Key Review Excerpts

I have nothing but good things to say about the staff at Brookdale Latrobe, and the care they have given to my mom. My sudden 2 month roller coaster ride with my 81yr old mother's health has led me to Brookdale.

Family member of resident · 2025★★★★★

The staff walked us through every step and made it an easy transition. They are so kind, caring and friendly that it feels like home.

Family member of resident · 2024★★★★★

She has dementia and they have scheduled activities all day long. She made friends there immediately. She is at home there.
