Many reviews praise Brookdale Uptown Whittier for providing caring and compassionate service. Several families mention that the staff is respectful, attentive, and treats residents like family. Caregivers and nurses are described as professional, kind, and dedicated, often going above and beyond to make residents comfortable. Families also appreciate the social environment, where residents form friendships and enjoy activities. In difficult times, such as when residents needed hospice care, staff responded with kindness and support, helping residents feel safe and respected.
However, there are some serious concerns expressed by one family. They report poor food quality, with cold meals and strange combinations. They also mention neglect, such as staff rarely taking their dog out despite paying extra for this service, which led to accidents and unpleasant odors in the apartment. The same family states that there is a roach problem that has not been addressed even after reporting it to management. This has caused frustration and disappointment, especially considering the amount of money residents pay.
Overall, many reviews highlight a community with caring staff and positive experiences. But a few families have faced issues with cleanliness, food, and staff responsiveness, which tarnish the overall impression. While most seem satisfied with the care, the negative reviews remind potential residents to consider both the caring atmosphere and the importance of proper maintenance and service quality.

My elderly mother moved in last November. The customer service and caring of the staff is amazing. I had been struggling with my mom to get her a safe place to live. I expected her to embrace the change from just living in a normal apartment community. But it happened in just three days. She’s a different person. She loves all the activities and has found friends and enjoys going on the outings. I really want to thank the incredible staff for being so kind and professional. It makes my heart feel good. If you are looking for a place for yourself or a loved one, Brookdale is more than a community, they are family. Thank you so much!
I love all the staff at Uptown Whittier Brookdale. My family and I have such peace of mind knowing that their staff is caring for her. Every interaction I have with staff is positive and productive. Staff goes above and beyond to make my mom as comfortable as possible. They are all very caring and always treat her with respect and kindness. I absolutely recommend anyone to consider Uptown Brookdale for your loved one.
I did a tour of this facility for a family member and the facility is warm and spacious. The inviting lobby features charming touches like a parakeet aviary and well maintained fish tank. Very friendly and inviting and i am strongly considering it as we are assessing facilities. The staff is dedicated and attentive. The residents genuinely seem happy and the facility is within walking distance to local dining, nearby parks and trail systems. The neighborhood has a welcoming vibe. Very pleased with this place!
Don't come here, even for free. I have not had sheets (not even dirty ones) on my bed in days. My sleep apnea machine has not been implemented for my use in DAYS either. A really lovely place, terrible administrators.
Brookdale Uptown Whittier has high quality cleanliness, quality of care and management team. I have a loved one there for the past 3 months and they are doing so well. Highly recommended!
