Key Review Excerpts
“She aspirated during the night and they immediately called for an ambulance. She was transported to Lakeside where the emergency staff said the quick thinking of the nurse at Brookstone probably saved her life.”
“Alissa, in social work is amazing. She responds to your phone calls and helps you to understand the social work piece of admittance, release dates and how that all flows together.”
“The nursing care staff was fantastic. The food was very good. The activities really helped pass the time and I enjoyed meeting other residents. I felt the therapy did not do enough challenging or variety of things to get me better.”
