Brookdale Senior Living Reviews

Pros

The residents and their well being.

Cons

Brookdale portrays this image of commraderie and a vision of unification between residents and staff. And the residents are perfectly presented at the centerfold. Coorperate goes on stage and gives there speel and, to their credit, it is well presented and thoughtfully calculated. But it is calculated with a box-office revenue picture in mind rather than actual engagement. The real visionaries, the ones who keep said production in continuation, are the lower-level employees behind the stage. Bending over backwards with pulled strings for rising curtains, breaking there backs on lifts for lighting cues. But, no one thanks them. Because it is part of the production, it is procedure, and it is taken for granted. But, now, there light cues will be off. The curtains will not rise in time. Now, they will notice. And, now, the actors will go into improvisation. And, they are smart and trained in the art so the onlooker may not even realize it’s improv. But, the men and women behind the curtain will know. And the actor will have to keep making adjustments. The performance will keep being altered until it’s not even the same picture. I do not wish to be part of this picture. If you say it’s for residents- it’s not. If you say it’s for employees- it’s not. It is for revenue and monetary value will never replace interpersonal and morality. It will never please. I do not want to continue setting the stage for a falsified and vain feature.
