Review for Brookdale Salem

Brookdale is an amazing place with amazing people who work there. I would recommend it to anyone. I can't say enough about the people that work there. They went far and above to help me and my Mom.

While we ended up choosing a different location for mom, the decision was based more on geography than other factors. Brookdale would’ve been our only other choice, as they demonstrated great care and attention to the residents. Take a tour to see the kind of high bar they set. Our tour was unscheduled, so we got a “real” taste of a typical day. They are doing great work at Brookdale!

Incredible - caring, intelligent, and attentive

This is the best facility and people I have ever seen or heard of, in a sea of bad stories and examples, Brookdale is a wonderful, responsible, caring, outlier. I feel incredibly fortunate to have my mom at this amazing facility, and I am a PhD executive with expertise in healthcare. There are few, if any, like Brookdale and they truly care. The team calls and checks on residents every day, if at hospital (for example), coordinates everything...they truly care and call every day just to say hi or let the resident a

Critical

My father and I were in for a recent tour of facility, while they were accommodating with snacks the woman we met with made my father uncomfortable. She was more concerned with talking about pricing and pushing for a move in then getting to know my father. It appeared short staffed, although they were very welcoming. I do not believe they have housekeeping, the aides also do housekeeping as well as care for the people, which was concerning. I do not recommend. I have spoken with others who have told me they go thro
