My mom is doing fine at this community. We are having a little trouble with the meals and they are handling it well. The planned activities has been good for my mom to try out. I feel they are providing good care and the staff are communicating very well with me.

Brookstone Alzheimer's Special Care Center in Salem, OR

What we like the most about the Brookstone Alzheimer community is that it is clean and the residents are well taken care for. We would recommend this community to other families but it depends on residents needs. I don't think there is enough activity...they just took away what there was.
