I cannot adequately express my gratitude and high esteem for Brookdale East in Hendersonville, NC. When life handed our family circumstances beyond our control and we needed a place for my 94 year old grandmother to call home, Brookdale answered our call. I had promised my very active and independent grandmother that I would never put her in one of “those” places. Never say never! We have found Brookdale to be an excellent alternative to what we never wanted. My “Nanny” continues to live an independent life but with the support and comfort that I was struggling to provide. From the 3 terrific meals in the restaurant style dining room, the weekly housekeeping, the planned activities and daily interaction with her peers and staff, my mind is always at ease when it comes to her comfort and safety. I am able to visit her daily and have made many new friends myself. If you find yourself in a situation where you need a solution for a place for an aging loved one, consider Brookdale! It’s one of the very best decisions we have made!

My mom, my siblings, and I loved Brookdale Hendersonville East the most for its staff and their passion for empowering the elderly. They work hard to provide tools that promote health and longevity. They are a compassionate, loving, and supportive team that spread happiness and hope. My mother made friends, laughed, attended their workshops and events, and loved every minute. Her quality of life was heightened through their caring and support. She was able to have her 18 year old dog, Cooper, with her and everyday she was there I received a happy and excited phone call. Sadly, her diseased progressed and her beautiful spirit exited her body peacefully on 10/21/23. It brings me tears of comfort and joy as I reflect on our good times at Brookdale. Thank you Andria, Jayce, Lee, and Flash to name a few. We are forever grateful. 🤗🥰❤️
