Review for Brookdale Asheville Walden Ridge

On several visits to his room after they sent him away for being uncooperative, not one person from the director, nurse, or any staff members who knew him so much as asked how he was doing. Personal items such as labeled clothing and bed linens went missing and oddly enough clothing items not belonging to him would be hung in his closet even though the sizes were often too small and they were labeled with someone else's name.

Review for Brookdale Asheville Walden Ridge

While sadly our stay was short at Brookdale due to our aunt's passing - the staff across the board couldn't have been any more accommodating! The transition from her previous home was supported in an extremely positive manner. Throughout the stay our wishes regarding [name removed] care was consistently prioritized!
