My dad moved into Brookdale Central a few months ago and overall we are very pleased with our decision and how well the transition has gone. While the decision to move was difficult, once that was done everything else went fairly smoothly. The staff and other residents were super welcoming, the activities calendar gave him a reason to get out of his room and be social in those early weeks, and the care team did a nice job checking in on him occasionally. Overall we are very happy with how well things are going.
