All- around Caring Place

All the people I have dealt with have been very helpful! They have treated my sister very well- and she can be a handful. I'm impressed with all the care she's received- on all levels.

My Families Experience

The facility makes you feel as if you are living at a very nice hotel! Yet it does feel like home to my aunt. The staff are friendly and extremely helpful. My aunt is on the assisted living floor, and they remind her when it is meal time or when there are activities going on she might be interested in attending.

Happy with Brookdale

I moved to Brookdale in May 2024 to be near my daughters as I aged. But I needed a community with many activities and my daughters found Brookdale for me. I am extremely happy here and as my health status changed Brookdale provided all the assistance I needed.

The staff was very helpful and friendly. They understood our situation and weren't too pushy until we were ready to move forward. My dad has been there a month and is very happy with the overall experience.

Brookdale is a great place for your loved one

The facility is very nice, always very clean. The staff is caring, friendly, professional, helpful. There is always something to do, activities for all, in house and day trips every month for those that are able. It is the cleanest and busiest senior home I have ever seen. My brother is the youngest there and he had many friends !

Super Pleased!

Additionally, it's nice that there is a team of doctors available at Brookdale so that new residence who are from out of state don't have to find all new doctors in the area. It's nice that Brookdale at home is available to provide residents with support services who are not necessarily assisted living residents. The array of activities is excellent and the guest musical performers are wonderful.

Beyond incredible!

We had the best experience from the minute we walked in the door! [name removed] was outstanding every step of the way! She is beyond patient, was super responsive, answered all our questions and was so professional! Everyone at Brookdale (residents and staff) were so kind. We also worked with [name removed] on the move part of the project. She could not have been any more helpful, kind and knowledgeable! We thank you both for such a positive experience! You made our moms move so easy!

Beautiful and comfortable community

[name removed] was great. He answered my questions and offered great information. The apartments are nice sized and the community in general is welcoming. The amenities are awesome.

I left my after the tour thinking my mom might really like this place!

Feel confident that I made the right decision.

I was not sure if I was making the right decision. I had visited a few other facilities and this seemed to suit my requirements. The place seemed cheerful and residents were involved in some activity when I visited ; yoga, B Fit,Mix and mingle, water aerobics etc. There was nothing sad or lonely about the place The staff are very friendly and ready to help. The food is simple but tasty and suits me. The rent etc is high but other facilities charge high rents too . I have been here for a month and a half and feel I will be ok here!
