Review

Brookdale Kenosha has garnered a mix of reviews from families regarding the care and living conditions for their loved ones, particularly in its memory care section. Many reviewers have praised the facility for its homey atmosphere and cleanliness, noting significant improvements over time that reflect positively on the staff. One reviewer expressed gratitude for how the staff interacts with residents, emphasizing that they appear engaged and happy during activities. The facility seems to keep residents busy throughout the day, offering various activities that not only fill their time but also promote interaction among them.

Families have shared experiences highlighting the professionalism and supportiveness of Brookdale's staff. Several individuals commented on how accommodating the team has been—always ready to answer questions and provide assistance. One family noted that their loved one’s apartment was well maintained, further contributing to a comfortable environment. This sentiment resonated with others who appreciated the attentiveness of all staff members, showcasing a commitment to creating an inviting atmosphere where everyone feels valued.

The tours conducted by prospective residents often yield positive impressions as well. Visitors reported finding Brookdale Kenosha visually appealing due to its cleanliness and organized layout. They enjoyed seeing attentive employees actively engaging residents while highlighting facilities like dining rooms designed according to residents’ abilities. The inclusion of outdoor communal spaces was also seen as a plus, as it provided additional opportunities for socialization in a safe environment.

However, not all reviews reflected this generally positive picture; some pointed out serious issues within the facility's staffing levels and overall management. Detractors indicated concerns regarding inadequate staffing, leading to poor resident care at times. Reports emerged about insufficient employee attendance or engagement with patients, raising alarm bells about potential neglect or lack of attention to individual needs within such a crucial setting.

One particularly troubling account detailed severe consequences faced by a resident after being placed in an unauthorized wheelchair against family wishes—a decision made without family consent that resulted in physical harm due to improper use leading to complications such as leg contraction. Another reviewer echoed similar sentiments regarding cleanliness issues within resident apartments, claiming neglect despite complaints registered with management.

Overall, while many families have found comfort in knowing their loved ones receive quality care at Brookdale Kenosha—and appreciate specific aspects such as clean facilities and active schedules—serious concerns remain regarding management accountability and adequate staffing levels throughout the establishment. With these mixed perspectives evident among current residents' families, it becomes clear that potential future residents should approach with careful consideration while weighing both positive experiences alongside cautionary tales shared by others faced with challenges during their stay at Brookdale Kenosha.
