Originally tour IL at Brookdale. But because of health your move in to AL. Overall its fine. There is a shortage of staff. Needs improvement. Ability to talk to chef about the change of menu but needs to show faster result.

An Excellent Decision

My mom moved into Brookdale a few weeks ago, and has been really enjoying the environment. Good food a variety of activities, engaging physical therapy and exercise classes have all kept her busy. Every staff member has been super friendly and patient as well. I'm glad we chose Brookdale.
