How They Respond to Reviews

27%response rate
Generic

The owner uses highly templated responses that rely on a standard script to request follow-up calls via a specific phone number. While they acknowledge the reviewer's name, they rarely address the specific content of the reviews, instead redirecting all feedback to a centralized 'Resident Family Connection' team.

Key Review Excerpts

The memory care team genuinely cares about their residents and every time I visit the facility is clean, well staffed and the residents seem happy. Also, the food is great.

Assisted Living family member · 2025★★★★★

He loves the food here. He was underweight when he came her and has now gained 20 pounds! The environment is warm and friendly.

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

Everyone here deserves five stars - I inspected 16 various facilities before choosing Brookdale. Not the cheapest, but proof that you can get what you pay for.
