Best assisted living facility in Waco

My mom has been living here for 9 years. Since [name removed] became Director of this facility it has been amazing. The staff take care of our mom as if she was their own mama. We couldn’t be more please with everything and we know she is still with us because of the care and love she receives. Thank you!!

Brookdale Lakeshore

5 on all of them! The workers are great, the Cleanliness is awesome, care is great. Yes, they do have plenty of activities for the residents to participate in. My aunt enjoys the music when someone comes, the church service and bingo. She doesn't do the crafts.

My mom

My mom is a resident at Brookdale Lakeshore and my siblings and I couldn't be happier with her care. The staff is professional while still showing compassion and love to my mom.
