I have been living here for more than a year and everyone has been exceptional. The activities especially the live entertainment on Wednesday afternoons are always enjoyable as well as other activities. Food is OK. Everyone is very helpful and approachable.

Brookdale Sunwest is my home and it feels like home to me. I've had to make some necessary changes in my lifestyle, but Brookdale offers what I need to make these changes ideal for my situation. I'm happy to be relieved of homeowner responsibilities as well as the burden of owning a car. I am adjusting to this lifestyle which is great for me...I am more peaceful now.

We have been here for 1 1/2 years and love it! From our Executive Director, Theresa, and all of the employees, we are fortunate to have such a competent and caring staff. Another plus is all of the positive residents who live here. With all of the activities, great meals, etc., it is like being on a fun cruise ship -- except we don't have to leave port! Our only regret is that we did not move here earlier! Thanks, Fred and Judy Doctor
