The rooms are fine if a little outdated. The staff seem to care less and do the minimum amount of work. The food is terrible. Last night my family member could not eat the dinner due to a mushroom allergy so a PBJ sandwich was given to her, without the peanut butter, so a protein free jelly sandwich a pre-diabetic. The facility as a whole is pretty filthy. Zero stars would be more appropriate.

Rooms are clean. Staff seems to be overworked and patient care is lacking.

DO NOT ever go to Penny Lane. This has to be the worst place ever. My Uncle is in there and I am getting him out. The Manager Judy is the most poorest excuse for a human being. She has harassed my Uncle. Tell residents one thing then turns around and changes her story or calls you the liar. The manager Judy has all her relatives working there so when something happens and you call them out on it they all stick together and lie for one another. They have the most horrible food and it's always chicken. I would bring down home cooked meals for my Uncle and they refuse to warm it up for him and make him eat it cold. They are not allowed to have any food or drinks in there room. They make you keep it in the office where staff members eat it. The Manager Judy lives on the 3rd floor with her bf that is supposed to be the maintenance man which the place is totally nasty. No updates and very dirty. I have pictures to back it all up. My Uncle and his roommate is always freezing and they tell them to put another sweater on. The Manager is always telling my Uncle she wants him out. I have witnessed all of this and it is terrible that nobody is doing anything about it. I would give no stars if I could. Please don't let your loved one's go to this place

The rooms are big, cozy, and very clean. The showers are spot clean. I had a very warm welcome from the staff and the residents. The food and deserts are home cooked and baked here and it's all delicious. I've found my cozy home at last. Thanks to all of the Staff and Residents for all of the support and help you've giving me. I feel like I'm in a home and no longer an institution.

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.
