I came into her this facility for my mother we met with Jessica. She was absolutely wonderful. She answered all of her questions and showed us around the community. She made us feel at ease and made us feel like this would be the perfect place to have our mother live our mother has dementia and is 89 years old she doesn’t have too many health problems other than that and I feel like this might be a really good community for her to live in the grounds. Looks nice. The rooms looks nice and I really enjoyed how she took the time to explain everything to Us and let us know that not only is this a great community but it’s one that she would place one of her family members, out of all the places that we visited none of the sales people said that. She truly made us feel like friends or family and not just trying to make a sale. We can’t wait to bring our mother to this community when she gets out here in October thanks again Jessica for a great tour. We can’t wait to reconnect with you soon. We are sure that our mother will love living in your community.

Brookdale Alderwood is a wonderful facility with friendly and knowledgeable staff, and a clean environment for my Grandfather who needs memory care assistance. We are happy that he is involved in activities, entertainment and socializing with the other residents. We are happy with his care and the fact that we are welcome to visit with him regularly.

My Dad has been here for a week and we were concerned about him making the transition from home care to group care. The staff has been fabulous in making things as seamless as possible. Dad likes the activities, the food and talking to other clients. We, his family appreciate the cleanliness and smart set up of the rooms and “neighborhoods” but most of all the people who genuinely care about our Dad.

If you are searching for a care facility for a loved one with Alzheimer's, I highly recommend that you visit Brookdale Alderwood before making a decision. I visited Brookdale when my husband was having difficulty at another establishment. Brookdale employees gave me an in-depth tour and invited me to come and spend more time observing their practices. I am very impressed with their gentle and expert interactions with sufferers of this awful disease. I took notes and went back to my husband's facility to encourage them to make changes. When you place a loved one in care, it is important to choose wisely because any change is very hard on them. We are working to make our chosen facility work for us, and the people there are striving to improve, but I wish I had included Brookdale Alderwood in my original search

My step-mother has advanced dementia and we relocated her to Brookdale Alderwood from another local memory care unit. That was the best decision we could have made for her care. The entire staff at Brookdale take a positive and rehabilitative approach, and treat residents with the care and dignity a human being deserves. My stepmother will never recover from her disease, but she has significantly improved in just the short time she’s been at Brookdale. We take great comfort knowing the team at Brookdale gives her the best quality of care and life possible!

(c) Fees: you pay us nothing. If you move into a community we introduced you to, that community pays us a referral fee computed as a percentage of your first month's rent and care charges, invoiced to the community after you move in. If you ask, we will tell you the amount of the fee for any community we refer you to.

(d) Services: MyLivingChoice is a free service that helps families find senior living. We gather a short intake about the care needed, suggest communities that appear able to meet those needs, and introduce you to the ones you choose. For you specifically, we will introduce you to Brookdale Alderwood and share with it your name, contact details and the care needs you described, nothing more.

(e) We will never ask you to waive any claim for loss of personal property or injury, or any right you have under state or federal law.

(f) We work with both you and the community in the same transaction: the community pays us, and we are introducing you to it. To obtain or share confidential health care information about the person who needs care we need your authorization, which you give for the communities named above by acknowledging this statement.
