I have had the opportunity to be in and out of several memory care facilities in our community. At Brookdale Briargate it has been very impressive to see the Administrator Cheryl not only leading the community staff members and helping family members but she also on numerous occasions is sitting with a resident that needs to have some extra time to tell a story, redirecting or brining a snack to a different resident, or even gathering people to listen to music or sing. She really leads by example and is very involved in her community! So wonderful to see the connection she has with her residents, staff and family members.

My mom was always well taken care of and loved, and the staff did a great job of keeping the family informed - something we’d never seen in previous facilities (we lived in FL for several years before moving to the Springs). The facility has a small-town feel to it, so mom was immediately comfortable. Sadly, my mom passed recently, and that’s when the love and compassion truly kicked in and became so obvious. The staff, to include the hospice team, went into high gear and went far and above any expectations. Even if problems arose at two in the morning, the team went to work to ensure mom’s safety and comfort. We love this place, and they became like family to us. We still go see them, even though mom is no longer there.
