This community was home for my father for three months of respite care. Last week, against all odds, and because of the tremendous care, attention and support of this community, he went back home to be with my mother, his wife of 60 years. I can’t say enough about the quality, consistency, and thoughtful care of everyone at Brookdale Beckett Meadows. Thank you to Alex, Reina and Suzette who brought us in and watched over every day. Maria, Krista, Mario, Sonia, Gabby, Marife, Tiffany and so many others guided my dad through many ups and downs. The whole team at Select Rehabilitation helped to bring him back to life. He left last week stronger than he’s been in a long time. Thank you, thank you thank you!!

My parents became residents of Brookdale Beckett Meadows in 2023. My father has passed. My sister and I were given a tour of the facility and everyone was very friendly. The facility continues to be kept clean, always bright and cheerful. We are free to visit our mom any time and even participate in the exercise classes, music day, and numerous activities always happening. Residents are kept active. A huge and positive shoutout to Maria Gonzalez, Residential Care Coordinator! She gives 100% of herself in all areas at Brookdale. When I have a question, and can't get anyone on the phone, I text Maria. I've heard from others that they also contact Maria. She has the patience of an Angel and we love the care and support she gives to the residents. Thank you Maria. So, our only concern is being able to contact other staff (besides Maria) by phone at the facility. Could definitely use some improvement. Even an email address would be helpful if it were answered in a timely fashion. Thank you for your overall care, patience and love at Brookdale Beckett Meadows. Susan Mock

When looking for an Assisted Living for your loved one it can be so very overwhelming. All I can say is that Diane Lewis the Sales manager is the most caring person I have ran across in this industry. She basically knows the ins and outs of senior living. Even though we didn’t make it to Beckett Meadows due to unforeseen circumstances Diane still reached out to check in. She is a true advocate for seniors and their families . Good job Brookdale with this wonderful person.

My mother has been at Brookdale Becket Meadows for almost a year. The staff is amazing! They make it feel like a big family and they look after my mom and she feels safe. It puts my mind at ease knowing she is there and so well taken care of.

I can’t say enough about this fabulous facility. They take excellent care of their residents physically but they do the best job I’ve ever seen with them emotionally. My grandmas social calendar is busier than mine and I can’t thank them enough for keeping her active with such a range of activities that not only does she enjoy doing things that she always has but trying new things. I have another grandmother in assisted living in Houston and I just wish she was having the same experience.

The people at Brookdale Beckett Meadows are helpful, quick to respond, and respectful. I would recommend this place for your loved ones. I wouldn’t mind living here when I get older or need extra help. We especially appreciate Resident Care Coordinator Maria, who is loving and treats my grandma like her own family. She is always there, and will drop anything to change a diaper. She also gets my grandma to eat, she loves to offer her desserts, which is better than nothing. Alex, the Executive Director, has been an immense help, not only at this Brookdale but also Gaines Ranch. He personally helped my grandma cancel her Jitterbug phone when she didn’t want it anymore. Wow. Ashley, the Sales Director, is patient, works with you and your schedule, and provides multiple options with no pressure. Cathy the nurse is communicative and friendly. They even have a beauty shop and the courtyard is beautiful. I can’t say enough things. Brookdale Beckett Meadows Employees: our family loves you.(And Vilma,you’re great!)

This has been a good place for my wife's mom. The food is good, and if we give 24 hours' notice, we can join her for lunch. There are closer residence homes to our house, but we found Brookdale to be superior.

When I searched for an assisted-living residence for my sister back in July of 2021, I kept reading that Beckett Meadows was the very best Brookdale residence in Austin (impartial reviews online). I have no argument at all with that claim. The place is located in a quiet, easily accessible neighborhood and it's pleasing just to walk in the front door. There's always a congenial receptionist to help if you need it, and the place is kept up beautifully. Right now the staff in the memory-care unit is the best it has ever been. Each time I visit I notice one or more of them going out of their way to help and comfort the residents, most of whom need lots of assistance. No one is ever just sitting in a corner ignored. The staff are patient, friendly, kind, and helpful whenever I have a concern.I feel good about my sister's being there. So thanks. You are appreciated.

My mother-in-law recently moved into Becket Meadows and we are very pleased with her experience. The food is very good, much better than her former place. The staff are attentive and helpful. Beckett Meadows is clean and well kept with a beautiful courtyard. They were welcoming and glad to have her great grandchildren come in and enjoy the courtyard. They wanted her to truly feel like this was her home.

Brookdale Beckett Meadows was a great place for my mom while living in Austin. Andy Hernandez welcomed us with open arms, made our tour amazing, answered all the questions and made our moving in and out experience amazing. He also took the time to develop a relationship with my Mom and she felt comfortable asking him for anything she needed. Gabriele was an amazing Physical therapist for my mom. She became a friend to mom and checked on her and helped her stay mobile. Sharon was the sweet person at the front desk and we just loved her. Overall our experience was great!

