Key Review Excerpts
“The community is clean and well cared for by tenured staff that truly care for the people they serve. The kitchen staff has a combined 41 years of cooking experience with Brookdale and it shows!”
“Before he got here I toured the San Marcos offerings and decided on Brookdale SMS and both he and I are happy with the choice. Yes, the building is plain but I learned from Cincinnati that you have to look under the hood and that’s where Brookdale shines.”
“My mom lived at Brookdale South for over 5 years. She always felt loved and valued. The entire team is respectful, caring and willing to help in any way they can.”
