Brentwood at St Pete

I chose this community for my mother because of the location. The care staff has been great as far as giving my mom her meds and coming to get her if she's not down in the dining room. Management is fine, the employees are great and they treat my mom very well and are very nice to her. Houskeeping came the week after she got there and did her laundry and brought it back right away, the laundry service is fine. In addition, her refrigerator was missing a part and maintenance came to fix it right away.

Maintenance was very helpful, they do a good job. I think the food was okay. I do feel everyone tried to make things work for mom.

My loved one has lived here for about seven months. The aides that provide care are wonderful during week. The maintenance guy is right there to help us with any need. They are always pleasant when I run into them in the hallway. The laundry service has been excellent. Everything comes back neatly folded. It is usually done within the day. I have looked at the calendar of activities and wish she could participate. It seems to me there are a nice variety of things going on. The bedroom in her apartment is so huge and her living room is small. She likes it. It is bright and airy. She has a balcony and she is happy with being able to open the door and listen to the birds.

Since my mother has lived at the community, I think the cost is reasonable. She seems to enjoy the dining and there always seems to be a varied menu. I think Rachel is wonderful, from the activities department. She's very special and does wonderful things with Memory Care, games and activities. When we first moved in, the maintenance man was very nice and took care of things immediately.

I think it was very reasonably priced, we looked around a lot and this worked out really well. The management seems to be very hands on, the Executive Director met with us individually, even on a weekend, which I was really pleased with. My mom talks about how nice everybody is and people are coming and getting her if she doesn’t come for a meal which is what we wanted to make sure of. I think my mom is getting the individual attention here she wasn't getting at the other place and that's good. Everybody knows her name already and that kind of thing, that's really what drew us there, I think for someone in her situation it's a really great place.

The gal in charge, Kelly is very friendly. I have seen her jump out of her chair and help someone who is struggling. Everyone else that I have asked questions of have been friendly and nice. Basically, I have been very happy with the response that I am getting. They have tons of activities. They have at least five or six things going on every day. Every morning at breakfast they have a calendar of what is going on. I think the care givers have been wonderful. I am very happy with the place and I am very comfortable. If there is problem the staff is very willing to respond. I like the fact that the staff is ready to take action if you have a problem.

The management staff is wonderful and the building is so well taken care of. My sister says the food is very good and the one time I ate there it was wonderful. My sister says she is happy and she likes it there. Everybody has just been wonderful to me.

My mother-in-law is a big joker and the staff here are all very good about playing along with her. She really enjoys going on the outings and particpating in the sing alongs and says that the activity staff treats her real well. As far as the dining department goes, they have good choices, plenty of food and the people that work in there are very cooperative with her because she tends to be slow in making decisions. The caretakers are very good and prompt about giving her her medicine. They've called me when they ran out of medicine. I think it is a fair value.

My loved one recently moved into this community. His apartment is so dang nice. You couldn't have found a spek of dirt when he moved in. Everything was pristine. The management are very family oriented and when I walk into this community every staff member greets me. That makes a world of difference. The administrator and director of nursing are very nice. The food itself is absolutely delicious. The dining room is like a classy restaurant and that is how they are serve you. It is very nice. The laundry is excellent. There are no wrinkles and the clothes come back very nice. They bring his laundry back the same day they take it. The maintenance could not do enough for me when my loved on moved in. One gentleman in maintenance stayed later in the evening to help me move my loved on in and I thought that was wonderful. I am totally comfortable with the staff there. I cannot say enough about the staff there. I would recommend this community in a heartbeat.

What I saw on Brentwood's website was what they showed me when I went there, and I moved my daddy in this August. It's good, great. I couldn’t have asked for any better. The apartment space is gorgeous, great. The caregivers are informed. When my daddy rings his monitor, it don’t take them long to get there. He gets his meds on time. If I ask a question about my daddy's ability in improving himself they knew exactly what I am looking for and explain it to me so I can understand it. My daddy, he goes to exercise class and bingo, he goes down for karaoke. They're keeping him busy. Dining is very good. The food is excellent, they serve it patiently and very professionally. Any questions I've got, the managers answer it, and they speak to the point. Generally they are available and responsive to questions. I can sleep at night. What he's getting is worth the money they're asking for.
