A Welcoming Place for Mom.

The staff was very welcoming. They explained mom's options for independent vs assisted living and apartment size along with amenity options. I would recommend Brookdale Gaines Ranch to others. They have a wonderful assortment of activities and special entertainment and programs.

Review for Brookdale Gaines Ranch

The staff at Brookdale Gaines Ranch is extremely kind and knowledgeable. They made my mother and I feel like we belonged there. I do not believe that there is any need for improvement with Gaines Ranch.

Lovely and Lively Living

I was impressed with the staff at Brookdale Gaines Ranch. Everyone was very professional, skilled and caring. The quality of care was outstanding. There was always someone available if a problem arose. The number of activities on the weekly calendar was amazing! There were classes, groups and outside activities that anyone could attend. Each day was filled with activities to do. No one would be bored at Brookdale Gaines Ranch! The food was satisfactory and varied. The menu leaned on meat. Vegetarians might find

Brookdale Gaines Ranch

My brother was there as a hospice patient but I observed first rate performance! I found that the marketing staff was very attentive to our needs and often stepped in to make sure all was good even after moving in. The facility is well maintained and short waits for service requests,

If it weren’t for my major gardening addiction, I would LOVE to live there. From first entering, and feeling like we were about to check in to a posh hotel, to meeting [name removed](incredibly friendly), to all the social opportunities and ample apartments, I fell in love.
