Key Review Excerpts

My husband transfered from a skilled facility in Bellevue to long term care at Brookstone Village. His mobility has improved in the first two weeks than it has the past two years at the prior skilled facility.

Long-term resident's family · 2026★★★★★

We had such a great experience here!! Mom spent 20 days in Brookestone Village's Memory Care/Rehab, and the care was OUTSTANDING!!

Memory care family member · 2025★★★★★

The staff is very caring, and took care of my Dad, right up to the end. He was very fond of them, and considered them as friends.
