Review for Brookdale Dogwood Creek

The community is somewhat active. Often residents are waiting as people walk in to see who is getting visited. The food is really good. The staff is fantastic. I definitely would recommend Brookdale Dogwood Creek for anyone needing unassisted, assisted or memory care.

A member of the marketing staff gave us a tour and answered some questions regarding costs and services provided. Very pleasant and professional. We are some years away from needing to move into a retirement community but we are looking now so we can prepare. The facility was clean and the apartments we visited seemed adequate.
