I have been a part of the Brookdale Avondale community and I can confidently say that it is an amazing place. Everyone here from the staff to the residents are all part of one big family. The comfort, care, respect and provision given to the residents is second to none, with special live music and outdoor nature strolls being provided. On top of this, there are even comfort dogs for residents to pet and hold. It is a safe and secure place to be and after 14 months I couldn't be happier!
