My partner moved into Brookdale Salem Virginia. The grounds are gorgeous. Her room is lovely. She has a refrigerator, a little sink, and a private bath. It's big enough that she could get her full-size bed in, several dressers, a chair, and a bookcase, so it's very nice. The staff members have been delightful. She doesn't want to be there, which is very normal. They're working with her well, and she seems to be less angry than she was. She seems to be eating, and she said she's sleeping well. They've been very accommodating to her, using the little portable phone at the nurse's station. She had a cell phone, which she misplaced somewhere else, so they've been very sweet. I'm very impressed at this point. The facility is beautiful and clean. For what you get, the price seems to be very fair.
Read moreWhen it comes to the quality of care the reason we gave it 2 stars is because our loved ones health has declined beyond the care of assisted living and I believe that Brookdale probably shouldn't have accepted her as a residents. We will be moving our loved one to [community name removed].

I liked Brookdale Salem Virginia. They're professional. It's very, very clean. They're really receptive to the needs that I told them about for my aunt. So, that's why I like them. And they were very kind, very nice. They weren't pushy, and they were just really tuned into what my needs were. The person who gave the tour was very, very professional, very nice, very courteous, and very knowledgeable of the questions that I asked. Just a total all around good experience. I just looked in the dining area, didn't go in because they were having some lunch when I was there. It looked very nice, very clean, smelled really good, and all the patients I noticed seemed to be very receptive. And so, when they're that way, that means to me that they're happy where they are. I asked a couple of the patients' relatives and they said they loved the place. One thing I noticed is they had the little Christmas tree over Christmas. Everybody put down what they would like to have for Christmas, and so in that way, everybody got a Christmas gift from somebody, and were just treats for their pets, all the way up to a nice sweater. And I thought that was pretty cool. They had the fireplaces going in. That was really, really nice, I thought. A couple elderly women stood up next to the fireplaces, and that's a good feeling because then I spoke to them, and those are the ones I went up to and said how do you like it here and everything; they said they love it. So that pretty much sealed the deal for me.

The only frustrating thing we've encountered is with medications. They use a specific pharmacy and require a special order for each medication, so we can't just go to the pharmacy and pick up a prescription like we used to. But I like how much they truly care about my mom. They worked with her to help her adjust when she first moved in, encouraging her to meet people and participate. She's had some anxiety, and their psychiatrist has helped to relieve that. Overall, they're taking very good care of her. The food I tried was good, and they provide a good selection. They offer a variety of fun activities. And I think the cost is reasonable.
