Finding the "right fit" of a forever home for a loved one is a big decision for a family to make. Every time we visit Brookdale East, the staff welcomes all of us with warm smiles, genuine kindness, and a positive "vibe." The staff -resident interactions are compassionate and attentive. The "sprinkles on top" was discovering that our loved one will be able to room with her beloved little dog, reunited after a long separation at another facility. We are truly grateful that such a special place exists.

Response from the owner · 3 weeks ago

This makes us so happy to hear, Lisa! We are excited to welcome your loved one to our community — and her little dog too!

While touring numerous care facilities, one morning I stopped by Brookdale Dementia and Alzheimer’s Care, I immediately felt this was a good place to care for my loved one. Over several years, I have observed Brookdale staff interact with residents; they display such kindness and patience toward all residents that it makes me feel comfortable knowing my brother is being cared for in the same manner. I also appreciate the prompt personal contact when a situation arises and weekly newsletter keeping all loved ones informed. Recently they have started a Memory Care Support Group. It is important to keep our loved ones engaged. A daily agenda lists various types of activities. Most afternoons residents enjoy a light snack followed by music in the game room. Familiar songs are played with lyrics displayed on screen. You would be surprised to hear most everyone singing and swaying along. It is a pleasure to sing with them.

After my dad passed away in October, we felt Brookdale was the best place for my mother. The staff truly cares—not just for her, but for all the residents. I really enjoy seeing how they interact with everyone; their kindness is genuine. Just last week, my mom had about five family members visiting. One of the staff members stopped by, noticed the gathering, and came back shortly with ice cream for everyone. It’s those small, thoughtful gestures that make such a meaningful difference.

We all have or know someone with a dementia / alzheimers story . Everyone’s story is different. The staff at Brookdale East have from the start been, first of all compassionate but also professional in their care and have shown that the residents are individuals that deserve patience and dignity . It began with Rick showing us around and explaining things to Jennifer taking time to listen to our specific concerns, to Colleen walking mom around outside on her first nite here, to Taylor putting water in the bird bath outside her window. As the family of a new resident we are very grateful for their care and experience.

I just recently moved my mom from Assisted Living to Brookdale memory care. I checked several other locations but all of them seemed like no activities we're going on at all. When I was at Brookdale it was like a party was happening right then and there! Since my mom has moved in her attitude has improved significantly. She is happy and laughing. And so far we have not found her sitting in wet clothing as happened all the time at the assisted living facility. In the past two moves from Independent Living to Assisted Living, my mom would say over and over that she just wanted to go home. That has not been the case with Brookdale. I would strongly recommend Brookdale Memory Care for anyone needing a wonderful place for their loved one. I am certain they will see a great difference in their loved ones attitude and level of care!

The staff are extremely respnsive to the residents, and they have positive upbeat attitudes which literally impact patient care. The interactions are warm and caring. BROOKDALE has a well lit, bright and cheerful ambience, which also makes it feel very homey. I would be completely comfortable referring anyone to this memory care facility.
