Brookdale West Orange was very nice. I liked everything about it. The staff who assisted me during the tour was very thorough, very nice, and did a great follow-up. We went to see the room to see what it was like, and it was very nice.
I will be moving my mother to Brookdale West Orange because it's convenient and clean, and the staff is pretty good and attentive. They have the physical therapy, which is good, transport for the patients to and from the room, and the laundry. The place is very clean.

Brookdale West Orange seemed like a nice place, but I didn't understand when we were walking around, people were sitting there looking at a television screen. There wasn't a movie or anything that was on. They should have put on an old movie or something that they can relate to. The music that was playing, for me, was for a younger generation, but the facility was very clean and very organized. The staff was very friendly and very polite. All that was good, but I did not find what I was looking for, because I don't think my husband is at that stage yet, that he wants to sit still. He would want more activity going on and I don't think there are enough activities there. There was no interaction with the residents. They were sitting either in their wheelchair or in the lobby or in the movie area where a movie wasn't playing.

We toured Brookdale West Orange. The environment was very nice, and it was clean. The welcoming staff was very engaging. The rooms were nice and cozy. It had a very nice and homey feeling. The dining area was nice, and it was classy. They had nice dining utensils, and the atmosphere was really nice. When we were there, it wasn't during the eating schedule, but it was set up. You could tell that they use real plates, forks, spoons, knives, and things like that. The cutlery was nice. The person who gave me the tour was good. He was able to engage with questions and address them. There were different activities, such as painting. They also had arts and crafts. There was bingo, which is always a hit. They had some sing-a-long activities, like karaoke, and that was kind of nice.

I visited Brookdale West Orange and I would not recommend it. The staff is horrible and not attentive, I saw a lot there while I was there. I went there several times when I was considering it, and I don't recommend anybody to go there. The place wasn't clean. It has both memory care and regular assisted living. Their staff was very bad, not responsive, they have this shrug-you-off kinda attitude. They're terrible staff, except for a few people I met there who seemed pretty good, but overall they left a very bad impression. They seemed overworked, they didn't have enough people for the number of people that live there, and they were running around like crazy. They had a salon, a coffee shop, and a store, they have lots of library rooms, and lots of amenities.

Brookdale West Orange was great. The rooms were nice, clean, and functional. Everybody seemed at peace and happy. They were playing bingo when I was there. They showed two types of studios: a small and bigger one. They seemed perfect. They also showed us the beauty shop, the library, the place where they had a computer, their front porch, and the patio outside. Everything was nice. The menu was great, and they have so many options.
