My mother has been at Brookdale for four months now and I can comfortably offer the following. Brookdale is a medium sized facility that has a secure, pleasant layout all on one level. The property is well kept, properly maintained and quiet. What really stands out is seeing how the staff and management are available, friendly and engaged with the residents. The nursing staff, med techs and attendants have all been very supportive and communicate well with family members. There are plenty of daily activities and special events in which the residents are pleasantly encouraged to participate if they wish. The meals offer some variety and dietary considerations are taken into account. Medications have been properly monitored in coordination with physicians and medical specialist. Honestly, the transition of a loved one into an assisted living facility certainly isn’t easily for a family. But, our experience with Brookdale to date has been wonderful and I’m glad to have the conscientious, educated and caring folks there to help us in this journey. Much appreciated.

They have treated my mom very fairly through the years. I am relieved she doesn't need hospice at this point and can be active at this facility. Staff is very cordial and pleasant. The price is the only thing I can complain about.

Not only is this a great location… they have the best staff! I wish I could give them a 10 star review!
