Overall Review of Brookside Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center

common 4 reviews mention this

Daily activities and outings

Residents and visitors describe an active schedule with activities and community events.

Several reviews mention activities running throughout the day, and families describe residents being engaged rather than isolated. One reviewer also calls out weekly-style community events like a luau, along with a library. Others mention church attendance or socializing, including for residents with dementia.

Food quality gets mixed

Food quality is a recurring point of disagreement among reviewers.

Some reviewers say the food is cold, served incorrectly, or not matching dietary notes, and they describe needing to request medications and meals to keep things on track. Other reviewers report the food being good, while one says they saw meals come out and were not impressed. Even positive comments include a wish for more appealing food.

caveat 4 reviews mention this

Cleanliness and odors vary

Cleanliness and odors come up repeatedly in both positive and negative reviews.

A few reviews praise the facility as clean and well organized, including during visits. Other reviewers describe strong unpleasant odors, dirty rooms or floors, and the need for more cleaning. One negative review specifically calls out urine odor and incompetence, while another describes old rooms and dirty bathrooms.

caveat 6 reviews mention this

Nursing rounds and medication timing

Medication timing and consistent checks by nursing are described unevenly.

Multiple negative reviews complain that staff do not round on patients as they should, delay basic care like changing someone’s pull-up, or miss medications on time. Several reviewers also say they had to press repeatedly for medication delivery or better follow-through with care needs and dietary instructions. A smaller number of positive reviews describe care conferences, responsive communication, and professional staff during rehab and hospice.

common 5 reviews mention this

Therapy help and care communication

Physical and occupational therapy support, plus communication, are repeatedly mentioned.

Many reviewers describe therapy and rehabilitation progress, including getting residents up and moving and support from PT/OT. Families also mention ongoing communication through care conferences and frequent updates about condition and concerns. Even in reviews that are critical overall, the presence of therapy departments and structured communication processes comes through.
