Brookdale Santa Catalina - Tucson, Arizona

Leonard Rudnick

We were seriously concerned about moving from a 4,000 square foot house to a 450 square foot apartment. After almost 62 years of marriage, we discovered that we still like each other. We absolutely like and appreciate all the staff and the services that are offered. No more cooking, dishes, cleaning, laundry or forgetting to order or take medications. Our stresses have been significantly reduced. We realize we would have been better off moving here when everyone else knew we needed assisted living. After viewing other facilities, we are extremely happy that we chose Brookdale Santa Catalina.

My mom has been at Brookdale Santa Catalina assisted living for over 2 years. First and by far the most important is that EVERYONE on staff is kind and patient. I never worry about her wellbeing or safety.

The food is excellent!! Almost every window has a beautiful view with plenty of birds and wildlife.

The interior is clean. The only drawback is the carpet is cleaned frequently but still has stains from walkers, wheelchairs and spills. (Life in assisted living ?)

Brookdale Santa Catalina offers a relaxed atmosphere with friendly staff and residents to welcome newcomers. Nestled against the Catalina Mountains with blooming cacti, native flowers, birds and animals, plus beautiful landscaping throughout the complex makes for year round pleasant viewing.

Our mother recently completed her rehab at Brookdale Santa Catalina. Our family was pleased with the quality of the food, therapy and care. The therapists and caregivers were patient and kind with our mother. One caregiver in particular, "Sandy" was always so caring and positive with our mother and treated her with concern, dignity and respect. We appreciate her and all the staff for their services.

My 98 yr old Aunt was there for about 12 weeks until she passed away from heart issues. My Aunt was a very humble, modest old school kind of lady. She was happy about moving into Brookdale.
She was a very honest person. Her last
3 - 5 weeks there were simply horrible for her. She unfortunately had several staff members being extremely aggressive with her, both physically and verbally. I brought it up to management on several occasions when it first occurred. My Aunt pleaded with me to not bring it up at all. It would only get worse if I brought it up.
Management showed their concern, releasing one gal who apparently had a history of tormenting guest. But there were a couple others that would call my Aunt vile names & go out of their way, NOT to
help her ! ? Management didn't seem to put their foot down to make this all stop,
because it continued for 2 to 3 more weeks.
Oh yes, most of the staff is friendly & the environment is 2nd to none.
Unfortunately some of the staff simply treats their residents very unruly and
disrespectful. Which made my wonderful Aunts last few weeks on this planet,
much more unpleasant and uglier than
they should've been.
It broke my heart to see a 98 yr old lady afraid to leave her room to go to her meals,
on several occasions.
That's just wrong in every way !
Think HARD about where you place
your loved one....

I'm sharing this because it's very
important that people know
what's really going on....
I feel this way towards your community
because you gave us no choice
in the matter !
Brookdale dropped the ball big time !
Management should be ashamed
of how they handled all this.
They simply allowed it to continue...

I was a stranger from Ohio who broke some bones and had to have surgery and then a 4 week stay here at Brookdale. As a nurse I dreaded staying in a "nursing home". I needn't have feared. All the staff were friendly and helpful. PT/OT were excellent, Doreen, and Matt, Grace, Ester, and the rest. Additionally great was Housekeeping, no foul odors. Dietary was so very helpful and the food was great. The only reason I didn't give them a five is due to the fact that at times there was a bit of a wait for care. In nursing there were 3 special people, Lino a CNA, Isobel a Nurse, and Brittany, a CNA. Social Service with Sandy who is wonderful. Even Celina the receptionist is top notch. I highly recommend this facility. Let's not forget Moses the ADON. Excellent
