    Caring staff, clean facility, recommended

    I moved my mom into Brookdale Monrovia and we're very happy. The staff are exceptional-warm, attentive, know residents by name, Spanish-speaking help available, and management is responsive with regular updates. The facility is clean, safe, centrally located, and very social with lots of engaging activities; dining is generally good but has been inconsistent at times and apartment sizes/maintenance can vary (balcony may cost extra). Despite a few past staffing/elevator hiccups, care feels personalized and professional-I would recommend it.

    About Brookdale

    Brookdale Monrovia is managed by Brookdale.

    Brookdale Senior Living Inc. (NYSE: BKD) is the largest senior living operator in the United States, managing over 640 communities with capacity for approximately 59,000 residents across 41 states and employing around 36,000 associates. Founded in 1978 and publicly traded since 2005, Brookdale solidified its market leadership through major acquisitions including American Retirement Corporation (2006) and Emeritus Senior Living (2014), making it the only national full-spectrum senior living company. Headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, Brookdale has topped the American Seniors Housing Association's ASHA 50 list and Argentum's largest providers list for multiple consecutive years.

    The company's comprehensive care continuum includes independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs). Brookdale's signature Clare Bridge program, developed over 30 years ago by dementia-care experts, provides specialized Alzheimer's and dementia care through two distinct levels: Clare Bridge communities for comprehensive memory support and the Clare Bridge Solace program for advanced-stage dementia residents. The program is recognized by the Alzheimer's Association® for incorporating evidence-based Dementia Care Practice Recommendations and features secure environments, enclosed courtyards, Daily Path programming with six structured activities daily, and the InTouch technology platform offering personalized brain-stimulating games and therapeutic content.

    Brookdale's holistic Optimum Life® wellness approach balances six dimensions—Purposeful, Physical, Emotional, Social, Spiritual, and Intellectual—implemented through signature programs including B-Fit (eight exercise class options), Brain Fit (mental fitness workouts), My Life Story (resident storytelling), EngagementPlus (interest-based connections), Growing Together (collaborative learning), and The Ageless Spirit (kindness and gratitude practices). The Embrace Family Partnership provides caregiver education and support for families of memory care residents.

    The company's Brookdale HealthPlus® care coordination model, winner of the 2024 Argentum Best of the Best Award placing it among the top 1% of operators, is a technology-enabled healthcare service featuring dedicated RN Care Managers who proactively manage residents' health, coordinate care transitions, and help prevent avoidable hospitalizations. Communities using HealthPlus report 78% fewer urgent care visits, 36% fewer hospitalizations, and 63% more completed annual wellness visits. The Personal Solutions program delivers hygiene products, medications, and daily necessities directly to residents' doors with discreet packaging and monthly billing convenience.

    Following a strategic divestiture of its home health and hospice operations to HCA Healthcare (completed December 2023), Brookdale now focuses exclusively on senior living operations while maintaining its position as the industry's largest operator, committed to its mission of enriching lives with compassion, respect, excellence, and integrity.

    • § 87411(c)(1)
    13 Nov 2023
    Determined that the refundable community fee credit issued matched the admission agreement’s 60% rate for leaving in the second month after a 30-day notice.

    13 Nov 2023
    Investigated a complaint about incorrect crediting of a refundable community fee and found insufficient evidence to prove or disprove the claim, determining the allegation to be unsubstantiated.
    26 Sept 2023
    Found no deficiencies; infection control measures were updated with a COVID-19 mitigation plan and the infection control plan added to the operation plan. Staffing, resident records, and disaster readiness met requirements, with some residents on hospice or home health.
    26 Sept 2023
    Found no preponderance of evidence to prove the allegations that staff did not clean residents' rooms, staffing was inadequate to meet residents' needs, unqualified staff performed glucose testing, staff were not properly trained to handle injectable medications, or residents' injectable medications were not administered.
    26 Sept 2023
    Investigated several allegations, including unclean rooms, inadequate staffing, unqualified staff performing glucose tests, lack of staff training for injections, and medication administration, but found insufficient evidence to confirm violations occurred.
    31 Aug 2023
    Identified that glucose testing was done by Med Techs rather than appropriately skilled professionals, and this finding is substantiated. The other allegations—staff not properly trained, pests, and clutter posing fire hazards—were not supported by evidence.
    31 Aug 2023
    Investigated allegations of improper staff training, facility pests, and resident hoarding; one allegation of improper glucose testing found to be substantiated.
    • § 87628(a)
    25 Aug 2023
    Identified three specific allegations: a resident fell due to lack of supervision; staff did not answer call buttons promptly; and meals delivered were cold. Found not enough evidence to support these allegations.
    25 Aug 2023
    Investigated allegations regarding resident falls due to lack of supervision, delayed staff response to call buttons, and cold meals; found insufficient evidence to prove these claims.
    14 Mar 2023
    Investigated Allegation 1 that a prescription was not refilled and Allegation 2 that the responsible party was not informed; interviews with residents and staff and review of medication records showed medications were current and families were notified when refills were needed, and found insufficient evidence to prove the violations.
    14 Mar 2023
    Interviews and reviews showed that allegations regarding prescription refills and notification to responsible parties could not be proven or disproven, and were therefore inconclusive.
    • § 87411(c)(1)
    13 Feb 2023
