Review for Brookdale South Charlotte

My grandfather has been at Brookdale for a month so far. The staff are all very nice. His room is perfect size for just what he wanted. Food is actually pretty good. I have ate with him a few times. Everyone is very friendly there and they make you feel like family. I would recommend the community to others.

Critical

If I could give this place a zero I would. I showed up for a scheduled tour and there was no a single staff member to be found.

Grateful

We are very lucky to have my mom at BSC! She is very happy and it's been like family. All of the executive staff know each resident and their families by name. They gently encourage participation in the daily activities which gets residents out of their rooms, creating friendships. I know that when I go out of town, which is frequently, I have the peace of mind that my mom will be safe and cared for.

The executive Staff at Brookdale South CLT are willing to work with families on whatever they need! I have not found this anywhere else.
