The Colonnade at Carrollwood

Kendall Feickert

I have loved this community, residents and care staff for as long as I have been working with the elderly population as a therapist. I was the Director of Rehabilitation 9 years ago at this community and am now back as the Therapy Program Manager with Select Rehabilitation at the Colonnade at Carrollwood...I truly feel like it has been a coming home experience. The atmosphere is so loving, happy, and welcoming. The staff have longevity and give compassionate care to the residents. It is such a joy to come to work here every day with such a wonderful care team of resident care aides, nursing, management staff, and now a therapy department. The residents have become like family with everyone looking out for one another. It has been such an uplifting experience to be able to provide the residents the therapy onsite giving them the services they need!

As soon as we walked in the front door we were warmly greeted for our tour. My grandmother was looking at options of assisted living. We visited several and felt like The Colonnade at Carrollwood would have been the perfect fit for her needs. The staff was friendly, went above and beyond to answer all of our questions, and followed up. The residents seemed very happy during our tour and the it was very clean. The apartment size was perfect. The activities offered would keep anyone busy all week long. At the last moment before making our decision a family member invited my grandmother to move in out of state. Otherwise, The Colonnade at Carrollwood would have been her choice! Thank you to all the staff for their patience, friendliness, and compassion.

My mother entered Brookdale Carrollwood in early December after suffering a mini-stroke. She needed 24/7 care. The staff at Brookdale attended to her needs with professionalism and genuine care. Knowing she was a new resident, the night staff regularly checked in on her insuring her comfort. I witnessed that fact after arriving at 7:00am on her 2nd day to take her to a 9:00am doctor appointment. Initially, my mother was not communicating, nor eating much. When she didn't show up for meals the staff followed up every time and would even bring a tray of food to her room. As I visited each week, the staff kept me updated on her progress. She opened up more with the other residents and attended meals in the dining room. Her transformation was nothing short of amazing. And at the age of 89, she even had a little more pep in her step without needing a cane or walker! Thank you Brookdale for ALL that you do! George Murray

My grandfather has been here for a couple months now and is very happy. So far our family is very satisfied with Brookdale Carrollwood. They've always got something going on in the lobby to keep residents engaged. The staff has been very attentive and caring. My grandpa says the food is pretty good. He's put on a few badly needed pounds since moving in. The place always seems clean when we visit, which is weekly. His laundry is done weekly on a consistent basis too. They renovated his room from top to bottom before he moved in and it looks great. He got brand new everything, including a new kitchenette, mini fridge, and bathroom vanity/sink and fixtures. They even regrouted his shower at our request. Long story short, this is the happiest and healthiest I've seen my grandpa since my grandma died. He stays engaged and interacts with people now. We've seen a huge improvement in him overall since he moved in. I've also been over there very late in the evening, and personally witnessed staff quietly poking their head in to make sure residents got to bed safely and didn't need anything. We feel he's safe and watched over there. My family would definitely recommend Brookdale Carrollwood.
