I moved my mother into Brookdale Lohmans Crossing in November, after trying to solely care for her and realizing that she needed more care than I was qualified to give. I was nervous, I didn't know if I was making the right decision. I had done months of research, even driving to San Antonio and researching literally all the Assisted Living Facilities that were within an hour's drive that were within my financial capability. It's a lot, having to make this decision for your parent and hoping you are choosing wisely. That's why I felt like I needed to write this review, I'm hoping someone else that's is in the position I was in a few months ago reads this and knows that there is a place, that will love and care for your parent or family member as if it were one of their own. From day 1, not only was my mother cared for and treated like a respected adult (not a child as some others I've been told will do), they cared for me as well! I was a ball of nerves and the entire staff, from nurse techs to the director, took time out to call or reach out to me when I visited to make sure I was OK and that if I needed anything, they'd be there to support me. I was and continue to be blown away by them. I went from sleeping with my phone in my hand (although maybe sleeping 2-3 hours if that, a night), to being able to sleep a full night with my phone far away from me, knowing she was OK and cared for. My mother since moving from her own apartment to Brookdale Lohmans, went from wanting to literally die and never leave her apartment, shower, or socialize to her old self again in just 2 months. I know that sounds unbelievable, but it's true. The staff are angels, they were patient with my mom, encouraging but not pushy and my mom finally trusted them. She calls me multiple times a day to thank me and tell me how happy she is, she now goes 2-3 times a day to the dining room and also attends social activities. She showers, puts on makeup, SMILES..! I can't ever express in enough words what Brookdale Lohmans has done for my mother and my family, I just hope they know how appreciated they are and that if you're reaiding this and contimplating placing your parent/loved one here, that you know that they'll be in wonderful hands. read more
