Key Review Excerpts

My mom's adjustment to living there went very smoothly. She has regained mobility, made new friends, and is becoming more engaged and at home there by the day.

Long-term resident's family · 2024★★★★★

When we contacted Brookdale Burlington, Stephanie Franklin arranged tours for us on both the Memory Care and Assisted Living sides of their business. She did a superb job of answering all our questions, and has remained in contact with us as the family works through this process.

Memory care family member · 2024★★★★★

I have taken pictures of each time I go there and have seen a big decline in the care that my friend has received. all of the good nurses are gone. she sits in her room in soiled underwear and has not had a bath at all this week.
