The people who work there are so nice and very compasionate, however, the people who took over and are running the facility now are not so great. The food is not the best quality and some of the things that were once included in the already high price to live there are now an extra expense. They nickle and dime the people who live there. Not what I would call a "Christian, non-profit" way to run things. If you are in "assisted living" they now want to charge for the food to be delivered. If your are unable to get to the dining room to get your food because you need assistance, how is it OK to charge a fee to deliver the food to these people? I will agee it is a beautiful facility and the grounds are very nice. There are some nice amenities like a beauty salon, a chapel and a Bistro. The Bistro used to be very nice but now the food is not that great and half the time there is nothing in the coolers. I was floored when they charged $3 for one banana. They may put on a nice show when you tour the facility but I say beware. Hopefully, one day it will go back to being run the way St. Mary of the Woods ran it.

Our experience with Brookdale Westlake Village's Memory Care Unit was deeply disappointing and…read moredistressing. My father was a hospice patient there, and we encountered ongoing problems with communication, cleanliness, and decision-making that no family should have to face. His room often smelled strongly of urine, even after repeated requests for cleaning. We struggled to get basic care coordination, including podiatry and medical follow-up. The worst incident occurred when my father--who was on hospice, sedated, and asleep--was sent to the ER for a psychiatric evaluation without proper coordination with hospice or family consent. I had specifically requested that hospice handle the evaluation onsite. The decision to send a terminal, sleeping patient to the ER in the middle of the night was unnecessary and inhumane. Later, the facility abruptly required that we hire a "sitter" for my father with only a few hours' notice. Brookdale later agreed to reimburse us for a week of sitter costs but has been slow to follow through. Ultimately, we had to move my father out of Brookdale for his own safety due to the facility's repeated incompetence and lack of hospice coordination. When I raised these issues with Brookdale's internal investigation team, no corrective action was taken, forcing me to escalate the matter to the Ohio Department of Health for a formal review. While a few frontline caregivers (like Nakila and Sarah) were kind and compassionate, management failed to show the empathy, professionalism, or judgment expected in dementia and hospice care. Families should ask tough questions about staffing, cleanliness, and hospice coordination before trusting Brookdale Westlake Village with a loved one's care. We wish we had.

They are understaffed and handle my grandma rougly when they do actually help her to the bathroom or in the shower. I do not recommend for a loved one.

The food was excellent. So many programs offered! My mom was even allowed to "rent" out party rooms for family get-togethers/baby shower. The staff was great, too. One of the nurses, literally, saved my mom's life after she suffered a heart attack by performing CPR. Sadly, we had to move my mom to the nursing home behind the independent living building. All I can say is STAY AWAY from the nursing home. I was expecting it to run as smoothly and professionally as the independent living place, but was dead wrong. Half the time, no one answers the phone, which is disconcerting. They lost family photos we brought for her room. And when she moved to hospice, they threw all of her belongings in a garbage bag--including pants and a lamp that didn't belong to her AND some paperwork on another patient which is a huge HIPAA violation. So really, this review is twofold: independent living at Normandy = GREAT; nursing home at Normandy = CRAP
