Brookdale Forest City receives mixed reviews from residents and their families. Many praise the facility for its caring and attentive staff, highlighting individuals like Dawn, Kristin, Sharon, David, and Carlos. The community is described as having a welcoming atmosphere, with spacious rooms and a variety of activities, including arts, crafts, and music. The memory care unit is particularly noted for its effective layout and dedicated staff, which some families found beneficial for their loved ones with dementia. However, there are significant concerns about the facility's administration and billing processes. Some families experienced issues with long-term insurance payments and unexpected charges for services like medication administration and showers. These financial challenges led some to move their loved ones to more affordable facilities. Additionally, there are reports of frequent staff turnover, which some believe contributed to inconsistent care and communication issues. While many residents enjoy the food and dining experience, others feel the facility is outdated and in need of renovations. Some families reported serious incidents, such as falls and medical oversights, which they attribute to a lack of proper care and attention. Despite these concerns, several reviewers express satisfaction with the overall environment and the improvement in their loved ones' health and well-being. In summary, Brookdale Forest City is appreciated for its compassionate staff and engaging activities, but it faces criticism for administrative and financial issues, as well as occasional lapses in care. Potential residents and their families are advised to carefully consider these factors when choosing the facility.

December 2022
I was worried about the transition of my mom into an assisted living facility. Fortunately, Brookdale Forest City provided excellent care and exceeded all expectations. The memory care unit had a great layout and decorations that gave the residents something to do and interact with, and the staff were very kind. My mother has seen both physical and cognitive improvements since moving in, and I have heard there is a great cook there as well. Overall, I highly recommend this facility for its outstanding care.
