Brookdale Lakeshore

A BIG hug to Ed and the caring staff at Brookdale Lakeshore. They have been so patient, kind and helpful to us and our Mom. Thank you so much for all that you do - Beverly and Duke Johnston

When my mom was no longer able to live in her senior community in August of 2018, I had a very short time to find a suitable new home for her. Complicating the situation was she (and I) was located in Dallas, TX, but her wish and her son-in-law/grandchildren's wish was to re-locate to Waco (~110 miles south of Dallas) where they were. So walking into Brookdale Lakeshore for the 1st time was very stressful, as I'd been to a couple of other senior communities in the Waco area that were highly recommended, yet when I visited them they were either poorly maintained or the staff were indifferent to our challenges (or both). THANK GOD WE FOUND BROOKDALE LAKESHORE! My girlfriend (now wife) is a health insurance agency owner had suggested we check them out, and we immediately knew it was the place for my mom. From day 1, the management team there (Betty & Ed) took the time to hear our needs and reassure us that she would get excellent care there. She is currently in her own 1 bedroom apartment as she is still able to manage the majority of her daily needs. But the staff is always available and willing to help her with other tasks that she occasionally forgets how to do. Brookdale Lakeshore just blew away the other senior living situations in the Waco area that we reviewed for cleanliness, support, and activities for the residents. My mom's 1 year anniversary there was on Oct 15th, and I cannot thank Ed, Betty, and the entire staff enough for their help, support, and love to make her living there as comfortable as possible. Its truly a relief to know that my mom is so well taken care of, and Im so thankful to have found Brookdale Lakeshore in Waco for her. I highly recommend them to anyone that has a family member who needs to be in a similar setting in the Waco, TX area to check them out for their services and see if they would be a good fit for your loved one. I would give them 10 stars if I could!!!!

Staff is outstanding and make you feel at home! They stop at nothing to make your experience warm and inviting, from their comfortable community areas and choice of suites to exceptional outdoor landscaping. Would definitely recommend this community for the excellent care and value that is offered to families.

My Grandmother lives here and we have seen an improvement in her. She enjoys the people here and that she is able to be as independent as she wants. The staff here is so wonderful and caring. It is a blessing to know that she is safe and well taken care of by all the amazing people at Brookdale Lake Shore.

It's a nice place but I don't see a one on one with Dementia Patients. They need interaction on regular basis, not just sitting in their rooms alone. The staff appears very nice. I wish interaction on a daily basis was happening.
