Brookside Senior Living Community

My mother moved into an independent living apartment at Brookside in 2011 and moved to their Assisted Living facility this year. I asked a couple of the direct care workers if they liked working here and they said yes, enthusiastically. In Long-term Care facilities, that is always a good sign that Administration/Management/Ownership treat them well and that they will treat our loved ones well. The caregivers and nursing staff are observant, thorough, warm and engaging. The kitchen staff routinely go above and beyond for Mom. As weight loss has been of concern for her, they will bring her a milkshake in the evenings if she wants. She had always been afraid that she would lose her independence in a residential setting, but at Brookside, the services are very much person-centered.There are lovely activities and celebrations to recognize residents' accomplishments, and the socialization has been an asset for Mom's wellness. The independent living apartments are also being renovated, including installations of accessible bathrooms. We couldn't be happier with Brookside.

The director was pushy. My daughter in law wasn't allowed to finish eating!!The director took it upon herself to cut the cake instead of the bride and groom!! It was a horrible experience!! Way to aggressive and pushy!!

This is a progressive care retirement community. There are small homes for total independent living; cottages, townhouses and quad-plexes for semi-independent living and rooms for semi-assisted living. The staff are friendly and the owner is hands on, very actively involved in the operations. It has a comfortable homey feel. The main building that houses the semi-assisted living has a small beauty shop and the dining room. There is a cute little chapel on the grounds where those in independent living can attend church services and is also available to rent for weddings.
