As a hospice chaplain I’ve had a lot of opportunities to experience the facility and especially the staff. First, the door is open and I greet a smiling face. Second is the smell that invites you in to a beautiful dayroom. Third is the staff that are warm, helpful and have the air of a calling and not a paycheck.<br><br>If I ever need a home away from home, I’d be thrilled to live here. Ozzie Carlton / Gentiva Hospice

My parents moved into Brookdale in May 2025. I searched all over town to find a place I felt would be perfect for them, and without a doubt, it was Brookdale! The staff is so loving and caring. Nikki, the new chef, is incredible. My mom loves the food. My 95-year-old dad went to heaven in early June, and the staff wrapped my mom in compassion and empathy. Lakesha, the new director, is innovative and creative and is very patient-centered.<br>The residents appear to be very happy and content. As an RN, I looked for a facility with very critical eyes, and Brookdale has not disappointed!<br>Gail Ewing & family

Brookdale has come some ways and still undergoing improvement as time allow. They have a new director that cares for the building and the residents and it shows. I also see new staff members who also interacts with the residents and from what I can see they light up when entering the building. When visiting I am greeted with a smile and always told to travel safe when leaving, every time. I am one who believes change is good when it's beneficial and I can't wait to see the new and improve changes that continues to come to Brookdale. And I want the staff to keep up the good work.

Very poor care. Mother waited 30 min. To 1 hour for help getting to the bathroom.I spoke with 4-5 other wheel chair residents and they all said same thing. You wait a long time for help. Mother began to decline and in 1 month price went from $4,400.00 to $13,600.00<br>Yes, that is NOT a typo above!<br>Understaffed!!
