Brookdale Conway

My mom was diagnosed with dementia a couple of years ago. We moved her in with us for over a year. In November she started declining and got to a point we were afraid for her wellbeing. We took her to Brookdale Conway for a visit. After meeting with some staff and taking a tour She made the decision to move in. She never regretted it and loved everything about Brookdale. The grounds inside and out were very clean and orderly. The food was great and she looked forward to eating all 3 meals with her and her friends. We ate several times with her and the food was very good. The activities kept her very busy. Her Aides and Med Techs took the best care of her and showed her so much love and compassion. We were there almost every day and the staff would call us when ever the saw or noticed any changes in her. Towards the end they did everything possible to show mom all the love and compassion they could. Everybody that works are professional in everything they do. Sadly mom lost her fight with dementia in August. The love and compassion shown to us was second to none during her final few weeks. We will always be thankful for the entire staff at Brookdale.

Very pleased. Brookdale is very clean, workers (all) passionate about their work with genuine interest in client interest & concerns. Food is very good with A rating. Very conviently located. Both of us were here for respite care, surgery healing , wife till I can take care her at home.

The staff at Brookdale Conway will care for and love your family as if they were their own. The small atmosphere offers a more personal environment that allows every staff member to truly know, care about and for your loved ones. It is not big, marble, new and shiny but it is incredibly clean and will feel more like home than most of the newer larger facilities.

My dad has been at Brookdale for 18 months now. When we first moved him in he had a good sized room with a living area and a bedroom area. We just moved him into a smaller efficiency room as he really didn’t need the larger space. The efficiency room has plenty of space for the bed table and television. There is a walk-in closet that we are able to put a dresser in as well. The staff is very attentive to him as he requires much care now. He always smiles at the attention he gets from them. For his meals he sits with three other World War II veterans. They always mention what a good eater he is! Dad gets involved in the exercises and also likes movie time with popcorn. The location is about 10 minutes from our house so we were able to visit him frequently. The main thing for us is that he has care around the clock and is doing well for 96 years old.

Nice place for people with a voice. If your mom has dementia do not bring her here. The aides are not experienced enough to care for them as they go down hill. Also short on staff on weekends and nights. Staff also changes all the time. If your mom has allergies to certain foods they don't watch what she eats or drinks. They just ask her if she needs help ,but do not actually see if she does because she always says no. They leave toothpaste on her toothbrush and tell her to brush her teeth and I have found toothpaste dried on the brush from the night before. I thought this place was great in the beginning but now no. Sunday I found her sleeping at a table in the dining Room at 945 am when breakfast is at 8 am. Because no one would help her go back to her room. I am looking for another place for her. But it is hard to move them with dementia.
