Diana and I moved to Brookdale Skyline May, 2025. We were shown one of the cottages and found it quite suitable. Building community is important to us. We have enjoyed becoming friends with neighbors and others involved with the many activities offered here. Maintenance can be a problem but is slowly improving.
I do not live in the main facility but do rent a small cottage inside the property. I am pleased with the location and my neighbors are wonderful. Although you may hear complaints about response times for maintenance and communication, which can be a problem, the Executive Director inherited a troubled community and is working his way through these issues to include more staff. Skyline not only has the main facility to oversee but, unlike other Brookdale communities, has the cottages/townhomes to maintain also, which makes for some of the problems. Brookdale is a corporation and most of the decisions have to be made at the highest level of the corporation, taking time and patience. In spite of the above mentioned weaknesses, I recommend this Brookdale. I investigated other communities and found this one closest to meeting my needs.
My husband is there for rehab after being very ill. So far, he has had no rehab done & his roommate gets to watch TV at top volume, while the staff is making my husband watch TV with subtitles. And they also went thru his stuff. He's not dementia, he's not a junkie, yet they insisted on going thru his stuff, throwing his medications into his bag without the lids on, so now I get to try to figure out what's what for 7 bottles. He can't get a blanket or a simple glass of water from the staff. They say they'll get it, walk away, & aren't seen again till hours later. I don't know how the are for their other services, but I very highly do NOT recommend this place for their rehab services. Do not send your relatives here. If they start treating him better, I'll change my review, but as of right now, I'm furious with them.
This place is declining fast. When we first moved a relative in a few years ago, it was very different. They had a secure gate which was something that we felt was important. They have removed that security now and anyone can just walk into these buildings at any hour. It is not secure at all here. When we questioned why they removed the guard, we were told that they never had a security guard. Literally gaslighting and lying. Once they get you in, they skyrocket the rent every year. It has almost doubled in 4 years. Absolutely no communication. We have called and left messages to the executive director and they do not return calls. They have a pretty extreme turnover of employees. Do not bring your loved one to live here!!
The first time I ever toured on property at Brookdale Skyline I was absolutely floored. The campus is so lovely and in a perfect location. All of the staff I interacted with were so friendly and helpful and I would definitely recommend this facility to anyone I know that’s looking for assisted living. Also they have the sweetest birds in the lobby ☺️
