My mother entered Brookdale Portage for a respite stay. After touring a few places, Brookdale felt the closest to “home”. My mother enjoyed her stay and looks forward to visiting the friends she made there. I am very impressed with both their services and the caring staff they have there.
It has been comfortable, more space in the room then what I was expecting. The staff overall have been pleasant. Being able to have my dog here has been a treat. The in-house therapy has been wonderful.
Their onboarding is terrible. They do not accommodate meal requests. If a resident wants to eat in their room is a [fee charged] charge. If the resident has a very picky pallet they are not accommodating. The activities are all on the lower level which was confusing for my mom on how to get there. ...
Their onboarding is terrible. They do not accommodate meal requests. If a resident wants to eat in their room is a [fee charged] charge. If the resident has a very picky pallet they are not accommodating. The activities are all on the lower level which was confusing for my mom on how to get there. I didn't feel their staff was very welcoming in making my mom feel like this was her home. In [date removed] my mom had an episode that they couldn't control. My mom ended up inpatient geriatric evaluation and was diagnose with two kinds of dementia. We then moved her to a memory care until. Their bookkeeping of accounts was not very well done. I know they had some big staff changes about the time we moved my mom out so it's probably a lot different there now. I know Brookdale was a 5 star rating. I would not give them that for at the time my mom was there.
Read moreThe staff at Brookdale Portage really cares and gets to know the residents and families. I would recommend them to other families looking for assisted living for a loved one.
I would say they were a beautiful facility with an awesome Executive Director and welcoming staff. They did a wonderful job caring for my father until the end. I would recommend this community to other families. It is in a great area. I was able to take my dad for walks in the Fall.
The overall community is clean. However, my mom's room is RARELY cleaned - except by me. Also there has been a $600 a month increase which is astronomical. Especially for someone on fixed income.
