Review for Brookdale Harbison

My experience with Brookdale is positive. It is much more important than I initially realized to carefully match the capabilities of the prospective resident to the level of care the facility offers.

a great community for a wide variety of care options for senior living

The friendliness of the staff does vary greatly amongst the staff with some receiving's 1s and some others receiving 5s. What we like the most about the Brookdale Harbison community is the size of facility, the available medical support and communication protocols and availability of management team
