The most corrupt and unprofessional place I’ve ever dealt with!! I was told to give notice to my apartments and there was OA one bedroom with my name on it!! Less than 24 hours later, they said there was no availability!! I was flabbergasted by their horrible behavior!! As a result of my review, your explanation to me makes no rational sense!!!!!

Providing a percussion wellness class for the senior community at Brookdale West University was a meaningful experience. The session focused on gentle drumstick exercises, using familiar oldies tracks to stimulate memory, movement, and connection through sound. We explored basic rudiments in a relaxed way, and I also drew from my Brazilian percussion background—especially repique and caixa technique—to introduce rhythm in a way that felt engaging but still comfortable for everyone present.<br><br>What mattered most was creating a space where each participant felt at ease, supported, and mindful of their own wellbeing while making music together. Seeing the smiles, the subtle movements of hands keeping time, and the shared sense of rhythm in the room was a powerful reminder that percussion can be both expressive and restorative at any stage of life.<br><br>I’m grateful to Brookdale Senior Living for welcoming this kind of musical wellness into their community and for valuing the role that rhythm can play in care, memory, and human connection. A huge shout out to Hope Stone for giving me the opportunity.

I moved in and the first staff I met were wonderful. Then within 8 months there was new staff and they were very rude and no courtesy, uncaring. I started to feel very uncomfortable. I lived with black mold in my bathroom ceiling and it took maintenance forever to want to work on the ceiling when I've already gave notice to move out! I was getting sick from breathing the black mold and I had to moved out immediately. I'm a retired military veteran and I can't believe the living conditions I had to deal with.