Beckett Review Our mom moved into Beckett Brookdale in March of 2020. Staff members, Andy, Allison, and Moses helped to have her new apartment feeling like a home within days which helped her transition. Two weeks later the facility was put on lockdown due to the Covid virus and residents weren’t allowed out of their rooms. The staff really stepped up to keep the spirits of the residents high during such a challenging time. Instead of being able to see friends and family, the staff were the visitors. They helped with so much “ from Natalie playing daily with our mom’s cat, Jae helping our mom get on Tele-med video calls or zoom calls and even helping with word challenge games our mom played. Once it was safe, bingo started up again and Allison always made sure our mom was attending. Very thoughtful. As for the facility, we’ve been pleased. All staff members are friendly. The place is well kept and smells nice. The food has been good and our mom has enjoyed speaking with the chef. Although staff member Andy is the Sales Manager, he has always been willing to help the residents where needed and give us guidance on who we should contact if we had a question. The staff has also taken the Covid virus very seriously for safety reasons and their efforts have paid off. Very few cases were reported at the facility and when one happened, it didn’t spread at all. We are very pleased about that. The Covid virus changed many duties of the staff members adding additional tasks not usually needed for all residents at all times such as delivering meals to every room for every meal. Restrictions are being removed when appropriate and being reinstated when needed thus changing the staff duties continually. We look forward to the day when Allison can hold more activities with the residents to keep them engaged and entertained and the caregivers have fewer tasks and don’t feel so overworked. Someday, our mom will be allowed visitors that can help her with things the caregivers are having to do now therefore allowing the caregivers to handle their original job duties. We would recommend the Beckett Brookdale facility to others. Signed, Elizabeth and Karen L.

Our mom has been here a bit over a year now and is in much better shape than when she arrived. Not to say that this past crazy year hasn't brought setbacks, but the management and staff have worked very hard and are quick to respond when we have a situation arise. We could mention certain individuals who stand out to us, but each team member carries their own value and sense of caring, so we will just give a big thank you for the peace of mind we have overall and trust that these certain team members not mentioned by name will know who they are.

We are so happy to find a home for our 102 (soon to be 103) year old mom at Brookdale Beckett Meadows. They are so warm and friendly and easy to deal with. Our mom is always telling us these people are so sweet and good to me here, which is so comforting to hear. It is a hard decision to make when you are looking for a place to put your loved ones, but we feel we’ve found a great place for her. We would recommend them to anyone.

My dad was there over a year -- in fact we moved him from one of the "newer" places to Brookdale Beckett Meadows. He was very happy there and mom visited every evening. He wasn't much of a joiner for activities but mom would attend. The staff was kind and caring! And we are still in touch with Andy Hernandez who is just amazing! We moved dad back home -- it was too hard for my parents with the virus not being able to visit and watch TV together in the evenings.

Until his unfortunate passing, my father spent a considerable amount of time within the Memory Care unit at Brookdale Beckett Meadows and my family couldn't have asked for a better situation in the latter stages of his life. Always treating him as one of their own, the entire staff is knowledgeable and thoroughly attentive while fostering a cultivating, engaging environment for all their residents. It goes without saying that I highly recommend you consider this home for your special loved ones and continue the family atmosphere of unity and care.

I am very pleased with Brookdale Beckett Meadows. Both the staff and employees go out of their way to always make themselve available to our mother and Family. They always stop to say hello and see if there is anything they can do. They offer many activities that engage my mom which keeps her active and happy. I highly recommend Brookdale Beckett Meadows to anyone looking for an excellent place for their loved ones.

There are no words to match my gratitude to the Brookdale Beckett front office staff and caregivers, but I will try. I contacted them as my 92 year old mom was ending her stay in skilled nursing after breaking a hip and Brookdales's director, Joe Eckert, and sales manager, Andy Hernandez, personally came by that same day to meet us and tell us about their Assisted Living Facility. This kind of care, empathy, and service lasted throughout my mom's stay until she was able to return to her own home. The fact that she was able to become strong and confident enough to return home is a testament to the wonderful people that work at Brookdale Beckett. They were always patient with her (which can be quite difficult at tmes) and did their very best to answer any questions or address any issues that arose as quickly as possible. Brandy Willett, who mans the front desk, and is always going above and beyond, is one of the most helpful, kind, and amazing people and makes visitors and residents feel welcome every day. I visited at all times of the day and night and never witnessed or experienced anything but a warm, welcoming, homey, clean environment that was there to be of service to those who live there.

My Father lived here only about 4 1/2 months, then his health had a turn for the worse. The entire Brookdale Beckett Meadows staff treated my Father with much kindness and compassion. Hey went out of their way to make sure he was happy and comfortable. We were very sorry to leave, but my Dad now needs a higher level of care. I highly recommend Brookdale Beckett Meadows.

