I was very impressed with brookdale when we toured the community for my father. They are an exclusive memory care only facility and specialize in taking care of residents which memory issues. The staff was very responsive and have continued to provide a lot of information to us when we ask. We liked the outdoor area which is safe and secure. This was different from the other facilities we toured. The place was very clean and we left very impressed with the facility, the staff and all the care givers. The only slight issue we had during the tour was the food was a bit on the bland side.
