Brookdale Bloomsburg

Although Mom’s stay at Brookdale was relatively short, we will always have the deepest gratitude for the experience she had with you in the last months of her life. She so enjoyed her dining partners, the great care and attention she was given by all the staff, and the activities which enriched her life. Special thanks to Ron for his gentle attention on the rides they took which she loved. As her family, we couldn’t be happier with the help, instruction and guidance generously shared with us as we made decisions concerning Mom’s care. Deborah, Diane, Jasmyn, Sandra and more were always so gracious to us. From help with Mom’s 100th birthday party to clearing her room after she passed - there was no end to the kindness. It blessed Mom’s life and ours to be associated with Brookdale.

I really appreciate what a great job Brookdale Bloomsburg did taking care of my father for the final years of his life. Dealing with the challenges presented by an elderly parent is bad enough, but trying to do so from many miles away is even worse. With my dad at Brookdale, I knew that he was safe and well-cared-for, even if I wasn't able to visit as often as I wanted to. Everyone on the staff was kind and caring, and I was always kept informed of the goings on, how my father was doing between visits, and so forth. There is definitely a sense of community, which I know my father enjoyed. It's never an easy decision, but if you've reached that point with a loved one, Brookdale Bloomsburg is a good choice and deserves your consideration.

Brookdale has become a family affair! My first experience with Brookdale Bloomsburg was in 2018, when my father was suffering from lung cancer and could no longer stay alone. Within a few days of the initial inquiry, he was moved in and had everything he needed through Hospice and Brookdale. He enjoyed going to the dining room and choosing his meal from the daily menus, and quickly chatted up the other residents. Unfortunately, his stay was brief due to his passing, but I could tell he felt safe and cared for at Brookdale. Shortly after my father passed, my 88 year old in-laws were having difficulty managing at home, so we suggested Brookdale. Though hesitant at first, they have now been there for two and a half years and are very content. They love the staff, the activities, and the reassurance of having assistance 24/7. Our fourth family member to reside at Brookdale was my mother. She was also on hospice and when it became obvious that she could no longer live independently, I inquired about availability at Brookdale. Within 24 hours of my initial call, she was safely moved in and being cared for around the clock. I can't say enough about this facility. From the moment you walk in the door, it feels comfortable. It feels as though you are entering a lovely community. The facility is homey and decorated beautifully for all seasons. The residents are free to move around, participate in activities and socialize with each other. The staff is friendly and makes you feel like part of the family. Communication regarding any issues with your loved one is a given, and in a timely manner. There are a selection of room sizes and accommodations to suit individuals or couples. Pets are even allowed! There are plenty of activities and even weekly outings planned. Brookdale works with support services such as physical therapy and hospice, and has a nurse practitioner that visits regularly, along with a podiatrist. Brookdale Bloomsburg has been a lifesaver for us. We have complete confidence in them and the care that they provide, from the top down.

My mother lived at Brookdale for approximately 5 years. The administrators, nursing staff, and caregivers at the Bloomsburg location all worked together to provide the best experience and care for their residents. They were friendly, flexible and able to accommodate special needs and situations as they arose. Their daily activities kept the residents engaged, and the facility was always clean, well kept, and welcoming. We looked at several other senior living communities and are so glad we chose Brookdale Bloomsburg.

My mother entered the facility in the midst of COVID in 2020. It was one of the hardest things that we did. The caregivers were very helpful, understanding, and cooperative. We never thought COVID would impact the healthcare system like it did. It was very difficult to visit through a window. Certainly not Brookdale's problem...just unfortunate for our elderly family members. My mother has been at Brookdale for three years now. She loves the staff, the facility, and considerers it home. The food, staff, facility cleanliness, and care are top notch. Her ALZ status is changing slowly but our biggest concern now is her cancer diagnosis. The majority of the staff are very kind and concerned for my mother's care and are dealing with the changes in this very dynamic 98-year old. Brookdale was instrumental in informing us of the benefits of early Hospice care for Mom. I'd say that my one complaint would be the turnover in staff (as many facilities are trying to conquer). It is difficult for my mother (as well as us) to remember all the new names and faces. I'd give Brookdale Bloomsburg a positive recommendation to anyone who asks.
