Key Review Excerpts

My mother recently passed after a long battle with a terrible form of palsy. I am forever thankful for how the wonderful caretakers were so good with my mom. In particular, they had called myself and my dad notifying us that my mom only had about an hour left of her life.

Family of deceased resident · 2026★★★★★

The memory care unit is definitely understaffed and it shows in the attentiveness to each resident, mostly whom are in wheelchairs and need consistent attention to their hygiene.

Family member · 2023★★★☆☆

The staff is happy and positive here at N Brookdale, they do a good job at trying to plan different activities for the residents which I love and they take good care of their laundry unlike other places we've been where it gets ruined, lost, stolen.
