I moved my mom into Brookdale this summer. The whole experience has been easy, professional, friendly, and amazing. The facility is immaculate and has basically everything that you could imagine to make life interesting and fun at a senior-living facility. There are tons of activities every day and there is a daily bus for shopping at some of the local stores like Kohls, Target, Jewel and Walmart. There are medical professionals who come on site weekly and monthly. And the food is really really good. Like, unexpectedly good for a facility that has to feed so many people every day. Finally the staff is fantastic. Everyone from the marketing people that you meet when you are first looking at the facility to the people in charge of cleaning, in-room service, activities, transportation, and food. Everyone is friendly, professional, and competent. Brookdale is the kind of place that all of us would be lucky to find ourselves living in, when we get to that stage.

My mom is very happy at Brookdale. She tells everyone she knows that they should come there when the time comes. I am happy to know that she gets a healthy dinner and interacts with wonderful people. I enjoy joining in at the weekly Happy Hours when I can so I get to know the staff and the residents as well. My mom is happy; I am happy!

My grandma moved to Brookdale this year and it has been a wonderful experience. It took her a minute to adjust, but the staff and residents were nothing but supportive and encouraging. It's a very lively community with beautiful facilities and many fun activities.
