My grandma is doing well here but the rent increases for the elderly are horrific. 5 stars for care.

I come here to visit with a couple of clients frequently. Best independent living place i’ve ever been in. Always clean, very friendly staff and residents. 10/10

The facility recently underwent a change in ownership, resulting in significant disorganization. Several department heads appeared unusually detached in responsibility and aloof in attitude. When we shared the incompetence we encountered their sister facility concurred, yet there was no follow-up from the current corporate office, Priority Life Care. It wouldn't be surprising if ownership changes again until there's no value left, potentially leading to closure. I strongly advise against entrusting a loved one to this unstable environment.

Jennifer Kedik and the folks at Brentwood are some pretty amazing people! I have visited on several occasions at varying times of the day and each time the residents were active and very obviously happy! The staff always seemed to be upbeat and very involved with the residents.
