the activities. Their rooms are nice and big. The staff are very caring. I like the warm atmosphere when I go there. They are unique because their residents have formed a welcoming committee, so when a new resident comes in, that committee takes them under their wings and shows them around and answers questions. They do memory games, dominos, and bingo. They also do a little basketball. They also have arts and crafts. I would recommend this place.

I don't think there's much to change in Emeritus at Courtyard Gardens. From what I've saw, it didn’t feel like a typical rest home environment. I liked the atmosphere, it seemed like a pretty well kept and run place. The residents seemed content and happy there. My dad's accommodation is very nice and suitable for him. The staff is very friendly. They offer him laundry, daily check-ups, medication and ensuring he gets the meals. I tried the food, it was good. There are lots of activities going on for the residents. They have sing-a-longs, exercise, bingo and crafts. Another thing I'm impressed with is the resident nurse that they have all the time. She's new, but there's another one that has been there for all her career as a nurse. It tells me that it’s the place one wants to me, not just the residents but the staff included.

Emeritus was a very nice facility but it didn?t fit our needs at this time. We only visited the main area, they didn't have any vacant rooms at the time. The dining room was very nice, it was large. What I liked best was the fact that it was a small facility, not huge and also that it was close into the Lawrenceville area. The staff was very professional.

Emeritus at Courtyard Gardens was a very nice place. The backyard area looked like a beautiful park. The facility itself was a bit small which was better as it was more intimate. The food was fine and was specifically geared to the elderly as they don't put a lot of sodium and stuff like that.

The facilities looked nice enough, but they could add a few more activities and social events for people to participate in. People often seem bored. Our friend is very upbeat though for medical purposes he needs assisted living. The caretakers seem pretty nice, and he tells us he is treated equitably. I wish he had a few more friends there, but maybe in time he will get a few more. The facility was clean, though it did smell some as most assisted living facilities do. I think it is a good fit for him, but I would like to see him moved to a more all-inclusive type of experience that provides him with a fuller day-to-day life experience.

I visited Courtyard Gardens in Lawrenceville, GA. to see for myself the facility and the programs it offers its residents. I was impressed by the home.The staff seemed to genuinely care about the residents. I worked for a different facility many years ago and because of how terrible it was, I was hesitant to ever have a loved one placed in a home. Courtyard Gardens was different. The residents I encountered seemed happy and most were busy doing activities of one sort or another. They get taken on trips, play games, participate in fitness activities, create gifts for their loved ones in crafting classes, and stuff like that. By the end of the visit, I felt very satisfied with the quality of the establishment. If you have fears and impressions of what you think an assisted living home is like, I encourage you to check out Courtyard Gardens.

I visited Courtyard Gardens in Lawrenceville, GA. to check out the facility and the programs it has to offer its' residents. I must say that I was impressed by the home. It had an "at home" feel to it and the staff seemed to genuinely care about the residents. I worked for a different facility many years ago and because of how terrible it was, I was hesitant to ever have a loved one placed in a home. Courtyard Gardens was recommended by a friend who convinced me that this residence was different from those of the past. I was pleasantly surprised to see that she was right. The residents I encountered seemed happy and most were busy doing activities of one sort or another. They get taken on trips, play games, participate in fitness activities, create gifts for their loved ones in crafting classes, etc. By the end of the visit, I felt better knowing that there was a place available for my parents (should it ever be needed) that had a the feel of home and a real since of community. If you have fears and impressions of what you think an assisted living home is like, I encourage you to check out Courtyard Gardens. I don't believe you will be dissapointed.
