Brookdale West Orange

Updated review Unfortunately our time at Brookdale has come to an end with the passing of my Mom. Looking back Brookdale West Orange was the best choice for my Mom. The nursing and support staff were caring, attentive and truly compassionate. They treated Mom as if she were a family member. They coordinated very well with Hospice care and a private aide care service that they recommended and were excellent in their own right. Could not ask for anything more. My family and I sincerely recommend Brookdale West Orange for all of the reasons I have provided in this review. Very pleased with level of care provided to our Mom. Nursing staff very professional, dedicated and attentive. Staff at all levels very kind, warm and supportive with a very positive attitude for all residents. They will sometimes go above and beyond, which further enhances the experience. Variety of activities in house and via trips. helps foster good community spirit. Safe apartment with new appliances provided on move in. The facilities could use a bit of a sprucing up but are clean and decorated nicely for each season or event. Nice rooms for private celebrations. Given elevated costs for senior living care, overall a really good value. We are very satisfied that we chose Brookdale, West Orange.

I had a great experience with my Father at Brookdale Senior living in West Orange. He was in hospice there and needed comfort care for 2 weeks. The staff and nurses were so compassionate and caring. Lynda, Diana, Deborah, Trishia and all the nurses and staff were Amazing! The space is bright compared to many we have visited. It’s hidden behind beautiful trees for privacy. Oh! I loved the happy hour too! The food was good and facility was very clean. He wore a necklace that buzzed when he needed nurse service and they would come to help. I hope you would consider having your loved one here. It comforted our family that he was in a good place during his last days with staff tending to him when needed. ♥️

My mother has lived at Brookdale West Orange since 2014. She has been very happy there and likes the food as well. The staff is wonderful and are always very helpful and supportive. Jay Brooks, the current director, has been one of the best directors she has had since she arrived. He has made this very tough time as bearable as possible. He treats the residents as family. All of the workers do the same. My brothers and sisters and I are very happy with the care our mother receives every day.
