Key Review Excerpts

The staff are amazing and I admit I thought maybe they were even just being nice cause we were new but it's been months and everyone is still just as nice as day one.

Long-term resident's family · 2025★★★★★

The staff at Brookdale is great but the management is a joke. There’s a huge turnover in the employees but the ones that stayed were awesome with my mom.

Resident's family · 2024★★☆☆☆

My mother has only been in a short time … it was a very quick placement and the staff could not have been kinder, more efficient, or more knowledgeable.
