  Please read this before placing any one here. My father was admitted to Brookdale for a 5 day hospice respite stay while battling both dementia and cancer. He was dying, confused, and in pain, exactly the kind of patient this level of care exists to protect. Instead, our family watched a short stay turn into one of the most frightening experiences. His pain medication was not administered accurately. When he was discharged, we discovered his Oxycodone, over 90 pills at admission, was completely gone. Zero pills came home with him, and no one could account for where they went. One night, agitated and disoriented from his dementia, he refused to return to his room and pushed away the nurses trying to move him. Rather than de-escalating or calling in hospice, staff called the police on an elderly, dying, cognitively impaired man. I was on the phone with him at the time and could hear nurses yelling at him as this unfolded. Hospice was never contacted, even though that is protocol for exactly this kind of situation. When we raised all of this with management, the response was an apology and nothing more. No investigation we were told about, no accountability, no changes offered. I would not wish this experience on any family. If you are considering Brookdale for a hospice or memory care patient, please go in with your eyes open, or better yet, look elsewhere.

  This is an Independent Living with Assisted Living apartment complex. We’ve been here ~8 months and there is a variety of activities so we’ve been making new friends. The staff is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable which is great as we’re new to Denver and Colorado. Food has been good and filling. 4 stars since something might get better.
