Amazed with the staff. They are very caring and nice. The facility is clean and organized. I didn’t try their food but at lunchtime, the residents were full of smiles and smacks. Most all of the residents seemed happy which is not what I was expecting when I visited a friend.
Being a retired physician, I’ve been in a lot of nursing homes but nothing prepared me for my mother becoming a patient in one. Mama, who is a young ninety six, had lived with my sister after our father died several years ago. She eventually moved to assisted living in her hometown. Increasing health problems required a nursing home and we chose one close to her hometown, friends, and family. Now my mother is an independent sort. One of her favorite sayings is “I don’t want to be a bother.” That attitude in a woefully understaffed nursing home led to problems. Instead of getting someone to…

Being a retired physician, I’ve been in a lot of nursing homes but nothing prepared me for my mother becoming a patient in one. Mama, who is a young ninety six, had lived with my sister after our father died several years ago. She eventually moved to assisted living in her hometown. Increasing health problems required a nursing home and we chose one close to her hometown, friends, and family. Now my mother is an independent sort. One of her favorite sayings is “I don’t want to be a bother.” That attitude in a woefully understaffed nursing home led to problems. Instead of getting someone to help her she tried to do her own bath while sitting in a wheelchair or she would sit in a wet diaper until someone happened by which led to hygiene problems. She didn’t go to the dining room or to activities. It got to the point where she sat in her room with the door closed and the blinds down all the time and she started dying! Since she didn’t walk, she lost muscle mass and started falling- once suffering a forehead laceration. Thank God she didn’t break her hip. When she reached the point of episodic confusion, slurred speech and forgetting grandchildren’s names we knew we had to do something. At this point she was eating very little. My wife Laura and I visited Brookdale Hartwell. Cathy O’Brien was so concerned with our story that she and Jackie Heard visited Mama the next day and said they could help. Mama’s response was NO! She didn’t want to be further away from her daughter, her friends who visited and her hometown. Her condition continued to decline so as a family we all agreed to go against her wishes and we relocated her to Brookdale. She was madder than a wet hen with being moved so far from her home territory but within 24 hours her attitude changed. At Brookdale she walks to the dining room for three meals a day. She takes part in Bingo and exercise and talks with her new friends with a big smile on her face. Your loved one deserves every effort you can make to place them in a clean, nurturing environment staffed by loving and dedicated professionals like Brookdale. To Cathy and Jackie and all your staff at Brookdale Hartwell: Thank you. You saved my mother’s life. I realize she won’t live forever but while she is with us she deserves to be happy and comfortable. Respectfully, A W Daws MD

Brookdale Hartwell staff and facilities are warm and caring to my loved one. I know he is cared for and takes a lot of worry off of me.
Very nice with friendly employees
Quality staff. Family atmosphere. Great community support.
Brookdale Hartwell is considered to be the Cadillac of senior living facilities. It is certainly the most expensive, but they are consistently understaffed. I shudder to think how poorly my mother would have been cared for had I not been there to advocate for her. The meals were mediocre, sometimes a sack supper in weekends, consisting of a sandwich (cheap white bread, slice of ham, no mayonnaise or mustard), tiny bag of Cheetos, and a small, off brand Rice Krispie bar. No fruit. Holiday meals when family was invited were very good, but the other meals were plain. When you consider that taste is one of the last senses to go, it seems more effort should be made. My mother’s last week of life was filled with terrible memories of my having to help the two on staff clean her up at night and change her. I had to ask that her soiled sheets be re-washed as they were not clean, and when I retrieved her spare sheets that were folded in her closet I found them still soiled.
My husband had dementia and Brookdale had the secure memory care unit. They were very helpful with helping me complete all paperwork and very knowledgeable of his condition.
