PositiveMove-In Experience
My married cousins were in need of assisted living. Having retired from Brookdale Forest City in 2018, this community was my first choice. The current team is very professional and made the transition from home a very pleasant experience. The building is beautifully maintained, and the food quite good. Most important to me is the smiling faces of happy, well care for residents. A testament to the associates who care for them!!
★★★★★

PositiveReview for Brookdale Forest City
Cleanliness size and employees is what influenced my rating. I would recommend Brookdale Forest City to others.
★★★★★
PositiveSkillfully Trained Staff...Highly Recommend!
The staff is well-trained to care for patients with memory issues. The staff remain gentle and calm even when patients are agitated and combative. We would recommend Brookdale Memory Care as a top choice for a loved one.
★★★★★
CriticalWould not recommend to any family with a dementia loved one
The nurse said that my mother, with dementia, was appropriate for assisted living. She told me mom was participating in the activities and going to the dining room on her own. That was not true. Mom couldn't even dress herself
★★★★★
PositiveEveryone is very friendly and helpful. Had answers to all my questions. Quick responses to phone calls and able to see me in person same day.
