My dad moved into Brookdale in July of last year, starting in Assisted Living and transitioning to Memory Care about five months later. Having worked in long-term care for most of my career, I understand how critical strong communication and compassionate care are. I have been very pleased with both. Any concern or suggestion I’ve brought forward has been addressed promptly and thoughtfully, which speaks volumes about the leadership and their commitment to residents and families. The staff have been consistently kind, attentive, and genuinely caring. I’ve also noticed that most team members have been here since my dad first moved in—something that says a lot about how well staff are supported and, in turn, how well they care for residents. Now that my dad is in Memory Care, I am especially grateful for the training and compassion the team brings to supporting residents with dementia. Since retiring to spend more time with him, I’ve been able to see firsthand the patience, respect, and skill they bring to their work each day. When I can’t be with him, I have real peace of mind knowing he’s in good hands. I also appreciate the sense of community they create. Their monthly themed Family Nights are thoughtfully done and provide a meaningful way for families to connect and support one another. If I had to make this decision again, I would absolutely choose Brookdale. The people here truly feel like family.

My 90 year old father came to live here after a fractured hip and progressive dementia. The Memory Care is just wonderful. My father is well looked after and gets the assistance he needs. The food is very good and all the staff are kind and caring. Brookdale is cozy and homey and a perfect fit for dad.

Staff have been carrying and attentive to my parents since moving into Brookdale-WF in December 2025. They have addressed any wants or needs with promptness and kindness. Staff have longevity in this community and are very caring. They have a heart for this field and support for those who live at Brookdale and their families.

I had a wonderful time at the community! Kenae Rice, Business Office Manager was able to answer all my questions and able to give me tour of the facility. Kenae was very personal with the residence, I love the way that she engaged with the residence.
