My sister moved into Brookeville House in 2016, having a diagnosis of Early-Onset Alzheimer's. One of the challenges I faced was her age, as I learned that some assisted living facilities had restrictions. Brookeville did not and it was stressed that this facility was not a "home" but a house. If you have ever looked at assisted living/nursing homes, you will know the difference. She was encouraged to participate in cooking and other activities, and made to feel as if it was her own place. The care she received was stellar. I was always updated on anything that was occurring with her, and during the COVID shutdown, they made telephone visits and zoom options available, and were the first to close in their quest to protect their residents. The staff was attentive and caring. The house was always clean and inviting, with a fireplace utilized during cold weather. That little touch helped enhance the warmth of this place, as well as the large yard, which was always well maintained. As time went on, my sister required more supervision and care, which they provided flawlessly. Eventually hospice became involved and that was coordinated by Jennifer and the staff, staying in touch with me to the end. I was lucky to have found this establishment.
