Grateful

We are very lucky to have my mom at BSC! She is very happy and it's been like family. All of the executive staff know each resident and their families by name. They gently encourage participation in the daily activities which gets residents out of their rooms, creating friendships. I know that when I go out of town, which is frequently, I have the peace of mind that my mom will be safe and cared for.

One of the best in the area for our family's needs

The staff is very caring. Facility is attractive but still inviting and comfortable. My family chose Brookdale South for my father and step-mother.....out of several attractive options.
