Key Review Excerpts

I chose Brookdale Colonial Park for my father because of the caring and dedicated staff members! My dad couldn’t be happier and that makes me and my family have a sense of peace and comfort!

Resident's family · 2026★★★★★

The environment is welcoming, the staff is attentive, and the residents genuinely seem happy and engaged.

Industry professional/Client advocate · 2025★★★★★

Constantly running out of food and closing the kitchen before the meal time has ended. At the price they charge this should never happen.

Resident's family member · 2023☆☆☆☆
