Amazing staff and community
Residents are more "mobile" seniors even with walkers/wheelchairs. Housekeeping and maintenance, and administration do an amazing job with a smile and hello for everyone.

I absolutely love the employees and their interactions with the residents. I would highly recommend Brookdale Pensacola. Once the food situation is solved, they should have a 10 in every category.

We liked it, but it's small
We toured Brookdale Pensacola and we liked the facility. The facility was clean. The friendliness was great from what we saw. However, their Memory Care unit was very small. The sitting area that they have for the Memory Care residents was small and not enough to accommodate the number of residents in the unit.

tour review
Our family had an in person tour and it was a very nice community, overall it was a great experience. The director was great, and it would be a nice place for those who want something a little smaller or needs more assistance. The apartment our loved one would of had was extremely small, for what they call a one bedroom apartment we would not even call a studio apartment. It just felt extremely claustrophobic.

Tour experience
We had a very nice tour experience with Brookdale Pensacola. The facility is smaller and offered fewer activities (which looking back now, I think this might have been a better fit for my loved one). Because of its size, it had a much more homey, comfortable atmosphere.

What I like about Brookdale. I immediately felt welcome when I walked in the door of Brookdale. [Name removed]was very welcoming and very friendly. She treated my niece and I with the utmost respect. The facility was clean and bright, and full of activities and people wandering around happily. I would tell my friends to visit there first, and then don't hesitate about putting your parents or grandparents at Brookdale in Pensacola. The facility was the best we found in the area.

Peace of Mind After a Long Awaited Search
It has been a wonderful experience for my loved one and family. I was able to find an environment that suited my loved one needs without it being a nursing home. There was no communities I could find in Alabama and this was the closest. The staff are very good to work with and I have a close relationship with them and the care they provide for my loved one. I like the physician assistant that sees my loved one, and they have become my loved one's primary care provider. The follow up with the provider is very good. They have prevented my loved one from going to the hospital on a couple of occasions. My loved one is at the highest level of care and this is an additional fee each month. The apartment, all the meals, activities, utilities (except for phone and cable), housekeeping, changing of linens, and laundry is included in the monthly fee for rent. There is a kitchenette in the apartment and a large walk-in shower. One thing that sold me on the community was the activities. Church, entertainers, field trips to shopping and more, happy hour, exercises, and more are some activities for the residents to choose from. They have a beautiful courtyard and a screened in porch for the residents to utilize. The community has to allow visitors in, and out with entry system. This community is better than what my loved one anticipated. The food has been good or a little better for my loved one.

They are very warm and make a point to know the families name
The staff members and their care services are beyond 5 stars, we strongly recommend this community. We love that the staff do not hesitate to contact us if there is ever something wrong or a concern they have. They give us a full explanation on what they are going to do and their different procedures. No matter how small they tell us everything we need to know. Right now the activities are pretty limited still, but we are hoping they start to come back quickly.

Tour of Brookdale
Our tour with Brookdale Pensacola was great, but I was just not as comfortable here as I was at another we looked at. I just felt like I was being sold, they made it about them and not about us and our needs so we decided against them.

They gave me my dad back
We chose Brookdale Pensacola because when I called to speak with the sales manager, she was just very helpful and informative. Then as she was showing the facility, I realized this was the place where my grandmother had been so even though management changed, I knew the facility and how nice it was. She loved it here and he is actually in the same apartment that she was in, so we know we made the right choice. The other residents participate in the activities and enjoy themselves. As covid starts relaxing they can reintroduce outings that they did previously. My dad has had a miraculous recovery since being here, they offer great care and we could not be more pleased. I would definitely recommend to other families.

Great place, great place
We chose Brookdale Pensacola because of the value for what we would be paying. It was clean, it smelled good, and it had fresh paint. It just seemed like a nicer facility. One of the reasons we also chose it was because of the social activities that they were providing. The room sizes are comparable to others that we saw. She really likes the food. My favorite part about the community would be the relationship I have with the staff members. They reach out to me to let me know what is going on with mom and I can reach out to them anytime. It has been very comforting. I would absolutely recommend.

And, they have been very responsive to calling us back concerning our follow-up questions as we continue to evaluate places for our family member.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Florida regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Florida regulations for Assisted Living.

Frequently Asked Questions
about Brookdale Pensacola

Brookdale Pensacola offers Studio and 1 Bedroom. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored Brookdale Pensacola 8.5 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
