What this means for your family
While many families report a warm and welcoming environment, there are serious, recurring reports of medication management errors and neglect in the memory care unit. We strongly advise you to conduct unannounced visits, specifically on weekends, and to request a detailed plan for how they manage and verify medication administration for your loved one.

Key Review Excerpts
“My mom spent 3-4 hours at a time in her room alone and unattended. The activities rarely happened and she declined both physically and cognitively very quickly.”
“During that time her health declined due to multiple and repeated mistakes with her medication and oxygen, which Brookdale was being paid to manage.”
“They are loving, kind and professional. They value humor and take every opportunity to celebrate life with their residents. Special Kudos to Allyson who has gone far above to provide fun outings for the residents on a consistent basis.”
