My father just moved into Clarebridge, the Memory Care portion of Brookdale West Ashley. Melissa (Sales and Marketing), Michelle (Sales Assistant) and Wilson (Executive Director) were all wonderful and very inviting. The Caregivers all seemed compassionate and understanding of my father's need and transition. It took 5 years, but because of Melissa's diligence and follow up, we were able to get him there. Looking forward to a continued good experience!!!!

Always viewed any facility like Brookdale as scary place and not a place I would want to be or send a family member. However, Brookdale has forever changed my mind. I not only feel comfortable with the idea of any of my family members being a resident, I myself would feel very comfortable being there, if the necessity was that. I am grateful 🙏 for all you do. Thanks

I feel sad and sorry that you, another family is in search of a facility and care team for your family member to call home and family. Our country lacks so much support and respect for our elder population and their families. This is the most difficult journey for myself and my family. While I believe Brookdale is not the worst, I believe it could be so much better. I have seen it better. Yes, I may have very high standards. And no I do not have limitless funds. And maybe there was not any planning by my mother to make this any easier on her or me. Yet, could there be better? Do we have to settle? I don't believe Brookdale was honest with me when I was at my most vulnerable, looking for a home for my mother. I feel somewhat betrayed and cheated. But, that is now in the past. I do understand the staffing issues/shortages/retention issues, I believe they may be the same everywhere. More staff, better pay, more incentives,....in the ideal world that could change everything. But, reality is what it is and that does not make it any easier for me, the family. The one that knows who my mother once was, knows how she deserves so much more. I will always strive and hope I can do better, do more, til there is no longer a reason to try or to hope. I hope all at Brookdale caring for the residents can say the same, maybe even just most days. Good luck in your journey. As my mother said at my last visit, "we can only do the best we can".
