Brookdale College Square meets all our needs. The administrative staff, activities directors, nursing staff and the aides who take care of our loved ones daily needs leave no stone unturned. They encourage and welcome a collaborative care effort. I feel comfortable working with all the areas to ensure my father gets the best care possible. The staff are compassionate open and honest about care and treat him as their own. My father's activity level has increase tremendously since moving into Brookdale. Thanks Pam and Amber for all you do for our families. Thanks to Amanda W., Andrea T. and Amanda A. for all you do! Brookdale has a wonderful team!

Brookdale College Square has been a wonderful place for my dad. Choosing a higher level of care has been difficult and the staff here has made it a lot easier. Andrea and Amanda in administration have been amazing and very accommodating. Nate goes out of his way to care for my dad and make sure that he is loved and cared for. One of the best things about Brookdale College Square is the activities. I was very concerned that he would be bored and not have a lot of interaction. The activity director, Pam, and Amber go to great lengths to make sure that all of the residents have engaging, thought-provoking activities and they treat them with such great respect. I don't worry so much about my dad knowing that he is in such a great community.
