$10,000/month for 2 bedroom...
reviewed on: 08/08/2014 by Anonymous$10,000/month for 2 bedrooms; smaller facility than Skyline (merged with Skyline company to become largest provider in U.S.); has all levels -independent to nursing
Friendly staff
reviewed on: 07/01/2014 by Jim R.I guess the one issue is that a lot of times the nursing staff isn’t completely up to date on the status of the patient – or the mix up the patients. My father seems to like the food. There is enough parking.
Comfort for mom!
reviewed on: 03/09/2017 by AnonymousThe care from the staff has been great, they make my mother feel comfortable and welcome. The meals are very good, my mother really enjoys them and says they have a good taste. The community itself is very clean and maintained well. I would recommend this Brookdale to anyone looking because they are good at what they do.
Pleasant Experience
reviewed on: 08/05/2015 by AnonymousI think for my mom, she might have been starting to deteriorate when she got there, so I think as far as assisted living goes, the value she got was decent. I think if someone were not wheelchair bound it would have been a better experience, but for someone who is wheelchair bound it's hard to get a round. We had a pretty pleasant experience there for the most part.
Affordable and a lovely environment.
reviewed on: 09/08/2016 by Mary Lynne KetchamThis facility is lovely and yet more affordable than many others we looked at. Our mom lived here for while several years ago and now we have moved another relative here. It is still the nicest and most affordable mid-range Assisted Living facility in the area. The staff is very caring and there are lots of activities. The dining room offers nice food and a restaurant environment where residents can even order wine with their meal. But only one glass, which is wise. The only problem we have encountered is trying to line up the local phone service. It has happened both times we have moved a loved one in. You have to insist with the local phone company that they send a warm body to the facility and not try to connect locally. That was a hassle that I feel is unnecessary. Overall I would give this place a nine out of ten.
