Brookdale Avondale receives mixed reviews, with many praising its welcoming atmosphere, attentive staff, and clean facilities. Residents and their families often describe the community as feeling like family, with staff members knowing residents by name and providing compassionate care. The facility is noted for its home-like environment, with amenities such as comfort dogs, a library, and a courtyard. Many appreciate the activities offered and the quality of food, although some express concerns about the lack of fresh fruits and vegetables. However, there are significant criticisms, particularly regarding staff turnover and management issues. Some reviews highlight unethical pricing practices, with unexpected rate increases causing financial strain. Concerns are also raised about the facility's ability to handle residents with dementia, as it is not specifically designed for memory care. Staffing shortages, especially in the kitchen and on the floor, are mentioned as ongoing issues. Overall, while Brookdale Avondale is praised for its caring environment and attentive staff, potential residents and their families should be aware of the reported challenges related to pricing, staffing, and suitability for dementia care.

I have been a part of the Brookdale Avondale community and I can confidently say that it is an amazing place. Everyone here from the staff to the residents are all part of one big family. The comfort, care, respect and provision given to the residents is second to none, with special live music and outdoor nature strolls being provided. On top of this, there are even comfort dogs for residents to pet and hold. It is a safe and secure place to be and after 14 months I couldn't be happier!
