Great experience

Everything was great. Just what my parents needed. The staff was polite and helpful, the food was delicious, there were plenty of activities, they did a great job with cleaning, and the apartment size was adequate. We have no complaints. Thank you!

Seems like a wonderful place for those that can afford it. It is clean and bright, well decorated, roomy. There seems to be a wide variety of activities and open for suggestion.

I was upset by my husband's hospitalization when I toured Brookdale. Therefore I was not too sharp about noticing details. Our guide was warm and thorough and answered our questions candidly. However I have heard nothing from her since the day after my visit

A welcoming new chapter for our dad

We have been very happy with Brookdale. Everything was presented and explained accurately. We've had some tweaks but all have been approached collaboratively and with positivity. I would definitely recommend to other families. The staff is very professional, warm and accommodating. My sister and I spent quite a while touring communities and we found just the right fit for our dad at Brookdale. Thank you to your team for the assistance you provided as well.

A useful interlude.

They were always very helpful and accommodating. I would recommend them. In our case my mom was a bit overwhelmed because she really requires full nursing at this stage of her life.
