About Brookdale University Park

Brookdale University Park is a continuing care retirement community in Birmingham, offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing all on one campus. This structure allows residents to move between levels of care as their needs change, without having to relocate to a different community or navigate a new environment during a transition. For families, this type of campus can offer peace of mind: a spouse needing independent living and a partner requiring memory care or skilled nursing can often remain close to one another within the same community. It may also suit individuals who want to plan ahead for future care needs while currently living independently, as well as those who need more immediate, hands-on support following a hospital stay or health change. Families considering Brookdale University Park should reach out directly to learn more about specific daily routines, dining options, activities, and other details that matter most for their particular situation.

Brookdale University Park - What a beautiful campus! I was warmly greeted by the staff upon arrival and given a personalized tour. I was delighted by what I saw! The interactions between staff and residents were heartwarming, and there was a incredible aroma from the dining room. My wife and I enjoyed an amazing meal (the vegetable-beef stew was wonderful)! Before leaving, I stopped by the Brookdale Bistro for a cup of coffee. Overall great experience! I would certainly recommend Brookdale University Park to anyone looking for senior living care and services.

My mom was transferred to Brookdale from Brookwood Hospital for rehab after a serious wreck. She had to wear a back brace to do her rehab due to compression fractures. The rehab staff did not know how to put the back brace on, and would barely try to do it. Then, they would say her time was used up because they took so long with the brace, or at best, they gave her 15-20 minutes therapy. During the time she was there, she got pneumonia and a UTI. This caused her (age 95) to go downhill, and we had to put her on hospice. She was told by one staff member NOT to push her call button. Most of the staff, not all, seemed miserable at their jobs and would come in with their hands on their hips and would say,”What do you want”. We were extremely disappointed in the management, and they did not follow through to help with problems. We paid $14,000 per month after Medicare stopped paying, and we did not get our moneys worth. After three months, we moved my mom to another facility which costs half as much, and the staff is warm and loving, and take much better care of my mom. I would not recommend Brookdale to anyone who loves their family member.

We are extremely disappointed with our experience at Brookdale regarding the handling of my grandmother’s move-in. During the move-in process, we worked directly with Sheila, who verbally promised a move-in discount of one month free rent. We explicitly reviewed and confirmed these terms with her before proceeding. Despite this clear agreement, we were charged the full amount with no discount applied. When we raised the issue, there was no accountability for the mistake and no straightforward resolution offered. Trusting a staff member’s word on pricing should not lead to a billing dispute, especially for a family making a difficult transition for an elderly loved one. This kind of miscommunication and lack of follow-through is unacceptable for a company entrusted with senior care and finances. We expected professionalism and transparency, and instead had to fight to get what was promised to us in writing after the fact. I’d strongly caution other families to get every discount and promise in writing before signing anything with this location.

I was living at another senior living facility and left it due to poor management, conditions of building, staff turnover, and dining experiences. I visited several other facilities and found Brookdale to offer the best of all the above.

Completely thrilled and amazed at how professionally and lovingly this facility has welcomed my difficult to live with Dad. He is thriving there and removing him from the death trap of his house and bad habits not taking effective care of himself and living as a loner has been completely reversed by his voluntary decision to move to Brookdale University - Birmingham. He loves the food. He loves the drumming circles, he has made friends, his health has dramatically improved by eating healthy food and having regular care and attention from the staff.
