My experience with Brookdale is positive. It is much more important than I initially realized to carefully match the capabilities of the prospective resident to the level of care the facility offers.

My Dad was there for such a short time we did not get very acquainted with the staff. Those we did interact with were very friendly and helpful.

Brookdale Columbia

I chose the community due to close to my home and the staff was welcoming. The cost was reasonable for my Dads needs now and in the future along with the cleanness.
