Cogir of Fremont Senior Living

Michelle

We chose Brookdale Fremont because my mom is familiar with the area. It was also a lot less expensive. My mom's apartment is clean and nice, and has brand-new carpeting. She says the food is mediocre, and the place is a little dated. I loved the fact that they do their bed sheets and clean their apartments, and that there's a library.

I visited Brookdale. I liked that they had a fire escape program and fire doors; that really reassured me. The staff was very nice, concerned that I might be stuck in traffic, and invited me back for lunch. They visited my house and brought a holiday gift, which I thought was nice.

My uncle is in Brookdale Fremont. It's nice and it's clean. They have a beauty salon there, a shuttle service that takes you anywhere: to your appointments, shopping, anywhere within five miles. They have a workout room, a workout pool, a big hot tub that you can do exercises in, they have activities there, the residents go on trips, play music, everything. They teach him how to take care of himself a little better and how to put his clothes on. He's in independent assisted living right now. The staff has been really great so far. They're very helpful. It's not brand new, but it's nice. The food is pretty good, and he likes it. I see a lot going on, but he hasn't done any activities as a group yet. Part of the reason we put him in there is because they allowed us to take him there temporarily and it was a furnished apartment already, so he could move in right away. It's a lot more convenient.
