My husband is now at Brown Deer Place and he seems to be doing fine. The people are very nice and very friendly. My husband seems very content. They keep the residents pretty busy; they have a lot of activities for them. My husband seems to love their food and so does everybody else. They always have at least two choices for the main dish at noon. The food always looks good and tasty. They're very thoughtful toward the patients. If the patient needs their food cut up, they cut it up for them. I'm very pleased with them, and I'm very pleased with the way they're handling my husband. They make sure that food is well balanced. They have a lot of activities; I'm very pleased with it. However, it's a little farther away than I wanted to be.

I went with my sister to Brown Deer Place, and it was very nice and very pleasant. I thought that the amenities were not quite as appealing as the other place, and the staff was not as approachable, but I would say that the facility itself was really nice. It's close to the Iowa River landing and Coral Ridge Mall is near there. It's a brick place in the front, it's kind of facing a corner, and it's in a nice area. The model apartment that they showed us was really nice, it was much larger than what my sister needed, and it was really beautiful. The dining room was also really nice. The thing that I noticed about Brown Deer Place was that it was more formal than the other place we've seen. My sister is a very informal person who doesn't feel comfortable in a formal setting. So that was something that stood out, and it explained why she felt more comfortable in the other place than she did at Brown Deer. I think that for people who who enjoy a more formal setting, then they would feel more comfortable at Brown Deer.

When we were visiting community living facilities, we appreciated the fact that the Brown Deer Community Relations Coordinator realized that time was needed to weigh the lifestyle changes and benefits of community living. She checked in periodically to see if we had questions, but never tried to hurry the decision. We appreciated her friendliness and patience throughout the decision process, which was a key factor in choosing Brown Deer Place.

BDP is exceptional in facility,Staff,activities, amenities, & food. That is our experience after 2 years living here. The key criteria in your decision are people & size (feels like family...not a "cold, over-sized institution"... that's BDP!). Wonderful place to live with caring,professional Staff & fun/active residents that will "make your day". The best choice for senior living in the Iowa City area. Stands out amomng many choices!

My visit at Brown Deer Place went very well and was very informative. The person who helped me was very knowledgeable and very friendly. The staff couldn't have been any better. Activities were very good, too. They had different programs and music. The apartments were very nice.

The rooms at Brown Deer Place were dark and dreary looking, but they were nice, and the layout was OK. The rooms have a refrigerator and a microwave. We didn't pay too much attention to the kitchen since we're going to eat in the dining hall. They had a few free weights and that was the extent of the exercise room. The staff was informative.

I toured Brown Deer Place, and it had a fairly homey feel. The community is small, and there are not many residents. The staff was great, and very helpful. The have a craft area, parking, and separate dining areas for the assisted living and the memory care areas.
