8 Nursing Homes Communities in Whittier, California

Robin

Brookdale Central Whittier is an excellent facility; it's nice and clean. The staff was very nice, and what stood out is its cleanliness, because that's what I want for my mother. They have a lot of activities, and my mother would have enjoyed being there if she were to be there. They seem like they like the staff. They've probably been there awhile, and it seemed like that was home for them.

Brookdale Uptown Whittier facility is very clean, I like the staff, and I like the amenities. They have good exercise programs for seniors, just like the other place we toured. They take the residents on trips and outings, which I liked. They have the same type of programs for their affiliate community, which we also toured.

My sister moved into Brookdale Uptown Whittier, and they are wonderful. I love the staff, and they have done well. They were very attentive, and they really pay attention to the people. I went in there to check it out before my sister moved in. They were very nice and very informative. It's a two-bedroom apartment with a kitchenette, and it was perfect for her. I don't think they have many activities yet because of COVID, but I think they are starting to have them again. They have started to allow friends and family to visit. It looks like they have begun serving meals in the main dining area. Everything seems to be perfect. They don't have a coffee shop because there is one within walking distance. They do offer coffee in the mornings. They have a library, and they have a place where they can do puzzles; they have quite a few things. They are informative, and they let me know if something is going on with her. The food was great. I've seen the menu, and it is put together well.

I went to Brookdale Central Whittier. The lady there is very good. She is a very nice lady. It's a large facility. It wasn't updated, but it was clean and it didn't smell. The rooms were large. They were nice and clean. The staff was really nice. The dining area was large. They only have one dining room. There's an exercise room and a snack area. They have what they call Netflix and Chill. They also have Brookdale bookstore, arts and crafts, card games, resident engagement, and video calls with family. The only thing that I didn't like about the facility itself is that there are carpets throughout the place. They said they're changing that, but in some areas the carpet wasn't really clean. They had changed the carpets in the rooms, but they hadn't changed them in the hallways.

The tour experience at Brookdale Uptown Whittier was very nice, but it’s not appropriate for my father’s needs. They showed us units, and all of the extras added to the original cost. They were very honest with all of the costs. It was also very clean, and very nice. There were no free amenities except the meals. The dining room looked very nice, and the outside was very clean.
