Key Review Excerpts
“I loved the cleanliness, friendliness of the staff. But what sold this community was residents. They looked engaged.”
“I have lived here at Brookdale Shadowlake for several years and I am very happy with the location and the grounds and buildings etc. Nice rooms etc. We have a shopping trip each week to different locations.”
“If you love your family members, think twice before dumping them here. I watched a dear family member suffer abuse from untrained low paid “caretakers” who are barely certified.”
