Key Review Excerpts
“My mom has been at the Brook of Gaylord for 4 years now and we are very happy with the experience. The nurse aides are caring. The building is clean and very well furnished.”
“The staff was very friendly and caring. They were very attentive to our requests and seemed to be genuinely happy to be there. The facility was spotlessly clean, right down to the kitchen!”
“She was able to still visit with her same friends and partake in some of the same activities (and add several more), all while getting the assistance she required. The staff, well they are more than staff - they become a part of your family!”
