The food was good the first week. They had a lot of activites but I did not participate. I picked this community because, it was a smaller, and I was familiar with area. I would recommend to other families.

I would tell others this is definitely a place to consider. There is good value for the money here. I felt my loved one was safe and well cared for by the staff. The staff were good at communicating with the family with any questions or concerns we had.

Brookdale Smithfield

4.3
Staff is excellent. Very helpful and very friendly. Facilities are clean and well decorated- feels very "homey." Meals could be better - according to Mom they are often served cold or lukewarm. Then again she is very picky. Cost went way up this new year, but still good value.
