Key Review Excerpts

The administration and staff are way beyond good, they become like my extended family! Their dedication to meeting our needs, going way beyond expectations and making a bad day so much better is part of every day that I've experienced here!

Resident · 2024★★★★★

Assisted living at Brookdale has been WONDERFUL for my sister in law who had formerly been isolated and depressed. Living among people who care for her like family and socialization with other residents has made all the difference in returning her joy in life.

Family member · 2023★★★★★

I moved my mother who has dementia in here about 2 weeks ago. My mother is REAL pain. However so far I'm not impressed. Very disorganized. Lack of communication. You ask for something like knobs for you're loved ones room and good luck getting follow through for days.
