My aunt resides at Brookdale Monterrey and I could not be happier with the care she receives! I live in a different state and can always count on staff to keep me updated and care for her in the most loving way!

Brookdale Monterey, hires some extremely caring personnel. My mother has been enrolled for almost 3urs now. Without this facility availability, my mother would have a very different life. This is a memory care facility for elderly unable to remain at home. My mother had no daily activities to speak of when living by herself. Brookdale has daily activities, family interaction, holidays, birthdays, and so much more. Cannot say enough about the activities here. The conscientious staff, always keeps me informed. God Bless them all!

My father recently moved into a memory care home to address his changing needs. As difficult of a decision this was, I have found Brookdale Monterey to be a blessing in the loving care and kindness given to my father. Danielle and Deirdre operate a home away from home with dedication, patience and loving compassion. There are daily activities, always coffee, laughter, sharing of memories, outings, and the feel of community & family. The staff are amazing - I can tell that they truly care for my father’s well being. Being over 300 miles away from my father is difficult, however I feel at ease knowing my father is in the absolute best hands! Thank you for all you do every day!

This is assisted living technically, but with a memory care license, so it's been perfect for our 92 year old father. He enjoys having his own belongings/furniture in his room. Also, he enjoys meals with his new buddies. The nurses are very caring. I think Dad has "won them over"😁 He’s been here for about 9 months now, and he loves the staff and accommodations. They take special care of him. Danielle takes him all around town, and not just for doctor appointments 😊👍 They’ve been to the Windmill museum, lunch here and there, ice cream, etc.
