Key Review Excerpts

My mother was at Brentwood for several months after having her leg amputated. We always felt welcome and she felt cared for well! The staff including the therapy staff cared for her better then any other facility she had ever been at!!!!!

Rehab patient's family · 2025★★★★★

Mrs. Shelley Brown and staff took amazing care of my grandfather! Shelley did a good job communicating with the family and answering all our questions. She is extremely organized which helps greatly when dealing with medical insurance & outside providers.

Long-term resident's family · 2023★★★★★

My uncle is not the easiest resident to take care of but Brentwood management and staff treat him like he is family. He feels loved and cared for there. My primary complaint is the laundry staff (clothes are lost or ruined).
