Key Review Excerpts
“My Mother was reluctant to make this life change but the staff at Brookdale has treated her with respect and kindness as she has settled in to her new home.”
“For a memory care facility, they appeared ill-equipped to deal with basic sundowning and dementia behaviors. They sent my grandpa to the ER multiple times for agitation.”
“the memory care sign is short staffed, undersupplied, & the issues are endless. They have like a 32 bed facility and they run 4-5 staff & one nurse.”

Key Findings
Recent inspections have identified several safety and health concerns, including improper storage of hazardous chemicals, unlabeled food, and issues with required medical screenings for residents and staff. A previous investigation also documented a serious incident involving a resident with a maggot infestation in a wound.
One resident did not have an appropriate TB screening on record within 12 months of admission; a chest x-ray was found but was for unrelated chest pain.
Clean linens were being stored on the floor and mixed with other items like waste cans and personal clothing, rather than in a separate clean storage area.
One employee TB screening was not completed within 10 days of hire (completed 15 days after hire).
Multiple food items in the kitchen and activity cabinets were unlabeled and lacked appropriate open dates.
Hazardous and toxic chemicals were stored in an unlocked bathroom cabinet, making them easily accessible to residents.
No deficiencies are reported in this inspection record.
A resident was found with maggots in an ear wound; staff suspected a fly laid eggs in the wound while the resident was outside.
No deficiencies are reported in this inspection record.
