In the heart of the capital city of Oregon, residents of Brookstone Alzheimer's Special Care Center are surrounded by all the natural beauty and recreation that Salem has to offer. Our community features cozy common spaces, a secure courtyard, and specialized memory care services in an intimate environment.

Quality care

Brookstone is an amazing care facility. My husband has been there almost a year. The staff are great, providing excellent care and services. Very professional, loving and caring. I've watched them, first hand, caring for the patients making sure they are safe, clean, happy and meeting their every need. My husband likes this place and has never asked to come home. Although that makes me a little sad, Brookstone is the best place for him. I highly recommend this Memory Care Facility

We had an informative tour of the facility. They took their time and didn’t rush us. Everyone there was helpful & friendly, answering all our questions. We are considering a respite stay later in the summer.

Brookstone experience

Easy transition for my husband. Getting financial aid to cover his expenses has been a real challenge. The facility has been very patient and flexible as I navigate the bureaucracy.

If you care for your loved one.. take them here!

We tried several places and Brookstone hands down. The best!! They always had her in the common area or dining room or activities or caring for her in her room. They really truly cared for her! She was always taken well cared for. Baths, feedings, movement and circulation and excellent management!!! From the time you walk through the doors the workers are so helpful and kind!!! All the way up till the night when she passed!

Brookstone Alzheimer's Special Care Center review

What we like the most about the Brookstone Alzheimer community is that it is clean and the residents are well taken care for. We would recommend this community to other families but it depends on residents needs. I don't think there is enough activity...they just took away what there was.

Mom loves it

My mom is currently a resident at Brookstone Alzheimer's Special Care Center and it's an amazing place. My mom loves it here. The staff is very kind, caring and knowledgeable. My mom loves the food! We went through a year of denial and I never thought I'd ever get her in a facility, but she loves it. She feels well cared for and the food is good and the nurses and staff are so kind. I would highly recommend this facility to others.
