Residents and their families say:

This community, Brookdale Chatfield, garners a mix of positive feedback for its cleanliness, maintenance, and the friendliness of its staff. Reviewers highlight the cleanliness of the facility and how well-maintained it is, noting that it makes a strong positive impression. The community offers a variety of activities, with chair yoga and exercise classes being particularly mentioned for their popularity. Another strong suit of this community is its wide range of amenities, including libraries, salons, and a gym, enhancing the residents' experience. The staff are commended for being friendly, professional, and very solicitous towards the residents, fostering a welcoming and caring environment. The dining options receive praise as well, with the food described as excellent by some and the availability of activities throughout the day is appreciated, suggesting a vibrant community life.
However, there are a few areas that drew criticism from some reviewers. The location, next to a busy area and a highway, was considered a downside for its lack of tranquility and convenience. Additionally, the layout, specifically the narrow corridors, and the vibe of certain parts of the facility feeling more akin to a nursing home rather than independent living, were points of disappointment for a few. Issues with maintenance and a lack of follow-through on services, such as the hanging of curtain rods, were also mentioned, indicating some room for improvement in responsiveness and service execution. Food quality received mixed reviews, with some suggesting it could be better.
In summary, while there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of maintenance responsiveness and possibly updating some of the decor to avoid a dated feel, Brookdale Chatfield offers a range of commendable features. The cleanliness, active and caring staff, and the array of available activities and amenities stand out as strong points. The community seems to be a place where residents can enjoy a full schedule of activities in a well-maintained setting, although the convenience and ambiance of its location may not suit everyone.
