Brookdale was absolutely superb in helping me move my family member in for the first time recently. The staff and the administration are extremely courteous, respectful, caring, competent, and helpful. I am looking forward to a long and satisfying relationship between Brookdale and my family.

Robin Otteni-Zakrzewski

My father lived at Brookdale Dover and it was welcoming and just like home. The staff made such a difference for my dad, and took good care of him, and were kind and supportive to me. Not only am I grateful for what they gave my dad, which was a safe and caring place to live…but what they gave me. I knew he was taken care of, which allowed me to be his daughter and not his caregiver. It also allowed me to be present for my husband and children. All of which was priceless.

Sherry Miller

I can’t recommend Brookdale highly enough. Putting my dad in an assisted living home was the hardest decision we’ve ever had to make. The staff at Brookdale were so caring and helpful. They went above and beyond to make his stay as good as it could be and to be there for us in his last days. We can’t thank them enough.
