Interviewed Sep 2010 in Lakewood, CO (took 3 weeks)
I applied online. I had an initial phone interview with a company recruiter. I then received a call from a regional corporate nurse, and interviewed with her. After that, i had an interview with the community's Executive Director.
I was asked to take a battery of tests online - personality, basic skills and reasoning tests, etc.
I was then asked to come back to the community, and meet with the other community managers - the Clare Bridge Coordinator, Maintenance Director, Resident Care Coordinator, and anyone else that cared to make an appointment to interview me.
After I accepted the job offer, I submitted to a background check and a drug test.

Interviewed May 2012 (took a day)
First interview was a group interview. A group of about 12 people sat around in a circle and talked about why they would want to work the company. We also filled out a form asking us to define words like excellence or dignity. Everyone was supposed to talk for 2-3 minutes, but some people rambled so the interview was a little long.

Interviewed Apr 2012 (took 2 weeks)
Oddest thing ever: Was contacted via email for a phone interview and requested 3 times when I was available. After I wrote right back that day, I never heard back. I wrote/called to follow-up numerous times over the next week and then was assigned a time another week out. I waited 45 minutes after the assigned interview time (yes, I checked and re-checked) and never got the call. I called the recruiter an hour after the appt. and followed up with 2 emails over the week and one more phone call. Then I received an email saying thanks but no thanks. HR/recruiting can do what they want but never forget that we are ALL in sales: what if I had a loved one that I was considering putting into an assisted living?! What this says is I would NEVER put a loved one in a place that has so little regard of people's time. Nor would I recommend it to anyone either. You didn't let ME down: I will find a career in senior living but you showed a terrible face to potential customers. Shame on you.

Interviewed Sep 2010 (took 4+ weeks)
I was called by the recruiter for my position. The inital interview was standard and I was passed on through each member of the regional team and then the divisional team. Each person made me feel comfortable and valued for my opinions about leadership and seniors. Overall it was a great experience.

Brookdale is highly committed to serving thier residents and thier families. The company starts with a phone interview, invites people individually for a behavior style interview approach, then interview withregional managers, then with team..There can be up to seven interviews. Definately background and drug testing. Compassionate people with a love of older folks is an imperative character strength. Nicecompany.

Interviewed Dec 2010 (took 1+ week)
You have a short phone interview, then a face to face with a nurse. Then they process the background check, may take a week or more. Then they set up a face to face with the ED. Then they call you back for a day in the life. The day in the life consists of 8 hrs following a person around who does the job you applied for. Unpaid 8 hrs. Then if you say you think you would like to work there, they send you home and call you back for a drug test. After that is back, then they call you back for a final interview and an offer letter. Heck of a lot for $8.00 an hr.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
There is no negotiating. If you don't like the offer you can go to a competitor and make more money, since bsl is not competitive with their salaries.
