my mother-in law was moved to brookdale on 9-28-17 she died 3 weeks later, she fell and cut her left leg almost to the bone, then she fell about 2 weeks later and had a hematoma on the left side of her head and face she died about a week later. i was told that she could not have bed rails because of the state regulations, (THAT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED). when i signed the paper work i was told the rent would be $4,000.00 a month and $1,000.00 to move in. the first bill i received was after she passed away and they had raised her rent $393.45 for basic service. i was told that the $4,000.00 was all inclusive. the food looked like a well balanced meal, looked very good and their was an aid at the table to assist anyone that needed it. the staff was very helpful and nice, it was a friendly and well maintained place. My mother was under hospice care and when it was time they had no beds, therefore she passed away at brookdale. My concern was that the staff did not seem to be informed about the progress of the patients, several aids came in and said (what happened she was not like this before). they should have a briefing on their patients every day especially the ones that have major changes. the biggest concern was getting her the morphine she needed at the end, she suffered for the last day i had to call hospice to come and make sure she got the morphine. one nurse Tanya was very well versed on end of like care. she willing gave her meds as often as she needed however she was not on duty when things got rough. some management felt she did not need the morphine because she did not look like she was in pain. they need to be educated on the use of morphine, it is not only for pain, it would have helped with respirations and the fact that she was drowning in her own saliva. THAT WAS HARD TO LISTEN TO and she finally got morphine at my insistence and the hospice nurse coming back to order it. she passed away about 10 minutes later. I would recommend Brookdale to other people, when you sign the contract be sure that you know more about the money end of it. i would like to see these homes try to get the state regulations changed about the restraints, i mean bed rails not straight jackets. Thank you Tanya for everything! april howell
