Overview
Whether you dream of retirement that's all about taking it easy or one filled with exciting new adventures, you'll get all the support you need to make that dream a reality at Brookdale Smithfield. Located in Smithfield, North Carolina, with convenient access to nearby shopping and restaurants, our senior living community offers two levels of care: assisted living and memory care for seniors with Alzheimer's and dementia.
To help seniors thrive and live life to the fullest, we take care of the basics, like housekeeping and cooking. We can also lend a hand with little things like grooming, dressing, and medication management. We want to help you stress less and free up your time so you can focus more on the things you love most!
For seniors with Alzheimer's and dementia, our memory care program provides a deeper level of care. Depending on your loved one's needs, our specialty-trained staff can help with daily tasks like transportation, healthcare provider coordination, and dining assistance. And, we're there to provide gentle guidance and reminders, too.
If you're wondering what a typical day at Brookdale Smithfield looks like, it truly all depends on how you want it to look like! Our residents enjoy the freedom of choice—and here, there's plenty of choices. On-site amenities like our game room, art studio, salon, and fully-stocked library keep life interesting. We also plan an events calendar with several daily activities you can participate in, like:

My family member has been at Brookdale for over 4 years. We all have concerns about our loved ones. If I ever have a concern, I just get in touch with the administrator, Andrew, and he helps me with it. I can't begin to tell you what a comfort that is - to know I can go to someone and my concern will be taken care of. I am very thankful for Brookdale, Smithfield NC, and for all the staff and people there.

Like someone else said, they have a great sales pitch, make you feel at ease, but when you actually move a family member into the memory care, they charge you for every single little thing. They took him to the hospital without a call to anyone letting us know he had pneumonia, the only reason we found out he went was because a nurse from the hospital called days later to check on him. They tried to overcharge a couple of times, luckily we were able to get my 90 year old grandfather out asap. The place he is in now has much better care, cleaner and way better communication. The girl who is in charge of admissions is terrible. She forgets too many important things and terrible communication. Do not recommend this place to anyone.

My mother, Grace Jones, stayed at Brookdale a little over 3 years. We had a very positive experience there. Management and staff were very professional and courteous. The staff who spent time with my mom, treated her with love and compassion. I will forever remember the relationships we had with all of the caretakers. We will miss all of you, but once this virus is over, I plan to visit you all again. Thank you again for your love, support, kindness, and caring. You will never be forgotten!

My mom is a resident in the memory care section. What staff they have I’ve met is awesome. Management is terrible. Short staffed. No activity director to keep residents engaged. More like a babysitting service it seems. Sadly residents are served the same exact meals every day of the week EVERY week. When I asked director Andrew about why meals aren’t switched up he says they are but that’s untrue. He’s sadly clueless and not involved at all as to what meals are served to his residents he’s responsible for. Who wants to eat the same exact meal every day of every week???? I’m sure he doesn’t nor would anyone else. As I said before the staff I’ve met for dayshift is phenomenal and treats the residents wonderful considering how short staffed they are.
