Overall Review of Brookdale Harrisburg

caveat 4 reviews mention this

Memory care activities need improvement

Residents describe memory care programming that didn’t meet expectations at times.

Some reviewers say memory care residents weren’t getting the kinds of engaging activities that were expected, and that television time became a substitute. Others also describe limited interaction for residents in the memory unit. One reviewer later notes things improved after management changes, but the earlier period left a negative impression. At the same time, multiple reviews still say the community encourages participation through celebrations and activities, so experiences may vary by time and unit.

caveat 4 reviews mention this

Care and communication can slip

Several reviews raise concerns about consistent care communication and follow-through.

A number of reviewers mention problems that had to be escalated to higher management, including issues with hygiene, staff accountability, and responding to concerns. Others describe gaps in communication after a move-in, even when problems were reported. There are also complaints about staffing coverage on occasion, alongside one review that says the care team was attentive to day-to-day needs. Taken together, reviewers’ experiences range from strongly supportive to frustrated by delays or missed details.

caveat 3 reviews mention this

Pricing changes affect families

Rate increases and overall cost come up as recurring concerns.

Some reviewers say monthly rates increased quickly, with higher bills arriving with little explanation. One reviewer also describes the community as very expensive and chose it based on the need for a quick opening. While several other families were overall satisfied, the cost-related complaints were specific and repeated enough to stand out.
