Please, if your loved one has dementia, keep them from this place! Our mother (last year) had to stop living independently. We made BROOKDALE at Salisbury one of our finalists for Moms placement. Everyone was so very nice and interested during the “courting” process. They assured us that they were well staffed and equipped to handle “moderate level” memory care patients. Their OWN Assessor labeled our Mom as such. We gave them our vote of confidence and placed our loved one in their care! There was an immediate change in tone! Not so caring anymore, additional costs all the time. After one month we were told we had to have someone sit with her around the clock IN THEIR FACILITY! Food service was suspect. No assistance (as we were promised) with personal care and hygiene. Now, the once very friendly management was either no where to be seen or agitated at the very thought of talking with us. As a result, we had to find a full Memory care unit for Mom and the drain on her finances was significantly worse than it had to be. Please, please think carefully about placing your loved one here if they are, at any stage, a dementia patient! Thank you for reading my thoughts.
