Our family member arrived at Brookdale almost 3 years ago. We had looked at other places, but Brookdale Lexington seemed more lively and upbeat. We are pleased with the care he has received. Staff, including the personal care givers, medication techs, director, managers and primary care provider, have been very accessible and accommodating. Our family member has extensive health issues and they have been right on top of continually assessing his needs. It’s a plus that Brookdale Lex is small compared with other places. There’s definitely a sense of community which is so vital to the emotional well-being of the residents.

My dad was admitted to the Memory Care unit on January 28th after spending 4 weeks in a skilled nursing facility. Since becoming a resident at Brookdale Lexington he is walking again with a Rollator and his physical appearance has improved significantly. His mental state has stabilized, he is more social, smiles and laughs more, etc. We are very happy with the staff and the facility. The communication is great. We get updates and questions answered in a timely manner and are encouraged to visit with not just dad but with the other residents. It is very rewarding. Nothing is prefect, but if you do have a concern the staff will listen and work with you to address whatever concern you may have. Brookdale Lexington includes the entire family in Dad's care. We are very happy we moved dad into this facility.
