Reviews Brookdale Salem
January 2024
I just wanted to say how grateful I am that Brookdale Salem has started a support group for adult children and other loved ones that are taking care of a resident at this facility. It has been nice to know that you are not alone in this experience. And it has been helpful to hear other people's stories and ways that they do things.

My mother has been at Brookdale, Salem for about a year now and I can say nothing but good things about the staff, the facility, and Mr. Kirby. The move in was easy and the nursing staff is great. My mom says she enjoys the food and has many friends. Brookdale, Salem is a great place.

January 2022
Brookdale Salem did not influence my survey answers or comments in any way -- in fact they don't know I'm participating in it. This was my 4th assisted living facility and by far the best. There are occasional glitches, like there are anywhere, but you could not find better, more caring staff, staff with the right attitude who work very long hours in hot masks (COVID).

My mother has been at BrookDale Salem for over three years and I have been more than pleased. She has her own small "apartment" that is private, yet she is encouraged to spend time enjoying areas outside of her own. She has been cared for, loved, kept engaged in activities, and respected. All staff members are trained to assist and care for residents with varying levels of Dementia which is a comfort to me and my family. Genesis Therapy is on site offering physical, occupational and speech therapies whenever needed. They are aMaZiNg! Whether it be office staff, nursing staff or therapists, I am always able to reach someone when I have questions or concerns. The cleaning staff and building manager work daily to maintain a clean, safe environment and meal options and snacks are provided. BrookDale feels like a beautiful home as opposed to a "facility" . . . a wonderful place for my mother to live in a family type setting providing my family with peace knowing she is safe.

During 2021 we reached out to Brookdale assisted living in Salem for help. we could not have asked for better treatment . the admissions department was very patient and informative . the facility is beautiful . the dinning rooms are open and well staffed. the nursing staff with little exception has been on the job and very responsive to all phone calls and answers to our questions. from administrative department to nursing staff to housekeeping department .though out this time, the question they ask is always then same. How Can Help You? That is what a person needs to hear in these trying times. Brookdale truly feels like home . thank you so much Alan Kirby and the entire staff at Brookdale Salem, Va. Sincerely , Tom Groton

Im still in the process of getting my mother checked into Brookdale. She will be arriving by the end of this week. All of the staff up to this point have been wonderful. From DeAnna in Marketing to Adrian in Maintenance, they have been most helpful and eager to provide whatever I need to complete the process. Mom is looking forward to moving in and providing more in depth review after staying for a while. As of now, I could not ask for more! So after two months, I felt I needed to update my review. Im still giving the facility five stars. The staff has been wonderful to work with and really good to my mom. Shes very satisfied with the facility and the staff. They have helped her tremendously and are taking good care of her from all indications. Her room is kept immaculate and she has assistance whenever she calls for it. Her meds are given on a timely basis and her conditions are being monitored daily. I am totally happy with the decision to place her at Brookdale and she is happy with it as well. I would recommend this facility to anyone with a loved one who needs some assistance. So far they have met all expectations. I feel they are a great facility at a very reasonable price.

My mom has been a resident of Brookdale Salem for a year now. Due to certain circumstances, I had to make a quick decision for an assisted living facility. After touring 2 other places, this seemed to be her best option, both financially and location-wise. The move in process is pretty easy and straightforward. Your loved one will need a medical appointment prior to admission. Everyone was easy to work with and as assessment will be done to determine what type of care your family member will need. As another reviewer pointed out, once your loved one is moved in there is no direction as to "what now". There's no orientation for the family members or buddy system for your loved one to become acclimated to their new home. It's left up to the individual to figure things out on their own. Genesis Therapy is on site and I think everyone there gets some type of "therapy" on a regular/weekly basis. Once my mom's initial assessment was done I have not heard one word about her progress, etc. so if you're curious about what's happening with "therapy" you'll have to be the one to reach out. They'll also make sure you've got a supplemental Medicare policy so they can bill that. I feel like the monthly charges at Brookdale and probably in line with other places in the Valley. There is a $2,100 "community fee" you will be charged on admission and they will not budge on this; however, they will split it up among your first 3 month billings. Also, beware - if your loved one is at Brookdale when January 1 rolls around, be ready to see a huge increase in your bill. My mom's bill increased by $600 a month in January, and that included the removal of a care charge that she had not been receiving but was billed for. When I met with the director to discuss this increase, I was told that it was because there had not been an increase since Covid. I understand that, but my mom was not even a resident there during Covid, so...... He told me he would e-mail the corporate office and see if they'd lower the increase - I never received a copy of the e-mail nor any kind of a follow up about my inquiry, so you just pay what you pay. Most of the staff are hard working, very friendly and interact well with the residents. They offer many inside activities as well as outside trips to a variety of locations to those that want to participate. The dining room is nice and clean, small but bright and cheery. There is a fireplace and ample seating in the TV room as well as a piano that my mom plays for the residents. The Resident rooms are nice also, each have a least one window and cable TV is provided as well. There are 2 "front porches" that have plenty of seating with residents want to go sit outside. They also provide transportation to doctor appointments on Tuesday and Thursday if that is a need. Overall, my mom has done well at Brookdale - I feel like she is being taken care of in the way she needs to be.

Great community with wonderful residents and staff!!!
May 2019
My aunt is a resident there (since August of 2018). She said the other day that there are no kitchen staff in recent weeks. About 2 months ago, all the dining staff walked out. They were served a hotdog, a little bit of potato salad, and tortilla chips last night for supper. Another time, they had corn-dogs. One night was pizza that was ordered (delivery). A manager has been filling glasses with tea and water. There is no dietician on staff or on call. The residents are not getting served nutritious balanced meals. There are no table cloths on the dining tables anymore. It is completely different from last year (2018). Something has to be done about this whole situation. Possibly, the kitchen staff werent getting paid enough. Possibly, the new head manager may not be tactful enough in communications with the employees. This is basically what my aunt said over the phone last night.
