Move from Brookdate to Ventura Hills has been mixed
reviewed on: 08/28/2019 by AnonymousMy mom has been here for several months and since the change from Brookdale to Ventura Hills there have some aspects that have thankfully remained the same and some that have changed. The wonderful chef and kitchen staff have maintained the same high quality of food which is so helpful in keeping my mom eating well and enjoying her meals. They are all so accommodating, know the residents likes and dislikes, and dietary restrictions - such a blessing! Activities have remained the same and they are adequate for most residents. Medical staff (the assisted part of assisted-living) though seems to have been reduced. We've had to push to get all the assistance we are paying for. They need to hire at least one more person or two per shift as there have been times when I could not locate ANYONE to get the help that was needed.
Mother loves it at Brookdale Castle Hills!
reviewed on: 03/29/2016 by Amy StrobiettoMoving my mother to Brookdale Castle Hills has been a wonderful experience! The staff is absolutely fantastic! Estella, the Sales Manager, is a joy to work with and was instrumental in assisting us through the process. I don't know what we would have done without her expertise. The nursing staff and care are top notch and do a great job of communicating with family as needed. They are kind and gentle people who take wonderful care of their residents. This facility has a family environment and culture that makes you feel comfortable and at home. There are tons of activities, exercise classes, and trips that are fun and keep the residents active and happy. My mother lives in a spacious studio apartment that has lovely wood floors and plenty of room. The meals are prepared lovingly and are super delicious. My mother brags daily about the food! Brookdale Caste Hills has been such a blessing for my mother and she looks forward to keeping this as her home for many years to come!

Excellent move in experience
reviewed on: 09/13/2015 by C. MeyerJeremy Fontenot is outstanding at guiding families through the process of touring, checking in and moving into their apartments. Jeremy and his staff worked diligently to get my aunt transferred from another facility and settled in--even on a Saturday when most weekday staff is not there. My aunt is happy and secure in a very welcoming environment. I would readily recommend Brookdale Castle Hills to anyone! C. Meyer
A home away from home
reviewed on: 05/17/2021 by Alyson QShe was here before covid and now is here after so a lot of protocols and things that have changed. In the beginning the communication was a little off but other than that they were very proactive and organized to keep the residents safe while still letting them socialize safely. They are a non profit facility, so if my grandma does run out of money they will keep her here. Their food is really good, they provide a lot of variety and they are chef prepared meals. My grandma loves all the activities, they have things like bingo, wine night, exercise classes, movie nights, etc. Prior to covid they had church and communion. They have their own transportation as well so they take the residents to their appointments and the grocery store when needed, the bus is extremely nice as well. We are very pleased and I would recommend them to others who are looking.
