My parents have been in Brookdale Eddy Pond West for two weeks now, and everyone has been very helpful, very kind, and very happy there. They are comfortable and felt at home right after the first day. We've been able to get the services they need, which is a great relief to us. The place is clean and well kept, and they dealt with COVID correctly. My parents have a two-bedroom, two-bath, handicap-accessible room. It has a kitchenette with a fridge in it, a microwave, and a sink. They have a little dinette table where they can sit and eat, or they have a choice to go into the dining room and eat there, too. The facility also offers a three-bedroom option. They happen to be on the first floor with a walk-out sliding door that opens up to a patio, which makes it really nice. They have laundry services, cleaning services, meal preparation, and nurses going in and helping them. They are able to switch from primary care and have them take minor things at the facility. They also do card games, but they are just starting to open everything up. They love the food, as well.

Brookdale Eddy Pond West was a little bit older; it has been around for a long time. The staff there was wonderful. The place there is good, and it's clean. It's not quite as up to date or elegant as the other place; however, it seemed a lot more friendly in some ways, and certainly a lot more flexible in what the residents were able to do. We saw a one-bedroom, which was very nice -- although a little bit older -- but well maintained and certainly clean.

My father is a resident of Brookdale Eddy Pond East. Personally, I love it, he loves it, and he's doing so much better in this facility. The improvement he's made is remarkable. A lot of it has to do with having his own space, his own little apartment, and the care they give him there is great. The place is very well kept, I've never walked in there and smelled like a nursing home smell, the staff is friendly, helpful, and the food is good compared to other places he's been. They had a cathedral ceiling room with a big fireplace, and it's just a very warm and welcoming environment.

When I came home from our tour at Brookdale Eddy Pond East, I told my husband I would move there tomorrow. It was very clean, the residents were in an area conversing, and it was a nice atmosphere. The staff was very nice, and very sweet. The dining area was very beautiful. I didn't care for the food, but the dining area was very nice. The people were reading newspapers, they were chatting, and there was another room where a woman was doing puzzles, but they have all kinds of activities like painting, game nights, and movie nights. It was a very nice atmosphere.
