Pegasus Preserve of West University

The only negative is that the hallways tend to be dirty at times. There will be black spots and dust. I realize those may be hard to maintain. Staff is fantastic and always helpful. The food is really good

Had an informative tour of this beautiful facility. People looked happy and engaged in all areas. Apts are great, all types of accommodations, many in courtyard areas. Many activities are available. Food was delicious, dining room attractive and menu varied and flexible. Staff seemed pleasant enough and engaged with residents. Many programs are available. Am impressed with this facility and look forward to being part of it.

I have been a resident for over. Moved here from my home of many years. I was pleased to know that a long time friend/family and have been super excited. Housekeeping has been acceptable. I do wish that the housekeepers had their own washer and dryer. Maintenance has also been acceptable.

New Resident

I’ve recently moved into Brookdale West University. I’m still in the process of going between my home near by. I have really enjoyed the dining services. The food is really good especially the breakfast. Maintenance has been quick to assist me with all my requests. I would recommend Brookdale to others.
