My mom has lived at Brookdale Brea for 3 years and we couldn’t be happier! She loves the food! There’s lots of variety and choices. They have a lot of activities that are educational, exciting, thoughtful and enriching. Their outings are also well thought out and planned. The caregivers and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. I would recommend this community to anyone who is looking for a community that cares!

I toured Brookdale Brea. I thought that was an excellent location. They're very structured. I had a really good tour. They have a lot of programs for seniors with different levels of care, and the tour was very comprehensive. I got to see the living quarters, and the apartment, as well as when I went there I think it was 11:00, and I saw seniors having their lunch. And I saw what was provided. It was excellent. Seniors were getting on the shuttle bus to go on excursions. So I think it's a very well-run organized senior home and they told me that there was a resident who was 110 years old. The second oldest senior in Orange County. So I think I thought that was amazing. I saw the menu. They have the two entrees on display at the entrance of the dining area. So I saw it was very good, just the right portion, I think, for a senior. The receptionist was very friendly, and the person who provided the tour was very, very good. She explained everything in detail, and gave me a lot of information.

Brookdale Brea was on a busy street, but overall, the place was amazing. They have all kinds of stuff there. They take them to the movies, sometimes to the beach. They have bingo, people that come in and speak, and movie nights. They got stuff going every day of the week if you wanted to stay busy. The dining room was beautiful and there's a three-hour window for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. So, you didn't have to be there at a certain time. The rooms were a good size and clean. That part was great. There's one to share with somebody. It was all good. I had no complaints about any of that. The staff were professional. The place was spotless. People all seemed happy. The staff and the people in that community were friendly with each other. It seemed like a pretty happy place. They have a beauty shop where a girl comes in once a week and does manicures. They do bank runs twice a week or trips to the 99 cents store or library if you want. They got all the things going on all the time.

Overall positive. She is still adjusting, but not always happy about being there. She could use more encouragement from the staff. When it comes to the cleanliness, she commented she's not sure he was very thorough because he was so fast. She said her bed wasn't changed, but she might have made it up so might have "looked" like it was already changed? She sees spots in carpet. She says they don't always follow through when they say they will do something? Always pleasant with us. She always complements the food!! She's beginning to participate in a few things. She doesn't like to go upstairs„. Prefers the exercise when led by a person. Appreciate the veterans discount, but still quite expensive. We think she is safe and well cared for.

Mom really likes Brookdale Brea. Others looking for a place - be sure to ask a lot of questions on the financial responsibilities including any extra charges for any equipment they may need to have, like oxygen. The main reason we went with Brookdale was because of the cost mom has for little income and we have to help out financially. The overall care is amazing. My big concern was the cleanliness when looking.
