Brookdale San Marcos South

I would say that the atmosphere is welcoming and the court yard is wonderful. It's pet friendly and the rooms are spacious.
They could improve by making it to where the person doesn't have to pay extra to eat in their room if they'd like.
Brookdale Beckett Meadows in Austin, TX

People are very friendly and caring. They are staffing up a bit which is helping. Any issues we have had is directly related to not having enough people power to handle the demand.
Overall, the car has been good. It is clean. The food is good. The activities are plentiful.

The medical Director, the executive Director, the sales Director and the receptionist were always very welcoming and available anytime I needed them. The only thing that was a little slow was that sometimes when my dad pushed the button on his pendant, it took longer than we expected.
