Not the right fit for me!
reviewed on: 09/19/2016 by AnonymousThe staff that offered the tour of Brookdale Castle Hills were very friendly and they were able to address all of my concerns. They seemed to offer a higher level of care for assisted living. The community was not as active as I was looking for.
Courteous Staff!!
reviewed on: 10/24/2016 by AnonymousMy parents seem to be really liking the variety of meals that are offered at this community, there are many healthy options as well as an alternate menu for the residents to choose from if they are dissatisfied with what is being served. I do think that there could be some improvements on the staffing , they often seem very overwhelmed and short staff.
Mother loves it at Brookdale Castle Hills!
reviewed on: 03/29/2016 by Amy StrobiettoMoving my mother to Brookdale Castle Hills has been a wonderful experience! The staff is absolutely fantastic! Estella, the Sales Manager, is a joy to work with and was instrumental in assisting us through the process. I don't know what we would have done without her expertise. The nursing staff and care are top notch and do a great job of communicating with family as needed. They are kind and gentle people who take wonderful care of their residents. This facility has a family environment and culture that makes you feel comfortable and at home. There are tons of activities, exercise classes, and trips that are fun and keep the residents active and happy. My mother lives in a spacious studio apartment that has lovely wood floors and plenty of room. The meals are prepared lovingly and are super delicious. My mother brags daily about the food! Brookdale Caste Hills has been such a blessing for my mother and she looks forward to keeping this as her home for many years to come!
I am pleased with it.
reviewed on: 06/23/2014 by Silas M. Crutchfield IIII am pleased with it. The one thing that was an issue, was my contact information, I gave them all of my current contact information, somehow, they got an address that I had years ago and used that to mail some very important paperwork. Other than that they seem to be doing well.
