I took my brother there from another facility. He loves it and the staff is very friendly as well as the upper management. He loves the food that's a 10 for him. And it's very clean and has a nice smell as well. They do different activities with them also and takes them out if they want to go and they takes them out to eat also. Just wanting them to feel at home.

My mother is a resident at Brookdale Union. She has been very happy with her stay there. All the nursing staff have been so sweet and caring and Susan in sales has been so helpful in our process. The chef has been very caring and makes sure my mom is coming to her meals because she can be forgetful at times. I love that she went out of her way to do this. The facility and her room is so neat and tidy.I thank everyone there for taking such good care of my mom. :)

Went in to see about getting placement for my grandma. The nurse (can't remember her name, I apologize) was a big help. She explained she has over 30 years experience In the Healthcare field. Unfortunately my grandma needs a memory care unit because she has Dementia. The nurse gave me recommendations. They have recently had a new upgrade to their facility, the new paint and exterior landscaping looks amazing. Thank you again Nurse for all your help!

I recently placed my mother in Brookdale Union. From our initial interview through the entire process I dealt with Susan in Sales. She was extremely helpful and professional throughout the entire process. We experienced a few small hiccups along the way and Susan was able to provide us with guidance and support. She has also gone above and beyond with additional assistance even when others were unavailable. Mom has been there for 3 weeks now and pleased thus far.
