A safe caring place for our loved one.

We recently had to place my mother-in-law into memory care as her health and dementia was rapidly declining. She had gone past the place where we could care for her. We visited many facilities and knew we had found the right one when we toured Brookdale. We were never disappointed with our decision. Since moving in, Mom has gone home to be with the Lord. It is difficult to explain how it eased our hearts and minds to have her so well cared for over her last few months. The staff at Brookdale significantly eased o

Caring staff

After my dad passed away in October, we felt Brookdale was the best place for my mother. The staff truly cares—not just for her, but for all the residents. I really enjoy seeing how they interact with everyone; their kindness is genuine. Just last week, my mother had about five family members visiting. One of the staff members stopped by, noticed the gathering, and came back shortly with ice cream for everyone. It’s those small, thoughtful gestures that make such a meaningful difference.

Thankful for the wonderful care my mom receives.

My mom has never had better more conscientious care than at Brookdale East. She is well cared for, never left in wet clothes, and is always helped into bed at night instead of left to sleep in her recliner. The staff seems to enjoy their job and they truly do care about the residents. I'm thankful God led us to this place as it is truly been a blessing for my mom.

Need more staff.

Brookdale East Wichita is the only facility in Wichita for Dementia patients. To be really honest, the facility is very nice but is very understaffed.

Ensure facility is suited

If a friend asked I wouldn't recommend. The service to cost at first seemed ok but like most places it's on the job training and the professionalism seemed lacking at times. At other times they did quite well but over all experience and lack of protocols were short.
