We were warmly greeted, given plenty of information and time to ask questions. We were given a tour and were able to see the staff interact with the residents. The environment was attractive, well maintained and the "vibe" was warm and accepting. The philosophy was what sold us: the goal is happy residents, happy families and happy staff. They have achieved this and the benefits are obvious. The choice has worked out well for my husband who needs a memory unit. He is thriving, yes with dementia, but he is calm, wel

I would recommend it there.

Everything is great there, the food, the activities and the caretakers. They have all been very nice and helpful to my aunt and myself. It has been a difficult adjustment however. My aunt repeatedly calls for me to come get her and bring her home. That is by no means brookdale fault at all but it has been very trying. I think she might finally be adjusting to her life there. Here's hoping!

Excellent Care and Great Value

They provide excellent service all around. Everyone I have met so far is friendly, and very caring. Their assessment of [name removed] was spot on and she is getting excellent care. Highly recommend! There are many assisted living options locally and Brookdale has the best value overall.

Really loved this facility but unfortunately they did not have rooms available at the time they did offer a West Hartford location. But that was too far away.
