The food is very good, the staff is nice and friendly, they created good entertainment program (a lot of events, music, gatherings), they really care about the residents. I would recommend them to others who are searching for senior living.

One of the things I really liked about Brookdale Paulin Creek was that they had these shadow boxes outside the rooms that the residents could put memories and stuff in. I thought that was really cool. It was a really clean, bright, and nice-looking place. You walk in there, and we saw tons of residents coming with dogs, and they were hanging out with each other, and they were all happy-go-lucky. Everybody knew everybody. My sister actually went and talked to some of the residents, and they said this place is great. It was very beautiful. They have a beauty salon.

Brookdale Paulin Creek
My mom moved into Brookdale Independent Living about two months ago, and overall, we’ve had a very positive experience. The staff are consistently friendly and welcoming, and they’ve created a warm, home-like environment that really helped ease her transition. There’s a wide variety of activities to keep residents engaged, and the food has been great. One of the unexpected highlights is the heated pool and hot tub—my mom uses them almost daily and truly enjoys that part of her routine. It’s also a very pet-friendly community, which was important to us. There’s plenty of outdoor space with grass and beautiful trees, making it ideal for walking dogs. The main challenge we’ve faced is around care level planning. My mom is in the early stages of dementia, and while we were given the choice between independent living and memory care, assisted living is not an option here for residents with a dementia diagnosis. I had hoped assisted living would be the right middle ground, as independent living has been somewhat difficult for her, while memory care feels too advanced at this stage. Because of this, I’ve had to arrange outside caregiving support to help her manage day-to-day. I do wish this had been more clearly explained upfront, as it would have helped us make a more informed decision and better prepare for her needs. That said, the community itself is wonderful—friendly, active, and full of thoughtful amenities. With clearer communication about care limitations, this would have been an even smoother experience.

VerifiedAmazing place to live.
Staff is very Friendly- helpful. Making is so easy to adjust. I agree you should recommend to others. I am in independent living. Right now and this feels more like a Resort. All the residents say that they have been here for various years and also enjoy living here.

VerifiedOverall pleased
They are hard to get ahold of and don't really listen to what you are saying. They have their own judgements and when you try to explain something I feel they don't care as it's a business decision to make money off your parent and not really about care. I would still recommend as my father in law likes it there.

(name removed) is doing well at Brookdale, and has made some new acquaintances there. Also the food is adequate but she has said the service is a little slow for her. She hasn't made any other complaints that I'm aware of.

Brookdale Paulin Creek is located in a quiet area of Santa Rosa, but only a block away from the Coddingtown Mall with its robust shopping opportunities. The property is large with expansive grounds, trees, a swimming pool, hot tub and gym. There are over 200 residents in either independent living, assisted living or memory care. The staff were welcoming. There appear to lots of activities for residents. The apartments are small, but each one has either a balcony or small patio. Small pets are welcomed. The carpets are old and worn looking, but the public areas are clean. I was concerned about staff turnover.

Friendly community
Staff is very friendly and accommodating. They have a lot of good activities for the residents and the facility is very clean/well kept. The only down side I see is the price but you get a lot with it.

VerifiedA very positive Brookdale experience
The main thing is that my mom likes it. She loves the food, says the staff and guests are friendly, her room is just right, the social activities are a big hit, and it's bright and airy. Not depressing. From my perspective, the administrative part has been straightforward. Expectations were set appropriately so we're getting exactly what we expected.

VerifiedOverall a beautiful and friendly community
The staff are all kind , and super helpful. The facility is very beautiful with vaulted ceilings and lots of windows so very light and airy. Most of the windows open out to a beautiful courtyard that has flowers and beautiful gardens. The facility is clean, spacious and quiet with all the amenities you need. The apartments and more spacious than any others in the area at the same time more affordable than all others we checked out. My sister in law is so excited that we found this beautiful treasure!

My wife had two bad falls that set her back. I had to buy 2 foam pads &insist they be placed around her bed. They should have taken precautions after the first one. Very expensive too.

Brookdale Paulin Creek didn't work for me. The rooms were nice and big. The location was perfect, but it was too dark and dreary. The staff kept saying they offer a 25% discount with the free month in September. I just felt like it was too pushy, like a used car salesman, but she was very nice and very caring. The structure of the building is good. Cleanliness is good, too. They take good care of that place. It was quiet. The people were very helpful. It seems like an old motel or something. It's a pretty big facility.

Overall a nice community
The staff was great but not enough of them for my family members needs. In their defense he was a lot to handle....hence the reason we put him in memory care. I would also like to say that their main memory care coordinator (or manager...can't remember her title) (name removed) is absolutely amazing!!

My dad liked Brookdale Paulin Creek a lot. The staff and the residents were all very friendly and welcoming. The tour was nice. The lady, Miro, was very, very kind, very thorough, and answered all of the questions. My parents were able to sit down and sample a meal and they were both very happy with the meal and the selection of food available. I, and the health aide that was with us, ate as well and everybody loved the food. The rooms were pretty large.

Excellent Facility and Staff
The staff that has direct/everyday contact with the residents are kind, caring, friendly, responsive and respectful. As a family member of 2 residents I can say they have been very kind, friendly and helpful when I am at the facility visiting or on the phone. The independent living apartments are very nice size. The apartment housed both my parents very adequately. My parents are now in Memory Care section. We rented a 3 room unit which is meant for 3 individuals, but it's utilized by only my parents. Having this amount of space is great for the 2 of them.

I toured Brookdale Paulin Creek. We like their location, the gardens, the pool, and the hot tub. They had rose gardens. So for me, being able to spend a lot of time outdoors is very nice, and that's a big attraction for me. There's a communal washer/dryer situation where they'll do laundry for you, or you can do your own if you choose, but they'll do your linens and things. They also have a refrigerator and probably a microwave. What struck me was that they understand how independent living becomes important to people as they age, and for the reasons why, they knew their clientele very well. They were just very kind and helpful. Brookdale Paulin Creek seemed to have a more flexible plan for eating like you could get food any time of the day if you missed a meal. They're clean, but their carpet needs to be replaced.

Brookdale Paulin has been incredible for my Mom!! She loves it! She has no complaints really nor do we. Everyone has been incredible during this whole process. She is very happy which makes me happy! We would absolutely recommend this community to other families!! Getting my mom into a place that felt safe for all of us after we lost my dad in a tragic accident in September was very important to all six of us kids so Brookdale Paulin Creek made that happen for us and we are very happy with my mom being there, so thank you!!
