My mom is currently a resident at Brookdale South Bay. I would definitely recommend this place to others. The communication with the family is great, along with a very friendly staff. They made my mom feel at home quickly.

Things to know

Stay very much aware of costs as their financials are a mess. Also, beware of their year over year increases. Horrific! Nursing care was extraordinary. Very hard working staff. I would recommend because of their nursing care but again, stay very cognizant of the costs and financial procedures.

Overall a very nice community.

The finance and billing is horrific but the Wellness Director is awesome. The Sales Manager is awesome and I truly like the place, however it is just to expensive. Based on the experience I have had so far, I would recommend this community to other families.

Tour experience

There was just no comparison. It was a thumbs down from the time I walked in for the tour. The facility was dark, smelly, and the distance to the dining room was too far. It was very outdated and could not compare with [facility name removed].

Assisted living facility that values the individual

My family and I have toured many assisted living facilities in search of the right fit for my parents and this is it! The sales staff are low-key, friendly, kind and authentic, not pushy, and they seem to genuinely care for all of their residents. I love the relaxed low-key living atmosphere that's not too flashy, but is more homey. Most importantly I get the sense that while they greatly encourage the residents to get involved in activities exercise and entertainment, they do not cram those down the throats of the residents, but instead allow them to be themselves, and choose what they want to do, an extremely underrated value of a home like this! We're very happy with our choice and look forward to a great experience here.

our families experience

We have to say they are very attentive to our loved ones needs, that part has been really good so far. However sometimes they are just so unorganized which can be a negative when it comes to the overall communication with the nursing team. You really have to stay on top of them sometimes.

Highly impressed!

I cannot say enough good things about South Bay. The skilled nursing area is clean and inviting. I feel so comfortable with the care they provide- I visited frequently, unannounced and was never disappointed. Their patients are loved and well cared for. The social worker is a strong advocate and excellent communicator. Activities daily so there is not that somber, nursing homey feel. It’s refreshing! I don’t have much experience with their assisted living but from what I’ve seen it’s equally as well cared for and the staff seems to be the same.

my review of Brookdale South Bay

We toured this community and it was very nice. The facility is older but the staff was very friendly and the food was really good. The community just didn't fit our needs due to them not having a memory care unit.

One thing that really stood out to us was the friendliness of the staff, and the overall homey feeling the community had. The rooms are good they are clean and have a welcoming feeling to them. The food was pretty good for the most part.

Autonomy with safety

nice, well kept community. Residents were about but relaxed. ALL staff seemed vested in community well being. Sales staff kind and not pushy. Community areas were very nice and cozy. Bathrooms built for safety. Rooms provide safe and comfortable autonomy, but, if needed, help is seconds away.

The Health Center at South Bay Skilled care

I would say good plus .This review is not for the assisted living facility but the Health center skilled nursing facility located within it. Great caring aides good food quality and selection. Good management and small facility feel. Very Very happy we have our family member there. They do not accept medicaid and they are not over crowed with small rooms like the places that take medicaid. If you have to pay you might as well have a better place. Very good value.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Rhode Island regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Rhode Island regulations for Assisted Living.
