What Families Think

Reviewers describe a lively, well-maintained community where residents socialize easily, enjoy the food, and are cared for by warm, attentive staff — several families note relatives stayed for years and were well looked after through health crises. At the same time, a cluster of reviews raises serious concerns about specific directors' lack of compassion, high staff turnover, a missed-medication incident, and aggressive billing toward family members, so experiences appear to vary depending on who is running the floor at the time.

  • Nursing staff praised for attentive care during hospital stays
  • Pet-friendly with resident pets around campus

  • One report of high staff turnover, 80% in 8 months
  • One report of a missed blood pressure medication dose
  • One report of aggressive billing/collections toward non-signing family members

Care Products Delivered

As a Brookdale resident, you can forgo going to the store for personal items and instead get them delivered right to your front door.

Placing an order is easy. You simply send an email, selecting the items you need delivered, and the order is charged directly to the resident’s monthly bill. You can order recurring monthly shipments or merely place a one-time order.  All items include free delivery, and will arrive to the resident’s door in discreet, plain packaging to respect their privacy.

A high quality of life encompasses many things, but the place you call home is probably near the top of the list. When you move to Brookdale Central Paradise Valley, you can choose from multiple apartment floor plans, ranging from a 550 sq. ft. single studio unit to a spacious 950 sq. ft. two-bedroom residence with a kitchen, living room, and private bathroom.

The residents are some of the best people you’ll ever meet. But the staff on the other hand….terrible. The directors are some of the least empathetic people you will ever meet. I have first hand witnessed them calling residents annoying, difficult, and crazy. The residents will fall or have accidents and families aren’t informed or notified. The executive director, Kelly, truly doesn’t care about the residents nor her staff. I truly feel bad for the residents.
