My Mother has been at Brookdale for 2 1/2 years. She has thrived as a community member. The staff has been very attentive and put together programs and activities focused on what the community wants including lots of events for families to join. My Mother started out in independent living, but as time has progressed she has needed more services and Brookdale has helped us navigate each of these changes in a respectful and caring way. We are very happy we found Brookdale.

I moved my mother who has dementia in here about 2 weeks ago. My mother is REAL pain. However so far I'm not impressed. Very disorganized. Lack of communication. You ask for something like knobs for you're loved ones room and good luck getting follow through for days. I've been asking for a garage clicker for a week now with now follow through. At least three "need to knows" we're addressed to me in passing as oh by the way, which is not professional. They can't seem to get my mom's name spelled right which makes me concerned that they don'tpay attention to details or other things that could be more serious. The food is gross to look at, let alone consume. I chose this Brookdale location because they take Medicaid and are close to me. Otherwise I'd put my mother elsewhere. What should one expect for almost 6k a month? Seems like they only care about money and recruiting residents. Good luck getting a return call or text from the rental manager unless it involves money. Alyssa is the only employee there that is worthy and passionate.
