Brookdale Arvada

Gina in Admissions is the best. Absolutely fabulous to work with. She makes the admissions process simple and straight forward. I highly recommend working with her and her team.

Knowing what a difficult job it is to care for the elderly, we think that the Brookdale Arvada does an exceptional job caring for our mom. They are loving, kind and professional. They value humor and take every opportunity to celebrate life with their residents. Special Kudos to Allyson who has gone far above to provide fun outings for the residents on a consistent basis. She is safe, inclusive, and especially interactive with those in her care. Thank you all for how you take care of our mom and for loving her as we do!

Writing this review on behalf of my family - we moved my grandpa here to Colorado from Arizona, and he stayed at Brookdale Arvada for 5 years until his passing. We are very thankful for the staff here and how they took care of him. They were so kind and patient with him. He loved them just as much as they loved him. The staff became family and we will miss them dearly.

My parents are in the memory care and they are so happy with both the other residents and the staff. So many activities, so much personal attention, and everyone is so friendly. Gina gave us our initial tour and went out of her way to make us feel welcome and cared for. Highly recommend!

I placed my mom at Brookdale Arvada Memory Care in the summer of 2021. She has advanced dementia and we were assured that she would be checked on and taken to the bathroom every couple of hours. We were also told that there would be 5 memory/mind stimulating activities daily. The majority of what we were promised, never happened. My mom spent 3-4 hours at a time in her room alone and unattended. The activities rarely happened and she declined both physically and cognitively very quickly. When we would go see her, she was often wet and smelled of urine. Her room was not cleaned consistently and especially the bathroom sink and counter were often filthy. There were times that wet bed sheets remainded in her hamper for 2 days. They were not placed in a bag and her room wreaked of urine. When I called the facility, I consistently did not get an answer. If there had been an emergency situation, I likely would not have reached the staff. When my family went to visit, we often stood at the secured memory care entrance up to 15 minutes before someone let us in. In addition, I made it very clear from the start that my mom needed consistent cueing with eating. It was rare that someone closely monitored her at mealtime. After being there 2-3 months, she lost over 10 pounds. If your loved one has advanced dementia and is totally unable to advocate for themselves, I caution you against moving them to Brookdale Arvada. There were a couple of caregivers that did their best to care for my mom, but they were understaffed and did not operate according to a diligent and professional set of standards. There was consistent agency staff who knew nothing about the residents and their unique and individual needs. Several of the staff members that I grew to trust and respect, didn't stay. It was a very stressful period of time for our entire family.
