Overall Review of Brookdale Hays

common 24 reviews mention this

Staff care and frequent communication

Residents and families frequently describe staff as caring, helpful, and responsive.

Across the reviews, families repeatedly praise staff for taking time to help, communicating with relatives, and making residents feel safe and comfortable. Several reviews mention managers or specific team members being reachable, along with follow-through when needs change. Others describe the day-to-day presence of staff as attentive and patient, while a few reviews raise concerns about how much help some residents receive.

caveat 4 reviews mention this

Sometimes understaffed at night

Some residents report staffing issues that affect one-on-one help.

A small set of reviews says staffing can fall short, particularly at night, and that this can limit one-on-one care. One reviewer specifically contrasts residents who need more help with residents who need only a little assistance, saying resources can be stretched. Another review notes they feel more staff members are needed for the level of individual attention their loved one would benefit from.

common 12 reviews mention this

Dining is a consistent highlight

Food comes up often, with many residents saying it tastes good.

Dining is one of the most frequently mentioned parts of the experience. Multiple reviews describe meals as good, with residents looking forward to eating, and families say their loved ones are properly cared for at mealtimes. There are also a couple of caveats, including a review commenting on meal timing and limited drink options, plus another saying food quality could have been better.

Rooms can feel like home

Residents can personalize their rooms and feel more settled quickly.

Several reviews mention the ability to make the room feel familiar by bringing or adding furniture and personal items from home. Families describe welcoming, home-like feelings soon after move-in, and some note the room layout works well even when spaces are on the smaller side. A few reviewers also connect the room environment with overall comfort and easier day-to-day living.

common 6 reviews mention this

Activities keep residents engaged

Reviews describe regular activities that help pass the time.

Many reviews mention activities such as games, exercise classes, and group events, with residents spending more time outside their apartments as a result. A few families also call out that activities include options for families and not only residents. Religious and other themed events are specifically mentioned as part of what keeps schedules from feeling empty.

caveat 2 reviews mention this

Pricing feels high for staffing

Some reviews say the community is overpriced, especially given staffing.

At least a couple of reviews directly question value, saying the price doesn’t match the staffing level they experience. One reviewer links the concern to understaffing at night, while another simply calls the community expensive. The pricing is above county and state levels across unit types, which may help explain why value is a recurring concern.
