Key Review Excerpts
“The staff are excellent communicators, the facility is clean and comfortable, beautifully decorated for the area. I always feel welcome when I arrive for a visit, and the staff will go above and beyond to help fulfill a need or request.”
“While this is a beautiful facility, and there are some wonderful caregivers, the administration lacks empathy and compassion. The director of nursing simply does not care about the residents and would not work with us.”
“My mother is at Brookfield for rehab. She is getting stronger every day. PT works with her daily. She says everyone is nice and treats her with respect.”
