Brookdale Gables Farmington was lovely. They have very nice grounds. A lot of the residents have a lot to say about how it's run. One of the ladies that was showing me around was telling me how some people that live there came to her and said "We have soda cans when we go and have our meals, but there's no place to recycle them. We'd like to have a recycling facility here, like containers and stuff." And they were able to start up their own facility for recycling their cans and that kind of stuff. So, I thought that was good. They listen to their residents. It seemed very nice. The apartments were very conducive. Not at all claustrophobic. They had just enough space. They all had full kitchens and full baths with grab bars. They were very appropriate for the people that would live there. It might have been lunchtime when we went there and the food smelled really good. There were still some residents that were sitting down having lunch and they seemed to be very satisfied. There was a variety of food on the menu. It wasn't just one menu. They have a daily menu, but they also have a recurring menu, one with foods that the majority of residents have asked for. They have certain items every day so that they're never without something that they like.

Brookdale Gables Farmington was right on the lake. It was a very nice atmosphere and you had a choice of foods. You don't have to have one meal every day. You have a choice and they cater to your diet needs. The apartments were very spacious and very nice. The one bedroom that we saw had a lot of sunshine coming in the windows. It was very nice and very clean. Then they had a two-bedroom apartment that was spacious and huge, but the one-bedroom was big enough for us. The staff was very nice and very professional. They have a beauty salon, a library, and a communal PC. They also have special rooms that if you do have an event, you could use that room or if you have a family that would come over to eat with you. They gave us lunch and it was good.

2019 we found this place & it was run by a different ED, maybe that's it, IDK. My mother was invited to be in independent living then, an ok apartment, good enough, nothing fancy, some activities, pretty environment. Back then, we asked about her mild cognitive impairment & how we might move forward through care levels as needed. We were promised that my mother wouldn't have to move, could "age in place," & that supports could be provided at an affordable rate as her needs increased. Now, not sure why really, but we are being shaken down by the new ED who sent us an email at 8pm last night saying my mother must leave or they will call protective services on us if we do not take her out or add a costly (? how much ?) 24x7 caregiver from their preapproved list by noon today. My mother has never eloped, is not a wandering risk, has no toileting/bathing needs. So much more about this facility/mgt that has been a problem in the past year or 2 not enough space in this review-do not go there!

Read moreBrookdale Gables Farmington is a very dated facility and mediocre "bells & whistles" compared to some other local options. But good value for the square footage in the apartment. It is in a beautiful, quiet setting off of the main road. Convenient to stores, etc.