While visiting Brookdale I was blown away by the friendliness of their Staff, Nurses and Maintenance personnel. Brookdale is very nice and well maintained. The food was excellent and the passion the Chefs show in preparing their food is exceptional. Their attention to detail and their presentation of food is so appetizing. I would feel confident in enrolling my loved one in this facility and you should too.

I have visited Brookdale Becket on two different occasions trying to help a neighbor find an assisted living place. Unfortunately, it has never worked out for her but I was very impressed with the cleanliness and kindness of all the staff members. If I reach a time that I would need assisted living I would not hesitate to live here.

My mother-in-law and father-in-law both lived here for about a year until they passed away. They were both in the Clare Bridge unit (memory care), and we could not have been happier with their care. As their dementia progressed and the amount of care they needed increased, the staff continued to treat them with kindness, patience, and dignity. Staff members came and cried with the family when they passed away, 3 months apart. From the kitchen staff to the front-line care aides, from the med techs to the management of the unit, everyone was helpful and caring. If you are looking for affordable memory care, I highly recommend Brookdale Beckett Meadows.

My parents moved to Brookdale Beckett Meadows 3 months ago and I can’t say enough good things about this place! After having lived in several other facilities over the past 7 years, our family has found this one to be the perfect combination of friendly, professional and reasonably priced. The staff is what makes the difference and I am incredibly impressed with their administrative team and the caregivers working in assisted living with my dad and those in memory care helping my mom. The food is actually pretty good, too! The building is older but it is maintained well. Not the fanciest place around but it feels like home and the staff seem happy, which makes for happy parents.

I toured the Beckett Meadows location not too long ago and was impressed with the atmosphere within the residence. The residents appeared happy and were actively engaged (I.e. with peers, staff, family, games, etc.). I had an opportunity to meet the dietary manager, who was very proud of her dish- especially the desert. This was supported by the few residents who were still eating or returning for seconds. The community was clean and felt very home-like. Joe Eckert and his friendly team seem to be doing stand up job in providing a positive culture for the residents, families, and one another.

I had the opportunity to tour Beckett Meadows yesterday! It was so lovely. The garden was my favorite area, as it was so peaceful. I have worked with Andy Hernandez, the Sales Manager, and he is best. Seniors adore Andy and he knows everyone! I highly recommend working with him and Brookdale Beckett Meadows.

Hand held American flags put out for the 4th of July still remain laying down in the dirt along the sidewalk out front. Ask them to please pick them up in respect for the flag and those that serve. Never made any effort to pick them up to this day. Shameful and they probably even have some veterans staying with them. Thank you Brookdsle Meadows! The next day after posting this the issue was resolved. I appreciate your effort to correct this.

My grandmother recently relocated from another Brookdale location and the transition was super easy, the staff really friendly and helpful. Grandma seems to be adjusting well and they are taking good care of her. The community is clean, well taken care of and convenient.

My aunt has lived in this facility since the fall of 2015. She is very particular about many things but consistently tells us what a wonderful place we chose for her. She was a home economics teacher and has given the dietary services a high rating. She also was a librarian and enjoys the large library at Brookdale as well as the weekly outings to HEB. The staff are very friendly and accommodating and are quick to get back with me about any questions I might have. The only concern I have is that after hours it is difficult to get anyone to answer the phone (when my aunt accidentally leaves the phone off the hook) and the infrequent cleaning of her room.

My in laws were moved to the memory care section a year ago. Nice people but very poor closure on important problems such as: a) constantly loosing their clothes, we have spent hundreds of $'s replacing them. We labeled every piece of clothing, they still lost those; I'm buying all new Fluorescent green clothes! b) We found "Mold" in the bottom of their 2 drinking glasses they were using daily by their chairs. They don't even have a sink to wash things in the memory care section. Numerous other challenges.

Just saw the frontline piece on Emeritus and remembered what happened at Beckett: The family of a 91-year-old woman who froze to death last year after taking off from an assisted living center's secure Alzheimer's unit sued the center and its parent company Monday in Travis County District Court. The family of Mabel Austin claims Emeritus Corp., owner of The Park at Beckett Meadows in Southwest Austin, cut staff so that only one aide was on duty to oversee the 18 residents of the Alzheimer's unit. While the aide was helping another resident, Austin was able to crawl through a door and wasn't found until the next morning, her family claims. "Not only must the family deal with their mother's horrible death, but the aide must live with the consequences of being put into what we have alleged was an impossible position -- too much to do and not enough help," says the family's attorney, David Bragg of Austin law firm Bragg Chumlea & McQuality PC. Brandon Erickson, executive director of Beckett Meadows, says he can't comment on specifics of the case because it's pending in court. He says he has been in talks with Austin's family since her death last Christmas and is continuing to review the matter. "The company stands behind the team here at Beckett Meadows, and we are fully supportive of the Beckett Meadows staff and the good things they do for our seniors here in the community," Erickson says. Beckett Meadows is owned by Seattle-based Emeritus Corp. (AMEX: ESC). The company owns and manages 169 assisted living centers in 32 states, including more than 30 locations in Texas.
