    Appears brookdale deleted a lot of their reviews in an attempt to get their rating back up. you have to be vigilant and check on old reviews now days because Google is letting more and more companies do this. But, nonetheless I wouldn’t recommend their memory care wing to ANYONE! the independent living side is a little better but the memory care sign is short staffed, undersupplied, & the issues are endless. They have like a 32 bed facility and they run 4-5 staff & one nurse. The turnover at the top is outrageous and just in general. The main issue lies in running a shift w/ 32 dementia patients and few staff, people are sitting in waste, people who need assist feeding are unable to get fed, the list is endless. I do not recommend brookdale or any place who constantly has senior level turnover to anyone.

    My Mother was reluctant to make this life change but the staff at Brookdale has treated her with respect and kindness as she has settled in to her new home. She loves watching the birds and both the front porch and the back patio gardens. She is thrilled with the home cooked menu and her physical care needs are being met fully. The social setting has allowed her freedom to develop new friendships while maintaining her own level of privacy and independence . All of the staff has been welcoming and helpful to our family as we visit Mom often in her new home!

    Do not send your loved ones here! My Grandpa lived in the memory care area from 2021 to 2023. The executive directors lasted for a maximum of three months and continually cycled. They appeared short staffed, and the majority of the workers were ambivalent. For a memory care facility, they appeared ill-equipped to deal with basic sundowning and dementia behaviors. They sent my grandpa to the ER multiple times for agitation. Their threshold for sending him was very low, and it just seemed like they didn't want to deal with him. They even once sent him to the ER shirtless and without any identifying paperwork (I am not sure what would have happened if we hadn't come). We watched most of the residents who had been living there with him get moved out by their families. We ended up moving my grandpa to a new facility, and we regretted not doing it sooner!
