Perfect place for my parents

Still going very well. Fantastic friendly staff, many activities everyday, socials with families and friends, wide choice of meals with sit down restaurant style like service. Menus with starters, main dish, sides and dessert to choose from. Table with linen napkins. 12 hour front door staff, private apartments, some with balconies. Driver for medical appointments and weekly day outings. Drivers to local church services.

Mom is thriving

The staff is, to a person, very caring and helpful. My Mom is thriving there, enjoying daily activities like exercise classes, games, music, and bingo. She enjoys socializing with the other residents in the lobby (especially in the winter where there is a warm fireplace) and in the dining room during meals. Everyone there is very friendly and accepting.

No cover for car parking, which is a negative for my parents. The cost seemed in line with expectations for all the se…

Very nice facility. It was friendly. We thought $removed] was for the both of us. That fit into our budget.

A good place for dad

For assisted living, to qualify they must be ambulatory... able to walk around and get up by themselves. There is no other level of care except the dementia/memory care. The are good activities every day, and the residents seem very nice. My Dad has excellent care there, and the food ( especially breakfast ) is very good, with a slow, but attentive staff on hand. There is a courtyard area set up for grilling/ guests if they so choose, and the kitchens are decent, but need permission to turn on appliances due to sa…

The Aides at Brookdale, who interact with my Mother-in-law daily, are absolutely wonderful. They truly care.
