Brookdale Highlands

It's probably a good place for healthy adults, but it was not the place for my husband. The sales person at the facility and the person at A Place for Mom sold an idyllic experience , but the reality was far different for my husband. We should have been guided to a different level of care.

From the moment I stepped into Brookdale, I felt welcome and knew that my mom would also feel very welcomed and it would like home. Every staff member we came across was super friendly.

Review for Brookdale Highlands

It was the nicest one that we visited. The Memory Care was really top-notch. And it was close to our house, which was really key so we could visit often
